MISC.

BOLIVIA: I was curious as to just who Mauro Nun~ez was as I had never 
heard of him and did not find a mention of the guy in some Bolivian 
history materials that I consulted. I posted a question to the 
Bolivian usenet group. It turns out that he was a very famous 
charango player - a "painter and sculptor on the charango" as one 
person put it. Apparently passed away, since only refered to in the 
past tense. One reply mentioned having seen him perform, however. As 
you might guess, he was from Sucre where the station is located. (Don

BRAZIL: The 1995 WRTH still lists the "A Voz do Brasil" program as 
being mandatory on all Brazilian broadcasters from 2200-2300. This 
program goes back to the Getulio Vargas dictatorship of 1930-1945 
(maybe the longest running SW program now that Happy Station is 
gone?). I posted a query to the Brazilian group and got two replies 
back, both stating that it is indeed still required and still carried 
by all stations. Both replies were from Brazilians in the USA, so I'm 
not sure how up-to-date they are. One did note that the program can 
be heard on Radio Nacional Amazonia on 11780 everyday at that time. 
It would be interesting to check for //s on other Brazilians, but 
it's tough to get Brazilians that early in Iowa at this time of year. 
The guy who listens to it on 11780 said that while it is sometimes 
interesting, maybe the requirement is "why car radios with shortwave 
are so popular in Brazil." An interesting comment. I also asked about 
the "Projeto Minerva" that used to be listed in the WRTH for 2300-
2330 but is no longer. Only one of my two replies responded to that 
and he said he had never heard of the program. (Don Moore)
