“The Nautel ND2000 transmitter is now ready, the correct crystal oscillators have been found and configuration for 252 kHz has been done. Audio bandwidth has been increased. The NX2000TUB antenna tuner will be used with the modified beacon antenna.
The setting up of the antenna has been delayed but hopefully work will be carried out very soon.
Lately the amount of emails to the station asking for start dates has been too many to reply to but advance notice will be given for every transmission even testing.
252 kHz is not ideal given that Algeria is so strong but at present this is all the station has on LW. Permission for another frequency has to be applied for by the radio authority in Finland to the ITU so it’s not a simple process to do this.
In all work has been slow as there is no help on the ground to do things.”
