This posting, dated Mar 25, 2002, does not
contain any indication of frequency.
In a subsequent report on DSWCI DX Window, Mar
27, this cable is being related to
"6233/6260v". I believe this is inaccurate.
The only report - and there were many at the
time - specifying a frequency of operation was the
one
posted on the Caracol website where mention was made of "transmission equipment
for 660 AM".
This item can be seen at
No report has said that the MW channel actually was
in operation, and Rafael Rodríguez says he
did not hear them
on this channel or any other one on MW.
However, in regard to their SW operation, he recalls reports
saying that the Voz de la Resistencia SW transmitter was seized, together with other equipment, firearms and
dynamite, in a private
house located in the area of San Juanito,
Meta. He believes this happened late Nov 2001.
In the former 42,000 sq km free zone Voz de la
Resistencia (N.B. the correct slogan, without the article
"la") operated on 95.9. From an independent news report quoted in http://www.worldofradio.com/dxld2053.txt
one is
led to believe that their 1000-2400 had other
relays in the area. The main studio referred to in the Caracol report was in a place called Vistahermosa. A color
picture showing the entrance to the rustic studio building was published
the El Espectador newspaper on Jan 7,
2001.
