Hej!
Välkomna till ett nytt nummer av MV-Eko, det första för säsong 54! Som vanligt hoppas vi på många
bidrag. Vi förväntar oss att varje medlem hör av sig, åtminstone en gång under säsongen!
För ny medlemsavgift, beställning av den nya NRC AM Radio Log, och en intressant DVD från vårt
konvent, se Sekreterar-spalten!
Som framgått tidigare här i MV-Eko, och även vid konventet, har Jan Erik Räf skänkt mycket intressant
material från 50/60-talets mellanvåg till ARC, bl.a. flera nummer av den första svenska mellanvågstidningen "Etersvep" från åren 1953-56. Under den nya säsongen kommer MVE-redaktörerna då och då att
publicera utvalda intressanta delar. Vi vill tacka Jan Erik för dessa historiska dokument och omtanken att ha
sparat detta till eftervärlden.
Solrapport
Solen var påfallande aktiv i april, och det fortsatte den med i maj. I juni har det däremot varit betydligt
lugnare med flux och solfläckar, medan det däremot varit flera omgångar med högt protonflöde, som gav
ett högt A-index.
Värdena för maj och juni blev följande enligt Alvestads solsida: Solar flux: 131,4 resp. 110,1; solfläckstalet
78,7 resp. 52,5; medelvärdet av A-index 9,73 resp. 12,06. Än går det inte att avgöra om det ska bli en andra
topp i nivå med den första.
Lite om innehållet utöver de fasta spalterna
* Läs info via HK om La Voz de las Mayorías, en station som BIH troligen hörde den 9 maj (se oid loggen)
* Flera bilder från ARC/SWB-konventet, Sveriges största DX-träff
* Från JER:s arkiv: Rundradiosändare i Sverige 1962 – mellanvågens storhetstid i landet
Som avslutning några verkligt trevliga QSL:
* Svar från fina KRVN till JOB
* Vår medlem i Julita, LV, avrundar detta Eko med ett förstklassikt QSL; Radio Perla i Honduras!
Som bilaga finner du en deadlinelista för den nya säsongen, spar den!
En Caranavi-station är aktuell i dagens logg – dock inte denna. Logo via FD, tnx

Haddenhem i England. Kördes även på 6260 kHz. MV-sändaren antas ligga i norra
Italien. Kanske även KV-sändaren. Det var nog en pirat, men de svarade snabbt per

0100 ZYJ671 R Caiarí visade det sig vara när HK lyssnat. HK säger: ”Vid sek. hör man
något som liknar Caiarí (ska betonas på sista i, och det är också fallet) och sedan
säger mannen att man börjar med A Mãe Aparecida. Det är rätt tid för att ta fram ett
lokal-ID men den här gången var det kanske en aning för dåligt.”
Tack HK för hjälpen. Tycker att brassarna är ganska svåra att höra ID på. TN

matchen Aurora – Nacional Potosí på Cochabambas stadion Estadio Félix Capriles.
Då jag inte fann någon emailadress så skickade jag min första rapport på flera år med
snailmail. Samtidigt så kontaktades HK som plockade fram fler detaljer och
framförallt så fixade han en kontakt med stationen via Dxaren Rogildo Aragão som
lämpligtvis bor i samma förstad till Cochabamba. Snabbt så fick jag ett emailsvar
från stnen samt ett fint QSL-kort postledes. Stort stort tack Henrik till denna service!

0150 Tent LV de la Mayoria, Caranavi kom igenom och förbi Spanien på frekvensen med
fotbollsreferat av bla matchen Oriente Petroleo (Santa Cruz) och Universitario
(Sucre). Även andra matchers resultat inflikades. Jag skickade för någon dag sedan
min inspelning till Henrik och han återkom snabbt med följande intressanta
uppgifter:
”Spännande inspelning, troligen programmet Radiodeportes, med Gróver
Echavarría et consortes, som servar Radio Patria Nueva med flera, och givetvis kan
man därför inte vänta sig något lokalanrop. Caranavi ligger på låg höjd och
signaler därifrån lär ju propagera åt det här hållet, tänk bara på 1550. Men - och ett
stort men - Caranavi-stationen brändes den 21 maj enligt tillgänglig information. En
verklig osis kan man kanske säga. http://en.rsf.org/bolivia-community-radiodestroyed-in-24-05-2013,44671.html Det finns flera artiklar på spanska också, t ex
http://www.cambio.bo/regiones/20130524/gobierno_convoca_al_dialogo_para_soluc
ionar_el_conflicto_en_caranavi_93021.htm läs stycket längst ner. I notisen
http://www.la-razon.com/ciudades/Enfrentamiento-Caranavi-heridos-destrozosradioemisora_0_1837016379.html och några andra förstår man att stationen

