Hi there, this is one of the strongest regional stations on shortwave...but it has a large area to cover anyway....Brazil is a large country. The IC-R75 is so good on sideband, but when adjacent signals allow, AM Wide delivers quite nice audio.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 29/05/26 at xx:xx hrs UTC.

Thanks for watching and 73.
