Listening on Curaçao, a new radio country

by Max van Arnhem

Readers of the World Radio TV Handbook 2011 noticed a change in the countryname of The Netherlands Antilles.Originally The Netherlands Antilles was a country within The Netherlands andconsisted of the islands Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao,Sint Maarten,Saba and Sint Eustatius.On the 1st of January 1986, Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles andofficially became a separate country with a special status (“status aparte”) within theKingdom of the Netherlands.On the 10th of October 2010, the existence of The Netherlands Antilles ended andCuraçao and Sint Maarten got a special status within the kingdom, while the islands

Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (the BES Islands) became special municipalities ofThe Netherlands.There is a broad spectrum of political sentiment on all the islands, on one side thewish to be a completely independent country (Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten) andon the other side the wish to be part of The Netherlands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius andSaba).The result is that you now find in the WRTH 2012 Aruba (Netherlands), Bonaire(Netherlands), Curaçao (Netherlands), Saba (Netherlands), St. Eustatius(Netherlands) and St. Maarten (Netherlands) instead of Aruba and The Netherlands Antilles.Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao (the ABC islands) are located off the coast of

Venezuela, while Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius and Saba are located about 900kilometres north of the ABC islands (east of Puerto Rico).



On the ABC islands the languages spoken are Papiamentu and Dutch. Papiamentuis a mix of Spanish, Portuguese, English and Dutch. On the BES islands English andDutch are spoken.In 1983 I paid my first visit to Bonaire and Curaçao, while in the last ten years I

visited Aruba, Bonaire and frequentlyCuraçao.

Of course , during all these journeys Itook a portable radio with me to explorethe radio scene on the islands. Aseverywhere a lot of things changed.While in 1983 approximately 13 stationswere active on all islands (ABC andBES), nowadays Aruba counts 18,Curaçao 25, Bonaire 8, St. Maarten 9stations while St. Eustatius and Sabaeach have one station.In 1983 on Curaçao I found three

stations on medium wave and FM, all other stations were on medium wave only.Now the situation changed and on Curaçao only CUROM Radio Z86 (PJZ86) is stillusing mediumwave (860 khz).In 1983 I paid visits to the medium wave stations Radio Hoyer (Radio Hoyer 1 1010in Papiamentu and Radio Hoyer 2 1500 khz in Dutch) and CUROM ( 860 khz) andthe FM station Radio Korsou FM(93.9 Mhz) that just started as the only station usingFM.On Bonaire, also home of the shortwaverelay station Radio Nederland andshortwave and medium wave stationTrans World Radio, I visited the tiny

medium wave station the Voice of Bonaire(1400 khz).Several years ago I also visited the former medium wave station Radio Kelkboom on Aruba (1440 khz) and again to Radio Korsou FM.

Aruba still has listed two medium wavestations, which are often more off thanon the air.Founder and owner of Radio KorsouFM, Hans Oosterhof, in the past had aprogram on the International Waters

station off the Dutch coast, RadioVeronica. He often uses his Indonesianname “Suhandi” referring to his radiotime in the former Dutch East Indies,

now IndonesiaIn the years these stations were still on medium wave, Radio Hoyer and RadioKelkboom were also heard by DXers in Europe.The names Hoyer and Kelkboom are the family names of the founders and stillowners of the station.Last November and December I wasagain on Curaçao and revisited Radio

Hoyer which is the first station in theworld using solar energy. It has anextensive music collection that isbeing digitalized. Recently, in



December, Radio Hoyer started a new website with lost of historical photos(www.radiohoyer.com). Also in November I visited FM station Hit 100.3FM which also has a video clipchannel, Canal 24, also used for religious broadcasts.Because of the few stations left on medium wave it will be hardly impossible forDXers to log one of the islands. Considering the location, off the coast of Venezuela,

one can imagine that DXing from one of he ABC islands can be very interesting.Some years ago, while on Curaçao, I concentrated on listening to the tropical bandsand it was interesting to find, besides the central and South American stations, quitesome stations from Indonesia and also the Solomon Islands. These stations wereheard at local dawn.However, now many stations left the tropical bands and interference on shortwave isa common problem, medium wave was quiet so that was the place to be. At daytime,due to the short distance to Venezuela, many stations are audible with goodreception quality.On the 2nd of December all stations from Venezuela I could hear, were carrying alive transmission of the summit of Latin American and Caribbean States taking place

in Venezuela. Long speeches were heard by President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.The WRTH indicates that in 2009, The Venezuelan authorities announced theclosure of some 240 AM and FM stations for failure to comply with licensingrequirements. At time of editing the WRTH 2012, these measurements have still notbeen carried out. Those stations known to have closed are marked in the WRTHunder Venezuela with an *. Indeed, I noticed 820 Radio Guadalupana, Coro alreadyoff the air in 2009.While in 2009 I heard the also in Europe often reported 1470 CBN Valencia withgood strength, now in December 2011, the station was off the air.Often in local afternoons many stations carry the same program of Radio Nacional deVenezuela and often referring to “el comandante” Hugo Chavez.

Also programs or slogans of stations often refer to the government. Examples are1070 Mundial Zulia ("Mundial Zulia revolución con impacto social de la mano con elpueblo") and 1280 Radio Trujillo ("Trujillo socialista en la calle").While listening to stations from Venezuela you may hear the announcement of aclassification of the following program, like “El siguiente programa recreativoinformativo contiene elementos de lenguaje, tipo A elementos de salud tipo A,elementos sexuales tipo A, elementos de violencia tipo A y B que pueden serescuchados por ninos , ninas y adolescentes sin la supervisión de sus madres,padres, representantes o responsables” . In this case the program can be heard by children, adolescents without the

supervision of parents, representatives or those who are responsible.Call signs are less often heard than in the past. Station identifications can often beheard during the programs, not especially at Venezuelan top of the hour (xx+30).Because of the many stations from Venezuela that are occupying the frequencies,hearing stations from othercountries needs some moreefforts.Identifying Venezuela is easy dueto the local time of UTC minus 4and half hours while Colombiahas UTC-5 hours.

Also FM reception fromVenezuela is possible on the ABC islands, especially stationsfrom Coro are heard daily. The



Venezuelan Rumbera Network has its own station on Curaçao on 107.9 FM.Every time I was on the islands I hoped for Sporadic E FM reception, but I never hadluck.The following medium wave loggings are an example of what can be heard onCuraçao and don’t pretend to be an overview of real DX-ing. The receiver was aSony ICF SW7600GR. Interesting is the new 1660 Noti Luz , which also easily can

be heard in western Europe.Notice that 1160 is listed in the WRTH 2012 as Radio Notícias 1160, while I heardidentifications as Radio Industrial.
