ECUADOR Stephan Schaa of VozAndes Media in Germany explained that after
HCJB dismantled its shortwave transmitter site in Pifo, Ecuador, the
equipment was donated to HCJB's German branch. This included a
100-kilowatt HC-100 HF transmitter, two 33-kilowatt Siemens linear
transmitters which have been tested by HCJB with four kilowatts in DRM
mode, and two 10-kilowatt regional shortwave transmitters, one of which is
operating on 6050 kHz. The donation also included antennas and
transmission lines.
VozAndes Media has a plan to build a new shortwave transmitter site
somewhere else in Ecuador within 6 to 12 months, although a site has not
yet been located. The plan is to broadcast in German, Spanish and
Portuguese, as well as some regional South American languages such as
Quichua. Broadcasts will be targeted primarily at Latin America, although
there would also likely be broadcasts to Europe in German with the
100-kilowatt transmitter. Some DRM transmissions are planned.

ERITREA The BC on 7171.95 kHz with HOA music is R. Eritrea.
Dear fellow Intruder Busters,
I have heard the signal myself from 1850 till 2000 UTC Sept 18 and trying
to pick up some station announcement. The signal was S=9+30dB with my
dipole and slightly varying in frequency. Maybe the chaps in ERI have a
VFO, who knows. At 2000 UTC the BC was signing off with the National
Anthem of Eritrea. It sounded like "... Eritriyah-Eritriya-Eritriya..."
and so on. So it was R. Eritrea or at least a BC stn from ERI.
[*) HOA Horn-of-Africa, common expression of BCLs]
