Radio Clube do Para on 4885 is still on. Also, Radio Difusora Acrena on the same frequency (but I don't think I've heard them). 4865 has Radio Alvorada de Londrina with 5KW. Definitely a lot more back in the 1990s, but 90% of them are gone. Used to be a lot in Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia with 1-5KW each.
Dept. of Serendipity, southwest suburban Chicago Division: Looking, based on an Internet tip, for 1580 WLIJ Shelbyville, Tenn., running tonight (1/22-23) on day power, I get WWCD Columbus, Ohio, running tonight on day power instead. 3,200 watts instead of the proper 290 watts after dark. I shall be grateful for my bounty and not complain that one station is illegally overriding another vagrant.
Interesting that WJR is less strong near where I am in Chicago, despite being closer to them. You can get a trace of it during the daytime on Lake Shore Drive, but otherwise it's not a daytime station at all. On radio-locator.com they do show it to be slightly weaker here than in some of the suburban areas, for some reason.
The presence of WNDZ 750 wipes out causal (for a DXer, anyway) listening of WJR. The signal is barely there in the winter but you need fancy equipment to hear anything until you’re far enough from WNDZ. Naperville is a good example. Then WJR is audible on a car radio, though less strong than WLW.
Conditions still not great, but a little DX action. Houston, TX, times CST.

1310 XEVB Mexico, Monterrey NL, 1/20 1809 clear "Mas Vallenata" ID under KTCK, no sign of usual XEAM (Mwlist says they're inactive now) or KAHL
1510 XEPBGR Mexico, Guadalajara Jal. 1/19 0015 clear ID as "Radio Miled 15-10 AM, Guadalajara", pop mx in English. Dominating WLAC, usual XEQI also apparently inactive now.
KRXO is my 400th station logged from Houston. I'm pretty happy with that, using a portable radio in a noisy location. Hopefully conditions will improve soon...

On Jan. 31 starting at 10:09 p.m. CT, I heard 1200 WFCN underneath local WOAI in a slight partial N/NW null on my Sony IEX5 MK2. Signal was weak but good enough to match the station's webstream with Christian preaching and songs by Phil Wickham and Jeremy Camp.
The only other time I've heard WFCN was a night back in November when I was in Rockport, TX.
Based on those two receptions and several posts on this forum, it seems that the folks at WFCN forget to sign off at night a lot.

When I was in Vallejo around New Years Dog/Cat Sitting for my brother, KDYA 1190 was on at night, I forgot what night it was
I read somewhere in the last month or so that it is a single digit number, around 8.
When I was in Ecuador in the later 60's, there were just under 100 domestic shortwave stations (not counting HCJB). Today, there are none. I had the pleasure of turning one of them off and pushing the transmitter into a ravine so I did not have to pay to move it to Quito where I took the AM that came with it.
A recent report from an experienced Brazilian SWDXer listed 13 SWBC frequencies still active in that country. A few stations simulcast on two different transmitters, so that might explain the “8” number you read.
Back in the 1960s there were around 200 Brazilian stations on SW.

It was the era of open transmitters which were basically a locally built frame the size of a standard equipment rack with no doors or side panels. Transformers and chokes on the floor, the crystal oscillator and and RF driver and the audio on a vertical panel in the middle and the RF and modulator tubes on a shelf at the top, leading to a ceramic pass through insulator in the transmitter roof leading right to the inverted "L" antenna above the shack, where it hung between some big phone poles or even trees.
None of it was worth keeping. I wish I had taken pics, but I was too busy actually doing the dismantling and construction to take time to do that.
Reminds me a little of our college carrier current station in Iowa. We called it "The Electronic Junkyard."..including on-air. We stayed on the air (570khz) with used parts, borrowed parts. homebrew parts (including a homebrew board in the studio), stuff we bought from the local Western Auto hardware store (usually with someone else's money, etc. Ehen the carrier current transmitter connection failed; we strung a 75-foot wire on the roof of the student union building. Good times!
I was able to recieve a new signal to add to my log tonight (940 khz), however I am not quite sure what I have here, and would like to borrow a few ears.
This station apparently plays 60s-70s music based on the songs that was heard, but the noise level was a bit much. If you skip to 31 seconds in, you hear what sounds like a branding ID, but my internet searches have ran dry. What do you all think?
