Manantial,
Peru, new on 5387.7 kHz
Radio
Manantial , Otuzco, departamento La Libertad, Peru, heard
on 5387.76 kHz between 2002 and close down at 0100 on ).
April 8 and 28, 2002.
This new Peruvian station took 20 days of intense listening
to catch an ID. Finally the station came up with a signal
good enough for this ID on April 28:
"Están en sintonía de su nueva estación
Radio Manantial desde Otuzco, el departamento de La Libertad."
Closes pretty regularly at about 0100 UTC and begins at
1000-1100 UTC.
I have heard px from "Maranatha" and "LV
de la Salvación". At other times their own programmes,
often religious music.
I think you can reach the station by writing to "Maranatha"
in the town "Otuzco".

San Lorenzo,
Peru, new on 5544.7 kHz
This new
station was heard on 11 April 2002 at 0030 on 5544.7 kHz.
In June 2001 I reported a harmonic on 3120v kHz. If that info
still holds, 5544.70 Radio San Lorenzo is located in parroquia
San Lorenzo, la provincia de Cutervo, el departamento de Cajamarca.
Just like the harmonic on 3120v kHz they also announce 5544.7
kHz and MW 1560 kHz as well as another SW-frequency
I couldn´t get.
What makes me feel a little uncertain is the fact that in
March 2001, I heard Estación
Equís in Bagua, in departamento Amazonas,
on 5544.7 kHz -- exactly the same frequency, but of course
the transmitter equipment could have been sold to any location
in Perú.

New Latin station
on 5387.7 kHz
A new
Latin American radio station, with unknown location, has been
heard on 5387.72 kHz.
The station was first heard on 8 April 2002 until 0050, its
first day of transmission. They repeated it was a new station,
with an ID like:
"Están en sintonia de su Radio "Marancay."
[name as heard].
It carried a religious format, with long blocks of unannounced
religious music without any talk and short and small "sermons"
by male announcer.
Announces the frequency as 5910 kHz and a starting time of
1100 UTC, and it closes around 0200.
When not broadcasting purchased religious programs, like "La
Voz de la Salvación" and "Radio Universal
de Vida", it is mostly playing nonstop religious music.
I know that the station is located in a "departamento"
and in that case both Ecuador and Bolivia are out of the question.
