** BOLIVIA. At 0415 July 28 I have JBA music on 6145, S7/S9 direct,
about equal to storm noise level, certainly something new. Per Aoki
the only other 6145 during our night hours is PBS Qinghai, China,
could be a problem before sunrise. And at final recheck 0616, I still
have a JBA carrier direct on 6145. This hot news came from RRR at 0255
UT July 28:

``Thanks to the information from a Cuban DXer and friend José Ibrahim
Pose, I was alerted at 0150 UTC about signal on 6145 kHz with Spanish
program Viva la Vida.

At 0203 ID as Radio Betania, followed by TC: "Son las 22 horas" jingle
and the announcement: "esta emisora está regulada y fiscalizada por la
ATT"  ATT (Bolivia's telecommunications control agency).

In a quick search I found that Radio Betania operates on 93.7 MHz and
its online signal coincides with the shortwave signal.
https://www.facebook.com/radiobetania.oficial

The Bolivian station that operated on this frequency was Radio Juan
XXIII from San Ignacio de Velasco, but there is no online signal for
this station, but I found this information from a communications
service provider where last March they published information about
work on the 6145 kHz antenna of Radio Juan XXIII.

https://www.facebook.com/profile/100063812820112/search/?q=6145&locale=eo_EO

At the time 0250 UTC continue with Catholic programs and music. Rafael
Rodríguez R., Bogotá, Colombia``

I posted that immediately on the WOR iogroup, and many other logs
ensued confirming the above info. Walt Salmaniw measured it on
6144.978. And:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Reinante, NW of Spain, Sangean
ATS 909X, Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters:

BOLIVIA, 6145, Radio Betania, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, probably
emitting through the inactive Radio Juan XXIII transmitter, San
Ignacio de Velasco, Santa Cruz, 0445-0640, 28-07, Spanish, religious
songs and comments, ID “Radio Betania, 93.7”, “Betania, 93.7, 25 años
siendo testigo de la…”, “25 años acompañando su camino de fe, Radio
Betania”, “Radio Betania, la radio de los católicos”. 25422. Program
matches with its website streaming
Web: https://radiobetania.com/
Streaming: https://emiteradio.com/proxy/radiobetania?mp=/stream
Than you very much to Rafael Rodríguez and Glenn Hauser for the timely
alert about this station on WoR@groups.io``

And from Ron Howard: ``Thanks to the informative alerts from Rafael,
Glenn, Manuel, Walt, I was able to catch the new Bolivian on 6145 kHz,
from 0450+ UT, with mostly non-stop religious songs and occasional
announcers. Online I found the following site that not only has live
streaming, but has IDs of all the songs being played.
https://radios.com.bo/betania-santa-cruz/  
[but please note the site has the wrong FM frequency] Thanks, fellows
for your postings! Ron, California``

PIRATE RADIO changes from July 29: ``Hi Glenn, Pirate Radio currently

https://fastcast4u.com/player/gdwr878/
World of radio continues (anytime). 73 :-) Gary, Gary Drew
Worldwide``

Gary, Just to be clear, there is no longer a specific WOR time of 0730
Sundays, and the random times are no longer limited to 23/05 UT? Could
you give me some idea of how many times WOR would appear during one
day or one week? Glenn

``Hi Glenn, Yes, there is no longer a set time for World of Radio but
all I can tell you is that the automation is on a 38 hour loop playing
in sequence order at weekends, Friday night to Monday morning then it
goes into shuffle mode Monday - Friday. It will be updated weekly
every Friday lunchtime but there is no way of telling how many times
WOR will be broadcast. I'm sorry I can't be more specific but I am
happy to help promote your programme as I have been doing so since
2008 when I discovered it. Kind Regards, Gary`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
