Monitoring Radio Panamericana


(Gayle Van Horn QSL COllection)
Bolivia
Radio Panamericana on 6105 kHz seems to have become a rarely heard station since July 2015. This coincides with the death of the founder Miguel Dueri Anton Maria on 30 July 2015 and the apparent relaunch of their website at: http://panamericana.bo 

The coloured header of the site only mentions 96.1 MHz and 580 kHz while further down the short wave frequency is still included in a list which also mentions 106.3 MHz for the provinces. The site refers to a web stream at: http://www.megalink.com/radio/panamericana/index.php
which did not start when checked.

Looking at the given schedule one might also note that the station closes two hours earlier in the weekend compared with the weekday schedule.

If the transmitter is broken or failing, it is unlikely that short wave will be given any investment before January 2017, because the station's licence is coming up for renewal and the station does not necessarily comply with Presidente Evo Morales' views.