reläade Radio Patria Nueva (=Illimani) och körde egna program då och då. Bilder,
bl a denna: http://www.eldiario.net/noticias/2013/2013_05/nt130523/f_2013-0523_48.jpg Surt, sa räven om rönnbären….”
Ja visst är det så men en rolig logg i varje fall och man kan konstatera att det var en
härlig Boliviarusning denna natt. R Caranavi-1550 gick samtidigt och troligen även
R Sol på 1300 med sina predikningar som hörts fler gånger denna vår. Stort tack
Henrik till informationen du åter vaskat fram från mina inspelningar! BIH

Från e-posten
Bernt-Ivan Holmberg 7.7.2013:
Har inte lyssnat nåt knappt denna sommar på MW men lite roliga fynd har trots allt vaskats fram som synes
i tipsspalten.
Hasse Mattisson 7.7.2013:
Har lyssnat alla mornar - missade dock två under midsommarn - kändes som jag missat en massa!!
Är helt salig med mina ca två mysiga timmar mellan f n ca SST 03 - 05 varje morgon - men det går ju åt
nästan en kanna kaffe förstås!!
Sommarens high light får väl anses vara 1670 Rubí, som sedan upptäckt nära nog får klassas som "pest".
Hasse tillsammans med Bengt vill också framföra ett stort tack till Odd, som videofilmade hela konventet i
våras.
Odd Påg 7.7.2013:
Såg på TV-nyheterna att "Skåne" hade minst antal soltimmar sista tiden. Mitt område var inte nämnt alls,
men vi ligger kanske lågt också, annars brukar vi ligga i toppskiktet här i norra Bohuslän.
När det gäller antalet lyssnartimmar så ligger jag nog i bottenskiktet skulle jag tro, men så har vi just
passerat årets ljusaste dygn med åtföljande sämre möjligheter för MV-DX. Det kan emellertid vara
intressant ändå eftersom ingen annan tid på året är som denna kring midsommar. Men man skall ju orka
med också att sitta uppe mitt i ljusaste natten! I juli har det ännu inte varit någon La Plata-topp här.
Sigvard Andersson 7.7.2013:
Info om säsongssammanställning av NA-loggar:
Under det gångna året gjorde jag uppehåll i sammanställning av NA-säsongerna. För det fortsatta arbetet
behövde jag en lista över svenska NA-loggningar för samtliga år, så jag har nu gjort en sådan lista baserat
på säsongssammanställningarna, dvs. dem som jag har, 1968 fram till 2006. Den är klar, och arbetet med
säsongssammanställningarna har kunnat fortsätta.
Och nu har jag nästa säsong klar, dvs. 2006-07, och den finns på NDL:s hemsida, länk:
http://ndl-dx.se/na-loggen/
Följande säsonger ligger nu där:
1985-86
2003-04
2004-05
2005-06
2006-07 (ny)
2009-10
Om någon tittar igenom listorna och hittar fel, tar jag gärna emot rättelser: sig-a@telia.com /Sigge
Thomas Nilsson 8.7.2013:
Det har blivit ganska lite lyssnat på MV i sommar. De flesta dagar ganska kass. Men en och annan dag har
bjudit på lite speciella konds. Men inte mycket i loggen.

“La Radio en el Perú – Historia de los medios de comunicación en el Perú: Siglo XX”
Written by Emilio Bustamante, published by Fondo Editorial de Universidad de Lima in June 2012. ISBN
978-9972-45-262-8. 740 pages in total. Price: S/.110.This is a book to relate the history of radio stations in Peru from 1925 to 2000. Some data were taken from
OAX (by Alonso Alegría), so not so accurate. In spite of this, highly recommended.
(Tetsuya Hirahara, Radio Nuevo Mundo “El Tiempo Hechicero” June 2013)
Radio Bendita Trinidad, Tarija
Den 26 april invigdes Radio Bendita Trinidad i Tarija. Redan den 5 maj, enligt Eko-loggen, hörde BIH
stationen! Bra jobbat!

