Cumbre DX Press Release  May 20, 2000

DXers team up to help keep a second station on the air- this time in Boliva!

Earlier this week, Cumbre DX sent a shipment of parts to keep Radio
Gaalkacyo, Somalia, on the air.

Now DXers Bill Smith and Marcelo Toniolo dos Anjos have teamed up to
keep Radio Mamore, Bolivia, on the air!

According to Walt Fair, Radio Mamore has a serviceable 500 watt
transmitter, but they are on their last 813 transmitting tubes and even
those are on low output because they are failing.

Bill has just obtained the 813 tubes and Marcelo has agreed to help with
the shipping.

Radio Mamore is located in Guayaramerin on the Amazon area border with
Brazil.   They operate from 1000-1700 and 2100-0200Z.  This station was last
reported by Rodildo Fontenelle A. Dec. 26, 1999 on 4802v.  The <500 watt
station has apparently never been reported in North America, but has
received reports from European DXers.  QSLs reports may go to: Radio Mamore
~~
Director Beni y Mamore ~ Guayaramerin ~ Beni ~ Bolivia.  Reports from DXers
are welcome.  Thanks to Walt for the backgrounder on the station.

Other stations can use DXers help.  If you or your organization are
interested,
please contact me.
