~ It seems there is renewed activity on 60 meters from Brazil lately, which is certainly good news. Radio Educadora on 4824 kHz, broadcasting from Tefe; and Radio Aprecieda, broadcasting from Aprecieda on 4925 kHz, have both been reactivated. Odd that both have reemerged at about the same time and both just slightly off their assigned channels. Let’s hope for more.

~ On the not-so-positive side, Voz Missionaria broadcasting from Camboriu has been unstable on and off lately, continues its wayward ways and has approached 9670 kHz, a good 5 kHz off its assigned spot on 9665 kHz.

~ After an absence of several years, WMLK has returned from a former gas station outside Bethel, Pennsylvania with a much-advertised higher power on 9275 kHz and a strong but not-so-high-quality signal.

~ It must be fun living within easy reception range of Radio Vanuatu, aside from enjoying the beaches! What with the coming / going of their third harmonic, which gives them a sort of an unofficial “international service” on 11835 kHz. The second harmonic on 7890 kHz is not quite so widely heard. Let’s enjoy it while we can.
