At about 0800 UTC on Saturday, the 4th day of July 2026, I tuned in to Radio Inconfidencia, BRAZIL, broadcasting on 6010 kHz in the Portuguese language.
The station serves Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais and the central portion of the state in Brazil.
This was the first time that I had tuned into Radio Inconfidencia.
The signal was coming from the 5kW transmitter in Belo Horizonte. (Short Wave Info 2024) (Short Wave Sched 2024)

The overall reception of the Radio Inconfidencia was poor. It was very difficult to understand and I could only basically tell when the announcer was speaking and if music was playing.
The broadcast consisted of music and commentary.
