On March 19th, I was able to record a particularly strong signal from Alcaravan Radio out of Puerto Lleras, Columbia. Alcaravan Radio broadcasts domestically on medium wave and also on 5.91 MHZ shortwave, from 23:30-12:00 UTC.
I have seen their output power listed anywhere from 1,000 - 5,000 watts; a puny amount by international standards, but more than enough to cover their target area of Columbia.
There are very few details about Alcaravan Radio on the Internet. If anyone can add more details about this station, feel free to comment below.
This is a four hour recording and contains about three hours of music.
