Anyone heard Radio Huaya lately? (Wasn't it on 2390 kHz?)
------------- "For roughly three decades, Radio Huayacocotla (pronounced hway-ah-koh-KOHT-lah), a 500-watt short-wave community radio station deep in the heart of rural Veracruz state in east-central Mexico has served as an audio lifeline for some of this country's poorest and most overlooked people. Broadcasting eight hours a day, six days a week, in a region where the illiteracy is high and the technology low, the station is many people's main news outlet. And as the only licensed radio station operated primarily by and for indigenous Mexicans, it's a unique source of two other commodities that some deem crucial to this community's long-term survival: regular contact with distant loved ones, and the freewheeling, improvisational music called son huasteco." http://www.latimes.com/features/life...,3950803.story |
