Acc to a previous report of Henrik Klemetz in his "Dateline Bogotá" dated 24/4/95, he first noted the resumption of the SW outlet on 13/4/95. He reported that the ID did not always sound as it should, and it seemed to be something like "Radio Acari" on two counts. I learned at my visit on 11/10/95 the reason why he didn't get the ID of R Ayaviri at that time. R Ayaviri has not broadcast its proper programs for lack of personnel since its reactivation, so the SW outlet is totally utilized to transmit another station's programs. Radio "A" ("A" is naturally the initial letter of "Ayaviri"), a new FM station which commenced the broadcasting operation in November 1990, and it broadcasts on 101.5MHz using a monaural FM transmitter (0.1kW) which was made by Hugo Solosano Cornejo in Arequipa. The FM station is operated *1000-0300* daily, and the SW transmission is currently scheduled at *1000-1500* and *2100-0300*. The SW outlet is equipped with "Petrick" brand transmitter (1kW) & 1/2 wavelength duple-dipole antenna (16m high). Corina Llaiqui Ochoa, wife of station owner said that R Ayaviri would broadcast with proper independent programming in the near future. Traditional ID: "Desde la provincia Melgar, Ayaviri, en el departamento de Puno, capital del folklore peruano, transmite Radio Ayaviri, La Voz del Melgar. 1500kc onda media y 5035kc onda corta." According to the MIT list (1995), Radio Ayaviri has never been licensed to broadcast on MW/FM. The SW outlet is officially licensed to transmit on 5035 kHz with call sign OBX7F, but it has been on 4606.5 kHz since many years. (Source: Takayuki Inoue Nozaki, Japan, 1995) |