Radio Waddenzee goodbye
I flera år har ARC haft ett löfte från Sietse Brouwer, ägare till Radio
Waddenzee, om ett specialprogram för klubben. Tidpunkten för programmet
har flera gånger flyttats fram och nu förefaller det som att sändningen aldrig
blir av. Meddelandet, som kom i mitten av juni, sa att stationens sista sändning
var den 29 juni. Brist på annonser var anledningen. Visserligen fortsätter
Radio Seagull på frekvensen 1602 kHz, men där har klubben inga kontakter.
Trist att ännu en trevlig MV-station försvinner från bandet.
Lovsång till SR:s P1
Så här skriver signaturen “Lisa” i GP den 11 juni:
”Jag har en beroendeproblematik: Program ett. Lag lyssnar när jag städar, lagar mat, går till jobbet… Det
jag får till mig av nyheter, kultur och samhällsdebatt kommer från P1 för att jag är för lat för att läsa långa
artiklar i tidningar. Man kan säga att jag lyssnar på P1 dygnet runt.
Det finns tre undantag: När jag jobbar, när jag sover och när de sänder gudstjänsten på söndagar. Söndagar
mellan elva och tolv slår jag alltså över till P3 och får höra lite ny musik – vilket inte skadar – och lite
småkul prat. Ibland en och annan forskare som pratar om solvindar och sånt.
Det mesta är ju intressantare än gudstjänsten! Men i övrigt är allt från Meny till Filosofiska rummet bra,
Kino, Spanarna, Dokumentärer, Stil, Vetenskapsradions veckomagasin, God morgon världen, Lundströms
bokradio… det vattnas i munnen”! Och allt detta bara finns där för några ynka skattekronor! Man säger att
allt har en baksida, men P1 är i så fall undantaget. Om man bortser från gudstjänsten. Så jag är kanske lite
religiöst lagd ändå – jag dyrkar P1.”

Glad to see renewed activity from Vidin on 576 with 200 kW. According to Ivo Ivanov via Wolfgang's Top
News, these are tests from a new transmitter. With Vidin having been used on 1224 as a platform for
broadcasts to the rest of Europe and with Christo Botev broadcast previously with up to 500 kW, Bulgarian
National Radio has a number of options available to it. With current trends in Europe, perhaps even a trial
for another broadcaster? Definitely one to keep under observation. (Dan Goldfarb, mwmasts yg via DXLD)
This transmitter, officially inaugurated on April 1st and rated 400 kW, is a Thomson S7HP.
http://www.thomson-broadcast.com/news/bulgaria%E2%80%99s-leading-broadcast-service-providerchooses-radio-transmission-system-thomson-broadca
Photos of the transmission facility, opened in 1973 (500 kW transmitters, SV 2+2 antenna for 1224 kHz,
ARRT-257 antenna for 576 kHz), are here: http://www.predavatel.com/bg/9/vidin#rps
Actually it remains a mystery why they choose to reactive 576 kHz, even invest in a new transmitter, after
three years. One could assume that covering Romania and Serbia was in mind, but no audiences for
Bulgarian-language programming exist in these countries.
Btw, already seen the investment ruin at Cape Kaliakra? It was supposed to become the home of 1125 kHz
with 1000 kW through a SV 4+4 system for Radio Moscow services towards the Middle East plus 747 kHz
with 150 kW through a two-mast system for domestic programming. But the station was, unlike the 1323
kHz additions at Wachenbrunn, not completed when the Comecon collapsed and neither Deutsche Welle,
BBC or Voice of America were interested in stepping in: http://www.predavatel.com/bg/6/kavarna#rps
The already delivered 150 kW transmitter has been redirected to Vakarel where one half of it is now
operated on 261 kHz, replacing an older domestic-made rig rated 40 kW only:

