Recommendations
Looking to Bolivia Project 2016 phase VI , I want to do the recomendations listed below:
– Mision Fatima. I left two spare low energy lamps to use if needed.
– Cosincho. Radio must to go to Tech Service and we need to find financial support to change battery and charge regulator.
– Dunuy. We need to find financial support for charge regulator and battery change. Dunuy and Cosincho batteries were installed on 2009 so they are close to their life end.
– Anti insects boxes It is imperative to install anti insects in all radio we have on duty in Maniqui river so I strongly recommend to find finacial support for anti insects boxes to protect radios installed in Dunuy, Cosincho, Catumare, Emey, San Jose de Yaranda and Iñañare, also in all radio we will install in the future. Anti insect box and hardware needed to pass antenna cable through the box is around 300 pesos bolivianos each one.
