New
Peruvian, name still unknown.
During
three nights, April 18-20, closing down at 0100 UTC.
Seems to be very stable in frequncy.
Announces
1 kW of power.
This station may transmit from a town which name phonetically
sounds like "Santa Uro". Judging by the speech from the DJ,
this station ought to be located in Utcubamba, Amazonas.
I cannot hear any direct ID, only some occasional phrases
like for instance: "J.J." and "Emisora total Cién-Uno".
A lot of repeating that this is a test transmission; "Estamos
en calidad de prueba", then playing modern disco/pop, and
some cumbia, salsa and such.
Three following nights in close down at 0100 UTC and seems
to be very stable in frequncy.
Quite bad signal where the music can be heard quite well but
DJ has a weakly modulated mike. Also suffering from annoying
QRM from nearby channels, such as Aramango on 6519.8 and Huancabamba
on 6536 kHz.
Also a lot of political "contracted" ads for "Perú posible".
What makes me a little hesitant when it comes to confirming
the location of the transmitter, is that in one of the political
struggle songs the following places are mentioned: Santa Cruz,
Cajabamba, San Marcos, Celendin and some I can´t hear. All
of them located in "dpto Cajamarca".
