The
station reported on 5235.5 kHz is indeed a new Peruvian station,
reports Takayuki Inoue Nózaki, in Relámpago DX.
"The station, Radio La Voz de Abancay, Abancay; was first
observed on September 29, 2000, during my stay in Abancay",
reports TIN.
The station runs on the nominal frequency of 5235 kHz (0.25
kW) and 96.9 MHz (0.06 kW) at 0900-2400 daily.
The shortwave outlet remains around 5235 kHz, on which Radio
Apurímac formerly operated. However, the station does not
use the transmitter of Radio Apurímac.
The station is owned by Lucio Fuentes, the founder and owner
of Radio La Voz de Andahuaylas.
Address: Avenida Noviembre Lote 6, Urbanización Micaela
Bastidas, Abancay, Departamento de Apurímac, Perú.

First it was believed that Radio Apurimac was back
on the air. The station was logged as unidentified by several
DXers, one being David Norrie, reporting this on the hcdx
list:
5235.56 Radio Apurimac, 1103, Aug 25.
No ID but s/on at or about 11.00, but flute music noted with
fair signal. This one confirmed and being heard by Rogildo
Fontenele in Bolivia at this time and thanks to him for this
confirmation.
Radio Apurimac was a fairly frequent catch on this frequency
during 1994-97, according to the Nordicdx database.
The station then also was noted for carrying boty ads and
programming for Radio Mar Plus 760 kHz, a station in Lima.
Radio Apurimac was established on September 16, 1966 by Raul
Montesino. |
