A nice-looking but rather vaguely worded multicolour e-mail diploma (80.5
kB)
has been received from Rolando Cueto of Católica Televisión, in
Potosí, founder
of R Yura (4716.8). His e-mail address is canal18@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
but postal delivery seems to be working OK, too. Just be sure to write the
address as
Radio Yura,
Yura, Provincia Quijarro,
Departamento de Potosí,
Bolivia
The station seems interested in listeners letters judging by a
programme my
friend Rafael Rodríguez, in Colombia, heard last weekend. By courtesy of
Rafael,
here is a slightly edited version of his original report:
R Yura was heard Sunday morning with a programme called
"Yura ayer y hoy" where it was said that the town of Yura dates from
the Spanish colonial era. In this town silver from neighbouring mines
was
stockpiled before its shipment to Spain. Present-day Yura has
electricity
and drinking water facilities around the clock, and there is telephone
availability through a local telephone station. To reach the town, there is
a daily bus service from Potosí. The population is very friendly, but there
are no hotels. Instead, tourists may ask local families for a night´s
lodging
or two. The programme was dedicated to listeners in Europe and Asia
who had written in. They did not give any names though. "Yura ayer y hoy" is aired every Saturday at 8 pm local time, UTC Sunday 0000.
