Has any ham or shortwave listener out there picked up broadcasts from
Radio Venceremos, the radio of the rebels in El Salvador?
If so, time and frequency information would be greatly appeciated.

I tried to "Reply" to this message asking about Radio Venceremos, but
the system told me it didn't like the address AFTER I had typed the
text! (As someone who has been using ARPANET electronic mail for 6
years now, tI have troble accepting such system behavior with good
grace...it didn't even seem to save my text anywhere! Sloppy design...)

Anyway, here's the data:

Glenn Hauser's DX News segment on Radio Canada International's Shortwave
Listener's Digest reported the following recent data on Radio Venceremos:

Heard on two parallel frequencies varying over the ranges 6850-6853 kHz
and 6950-6953 kHz during the time range 0050-0249 GMT (one report was
for 0050-0149, and the other for 0249 alone).

Varying frequencies to avoid music jammers mainly on 6850 and 6955 kHz.

73's and good DX!
