for more than one year, if LVS La Voz de la Selva, Iquitos (Perú) is off the signal from Sicuani is too weak, thunderstorm interference, utility interference, a Jumbo-Jet is taking off every 1
minute (the runway is very close to my radioshack) etc etc etc.........., but here is at last my first recording of Radio Sicuani.

I asked more than one year ago (see "Archive" 14/4 and 16/4 2004) i f the name of HJEN really is Radio Fabulosa (listed WRTH 2004 is HJEN R. Fabulosa, Cali). I had
not any proof that the name was "Radio Armonia" but if you listen to my new recording and read information from "Ministerio

Radio Mallku 4796.47 (Dave Valko, Dunlo PA)
I have received three very good recordings of Bolivian stations from a QTH in Dunlo, Pennsylvania on the eastern cost of the USA made byDave Walko. Dunlo is located not very far from New York and
the weathr conditions in his QTH is very similar with my own ex-QTH Lysekil on the Swedish west coast. It´s a very special feeling listening to LA stations with 1 meter snow and 15 degrees
below zero outside the radioshack window!
I asked if he somtimes is listening to mediumwave stations:
Dave: "I listen to mediumwave occasionally, whenever conditions are interesting. Unfortunately my 2 home-built (passive and active) loop antennas
are upstairs in the attic!! I've been thinking about bringing them down and using them again. Mexican stations are very difficult here. I wouldn't consider myself an active mediumwave DXer, but from
my personal experience, Mexicans are difficult. Living on the eastern seaboard, we have many many stations crowding the bands. QRM is very high!!"
Thank you very much for your recordings Dave! 73s Bjorn Malm
See photo of Dave Walko on one of his "Micro-DXpeditions" here!
Dave: "As for my micro-DXpeditions (called "micro" because the preparation is very quick and they don't last as long as regular DXpeditions); I
drive to several locations nearby to escape the local noise. I'll take along the NRD-535D and operate it from a rechargeable "Power Tank" battery or marine battery. I also use a portable Sony or
Sharp minidisc recorder or Marantz tape recorder".

I first noted this "Radio Libertad" with unknown QTH in july 2004 and I have been trying a long time to get the QTH. I have the last week been sure that the station is transmitting from the
"Lambayeque region": starts every morning around 1000 UTC mentioning the department of Lambayeque and the stations female owner. Perhaps some conection beetween this Radio Libertad and R. Libertad
stations in nearby regions "Cajamarca Region" ( 890 OCY2N R. Libertad, Cajamarca) and "La Libertad Region" (1160 OAX2C R. Libertad, Trujillo).
I´m now sure of the stations QTH: Chiclayo. Is not listed in WRTH I think(?).

radio de La Gran Comisión".
I have received some very nice mails from Alberto Merino, Cali (Colombia), he is not a DXer but is very interested in lisening to mediumwave stations during his many hours trvelling in Colombia. So
I asked him about HJLT 1550 kHz, he says that the name is not "Bohemia" and that the station is transmirring with low power for the moment with close down 0500 UTC:
Alberto Merino: "De la estacion 1550 Bohemia, te comento que estoy aterrado ya que esa estacion es de baja potencia y no me explico como la
escuchan alla, pero lo que si te puedo decir es que esa esmisora ya no se llama "Bohemia", es decaracter cristiana y tranmite hasta las doce de la noche".

QTH-Info:
"Otavalo, two hours north of Quito on the Panamerican highway, is a small town of about 50,000 inhabitants and home to the famous Otavalo Indians. It lies at 2,530 meters in a spring-like valley,
situated between the Imbabura volcano (4,609 meters) and the Cotacachi volcano (4,939 meters). The people of Otavalo possess an excellent work ethic and it shows! There is now a handicraft market
everyday. The Saturday market is the largest and most famous market in Ecuador and there you'll find virtually every handicraft being produced in the country. However, many travelers prefer the
somewhat quieter market on Wednesday or the daily market. In the many surrounding Indian villages, including Peguche, Illuman, Agato, San Roque and Carabuela one may visit the workshops of local
weavers working on backstrap and Spanish treadle looms, as well as other artisans at work making felt hats, knitting sweaters or weaving straw mats. One may tour the many lakes in the province: San
Pablo Lake, the largest, which is surrounded by many Indian communities, and offers lovely boat cruises; Cuicocha Lake, a half-hour from Otavalo, with its deep blue waters; the Mojanda Lakes, an
impressive and unspoiled natural setting where condors have been seen; and the famous Yaguarcocha Lake, called the "lake of blood" because of the famous Inca battles fought there, located near the
colonial city of Ibarra. You may also shop for leather crafts in the town of Cotacachi, for woodcarvings".

This recording is the "hard-proof". Henrik Klemetz has said, via a friend in Bolivia, that a man called "Yamal" has started a radiostation in Guayaramerín. On one of my recordings there is
ad/prom for "Radiocomunicación Yamal". Perhaps the name of the company thats own Radio Estambul? Thanks to Henrik Klemetz for help. Thanks also to Jan-Erik Osterholm for his comments.

*** Recording of 1240.14 Radio Sechura, Sechura (Perú)
I have been working the last week with an unID Peruvian on 1240.14 kHz. Friday evening at close down 2335 UTC I I finally got the ID: "Radio Sechura". Every morning the station has a program called
"La Voz Comunal", often with talk about "pescadores" (fisherman) so I thought it must be a station on the Peruvian coast.
The real name of my hometown Quito is "San Francisco de Quito" and the DJ on my recording is using the name "San Martín de Sechura", perhaps the real name for the town "Sechura". Sechura is a
town of fisherman located in the southwestern end of the Piura region. Sechura was created as province, the capital of this province has the same name, as late as 23 of December 1993. The main
tourist atraction is the temple "San Martín de Tours". This is not a very good quality recording but it is for me a first-time-logging.

*** Recording of 1140.00 Chami Radio, Otuzco
I have been listening for the last week to an unID Peruvian station on 1140 kHz. Many ads from Trujillo and some from Otuzco. Greetings to persons living in both these towns. Is not listed in WRTH
2004 so perhaps a new station. Before I have had nothing from Perú on 1140. The sound is a little bit distorted. Close down 0300 UTC.
Otuzco is located in the department of "La Libertad" 30-40 kms northeast from the city "Trujillo. Jingel "Señal de Libertad".

Rwactivated 1st of nay. Is listed as "La Voz de Chiriaco" but the ID I heard was "Radio Chiriaco". Chiriaco is the capital of district Imaza in the province of Bagua (Amazonas).
I could not find any QTH picture this time. Instead a photo from my (ex-) home town in Sweden: "Lysekil" located on the west coast of Sweden with a population of around 15.000. Also (ex-) home town
of a good friend of mine, the well known swedish DXer Christer Brunstrom.
