Loggings April 1

 The evening of April 1st was a fairly good one, given the current conditions, to hear continental American stations.

The highlight was Radio Morena from Guayaquil in Ecuador on 640 kHz with barely a sign of KFI in Los Angeles - normally the dominant station.

Reports have gone out to Radio Morena and Uniminuto Radio 1580 in Bogotá Colombia.
