1995-10-18 Radio Lajas 5498 0050-0225 Weak w/ folk mx - some really nice flutes, time checks, comunicados. Mentions of Lajas at 0157, 0210 and IDs at 0216, 0222. Switched to tropical mx at 0200. As Rich McVicar pointed out, Lajas is just west of Chota. In fact, it is on the road leading west and north out of Chota to Chiclayo, with a branch going to Cutervo. I remember passing through the town in 1985, standing in the back of a wooden frieght truck on our way back to Chota from Cutervo. We crested a hill and Lajas was spread out before us at the bottom of the hill. It was a beautiful view, but unfortunately we didn't have the camera out. It wasn't that large of a place - maybe a quarter of the size of Chota or Cutervo. It's only a few miles from Chota, so all the commercial growth probably goes there. (Moore) Jihad 56
1995-10-03 R. Lajas 5498 0210-0257 Pgm of lively LA Pop mx w/occas. anmnts by live M after abt every 2 or 3 songs. Many many TCs, what appeared to be song anmnts. Only one canned anmnt by W at 0237. ID at 0245, ment of Lajas at 0248. Still going at 0257. Very weak and lucky to get ID. (Valko 10/3) Jihad 53

1995-09-04 Radio Lajas 5498.1 0232-0355 w/program of mostly Peruvian huaynos, a number of Ecuadorian pasillos. OM anncr gave TCs and IDs giving fqy as 5500 kHz. Address was given during a request to hear from listeners. It could have been Jiron Recinto Manuel, but this is a guess. The number was definitely 589. The town is Lajas, just west of Chota in Chota province in Cajamarca Depto. Sign off saying they would be back at 7 tomorrow night. Closed with a band melody, not the national anthem.