1323 BBC Zyygi - The BBC World Service has confirmed that MW transmissions to Israel and other parts
of the Middle East will resume for 10hrs per day on 1323kHz starting on Friday 7 June.
This will give listeners breakfast listening and then drive-time and evening coverage from about 4pm to
10pm. The morning hours are as 02:59:30 to 06:59:30 GMT and the evening schedule will be 12:59:30 –
18:59:30 GMT.
Steve Titherington, World Service Commissioning Editor, says: “We had a huge response to the end of
MW transmissions in Israel and we are responding positively to listeners’ demands for a return to of the
BBC broadcasts. Cutbacks mean we can’t return to a full day-long schedule, but we will broadcast at times
when we hope audiences are most likely to listen. We want to thank our listeners for their feedback and
would welcome any further comment they have about how suitable these new broadcasting times are for
tuning into the BBC World Service.”
As previously announced four hours per day of World Service English will continue on 720kHz until
22:59:30 on 21 June. (BBC Press Office 7.6.2013 via Wolfgang Bueschel, MWDX 10.6.2013)

AFN Europe, in coordination with IMCOM Europe and USAREUR, is turning off its 873 kHz transmitter
in central Germany May 31, as part of the Department of Defense’s ongoing efforts to reduce operating
costs. The transmitter is one of two that serves Wiesbaden Army Airfield. The 873 AM transmitter provides
Power Network programming, a mix of news, talk and political commentary. The second transmitter, 98.7
FM, broadcasts AFN The Eagle, a 24/7 service of contemporary music, community information and top of
the hour news. Wiesbaden area listeners will still get news, traffic, weather and community information
from 98.7 FM. News and talk fans may still listen to two popular Power Network shows, Morning
Newswatch, from 0600-0900 and Afternoon Newswatch from 1600-1880 weekdays on AFN 360: Internet
Radio. AFN decoder owners may tune in Power Network 24 hours a day on their “box.” AFN Europe hopes
to be able to offer Power Network as a 24/7 streaming audio service on AFN 360 sometime in the future.
Some iPhone and Android mobile device users may be able to listen to AFN streaming audio in their car.
The 873 AM transmitter, which is located off post in Weisskirchen, Germany, was singled out for cost
savings because of its isolated location and high-cost upkeep requirements. (AFN website via Marinus

Community Radio Licences advertised ……………………………………………26 June, 2013
Ofcom has advertised the latest areas in the third round of community radio licences, but excluded major towns
and cities in the north from FM stations.
The regulator wants applications from within West and South Yorkshire, Humberside and North West England
but has said there are no FM frequencies available in Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington, Chester, Leeds,
Bradford, Scunthorpe, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham.
Applications for AM station are still invited though.
Places such as Manchester already has a number of community radio stations from the previous two licensing
rounds – with two city centre stations Gaydio and Unity, along with over half a dozen more operating in Greater
Manchester.
Liverpool City on the other hand, has none. Closing date for applications, including a non-refundable £600 are
required by October 15th.

Talksport revenues reduced ……………………………………………………….. 16 May, 2013
“Radio GB” revenues reduced by 7% over the period with decreases of 10% in talkSPORT and 3% in their
Local Radio business compared to a UK radio market which declined by 2%.
The company expects talkSPORT will continue to lag the market due to the impact of
Euro 2012 and they anticipate that total revenue in Quarter 2 (March to June) will be
down 14% compared to the same period in 2012.
It’s a similar story in Ireland too with UTV’s “Radio Ireland” revenues down 10% on a
local currency basis in the first three months of the year, with the company blaming the
on-going volatile market conditions in Ireland.
UTV Media owns and operates seven radio stations in Ireland including U105, FM104, C103 and Q102.

