Radio Rumbos, Caracas, Venezuela


When I received this QSL card from Radio Rumbos in 1977, little did I know that in 10 years time I would be walking down that same Urdaneta Avenue in downtown Caracas everyday to go to work. The church on the right is part of Santa Capilla, which is perhaps one of the most beautiful churches in the city. It looks like a big wedding cake. This card doesn´t do it justice. Radio Rumbos was an easy catch on 9,660 kHz every night with a live parallel transmission of their AM broadcast. The station is still popular in Caracas among the working class but it is no longer on shortwave.
