Cutervo

Radio Ilucan used 5617 kHz shortwave in the 1980s and 1990s. I visted the station in 1985 and again in 2017.

La Voz de Cutervo was the subject of an article I wrote for the 1989 Passport to World Band Radio. I visited the station in 1985 and got to meet Julio Cesar Sanchez, who had owned the station, again in 2017.

Chota

Broadcasting on 6296 kHz, Radio Chota was one of the first easily-heard out-of-band Peruvian broadcasters in the late 1970s. Later they switched to 4890 kHz. I visited the station in 1985. In May 2018, I revisited the station with DXers John Fisher of Ontario and Karl Forth of Chicago.

Owner Leonico Dias Tapia of Radio Estelar was one of the original three founders of Radio Chota. Later he left Radio Chota and founded Radio Estelar.

Bambamarca

In 1985, Radio Bambamarca was the only station in Bambamarca. It closed years ago. I just took pictures and didn't visit any of the current stations.
