Radio Heritage Interview
HCJB Quito, Ecuador
_________________________
A major new interview about the work of the Radio Heritage Foundation
can be heard as audio on demand from HCJB for the DX Partyline
program of January 30 2009 at www.hcjb.org.
Host Allen Graham in the Quito studios talks with Radio Heritage
Foundation chairman David Ricquish about how the Pacific wide radio
heritage preservation project got started, its progress, and the
importance of making such an effort to protect and preserve the
stories of radio.
Since going live on line some 5 years ago, the website
www.radioheritage.net has received millions of visitors, page views
and hits from some 125+ countries, and has become a popular free
resource for researchers, students, people in the broadcasting
industry, radio listeners and enthusiasts and increasingly,
genealogists.
In the same period, thousands of original items of radio memorabilia
have been saved from damage or loss, hundreds of original articles
and photos placed on line, some 30 major radio heritage documentaries
researched and broadcast over RNZI, and much more.
Amongst the international board members that help give the Radio
Heritage Foundation its unique global perspective on radio heritage
issues are well known broadcasters Dr Adrian Peterson [Adventist
World Radio], Jonathan Marks [previously with Radio Netherlands] and
Martin Hadlow [until recently with UNESCO].
The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting radio heritage and popular culture across the Pacific.
Visit www.radioheritage.net to learn more about its current
activities and programs, and to find out how you can get involved.
You can also support the radio heritage programs by donations,
materials, radio memorabilia and ephemera, and your time and
goodwill. These are challenging times financially for all heritage
preservation projects, and your donation will help save our Pacific
radio heritage for future generations.
Radio Heritage Foundation, PO Box 14339, Wellington 6241, New
Zealand. Visit us today at www.radioheritage.net, listen to this
latest interview on HCJB at
www.hcjb.org/media/dx_partyline/dxpl_audio_files.html [January 30
2009], and listen to our latest documentaries on RNZI at www.rnzi.com

Peru, 4857.43, Radio La Hora, 1115-1125, Signal consisted of steady music
with canned ID every once in awhile over the music. The time frame
was ratther late, so the signal was very poor with deep fades. (Chuck
Bolland, February 12, 2009)
Peru, 5039.16, Radio Libertad, 1125-1135, Anther late logging, noted
music here. It was the traditional Huaynos type of music with the yelpping
the is usually heard. Between music, noted a male in Spanish comments.
Signal was fading to threshold. (Chuck Bolland, February 12, 2009)
Cuba, 6060, Radio National de Venezuela, 1138-1145, Tune in while
news is being presented in English. This was followed by ID as, "Radio
National of Venezuela...". Later a brief sound bite from Chavez and then
more English comments from a female. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland,

Bolivia, 5952.40, emisoras Pio XII, 0032-0100 Noted a male talking to
a female on the telephone briefly. Then at 09035, typical local music

She mentioned Bolivia a couple of times. Signal was fair with splatter.
(Chuck Bolland, February 14, 2009)
Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 0112-0120 At this time of night

4880 SOUTH AFRICA (CLAN), SW Radio Africa heard at 1815 on 13 February
with African style music and English programming. Talked about the arrest
of one of the coalition government persons. Fair signals with some fluttery
fading. Studios in England and transmitting from Meyerton.
Well, there have been more suicide attacks just the other day with some
rather disastrous results.
I was supposed to go to Kandahar yesterday, however, Kabul was socked in
with a rather persistent snow which has finally cleared today (and turned to
ice). There is nothing like a snowplow here and everyone just drives as
best they can.
I should fly out to Kandahar tomorrow morning, but will be incommunicado
until I get the satellite hub and links set up there for the internet.
Best DX to all, and I shall be back in touch soon.
