Stations heard in Ibiuna SP, BRAZIL #462

*** Starting at 2300 UTC, here in southern/southeastern Brazil, many Spanish-language medium-wave stations can be heard every night. On almost every medium-wave frequency, at least one Spanish-language station can be heard. 

Even where there are frequencies with signals from Brazil, those from other countries can be heard by applying a slight rotation of a loop antenna. 

Not only are we hearing stations from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, but now we also receive medium-wave stations from Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and not infrequently from the United States, Cuba, and others in the Caribbean region without much difficulty. 

We are returning to a reality experienced in the 1960s. The Brazilian stations, for the most part, have left the medium waves (migrating to FM), and in those that are still on the air, it is noticeable that they are operating with reduced power until their extinction. 

In the matter of being listeners of medium waves, we cease to be merely Brazilian citizens and become considered South American citizens!!! (Rudolf Grimm).
