There is probably little to find on shortwave, besides
Radio Quito. Personally, I would recommend
CRE on the web
http://www.cre.com.ec/cre.htm
At this moment they are in a live transmission
of the parliamentary proceedings which now
are taking place in the town of Guayaquil
(where CRE is located).
Also, I would suggest DXers to tune to
Caracol Colombia, on sw  5076 kHz (if active),
or on the web. RCN, which is also on the web,
has two daily hookups with Radio Quito (in
the Cadena Solar network) and both Colombian
networks are quite commendable for their
Latin American news coverage.

To take one example, Caracol was minutes ahead
of BBC during the
American overthrow of the Noriega government
(in Panama) on Dec 20, 1989.  I sent a fax congratulating
them on their continuous coverage of events all through
the night (local morning in Europe).  Although I never
received any reply at the time, this fax helped
open several doors when I reported for
Radio World Magazine years later.  Caracol
President well remembered this encouraging
message, he said.
