Station
silenced by extreme cold
by Brother Rolando del Carpio
Montalvo, Director, Radio San Antonio Callali-Calloma,
22 July 2002 (Cahtolic Radio Update special)
My dear friends, the reason for this report is to greet you
and at the same time tell you that for over a week there has
been no signal broadcast from Radio San Antonio. We hear by
international news that the south of Peru has been declared
an emergency because of the natural disasters such as the
change in climate with blizzards, strong winds, and low temperatures.
All these are causing serious respiratory problems among children
and the elderly. In addition, these are causing a high rate
of mortality among animals such as alpacas, sheep, and llamas,
which have nothing to eat. As a result of these woes, a crusade
of help has been organized on the national level for all the
zones affected by this climatological phenomenon, which for
the present year and the next will cause difficulties for
all the people of this area who live solely by raising domestic
animals, given that because of the altitude there can be no
agriculture.
Because of the blizzards, an electric power transformer has
blown, by which for more than a week all the towns of the
high zones of Arequipa province have no electric current and
we are still trying to get the authorities to give us fuel
for our generator and thus keep all the people of these high
altitudes informed, because we are the only radio station
that keeps everyone who inhabits these high altitudes informed.
We hope that by tomorrow or the end of the week we will be
back on the air.

I have
been hearing for the past week a station with a good signal
on 3375 and trying to ID the location.
Today, July 8, at sign-off I heard:
"Radio San Antonio, ha transmitido para Uds. desde el distrito
de Calame?, Parróquia de San Antonio de Padua. Muchas
gracias y los invitamos a sintonizarnos mañana a partir de
las 6 de la mañana"
It was possible to identify that Radio San Antonio is in Arequipa
department.

Thanks to help from Gerardo in Perú the ID is
now heard as follows:
"Es Radio San Antonio...que transmite desde la ciudad
de Callalli para todos los oyentes, es una emisora católica
a servicio de la comunidad".
The address: Radio San Antonio, Parroquia San Antonio de Padua
Párroco Pbro. Franz Windischhofer Raffetseder, Plaza

A move
from 5235.5 kHz
Radio San Antonio on 3375 kHz is undoubtedly the same station
which was on 5235.5 some years ago from San Antonio de Padua,
Arequipa. It was unlicensed, operated by the Catholic church.
But now it is licensed as OAW6B and is authorized by the Ministery
of Transport and Communications on a frequency of 3375.
Transmitter site is in the parish of San Antonio de Padua
de Callalli, Arequipa. Name of the business is registered
as "Centro de Medios de Comunicación Social San
Antonio". According to official info, the station is
also authorized another frequency, 3390 as OAW6A.
