September 1st was quite a special morning. I've only ever logged one Ecuadorian station on medium wave. Radio Sucre from Guayaquil on 700 kHz. I've actually heard this twice, so I am well aware how rare Ecuador is to hear. Then THREE new Ecuadorian stations come along within minutes of each other! Curiously, Radio Sucre wasn't heard at all at the time.

1570 0401 PRU OCU4J Radio Bethel, Lima. OM La palabra de dios, fanfare and religious talk
Weak 10246 km
Some reasonable signals around this morning, but these were the only ones of interest apart from the regulars. 0200 seemed to be better in terms of signal strength. Signals were much weaker by 0400.
Good DX!
