New section: 'Radio Buddies'

This month marks the beginning of a new section in this blog that we hope will be permanent: THE BUDDIES.

In every group, fraternity, tribe, gang or human group there are people with something in common, in our case the passion for radio. Passion sometimes burning, sometimes dormant, experienced, novice, crazy, abundant in resources, scarce and "pelabolic" (penniless)... in many different flavours.

This section will periodically bring a ‘Who's Who’ review, where I will introduce my colleagues and friends in radio.

Why is it called Los Socios? Well, although the origin is a bit obscure (so as not to get into paternity disputes...heh, heh) it is the term used by our group of radio friends to call each other "Epa socio...Que es de tu vida? !" (What's up buddy) is the common phrase in our rounds and conversations.

From this month... we will all have a part in this space...wait your turn!

Update June 2025: Sadly due to ongoing crisis in Venezuela, almost all of these colleagues have moved away to distant places like Ecuador, USA, The UK. A few still living in Maracaibo our home city.

In 2015 our dear Gilberto, YY1SBG   following a long-term illness, passed away. Regrettably very young and fine at peak of his life.  Hope you still QAP from heaven!
