*** Friday edition:
*** Recording of 4498.12 Radio Estambul, Depto Beni (Bolivia)
Must be a new Bolivian station but you are welcome to correct me if I´m wrong. Some weeks ago I reported to the mailing lists an unID station on 4498.12 kHz with 100% méxican music and
I presumed it was some harmonic from 1500 kHz. But I was totally wrong. This friday night I first made a recording of Radio Ecos (Bolivia) on 4409.79 kHz, I have never heard them stronger. Some
minutes later I was listening to the station on 4498.12 kHz and was very lucky to get an ID: Radio Estambul. I´m not 100% sure of the stations QTH. "Estambul" is a city but what I´m
asking is if "Estambul" also could be a part of the city "Guayaramerín"? The DJ says they are transmitting on 4496 kHz.

"Located in the Loreto region, Iquitos is the largest city in the jungle of Peru, with a population of about 400,000. Located on the Amazon River, it is just 100 meters above sea level even though
it is more than 3,000 kilometers from the mouth of the Amazon on the Atlantic Ocean. Iquitos has long been a major port in the Amazon basin. It is surrounded by three rivers: the Nanay, the Itaya,
and the Amazon. The city is generally considered the largest in the world that cannot be reached by road, only by airplane or boat. Most travel within the city itself is via motorcycle or mototaxi
(auto rickshaw). Transportation to nearby towns often requires a river trip via llevo-llevo, a small public boat. The climate is hot and humid, with an average relative humidity of 85%. The wet
season lasts from around November to May, with the river reaching its highest point in May. The river is at its lowest in October".

I have now talked to the owner of Radio Chaskis Señor Chaquiguango Cotacachi Luis. We had a very nice conversation and this is what he told me:
He has been working in the radio buisness for 12 years and is also owner of the mediumwave station Chaskis del Norte, Ibarra on 950 kHz. Note that the name of the two stations is "Chaskis" and not
"Chasquis" (both WRTH and the official Ecuadorian list have this name). The station has nothing to do with Radio Bahái, Otavalo(active on MW but inactive on SW).
Radio Chaskis now has a period of test transmissions and is very interesed in receiving reception reports to:

New Ecuadorian station with test transmissions, started yesterday. I have a very good recording with telephone number. Tomorrow II will, hopefully, talk to the station and of course present the
recording on my ID-site."Imbabura" is a province and I will check exactly from where they are transmitting
R. Bahá’í, Otavalo on 4950 kHz has been inactive for many years, perhaps they have sold transmitter/licence to Radio Chasqui? Also Otavalo is located in the province of
Imbabura.

No recording this edition but some comments from Henrik, Alfredo and Christer. Thanks to all of you for helping me with this ID site. 73s Bjorn Malm
Bjorn Malm: First a correction: 10/4 2005 I presented a recording of 1500.11 Radio Reloj, Moniquirá (Colombia). I said "Radio Reloj"
is a new name for listed(WRTH 2004) Ecos del Ricaurte, Moniquirá. this is not correct. 1995, the last year Henrik Klemetz was WRTH South American editor, this "new" name Radio Reloj already
was there.
Henrik Klemetz, Sweden: "New name? No, not quite. Was listed as R Reloj in WRTH 1995, which was the last edition where a large chunk of the Colombian info was double-checked and
triple-checked as a result of actual listening and visits. Ecos del Ricaurte seems to be their old company name. And as such, the station surfaced in 1987; entry changed into R Reloj in 1991. I do
not know when the entry was changed again. See this for more info:

Bjorn Malm: 11/4 2005, yesterday, I presented a recording of unID LA on 4909.27 kHz. Christer Brunstrom, Sweden says in a mail that the ID
in "Quechua" on my recording sounds like "Radio Chasqui". My Ecuadorian wife has been studying Quechua 3 years during her university studies but it´s a long time ago and today she does not
remember much! Alfredo Cañote has asked a friend to listen to my recording and he agree with Christer Brunstrom and myself that the name of the station is "Radio Chasqui". But there is no QTH
on my recording.
Alfredo Cañote, Perú: "Hola Bjorn! saludos desde Chaclacayo! te cuento lo siguiente...: le hice escuchar a una persona la cual domina el quechua al 100 % y me dijo que el
locutor dice RADIO CHASQUI..., lo que faltaria es determinar es el QTH... Conon respecto a como se dice CUZCO en quechua...: CUZCO es la palabra castellanizada de Q´osqo foneticamente seria

further down the main road leading to Cali".

station Radio Tupi, Curitiba, also known as "Sistema Universo de Radio", but many transmitters relay their programs, it is the case also of R. Victoria. Greetings!".

