I received Alcaravan Radio on Sunday night on 5910 kHz. Following a program with Latin American music I heard a DX program “Onda Continua”. In this program they also transmitted their call sign and frequency in CW, so I could practice my morse skills again. The e- QSL Alcaravan Radio 5910 kHz arrived in just two days.
The DX program was presented by Rafael Rodriguez who is also QSL manager for Alcaravan Radio: rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com . He wrote me that “Onda Continua” is aired on Saturdays and Sundays at 1, 4 and 9 hr UTC.
Rafael also invites you to visit his DX blog: http://dxdesdecolombia.blogspot.com/, and his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DXdesdeColombia/videos .
Nice one Peter !
Maintaining my morseskills is a lifelong task for me.
Every year my newyear’s resolution is to practice more my morse, but every year there is something unexpected that cross that intention 😉
Good DX !
Thank you Patrick, I was very happy with this one… cost me two nights! My morse skills are definitely not good… and I can’t always blame propagation conditions for my failure. I received “Ghost in the Air Glow” project from HAARP Alaska recently, with a poem in 20 words per minute… Too weak for tools like MultiPSK. For me that is just making a record, and play over and over again, until I got it decoded!
That said… this is only my fourth Colombian radiostation that I got QSL-ed, and not because of a lack of trying. Really happy that Rafael is apparently into the DX scene!
