                    When I have had time I have listened to the new station on 
                    3343.6 kHz. I have many hours of recordings, but only at one 
                    time did they announce "Radio Ayopaya onda corta". 
                     
                    I need to listen to it a few more times to make sure.  
                    On Sunday night, local time, I was listening to a program 
                    in Spanish, Corazón Alegre, a program with musical 
                    salutations and cumbia music, but the announcer never mentioned 
                    the name of the station.  
                    Ayopaya isn't very far from Cochabamba, but it is difficult 
                    to get there and there are social problems with the farmers 
                    blocking the roads; they won't let me go there.
