Yesterday evening saw a number of stations from Argentina and Uruguay on the AM bands. A friend from further south in the country reports there were also Brazilians around, but alas, I did not hear them.
Reports have gone out to Radio Carve (Uruguay) 850 kHz and Radio Continental (Argentina) on 590 kHz. Both were heard at good levels. The former gave a wonderful id and the latter was identified via their website.
I am not holding my breath for a verification, but .... here's hoping.
In addition to this Radio Bahia Blanca (Argentina) was there on 840 mixed with Radio Salta (Argentina) - both were dientified via their website.
The best of the evening was to be had on 1400 where Radio Zorrilla de San Martin (Uruguay) was fighting it out with Radio Cumbre (Argentina - 1kw). There was a third station there as well, but we could not identify it.
In recent days I have also logged Radio Voz Missionaria on 5939.54 and 9665 and Radio Nove de Julho on 9818.74. Reports have been sent but again, my breath is not being held.
DXing in Mangawhai

Stay Safe
Here in New Zelaand we are under a four week lockdown due to the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic, which is sweeping the world.
The government eventually got its act together and has responded in a very positive fashion. It is quite bizarre to go up form ouor house in Titirangi (Auckland) onto the main road and have no cars go past. It is a surreal situation.
I went to the supermarket yesterday and queued up outside to be one of the 50 shoppers allowed into the (large) supermarket at one time.
Maureen and I are safe and well and I hope wherever you are in the world you are too. This is not a situation to be taken lightly, neither is it something to be greatly worried about - if you follow the advice given by the health authorities. Economically the world may not be the same again, but as long as we are healthy, it is of secondary importance.
To people in the United States - I am sorry you have an emotionally retarded, narcissitic, spreader of falsehoods in charge of your country. Listen to your local governors who seem to have a more realistic handle on what is happening.
And - keep calm and keep DXing!
