The National radio is of course a prime example of a pro-government
voice, operating under the Ministry of Education, but aside
from that, the station gave a very professional image. The
oldest broadcaster in Peru (on air since 1925) is based
in a mansion-like building at Avenida Petit Thouars 447,
Santa Beatriz, Lima 1.
The WRTH information also on this one is a bit outdated;
at the moment the station is not broadcasting on 6095 kHz,
and does not intend to return to shortwaves. Instead, the
station is planning to broadcast on the internet. Radio
Nacional has several AM and FM affiliates around Peru, in
Lima the AM frequency is 850 kHz. Station director is nowadays
Carlos Fuentes Chavez.
Fuentes
was very friendly, and was happy to write verifications
for the three reception reports I had brought along (for
me, Markus Salonen and Ilkka Suni). And you know who's wearing
the famous YLE cap - I got a Radio Nacional cap in return.
