Tx problems for La Hora
4857v 4/4 Radio La Hora, Peru, must have some problems: at 2311 was coming in with talks and music, but disappeared just while I was measuring the frequency at 2314, maybe tx problems. Then, later I observed it, at 0035, on air again with sport live in Spanish, no id but mentioning Radio Nacional. Then off again at 0043 !
