** BOLIVIA. At 0415 July 28 I have JBA music on 6145, S7/S9 direct,
about equal to storm noise level, certainly something new. Per Aoki
the only other 6145 during our night hours is PBS Qinghai, China,
could be a problem before sunrise. And at final recheck 0616, I still
have a JBA carrier direct on 6145. This hot news came from RRR at 0255
UT July 28:
``Thanks to the information from a Cuban DXer and friend José Ibrahim
Pose, I was alerted at 0150 UTC about signal on 6145 kHz with Spanish
program Viva la Vida.
At 0203 ID as Radio Betania, followed by TC: "Son las 22 horas" jingle
and the announcement: "esta emisora está regulada y fiscalizada por la
ATT" ATT (Bolivia's telecommunications control agency).
In a quick search I found that Radio Betania operates on 93.7 MHz and
its online signal coincides with the shortwave signal.

The Bolivian station that operated on this frequency was Radio Juan
XXIII from San Ignacio de Velasco, but there is no online signal for
this station, but I found this information from a communications
service provider where last March they published information about
work on the 6145 kHz antenna of Radio Juan XXIII.

At the time 0250 UTC continue with Catholic programs and music. Rafael
Rodríguez R., Bogotá, Colombia``
I posted that immediately on the WOR iogroup, and many other logs
ensued confirming the above info. Walt Salmaniw measured it on
6144.978. And:

Than you very much to Rafael Rodríguez and Glenn Hauser for the timely
alert about this station on WoR@groups.io``
And from Ron Howard: ``Thanks to the informative alerts from Rafael,
Glenn, Manuel, Walt, I was able to catch the new Bolivian on 6145 kHz,
from 0450+ UT, with mostly non-stop religious songs and occasional
announcers. Online I found the following site that not only has live
streaming, but has IDs of all the songs being played.
