A curiosity

[Humberto]

Hi:
Check this ID, It was recorded on 72.9 MHz in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Is from "Radio Selectos", the station that provides music around the country for the supermarket chain called "Super Selectos". This channel was former "TeleOnda Musical", an elevator music provider.
I think It's a curiosity, because the ID including the frequency.
It was made with my US$ 4.00 chinese digital radio SONIVOX VS-DR469 with tv sound ¡¡

Very unusual. Do you know what the power level is? I programmed 72.9 into my scanner receiver and perhaps the next E skip to El Salvador will bring it in. I hear 89.3 "Cool FM" often and will look closely at 72.9 then.
These type stations are also in Chile with the 47.9 the most often heard, but they never ID.

They are with 1.5 kW on the top of San Salvador Volcano, so they reach almost all country

May 13 E skip opened to El Salvador and I put in 72.9 WFM on the Radio Shack PRO2004 scanner with the 8 element log periodic antenna.

Here's how it came out. audio is not all that great on the scanner.
Also 89.3 YSLR was in good around the same time this recording was made and it's included. another signal was found about 72.725 MHz but was much weaker and I only hear music during it's brief appearance.

Thanks Humberto. I have not heard that station yet. Still wondering about the one that zeroed in closer to 72.225. Another El Salvador opening brought in 72.9 Radio Selectos. This time I caught the ID with the frequency announced, in the second audio. They played many classic EE hits from the 70's and 80's. ABBA "Waterloo" is in the first slip.

Randy:
What kind of music was on 72.225 (or 72.725??), was instrumental only??

My mistake, the frequency was 72.725. It was pop type music in both English and Spanish.

well, maybe a spurios or mix signal. This stations have a bad reputation about interfering local 2 m ham repeaters, also for drifting.
