1997-08-10 R Fides 4845 0420-0504 funny to have this at armchair level and the nicest music while editing the DXW when almost all other LA signals exc the few "steady" ones were non present. Not even R Satelite - or has it moved, hi. Long closing procedure with address, phone No.s, etc and to my great disappointment off 0504*(Krone) DXWin 76

1997-06-13 R. Fides ? 9624.93 0128-0208 frantic, hyperactive Spanish soccer coverage by 2 announcers, occasional mentions "Bolivianos"; possible "Radio Fides" mentions 0128, 0134 etc. Due to co-channel CBC No.Quebec, about the only reference that was clear was constant mentions of "la pelota" (the ball)! Oddly, best in USB despite the low growly het w/CBC, due to bad slop from Spain-9620. NOT audible on listed //s 4845 (the Guatamalan as usual) or 6155 (buried under severe local electrical noise; only a weak carrier detectable). Signal deterioriated after 0150; seemed to be gone completely by 0230 recheck (game overr?). Listed s/off 0300. SINP 32432 at best. (Stewart June 13) Cumbre 143

1997-02-03 Radio Fides 6155 1047-1121 w/ "Visperas de Asuncion" by Savia Andina at tune-in. Then YL talk in presumed Aymara w/ several possible mentions of Fides. TC in Sp. At 1055 a Sp ad, seemed to be for a banco, but very low audio level. Then OK again with anmts about Bolivian politics, then another ad w/ low audio. Maybe a bad cart machine? "En Bolivia..." TC at top of hour, greetings from the capital of La Paz, and then nx rpts by phone from around country. Fair signal, best in USB. (Some years ago, Savia Andina was one of the first modern groups - and the most prominent - to popularize traditional Bolivian folk music with the young people in the cities & bring it some international attention. Savia Andina's Eddy Navia, one of the best charango players of all time, is now part of the US-based Andean group Sukay. Some Savia Andina CDs are available from Sukay Records; 3315 Sacramento Street, Suite 523; San Francisco, CA; 94118. It's all great stuff, especially the "Classics" album. Sukay used to be on the web, but I haven't checked it for a long time.)(Moore Feb 3) Cumbre 124
