Diospi Suyana radio can now be streamed direct to your device via clicking on the below button;
A note on streaming in Peru – most Quechua people cannot afford this option as they don’t have access to a PC or smart phone, and even if they did, they have limited if any access to internet as they simply cannot afford that option. Moreover a significant percentage of Quechuas cannot read due to lack of education! Which is why FM radio is such a vital lifeblood in reaching this impoverished people, as most people do have access to an FM radio. And radio is a most popular medium in Peru given the culture which emphasises verbal communication.
Also note the civil work has just yesterday commenced with the next 1 of 2 FM transmission sites - Abancay. The two sites, Abancay and Sicuani, when completed will reach an additional 200,000 people making the total reach of Diospi Suyana FM radio 1 MILLION!
I have been working hard the past months to design the new sites with drawings and specifications. And also procure the equipment through Diospi Suyana from international manufacturers in USA, Canada, Italy and Australia. All the equipment has now been ordered and will be sent to Diospi Suyana in Germany for container # 71 which leaves at the end of March. It will arrive in Curahuasi at the end of May.
If we have electricity connected from the Peru supply authority, Electro Sur we should be on air in Abancay with FM in June this year (4 months from now). Sicuani awaits finalisation of the land purchase.
Regards,
Chris
