PJZ-86 Radio Curom, Willemstad -860

The morning  26th of January 2012 I had huge signals from a lot of Venezuelans all over the band and suddenly I stopped on 860 where a strange jingle was heard between two songs. After playing the jingle a few times I heard  what was sunged, "Z ochenta seis emisora"   As the quality of the reception was quite good I sent the station a recording of the jingle but got no reaction from them. Not until I came in contact with Jason Jordan Thode who works as a DJ and producer at all three Curom Broadcasting stations, Z86 -860, 88Rockorsou -88.3  and  MI-95 -95,7. He verified my reception swiftly and welcomed me to visit their beautiful Island Curacao!
Curacao, the "C" lettter of the ABC Islands (Aruba,Bonaire and Curacao) is  located in the southern Caribbean Sea  just north of the Venezuelan coast. Erlier Curacao was a part of   The Nederland Antilles but the 10th of October 2010 it became new constituent country  .

CMHA R Cadena Agramonte, Camagüey -910

Camagüey - "La ciudad Confusa" is the third largest city in Cuba. Nicknamed also as "The Maze" because of its narrow twisting streets and alleys, which start or end in public squares and form a complicated labyrinth that was deliberately designed this way to confuse pirates and other raiders in the past.
