Radio Pirana Int tests from South America

Just a reminder to you that RADIO PIRANA INTERNATIONAL is on the air every day from South America until April 3rd from about 20.00 to 14.00UTC on 6930 kHz.

The station even was heard in Europe at about 23.00 and 05.00 UTC - with tiny, but clear signals. So give this station a try, even they also relay Radio Cochiguaz and others now and then.

For always better reception check web KiwiSDR in Pardinho, Brazil http://appr.org.br:8073/, where signals are audible nearly all day long.
