However, due to the budget cuts earlier this year, the broadcasts were
discontinued and there are no plans at the moment to reinstate them.

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 100kilowatt
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 100kilowatt
transmitter. Some DRM transmissions are planned.
