I first noted the station on 14/10, 1995. The station had recommenced its morning transmission thanks to the new electricity service in the province of Celendín. S/on around 1100 with morning folklore program "Amanecer Andino" with saludos y comunicados. I remember that several years ago, it has temporally operated in the local morning, using the private diesel-generator (5kW) for producing its output power, but it was shortly suspended. When I was there in January this year, I was informed that the electricity supply would be available for 24 hours a day from July 1995. During my stay there, the electricity was only supplied from 1800-2400 hours local time (i.e. 2300-0500UTC), so all SW stations have transmitted only in the evening, except for a tiny FM pirate station "Frecuencia VH FM" (104.1MHz) which has run with car batteries. Canned ID: "Esta es la señal que surca los cielos del Perú y del mundo, Radio Nor Andina desde Celendín, Cajamarca" "Desde Celendín en el Perú, esta es Radio Nor Andina, 1420 en amplitud modulada y 4460 onda corta. Radio Nor Andina, la radio que no tiene frontera." "Celendín, tierra de chalanes y de gente progresista tiene ahora a Radio Nor Andina, por la que se vierte educación, cultura, información y entretenimiento para todo el Perú. Radio Nor Andina en 1420kHz en amplitud modulada y 4460kHz onda corta. Radio Nor Andino para todo el país desde Celendín." Its morning transmission was also observed in Tokyo on 5/11 1104-1140 fade-out. (Source: Takayuki Inoue Nozaki, Japan, 1995) |