Digital Radio Listening …………………………………………………………….. 16 May, 2013
Twenty-six million people, half the population of the UK are now tuning in to digital radio each week, the latest
figures show. And digital radio listening hours now account for 34.3% of all radio listening, up 17% year on
year.
The biggest commercial digital station this quarter is Absolute 80s with 984,000 listeners, putting Smash Hits in
2nd place with 942,000 and Planet Rock in 3rd place with 896,000. And for the first time ever, DAB accounts
for more than half of all listening to the Absolute Radio network.
Away from digital, 47.3 million adults or 90% of the adult (15+) UK population tuned in to their selected radio
stations in the first Quarter of 2013. This is up by approximately 608,000 adults on the same quarter of the
previous year (Q1, 2012).
Global Radio to sell 7 Radio Stations ………………………………………………21 May, 2013
The Competition Commission (CC) has released the results of its six-month investigation into the takeover of
GMG Radio by Global Radio. The CC has decided that Global Radio must sell radio stations in seven areas of
the UK following its completed acquisition of Real and Smooth Limited.
In its final report published today, the CC has concluded that the merger is likely to lead to higher prices for
advertising in seven areas of the UK, confirming the provisional findings in February.
Global - which owns the Gold stations and LBC on the AM band - will now be required to
sell some of the acquired Real & Smooth stations, or its own stations. : The CC will have to
approve the buyers to ensure they will be viable competitors to Global.
Global will, however, be able to license its brands to the purchasers of any licenses it has to
sell. The stations Global will be required to sell are as follows:
East Midlands: Smooth OR Capital
Cardiff and South Wales: Real OR Capital
sid 13
North Wales: Real OR Heart
Greater Manchester and the North-West: Capital OR Real XS with either Real or Smooth
North-East: Real OR Smooth OR Capital
South and West Yorkshire: Real OR Capital
Central Scotland: Real OR Capital
Global Radio told RadioToday: “Global notes the CC’s report and will now consider the report more fully, and
announce next steps in due course, including entering into a period of discussion with the CC to finalise the
stations that may be disposed.”
It’s been a long year for staff at the company formerly known as GMG Radio but today’s news will see another
wait for information on their job security. (www.radiotoday.co.uk)
Manx Radio Review …………………………………………………………………23 May, 2013
The Select Committee of Tynwald (Manx Parliament) on Public Service Broadcasting has engaged serial radio
report writer John Myers to review Manx Radio. He will spend time on the Isle of Man in July and the outcome
of his work will be incorporated into the Committee’s report to Tynwald.
The former GMG Radio CEO has written reports on the future of local radio in the UK
which was published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in April 2009.
Then in 2011, he reviewed efficiencies at BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, 1Xtra and 6Music.
His most recent report for BBC Management was on the operation of BBC Local Radio, published in February
2012.
The Tynwald resolution of 11th December 2012 is looking to reaffirm its commitment to public service
broadcasting in the Isle of Man. (www.radiotoday.co.uk)
Manx Radio “We’re more like Radio Syria than the BBC” …………………….. 28 May, 2013
Manx Radio has become a state broadcaster rather than a national broadcaster – incapable of determining its own
future. That was the view of Manx Radio chairman David North as he gave evidence to the Tynwald select
committee investigating the future of public service broadcasting in the island.
Mr North and managing director Anthony Pugh argued that further cuts in government funding would
‘fundamentally’ change the nature of the station’s output and the jeopardise the terms of its public service
broadcasting licence. They called for Manx Radio Ltd to be transformed into a not-for-profit organisation
structured along the lines of Welsh language channel S4C and co-funded by the BBC licence
fee.
In a statement read out at the start of the hearing, Mr North said there was one fundamental
question he would like to pose. ‘The question is a quite simple one – is Manx Radio a public
service broadcaster or are we are state broadcaster? ‘In other words are we like the BBC or
are we like Syrian radio, no more than a government mouthpiece? Editorially we’ve always
thought of ourselves as a public service broadcaster but in my opinion, against all the
intentions of Tynwald, regrettably we have become a state broadcaster incapable of
determining our own future by virtue of our structure.’
Mr North described Manx Radio, which marks its 50th anniversary next year, as ‘valuable national asset’ which
was an essential part of the fabric of the island. He said a public service broadcaster should be independent from
government with a ‘robust funding formula’.
But the witness said that the station now received £358,000 less in government subvention while commercial
revenue had also fallen, down 45 per cent taking into account inflation. He said savings had been made by
cutting programming and reducing staff numbers and he believed it was now operating efficiently. But he added:
‘The directors believe further cuts would fundamentally change the nature of the station’s output and jeopardise
the terms of our public broadcasting licence.
Mr Pugh outlined key operational areas where he believed Manx Radio was unable to determine its own future.
He said the station only received notice of the size of the government subvention two to three months before the
start of the financial year and there was no formal process of negotiation with Treasury to ensure there was no
‘lurching from crisis to crisis’.
Mr Pugh explained the company didn’t own the transmitter network and there were no resources for capital
renewal and no long-term infrastructure plans. Finally, he said the company had a £150,000 overdraft and it was
only an annual letter of support from Treasury which gave the auditors to sign off the accounts as a going
concern.
Mr Pugh said Manx Radio Ltd could be transformed into a not for profit organisation ‘exactly how S4C is
structured’. He said this would allow a reduction in government support with extra income from commercial
activities and BBC funding. Why is it so ridiculous to expect the BBC to co-fund Manx Radio?’

