[HCDX] URG 6055 Radio Universo, Castillos, Rocha says they are active.

["Horacio A. Nigro" <hanigro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

URUGUAY 6055 Radio Universo, Castillos, Dept. de Rocha. 
According to an email reply from station owner Juan Brañas 
(pron: [Bragnas]), they are already on the air with an xter 
of 17 W (seventeen Watts!) "with a 6DQ12 [tube]", and only 
to comply with the telcom authority (URSEC). Antenna is an 
inverted L.

He adds that in the coming months they will be erecting a 
"halfwave mast" [sic] (he writes: "un mastil de 1/2 onda") 
and will increase power.

Radio Universo is on MW 1480, located in Castillos, the 
second largest city of the Department of Rocha, in the 
Atlantic coast of the country. I wrote him again querying 
about their sked, but still no reply. E-mail address is 
radio@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Station signal is still unheard here in Montevideo, 
300 km away.
