Looking at FIne Tununig 728 edited by Larry Yamron (QTH:351 Churchill Rd. Pittsburg, PA 15235, USA) We "learn" Mr. Roland Schulze, unfamous DXer living in Stuttgart, Germany, has been able to listen on 4875 kHz the 3 February at 0215-0228 with ID "W./MX BRIDGES" RADIO JORNAL DO BRASIL we are tired to see still idiots tips like this, coming from R.Schulze edited in good weekly Fine Tuning Bulletin !!! Please stop to edit such nonsense tips !!! on 4875 kHz just R.DIFUSORA RORAIMA reported everywhere in the world and in Brasil !!! so why write so "Bovinamente" (please buy a latin vocabulary) such nonsense tip !!! I visited in RADIO JOTA BE (JORNAL DO BRASIL) in Rio de Janeiro last November 93 they operate ONLY over FM band, AM 940 kHz sold to evangelic people, and shortwave CLOSED definitively from 3 years !!!!. So please Larry look at what you are compiling, or your good work will be surely vanished and will become just like "Cacca" (buy an italian vocabulary, please).........finally both WRTH 94 & Shortwave bulletin in Sweden LA-Horighetslista don't report on 4875 kHz R.Jornal do Brasil.

All signals picked up on a Watkins-Johnson HF-1000 with a 500 foot inverted "L" connected to the antenna input. QTH of receiver: Almaden Valley (land of no RFI) here in San Jose, California. Only QRM is that of wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, owls, and mountain lions, ... and only five minutes from Nordstroms!

Your suggestions for change always welcome. Sorry didn't have time to bounce this off tropical experts before I posted this. I taped all the signals, so could give more details, but does anyone care? 7254.994 0558 UTC Voice of Nigeria (Ikorodu) Great signal; OM in English followed by stupid "talky" type song with some bozo (Barry White) moaning about "his woman".