Sunrise Radio asks for Listener donations ………………………………………… 1 June, 2013
London Asian station
tation Sunrise Radio has launched an appeal for itself, asking listeners to donate money to keep
the station broadcasting. The station, owned by the Litt
Litt Corporation, announced the
“Listening Contributions” scheme in a news bulletin on Thursday morning.
Sunrise Radio used the BBC as an example saying that if it can be funded by a licence fee
then why couldn’t a commercial radio like Sunrise Radio. Recently, Litt retained the
licence for Slough, when Ofcom cited the Sunrise Radio group’s superior financial
resources as one of the key reasons for leaving the Slough licence with that organisation. www.radiotoday.co.uk
TuneIn has 40million active users ………………………………………………….. 3 June, 2013
Streaming radio service TuneIn has raised $25m of new funding, as its website and apps passed 1bn listening
hours for the first four months of 2013.
The service has more than 40m monthly active users listening to the 70 thousand AM/FM, digital and internet
radio stations whose streams it makes available. It notched up 227m listening sessions in March alone.
Silicon Valley VCs getting excited about radio? That's quite a thought, given the hype – and a fair amount of
justified excitement too – around the emergence of on-demand
on
streaming music
usic services like Spotify and
Deezer, and personal radio services like Pandora and iHeartRadio (in the US, at least).
These things aren't killing traditional radio? No -partly
partly because radio is about more than just music: news, sports,
comedy and other kinds
inds of programme. TuneIn likes to stress its global popularity as
the hook here: helping stations in one part of the world reach audiences in other
parts.
The devices I listen to most radio on have changed: smartphone, laptop and digital
TV rather than, well,
ell, radios. This is the space that TuneIn is looking to fill, even if
here in the UK, the competition provided by the BBC's iPlayer service (74m requests
for radio streams in April alone) makes for a tougher local rival than in other parts of
the world. (www.guardian.co.uk)
Asian AM stations curtail local news ………………………………………………12
……………………………………………… June, 2013
The Avtar Lit-Group
Group has recently applied for changes in the licences for their London medium wave stations and
had them approved by the British regulator. Both sides agreed the proposed removal of local news / local news at
weekends would not drastically change the character of the services and were consistent with Ofcom's local
guidelines for AM stations.
Acknowledging the difficult position of these stations in their markets, Ofcom relaxed format requirements for
medium wave stations. They generally need not produce locally-made
locally made programmes nor broadcast local material,
but these Asian formats still do it for more than half of the day.

Clyde 2 Axe Local DJ’s ………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………4 June, 2013
CLYDE 2 is to axe local DJ’s and replace them with a Scotland-wide
Scotland wide programme. Bauer Radio - the owners of
the station - has decided Robin Galloway, currently Drivetime presenter on Clyde 1, will replace local presenters
in the breakfast slot on Clyde 2 Glasgow; Forth 2 Edinburgh; Northsound 2 Aberdeen; Tay AM Dundee and
Ayr-based West Sound.
Bauer has been increasingly networking its Scottish stations since 2009, which is part of a wider industry trend
for down-the-line national
al or syndicated presenters on local radio. The changes will start on Monday, July 1.
Bauer is styling Clyde 2 and the other four stations as the “Greatest Hits Network”, with networked content
produced in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee.
The company said itss local breakfast shows had "under-performed
"under performed in a competitive market". It added: "We want
to invest in a stand-out
out show that can compete effectively with the likes of Chris Evans on Radio 2 and Good
Morning Scotland on Radio Scotland.
Some critics have argued that professional local radio in Scotland is in decline. They claim the "legacy" stations
owned by Bauer are increasingly becoming Scottish national stations in all but name, while the newer rivals
which have gone on the air in recent
ent years increasingly form part of a UK-wide
UK wide network. Meanwhile, they claim
genuinely local broadcasting is increasingly being provided only by community stations which are often run by
volunteers.(http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/radio