*** Recording of 6020.29 Brasilian station, Sao Paulo(Radio Victoria, Lima)
I have seen some reports of an unID Brasilian station on 6020 kHz but here in Quito without any trace. First I thought it could be some confusion with Radio Victoria and their Brasilian preachers
with spanish/brasilian accent.
I now have exactly what I was looking for: recording of Radio Victoria with relay transmission of a Brasilian station in the Sao Paulo area. This is brasilian portugues and there is an ID for a
station in the Sao Paulo area - perhaps not a local ID but ID for some "red".
What I heard was a program from the church "Igreja Pentecostal Deus é Amor", Sao Paulo. Anyone knows the name of this Brasilian station?

*** Recording of 4949.96 R. Madre de Dios, Puerto Maldonado
I first thought it was a new station with name "I.D.L. Radio" but after listening a while I heard the recorded ID "Radio Madre de Dios". This station has been for several years on the same split
4950.16 +- 1 Hz so I ws not at first thinking of them.
The swedish DXer Gert Nilsson was listening to "I.D.L. Radio" the same evening as I did. He, and Glenn Hauser, was close but Henrik Klemetz was closer! Thanks all for replies.
So listen to Radio Madre de Dios with a program called "I.D.L. Radio" from El Instituto de Defensa Legal.

Henrik Klemetz, Sweden:
Country: Peru
Name of program: Ideeleradio, or Ideele Radio. see:
http://www.ideeleradio.org.pe
The program is produced in Lima. Under "Red Nacional" a lot of relaying stations are mentioned. Puerto Maldonado on the move?".
Glenn Hauser, U.S.A.:
"Bjoern, I`m not so sure the third letter is L, but the reference to the 15 February Ley seems to refer to Peru, as this item was in Con Dig for Feb 19:
http://www.elcomercioperu.com.pe/EdicionImpresa/Html/2005-02-16/impPolitica0260188.html
So likely R. Madre de Dios relaying something or with a new name. 73".
Gert Nilsson, Sweden:
"It was heard with very good strength also by myself here in Sweden when they started some religious program at 2300 UTC. However I did not realize this was a new station. I just wrote Madre de
Dios? in my log....... Quite a mistake!".

One of the most difficult Bolivian stations to hear here in Quito is 6054.28 Radio Juan XXIII. Is there sometimes but with very weak signal and heavy QRM from nearby channels. Some days ago I at
last had the station with a little bit stronger signal and of course I made a recording. My favorite singer Marco Antonio Solís and a "Radio Juan XXIII," ID, a great early morning 1040

*** Recording of Radio Sallique, Cajamarca, Jaén, Sallique (Perú)
With this short audioclip I want to close down this long time problem "6329.11 kHz unID Peruvian". The name of the station is Radio Sallique transmitting from Deparamento Cajamarca, Provincia
Jaén, Distrito Sallique. The station is transmitting very irregular and the sound quality is not very good but has been active the last 4-5 days with close down around 0130 UTC. The recording
is from this evening thursday. Note: this is my personal opinion, if you do not agree - tell me!
Thanks to Alfredo Cañote, Henrik Klemetz and Rafael Rodriguez for help.

6134.80 Radio Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia). 03/2005.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, commonly known as simply Santa Cruz, is the second largest city in the Republic of Bolivia with a population of roughly one million residents. It is also the capital city of
the Department of Santa Cruz. Located in the eastern part of the country at 416m above sea level, the city, though usually warm, experiences chill winds that blow from the Argentine pampas called
surazos.
Santa Cruz is connected by railway to Argentina and Brazil, and connected by a road built in the 1950s to Trinidad, Cochabamba and the Chaco badlands. It is also the home of Viru Viru International
Airport, one of the largest airports in Bolivia.
As the city was fairly isolated until the early 20th century, Santa Cruz has much colonial architecture, including a 16th century cathedral and numerous Jesuit missions, and a World Heritage listed
Inca fortress called El Fuerte de Samaipata.
