Ham radio is the most charming, interesting, and self-rewarding hobby one can have, but I don't forget my BCL and SWL roots. Listening is the key of everything, also when you're in ham bands. So, last tuesday night, when friend Leo Bolli (you should check his "Taccuino DX") warned me with a text message that Radio Transmundial from Santa Maria-Camobi, Brazil was making it to Italy, I gladly gave it a try. 11735 kHz at 20.56 UTC of 19th July 2011 was, in fact, alive with signals from South-America, even if in my location, far from the sea and surrounded by mountains, it was not that strong. However, Transmundial is not an every night one, so I recorded a bit, and, as always, it's a pleasure to share it on these pages. Receiver was the Icom R71, and the antenna my new ham built Fishing rod.
