Guyana is a small country on the northern flank of South America, on the Atlantic Ocean. The studios are located near the city of Georgetown, in Vreed en Hoop, at the mouth of the Demerara River. NCN runs three government controlled radio services: Fresh 100.1 FM, Voice of Guyana 560 AM and an 102.1 FM, and Hot FM, 98.1 FM.

On September 26, 2020, the BBC Worldservice was broadcast between 0500z and 0530z via VoG. IDs were heard at the beginning and end of the period.



A Screenshot from SDR Console V.3.0.23. To the left on 558 kHz is RNE from Spain which dominantes the frequency, and most of the time the area around. So, Guyana was a good catch on this September morning. The station was audible up from 0400z first under heavy QRM from Spain .

Antenna was the 78 m Double Delta Loop pointing 325°. Receiver ELAD FDM-S2. And booster RPA-2 from DX-Engineering.

A small but fine opening to Peru I could observe on 11.5.2019 between 0315 and 0400 UTC. Although the signal strength was consistently weak, there were 5 new stations for me.

Excellent propagation conditions on the lower bands brought strong signals in the X-band and below in recent days. In the time around sunrise, around 5 o'clock UTC, it was really fun for a long time to hear Radio Monumental from Quito Ecuador at 1510 kc. But also WPTX from Lexington Park, Maryland at 1690 kc and WGIT Faro de Santidad, Canobas, Puerto Rico at 1660 kc were very well received for some time. Outstanding was also the reception of ZYO701 Radio Roraima from Caracaraí, Brazil at 1390 kc. All logs were made with the K9AY switched to NW.

On 24.10.2018 at 1624z I managed the reception of 5AN, ABC Adelaide on the frequency 891 kHz. The weak signal could only be identified with the help of the webstream. The 50 kW transmitter from the state of South Australia is my first Pacific broadcast on medium wave.

On 26.6. in the morning around 03 UT I was able to record good MW conditions to Peru. Overall, conditions have improved again after weeks of receiving very poor signals from South America. The following stations could be identified perfectly.

All Logs of 26-6-2018 by MW-LIST

The farthest station I've logged on medium wave, over a distance of 12932 km: Radio Belen from Puerto Montt. The 5 kW transmitter from the province of Los Lagos could be received on 25.03.2018 between 01:41 and 02:05 h UT on the frequency 1400 kHz with the ALA 1530 S + Imperium. A short time later took CBG Gander CAN again the frequency.
