OPERATIONS ATTACHMENT FOR PARAGUAY
MONTHLY REPORT, AUGUST 1981
1. Cruising activities for the first week of the month were dedicated to
following the rebellion in Bolivia. Rebels in Santa Cruz maintained a
"network" of which Santa Cruz Radio Grigota at 4830 khz, the main station
in the network, Robore Radio Robore at 5312 khz, and Montero Radio Norte
at 4940 khz were audible at bureau. Originally called "Cadena de
Reordenamiento Institucional," the network changed its title to "Cadena
de la Dignificacion Institucional," and, alternately, "Cadena de la
Reivindicacion Nacional" after President Luis Garcia Meza resigned and
the goals of the rebel movement consequently changed. Generally the
network was heard with fair reception, but as the crisis wore on
reception deteriorated, due in part to reported interference from La Paz
Radio Illimani Network and to interference from a channel marker for
a marine frequency, Buenos Aires Radio Pacheco at 4830 khz upper side
band. Finally, on 8 August after a press conference by rebel leader
Gen Alberto Natusch Busch, the network was disbanded. Cruising continued
for several days thereafter with no further sign of the network.
2. Seasonal changes and Radio Moscow beam interfered with bureau reception
of Santiago Domestic Service at 15150 khz. A new frequency, 15140, was
located which provides fair-good reception at night.
3. Further cruising targeted against Peru was conducted. Cuzco Radio
Tawantinsuyo in Spanish was heard with fair-poor reception at 6175 khz,
upper side band, broadcasting in network with Juliaca Radio Qollasuyo,
Abancay Radio Apurimac, and Quillabamba Radio La Convenci6n carrying
a 45-minute newscast at 1130 GMT. Station will be added to emergency
frequency list for Peru and checked as a further backstop for coverage.
Tacna Radio Tacna has been observed broadcasting alternately at 9505 khz
and 9484 khz. Station does not appear to be broadcasting in parallel.
4. Development of a program schedule for Sao Paulo Radio Ba,ndeirantes was
further delayed by Bolivian events and by repairs to cruising position.
5. When Paris AFP apparently experienced transmission problems on 26 August
and stopped sending, Paraguay was able to backstop by picking up the
normally-redundant AFP Portuguese beam, which was transmitting normally
with good reception.
6. Three magazines--the Argentine Weekly GENTE, the Chilean biweekly COSAS,
and the Uruguayan weekly OPINAR--were added to bureau coverage during
August.
