Date Station Freq Time Comments Source
1997-01-12 R. San Juan 4000.5 1057 Man in Spanish, then romantic Andean vocal. At 1059, segued to another number, faded down for brief announcement that included "en Radio San Juan," then continued with song. Surprisingly nice signal amid steady barrage of QRN. (Hill, Jan. 12) DXWin 47

1996-11-24 R San Juan 4000.4 1100 now signs off around 1100, when concluding the "La V de la Amistad" block of rlg progr. The "Fortaleza peruana" prgr starting at 1100 will be moved to another stn, manager of APROBA record company tells me. R San Juan can't make ends meet financially. They are slow to pay their electricity bills, he says, that's why he feels he shall have to pick another stn for their promotional prgr. (Klemetz/Dateline Bogota) DXWin 41
1996-10-01 R. San Juan 4000.49 1006-1019 finally canned R. San Juan s/on ID by excited-sounding M. 1007-1016 LA Pop mx. 1016 canned pgm intro by W, then into usual daily morning rel. pgm w/M host. Very happy to finally get an ID on this. Low modulation is always the problem. Is this morning rel. pgm called LV de Amistad?? (Valko, Oct 1) Cumbre 106

1996-07-24 R. San Juan 4000 QSL Nice letter and cassette with interesting huaylas and huaynos received from Miguel Bacillo A., whose record company APROBA, sponsors the "Fortaleza Peruana" program on this station. The letter confirms that "La Voz de la Amistad" is a block of religious programs. At 0617 on 23 June the announcer mentioned a shift in frequency to help reception in Canada and Germany.

1996-05-25 R. San Juan ? 4000.5 0358-0445 33333 Program "Compartiendo La Amistad", this program is transmitted every Saturday. Music Program, "Mundo Celular". Although no ID is given, the majority of the program talks about Radio San Juan de Trujillo. Later at 0438 there is a lot of noise and difficult to copy. NOTE: I can't confirm yet that this is the city but some details during the program refer to Lima. I will stay tuned to them for further information. (Arruantequi May 25 DX Window translated by Fleming Cumbre DX); Rich McVicar first IDed this one in July 95 as La Voz de la Amistad in Trujillo, Peru. By September, Rich had figured out that this was an intentional shortwave operation as the station announced that they were on 75 meters (their MW frequency is nominal 1450). Rich noted them as early as 1118 and signing off as late as 0517. Willi Passmann reminded us that this should not be confused with the Ecuadorian harmonic, LV de su Amigo from Esmeraldes that is on 4019 (3 x 1340v). In March 96 John Wilkins in Numero Uno reported hearing mentions of Radio San Juan de Trujillo. John believed that this was the same station as La Voz de la Amistad as they were both coming from Trujillo. I hope this helps our Spanish-speaking Dxers in getting to the bottom of this one.

1996-03-17 R San Juan 4000 0200 with a music request program until 0700 local time, "Fortaleza Peruana", so presumably Peru. That is followed by religious programming like "Louis Palau" or "La Voz de Esperanza", plus transcripts from La Voz de los Andes. QTH may be Cochabamba, Fortaleza or San Juan. Gives UTC-5h. During our evenings I have heard only religious programming and a few commercials (for firms in Cochabamba?) (Malm, Ecuador in SWB) DXWin 4
1996-03-03 R. San Juan ? 4000 0425 with tropical mx. Religious prgmng at 0435, light vocal mx and talk by a man at 0450, ID and s/off at 0517. "R. San Juan en Trujillo es la radio . . . en Trujillo informa . . . escucha emisora Radio San Juan. . . Peruana." Probably the same as LV de la Amistad rptd McVicar, both stns in Trujillo.

1996-01-10 R Amistad 4000.1 1050 vocal music, 1059 ID and religious programming after 1100. (Wilkner, Fla., Jan. 10, via Johnson) Nice catch; first North American log I've seen of this one. (Johnson) Cumbre 70
1995-09-26 La Voz de la Amistad 4000.1 0310 Trujillo; w/IDs mentioning 75 meters, shortwave, so this fqy must be intentional after all. fr-good Sept.26 (McVicar) Jihad 52
1995-08-26 LV de la Amistad ? 4000.1 1148 Trujillo; still here some mornings and evenings, sometimes w/vgd signals. 1148 UTC in SS with OM giving sermon. Aug.26 (McVicar) Jihad 48
1995-07-09 La Voz de la Amistad 4000.1 0324-0510 (Trujillo) Program of light contemporary music, OM w/TCs in between songs, echo IDs giving MW fqy of 1450. No mention of any SW fqy. At 0400, sounded like a taped program w/familiar sounding anncrs-maybe from R.Netherlands; 0414-clear ID as "La Voz de laAmistad" with "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder" in the background, Bible reading, contemporary Christian music, address. At 0453-ID mentioning Trujillo, Peru, phone number; song; echo ID by YL at 0504, echo ID by OM at 0505 over flute; OM at 0506, then open carrier. Pulled plug at 0510. vpr-fr at best w/slow fades. Not a harmonic as nominal fqy is 1450 kHz. Don't know if this is a transmitter spur or if a transmitter problem has put them way off fqy. or if this is an intentional SW broadcast. July 9. Also heard July 11 at 0340 with fr-good signals and the next morning on 4000.1 kHz at 1118 UTC with good signals. (McVicar) Jihad 41