555 ZIZ Basseterre is off per Dave Marthouse on the NRC list: “I have an amateur radio friend who lives
on St Kitts and he informed me a few weeks back that 555 was down. He didn't know what the reason was.
Their FM station is still up.” (via Mark Connelly via ultralightdx)
----Received the following reply from Vere Galloway at ZIZ St. Kitts, confirming that 555 is off the air; "The
tower is corroded. We have to take it down. Should be back up later in the year." (via Bruce Conti via
MWDX)
820 Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) has donated long-time 50.000-watt Caribbean AM radio station
Radio Paradise to Flowing Streams Church in Vero Beach, Florida.
Flowing Streams and its senior pastor, the Rev. Rick Wiles, produce a daily international radio talk show
entitled Trunews, and will use R. Paradise to extend its Christian message throughout the islands of the
Caribbean. R. Paradise, which moved from Dutch St. Maarten to St. Kitts and Nevis in the early 1960’s, has
been owned and operated by TBN since 1992. (www.zizonline.com/news via NRC DX News 80/27)

"ASOCIACION CIVIL NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL VALLE" is the license holder of the OAU4V 1240
kHz station associated to and relaying Radio María. Until recent times the location for this station was
given as "Huancayo" in every publication. But recently it seems the mood has changed and now its location
is given as "Chilca" everywhere. MWLIST shows some coordinates pointing to a coastal Chilca in the Lima
Department. This is wrong. Radio María OAU4V 1240 kHz is in Huancayo. More exactly: The transmitter
site is at North of the city in El Tambo district while the registered address for the studio is at Chilca district
(the southern part of the urban conglomerate). This is in fact the studio address of the FM station licensed
also by the "ASOCIACION CIVIL NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL VALLE" Radio Cumbre or "RC 98.5". If
OAU4V is only a relay of Lima without local programs probably the "studio" address is only a legal
formalism and the station would be a satellite dish plugged to the transmitter in El Tambo district of
Huancayo. In a quick look with Google Earth I have found an antenna mast at lat: 12° 1'44.60"S // long:
75°13'33.94"W, probably the one of OAU4V. (Mauricio Molano)

ANP condena violencia contra radio de Caranavi
El Diario Politica 23 de Mayo de 2013 via HK
(ANF).- La Asociación Nacional de la Prensa (ANP) condenó las acciones violentas que
realizó un grupo de manifestantes en contra de la radio La Voz de las Mayorías, dependiente de
la red estatal Patria Nueva.
Asimismo reprochó las amenazas contra periodistas en la población de Caranavi, a 160 kilómetros
al norte de La Paz.
Dos grupos afines Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) se enfrentaron el lunes en esta región tropical
por el control del municipio. La violencia derivó en la quema de los equipos de transmisión de
radio estatal y amenazas de muerte contra periodistas de diversos medios, quienes cubrían los
hechos.
“La ANP condena las acciones para silenciar a la emisora y reclama a los sectores en conflicto el
respeto a las libertades constitucionales y al trabajo de medios y periodistas”, señala un
comunicado de esta instancia.
La Asociación de la Prensa recuerda que está vigente el derecho a “expresar y difundir libremente
pensamientos u opiniones por cualquier medio de comunicación, de forma oral, escrita o visual,
individual o colectiva”, según el capítulo sobre Derechos Civiles y Políticos de la Constitución
Política del Estado.
De acuerdo con reportes recabados por Fides Caranavi, al menos 31 personas resultaron heridas
producto de los enfrentamientos entre quienes respaldan y quienes rechazan las gestión municipal
de Teodocio Quilca (MAS).
Kommentar från Henrik:
Ovan en bild som gäller en station som BIH troligen hörde den 9 maj. Stationen är La Voz de las
Mayorías 1080 kHz. Men den 21 maj såg den ut så här. Stationen är regeringstrogen, reläar delvis
Radio Patria Nueva, och blev tillsammans med staden Caranavis borgmästare måltavla för motstridiga fackföreningars vrede, så genom att puckla på stationen och förstöra den kände sig
åtminstone den ena falangen ganska nöjd.
