Some time ago, using a RGP3 ferrite loop antenna (homemade by Rene Passold, a
great radio friend), while in Ibiuna, outside the great metropolis of São
Paulo, it was possible to hear two BBN stations on the same frequency: 1100 kHz
Viña del Mar-Chile, and by rotating the RGP3 antenna (ferrite loop) very
slowly, the signal from Viña del Mar gradually disappeared, ‘zeroing’ it, but
when continuing with the very slow rotation, a new signal from BBN Radio came
in. From the angles applied to the loop in this experiment, the second signal
received was from Bogotá, Colombia (tentative). Reporting this experiment to
BBN Radio, they confirmed the existence of these two distinct signals, which
transmit the same original programming.
