A couple of years ago I visited Radio Yura in Bolivia and I'm still in touch with one of the announcers of the stations. He wrote me on Monday that Radio Yura was back on the air, so I started checking various SDR receivers in South America as from the (supposed) sign on time at 2200 UTC, and at 2240 UTC Radio Yura did indeed sign on - on 5935.0 kHz. Not too strong in the beginning but gradually the signal got better and many clear station IDs were noted. I recorded one of them - which you can hear here: https://soundcloud.com/stig-hartvig-nielsen/radio-yura-heard-in-brazil-on-5935-july-6th-2020 (here you can also see a photo of the building where Radio Yura has its on air studio and check some of my other uploads, if you care. Press my name .. and perhaps you'll have to log in as well; I'm not really familiar with Soundcloud)
It has been reported that Radio Yura was not on the air yesterday. I might be so, yes. The thing is that Radio Yura has to rely on volunteers, so sometimes they are on the air - sometimes not. As my friend from Radio Yura put it: "Es así lamentablemente radio Yura encienden cuando tiene voluntad la locutora... Siempre fue asi..."
