Radio Logos - They are on both frequencies. 4865 kHz is a 1 kW HCJB solid
state transmitter on a lazy H fed with open wire; an antenna that I
installed in about 1988. Their first transmitter was an old 500 Watt tube
Phillips made in Brazil with a crystal and a thumb screw on it that you
could move the carrier around to minimize interference from the
competition! The original frequency was approx. 4855 until about 1991 when
I installed two 5 kW transmitters, one on MW and one on the 4855
frequency.
In about yr. 2000 the government moved them to 4865. The 5 kW transmitter
was used on 4865 until they got the 1 kW solid state transmitter, retiring
the 5 kW tube because electric cost was a big factor.
Then in Dec. 2005 we resurrected the 5 kW tube transmitter, moved it to
6165 for their new frequency and fed the new phased dipole antenna
installed at that time.
The original station was RCN [meaning Centenario?] and they call the new
station R. Logos but the transmitter location is still the same, dating
back to 1988. The station is now broadcasting in 7 languages spoken in
Bolivia including Plaudietsch [sic Plattdeutsch wb.], the German dialect
used by the Mennonites in the area.

BURKINA FASO 5030 RTV Burkina (pres) 2317-2358* Jan 18. Short vocal
numbers and drumming solos with man & woman ancrs chatting briefly after
each selection; this continued to 2358 at which time the station went off
with no fanfare. Fair signal but competing with band noise so could not
determine language for sure, although it seemed vernacular.
