TAJIKISTAN 900/6260 CVC The Voice Asia was heard on unlisted 900 kHz
on 7 and 8 Oct during the recent Sheigra [Scotland] DXpedition, // SW 6260
which originates from a transmitter in Uzbekistan, with Christian
programming in Hindi. Alan Pennington made an enquiry with CVC and on 17
Oct got this reply form Andrew Flynn, Director, International
Broadcasting:
CVC The Voice Asia is exploring an opportunity to use 900 kHz MW to
supplement SW to northern India and Pakistan, and indeed tests were
carried out on 7 and 8 October. The transmitter is in Dushanbe,
Tajikistan. We are only in the early stages of assessing the opportunity
so I cannot provide any further information at the moment.

BBC RELAY IN THAILAND LIKELY TO BE OUT OF ACTION TILL NEXT WEEK.
We have been informed by VT Communications that the BBC's relay station in
Nakhon Sawan, Thailand, is likely to be out of action until next week
following severe flooding. The substitute broadcasts via other sites will
therefore continue until further notice, including those via the RNW
Madagascar relay station.

About the floodings that knocked the Nakhon Sawan site [BBCWS relay] off
air:
A look at the station from above (found no terrestrial photos):
Most antennas aim at China, otherwise the site only has another small
group for the direction of India/Afghanistan. History: Nakhon Sawan
replaced in 1996 the BBC's Hong Kong site, closed after just nine years of
operation, something the BBC was fully aware of already in 1987. The Hong
Kong facilities have been removed so carefully that nothing can be traced
on Google Maps images in spite of their high resolution.
