Peru: Radio La Amistad new on 5176.5

Sunday, July 13 2003

5176.51, Radio La Amistad, possible QTH - Tayabamba, la provincia de
Pataz, el departamento de La Libertad. June 23 2003 - 1120 UT. Started
Monday morning June 23 at about 06 local time in Quito and clearly
stated it was a new station. IDs: "Radio La Amistad, la nueva radio al
servício..." and  "Radio La Amistad está transmitiendo desde la
población de Tayabamba, capital provincial de (Pataz??)". Said they
transmit on FM and SW. The only geographic name I clearly hear is "La
província de Bolívar" and an uncertain "Tayabamba". Both places are
located in dpto "La Libertad". The fact that the station was heard
well a whole hour after local sunrise here in Quito indicates a
northern QTH, for instance "La Libertad". Very hard to hear the QTH
100% as the male DJ uses a mike of inferior quality. Listen to a
recording from this occasion: http://homepage.sverige.net/~a-0901/
