Banda tropicale con sorpresa: Radio Quillibamba 5024.92 kHz

Sono stato qualche giorno a Bocca di Magra con Dario Monferini per le nostre solite DXnigths. Questa era la numero 29. Dopo molto tempo abbiamo avuto la fortuna di incappare in un momento di buona propagazione in banda tropicale.

L'ascolto più simpatico è stato certamente Radio Quillibamba su 5024.9 kHz. Ascolto di solito impossibile in quanto la frequenza di 5025 è occupata da Radio Rebelde. Ma stavolta l'emittente cubana era OFF AIR !!! Il segnale dal Perù era molto debole ma non c'erano interferenze e abbiamo potuto ascoltare musica e un id alle 0101. Poi alle 0105 Radio Rebelde è tornata on air e tanti saluti, chissà per quanto tempo.

Ecco comunque il log tropicale
