Henrik Klemetz (Sweden):
"Hi Björn: Sounds like Radio Regional, don´t you think?".

Levi P. Iversen (PY):
"Para mi que dice radio "excepcional" o "ex-nacional" ???? 73's".

Henrik Klemetz (Sweden):
"I do not think it´s Regional nor Cristal. Regional is mentioned at the very end, a nivel regional, and the beginning, just as Levi suggests, it´s Radio Excepcional. An exceptional name it is".

José Elias Diaz (Venezuela):
"En esta grabación yo entiendo que dicen: Este es el programa Amanecer Campesino 100% musica folklorica. Radio Oriental.......la radio que hoy está".

Rubén G. Margenet (Argentina):
"Hola Björn: Yo escucho claramente el nombre del programa: "Amanecer Campesino"". Respecto al nombre de la emisora alcanzo a entender: Radio Regional la radio que hoy está ....(se corta abruptamente el audio). Luego en el slogan final vuelve a mencionar la palabra Regional. En ninguna publicación aparece 2640 Khz ¿No será segunda armónica de la fundamental 1320 Khz?... Un abrazo".

This monday morning I heard an unID Peruvian station on 2640.04 kHz with good strength. Music program called "Amanecer Campesino", some of the music from the Cajamarca area. The ID sounds like "Radio Internacional" - at least the name ends with ".....nal".

*** Saturday Edition;
*** Recording of HJEW Radio Reloj, Cali, Valle de Cauca 1110.00 kHz

I do not remember having an ID for "Caracol" on this ID page. There are many "Radio Reloj" stations in Colombia and often it is very difficult to get a local ID but HJEW is an exception - often local programs with IDs. On this recording you hear the local "big" Caracol ID and the local news program "¿Cómo amaneció Cali?". Radio Reloj is a part of Caracol.

Quito 20/10 2004:

*** Wednesday Edition:
*** Recording of R. Cultural Coatán, San Sebastián 4779.98 kHz

I can not think of any LA country more "super-religious" than Guatemala, I´m thinking of their radio stations. R. Cultural Coatán is a nice station with religious music and talk 90% but sometimes with greetings and other types of music. I spent 6 months in Antígua, Guatemala 1993 and one of my strongest memories is their beautiful, colorful clothes.

*** Thursday Edition:
*** Recording of reactivated Radio Táchira 4829.98 kHz

Eadio Táchira was reactivated this thursday evening, probably because of socker game Venezuela -Ecuador. I think they were playing in San Cristóbal.

*** Recording of Radio Barcelona, Barcelona 1080 kHz (José Elías Diaz)

It´s quite diffícult to hear stations from Venezuela on mediumwave here in Quito. I´m hearing, but just sometimes, these 3 Venezuelan stations: 860 YVOL Mundial 8-60, San Cristóbal, 1190 YVZD R.Dif.Cultural del Táchira, San Cristóbal and YV__ Radio Nacional(Guri or Barcelona).

Quito 12/10 2004:

LV de la Selva, Iquitos, normally on 4824.40 kHz, has serious transmitter problems. I have heard them with very distorted but strong signal 4835-4860 kHz, I hear the station on all frequencys at the same time.

*** Tuesday Edition:
*** Recotrding of Radio Naylamp, Lambayeque 3168.29 kHz


Radio Naylamp with better sound quality on new frequency, normally this irregular station has very distorted signal.

I first thought it was Radio Municipal drifting from 3172.69 kHz but after non-stop Huayno-music without any talk 25 minutes their female DJ gave an ID with jingel: "Radio Naylamp - la diferente".

Naylamp is drifting around on mediumwave, I have logged them around 1575-1585 kHz.

Quito 7/10 2004:

*** Thursday edition:
*** Recording of XERF La Poderosa, Cd.Acuña

To be honest, I thought I was dreaming. Last night around 0400 UTC I was listening to a station on MW 1570 kHz, I stayed on the frequency listening to my great favorite, the Méxican singer Marco Antonio Solís and a few moments later ID for my first Méxicn station logged on mediumwave here in Quito: XERF La Poderosa, Cd.Acuña! An ID with everything, call letters, adress etc.

I have been waiting for this moment here in Quito 7 years. In Sweden I had to wait 30(!) years for my first MW Méxican station.

Quito 4/10 2004:

*** Monday evening edition:
*** Recording of 3449.76 LV de Riobamba

Thunderstorm interference, electrical noise and a DJ microphone with distorted sound, well it´s not easy but this time another DJ, with another microphone, came with the station ID and I was able to do a decent recording of La Voz de Riobamba. The name of the town is San Pedro de Riobamba but normally they are using just "Riobamba".

Riobamba is the capital of Chimborazo Province, in the Chambo River Valley in the Andes Mountains, near the mountain Chimborazo and was completely destroyed by earthquake in 1797.

Further more Riobamba is my wifes birth town and I have spent many months in this charming town(around 100 000 inhabitants). Not charming in every aspect, they have water in their houses just beetween 07-0900, 12-1330 and 19-2030.........
73s Bjorn Malm


3449.76 La Voz de Riobamba, Riobamba(Ecuador). 92kb. 1100 UTC 10/ 2004.
Harmonic from 1150 kHz. Is also on their 2nd harmonic 2299.84 kHz but with weaker signal. 3449.76 has recently been logged by Dave Walko(U.S.A.).

