I visited Radio Quito a month ago and the manager of the station told they
intend to keep the shortwave running still for years, but this of course
depends somewhat on the maintenance of the transmitter which is pretty
old. According to him running the sw doesn't cost too much and they do
have a sw audience also within Ecuador, but should there be a bigger
failure, no one knows what then.

Hopefully this is only temporary.

The station will celebrate its 60th anniversary on 18th of August this
year.
