Radio
Estación Tarapoto is situtated in the city of Tarapoto
in the Department of San Martín. The region has a
tropical climate with 40 degree centrigrade temperatures
quite common and frequent, unforseeable torrential rain
storms. Tarapoto is a dynamic commerical city and is the
capital for commercial activities in San Martín.
The station, "La primera opción en radio", is a relatively
young entereprise. For eight years, Estación Tarapoto
has broadcast a variety of programs for the region simultaneously
on three frequencies. On shortwave, the station can be heard
on 5015 kHz with 700 watts. The call letters are OAX9K.
A third channel on FM broadcasts on 101.3 MHz.
The broadcast day commences at 1000 UTC and ends
at 0500 UTC. The station is proud of its news and public
affairs programs. La Mañana en la noticia is broadcast
from 1100-1300 UTC each day. Another program, El mundo en
acción, features a variety of music styles heard
throughout the country.
The station's gerente, Luis Hidalgo Sánchez, is a
good verifier of listernes reports. Spanish language reports
with return postage can be sent to the station at:

The
station has drifted between 5014.7-.8. On Oct. 14 newscast
"La Mañana en la Noticia" (TIN) 5016.7v in mid-September
but usually on 5014.8, so reports saying this is R Jualiaca
seem a bit exaggerated. Occasionally, before the morning news
at 1100, there's a 10-15 relay of R Exterior de España.
On 16/8 I noticed that the one-cue of the news was in the
form of a huayno:
A continuación ofreceremos
las noticias frescas emanadas
del informativo más completo
que haya llegado hasta sus casas
!que emocíon!
Y ... !atentción!
This incredible huayno was followed by a canned announcement
by the station manager himself saying "Es dura y dificil
nuestra tarea de vivir con honor en la región San Martin"
(this may be a reference to the drugs trade).
"Estación Tarapoto primera opción en radio,
con sus tres frecuencias simultáneo, apertura une nueva
edición de La mañana en la noticia".