I have been trying hard to hear Riobamba on mediumwave but it´s very difficult and the shortwave station, I think they were on 5010 kHz, "Escuelas Radiofónicas Populares" (E.R.P.E.) was closed a long time ago by the militarys. The only possibility to present a recording seems to be of LV de Riobamba, Radio Central and Radio Calidad - all harmonics from Riobamba mediumwave stations.



Quito 2/10 2004:

*** Saturday Edition:
*** Recording of 1070.00 HCJ5 Radio LV de Tomebamba, Cuenca

The most beautiful city in Ecuador, together with my own home-town Quito, is Cuenca. I have been there just two times, 12 hours with bus from Quito, and it is a great pleasure walking around looking at all old and beautifull buildings.

1070 kHz is of course dominated by HCVP1 R. Libertad, Quito and if the station sometimes is off air 3 Colombian stations are dominating the frequency 90%: HJAH Em. Atlántico, Barranquilla, HJCG R. Santa Fé, SF de Bogotá and HJVR R. Super, Popayán.

Yesterday I was lucky and made a recording of the Ecuadorian station HCJ5 Radio LV de Tomebamba, Cuenca. Libertad off 30 minutes and not a trace of the three Colombian stations.

*** Wednesday edition
*** Recording of HJZD R. Panzenú, Montería 2020.18 kHz

What is difficult with listening to harmonics here in Quito is problems with thunderstorm interference, locl electrical interference, fading and weak signals. Sometimes all these problems at the same time and making a recording is impossible.

Radio Panzenú has been auduble the latest 3-4 days with thunderstorm interference and fair signal so here is the first harmonic recording presented on this ID page for a long time made this wednesday morning.

*** Sunday edition:
*** Recording of Radio Jesús del Gran Poder/Francisco Estéreo, Quito 670 kHz

There are many mediumwave stations that before transmitted also on shortwave. Recently Daniel Camporini presented a recording from 1969 of Radio Chimbote(Peru), Henrik Klemetz presented a recording from 1984 of Radio Cosmopolita, Ambato(Ecuador) and I presented Radio Cosmopolita, Quito(Ecuador). All now off air on shortwave.

This time I have a recording of another Quito station I have not noted on shortwave for many years: HCFF1 Radio Jesús del Gran Poder on 670 kHz. The station was transmitting on 5050 kHz and most of the time relay of their FM station "Francisco Estéreo". Both stations you can find in the church "Iglesia San Francisco" on "Plaza de San Francisco".

*** Recording of HCLD2 R. Ecos de Naranjito

The Italian DXer Walter Comuzzi recently logged the Ecuadorian station HCLD2 Ecos de Naranjito on 1470 kHz, a great catch. During my 7 years here in Quito I have never logged this Naranjito station.

*** Recording of Radio Cosmopolita, Ambato (Henrik Klemetz)
*** Comments from Henrik Klemetz


As Henrik writes: this is gret stuff! I have never heard before of this Ecuadorian station on shortwave. The recording is from 1984, today there is a station listed for Ambato on 1550 kHz called HCEI6 Radio Montalvo. If this is Radio Cosmopolita with new name I do not know.

Thanks Henrik for a very interesting recording! 73s Bjorn Malm.

Henrik Klemetz:
"Arguably the first Radio Cosmopolita on shortwave was a station in Ambato operating on shortwave 6195 kHz and 1550 kHz mediumwave. In 1984, when I was in Ambato, the shortwave operation was already off the air. The station used to carry uninterrupted son and rumba selections between 6 and 7 am, local time, much needed as the mornings were chilly. Announced temperature at 7 am was 8 degrees centigrade. Great stuff but muffled audio".

*** Thursday edition
*** Recording of Radio Cosmopolita, Quito

Some years ago I reported a new Ecuadorian station on shortwave: Radio Cosmopolita, Quito. The station was transmitting just some months on 5900/5905 kHz SSB, heard in the Scandinavian countries.

The biggest indian community in Ecuador is in the "Chimborazo" province with the capital Riobamba, my wifes birthtown. The indian community here in Quito had contact with their friends in Riobamba via a shortwave transmitter on 5900 kHz. The same program on Radio Cosmopolita 960 kHz in Quito, Radio Cosmopolita 5900 kHz in Quito and on a FM transmitter in Riobamba "Chimborazo 98.1". So 5900 kHz was a link beetween Quito and Riobamba.

Radio Cosmopolita 960 kHz is the only station in Quito with indian, Quichua programs. Most of the time religious program with music and greetings.
73s Bjorn Malm

960.10 HCNC1 Radio Cosmopolita, Quito(Ecuador). 166kb. 1030 UTC 09/2004.
If you hear this type of music on 960 kHz you can be almost sure it is Radio Cosmopolita. Not very good soundquality station.

The station came in this friday evening with much better signal strength and this time I heard the DJ saying at every full hour 0000, 0100 and at close down 0200 UTC just one word. Perhaps the name of a FM station or the name of a program.

Listen to this ID(?) between the two songs on my recording.
A very special greeting to Arnaldo Slaen, he will be trying to hear thois unID 4845 tomorrow saturday at a DX Camp in the Buenos Aires area, Argentina. ¡Buena suerte Arnaldo, que te vaya bien! 73s Bjorn Malm


4845.04 unID LA spanish speaking. 113kb. 0100 UTC 3/9 2004.
Good signal strength, good sound quality and perhaps(?) an ID beetween the two songs on this recording.

Radio Macarena reactivated on new frequency:


6090.35 Radio Macarena, Villavicencio(Colombia). 94kb. 2/9 2004.
