Radio Ambato 930

This station was logged September 7 2011. It was a total surprise to me. Two Canadians and LV de Bogota seems to be logged all the time. I sent a report to Gerente Mario Barona V. who sent me a friendly letter. Henrik Klemetz also contacted Sr Barona by phone and tried to convince him to send a message to "En Vivo". Sorry to say but I read the mail after the message was sent. After a tremendeous work Henrik Klemetz received a studio recording. You can find it here: http://www.box.net/shared/m3cvjdsio96rkh7ks3ka. The voice is not Sr Barona but Jorge from the department of sports. Many thanks  to Mr Barona and to  Henrik for making this possible.
