Re: [HCDX]: Radio Yura . La Voz del Layo

["Henrik Klemetz" <dhv599n@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Winter,

Not all places in Bolivia can be reached by phone. If you listen to
R Yura, you may hear the speaker ask someone in the local coverage
area to contact the station by "radio multibanda". They wouldn´t say
so if there were reliable phone lines, would they?

In the sparsely populated areas in the Bolivian "Oriente", things
are much the same.

But large chunks of the country are not interconnected by satellite,
so for instance if you want to talk to R Mallku (ex R Andes), in Uyuni, 
you may get the surprise of a lifetime:  the sound quality is absolutely stunning.

By the way, on Monday morning, my semi-local friend Rolf Fredriksson
tried for R Mallku, 4796.4, which was fair-to-good until s/off at 0205. From 
his tape I have culled the following canned s/off annc´t (which I cannot
prevent any HCDX readers from using in their own reports):

"A esta hora Radio Emisora Mallku cierra sus emisiones con la firme
promesa de volver dentro de algunas horas. Radio Mallku operó en los
4.795 kilociclos, banda tropical de 60 metros, onda corta. Muchas gracias
por su preferencia".

Cheerio,
Henrik Klemetz
PS. There is no such thing as "La Voz del Layo". The slogan you refer to
is "La Voz del Ayllu".
