With a considerable exodus of Brazilian stations from medium wave, following the nationally encouraged migration program to FM, which is still in effect, an excellent space opens up for tuning in to a good number of South American stations (on practically all frequencies).
Sometimes, two or three stations from more than one country are heard on the same frequency, making it a good exercise in using a good loop antenna.
The vast majority of stations that arrive are from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, but on nights 'blessed' by the opening of propagation, we have received stations from Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, and the United States. Before the migration process to FM, it was impractical to have this contact with an excellent number of South American stations and beyond.
Some carriers (some weaker, some stronger) have been present in recent days: 639, 657, 828, 891, 1134, 1179, and 1498 kHz. The 828 kHz frequency, in particular, has shown the best results in recent days (with only a few bursts of music and male voice communication), which, in a first preliminary analysis, we can think of as Radio Magic 828 AM, South Africa. This station has been arriving occasionally. In 2021, after listening to it in better conditions, I sent them a reception report, and was rewarded with a reply via email in just one day.
It is suspected that we can even create imaginations about the other carriers, but in radio listening, responsible patience makes us try to listen to them in better conditions to have new information that leads us to success. Eyes and ears are wide open!
