Radio
5264, Empresa Individual de Responsabilidad Limitada "La
Voz de Chiriaco", made its debut on airwaves on Tuesday,
October 3, 1995, being the first commercial broadcasting
company in Chiriaco.
The station identifies itself as "Radio 5264"(cinco mil
doscientos sesenta y cuatro) after its nominal frequency.
It runs with a transmitter of 1kW power which was built
by Ing. Selustiano Asmad in Trujillo, connected into a 1/2
wave dipole antenna (14 meters high above the ground).
As of February 1998, the station is off the air due
to economical reason, but it will come back on airwave,
hopefully in April 1998.
While active it operated at two local time slots: 0600-1200
in the morning and 1900-2300 in the evening (i.e. 1100-1700
and 0000-0400 UTC), with the following programming:
1100-1200 "Música Folklórica",
1200-1300 "Noticias y Música Chicha",
1300-1400 "Música Tropical",

According to Radio 5264 their transmitter was built
in August 1995 by a radio-engineer in Trujillo. It means that
it is seemingly a new transmitting equipment.
In 1984, Juan Carlos Codina observed an unidentified station
which had made an experimental transmission "calidad de prueba"
on 5264.7 kHz from the Department of Amazonas.
It is very interesting that this unidentified station had
operated near the frequency on which Radio 5264 remained,
and had also existed in the same department. Therefore, It
is doubtful whether the transmitter currently used by Radio
5264 is absolutely new equipment ...
It is quite possible that Radio 5264 is utilizing the second-hand
transmitter which was formerly used by the unidentified shortwaver
temporally appeared on 5264.7 kHz.
