SWB: 4722.86 kHz unID Bolivia

Saturday, December 20 2003

The new station on 4722.86 kHz has been identified as Radio Uncia.
Notes Swedish DXer Henrik Klemetz:
4722.86 kHz unID Bolivia "Radio Mejía"(????)

Yesterday I sent information about this station. This unID station was heard at the same time
in Ecuador, Sweden, USA and Brasil.
I do not know the name and QTH of the station but you can listen to a recording of ID at SWB(I´m sending the
recording to Thomas Nilsson/SWB at the same time as this mail).

"....centro de producción radiofónica SEPRA", "....red de participación ciudadana y control social....".
"Radio Mejía(???)....4700 kcs banda de 60 metros....1__,3(???) frecuencia modulada....". "Radio
Regional(???) de.....regional....para construcción de un mundo mrjor....Radio Mejía(???) en su nueva onda
4700 kcs banda de 60 metros onda corta".

Sounds to me as a FM station that has started a new transmitter on shortwave ("/.../en su nueva
onda 4700 kcs...").

Thanks for the audio file, Björn.
The ID is not difficult to locate on the file. It is not particularly garbled either. But it´s hard to
understand. Without a geographic knowledge of the area it´s all but impossible to get. To me it´s Radio
Uncía. Anyone will find it on a decent Bolivian map.
Time will tell if this is it. Checking out Uncía on the web I find that the Potosí Tomás Frías University
opened a local branch in this town the other year. The FM frequency is anybody´s guess, but it ends in .3

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR !

4722.86 kHz unID Bolivia

The station was off 18th, today on air with weak
signal in the morning but much better this evening.
Much talk up to 0100 UTC. Thereafter nonstop music
without talk, just ID "103.5" and close down 0200 UTC
without talk/ID.. I have searched on internet and the
only station I found is:

La Paz: Radio Nuevo Amanecer 105.3 FM (10,000 watts).
Arquidiócesis de La Paz. Av. Armentia esq. Laja 512,
La Paz. Tel: (591 2) 379 034, fax mismo. Padre Armando
Carminati Ferrari, director. Afiliada con EWTN.

Do anyone have information about more FM stations in
Bolivia on 105.3 mHz?
