The change to the 41 meter band should help their interference issues. I
guess we'll have to monitor this closely until they choose a final
frequency.

Subject: IRIN radio Somalia feedback
Dear Dan Henderson, Thank you for your feedback on our short wave service
for Somalia. Your report does appear to match what we broadcast that day!
From Monday 5 May 2008, we switched frequency to 7290 kHz on the 41m band
- as we have had zero feedback from Somali listeners (our target audience)
on the previous frequency. We will test for a further three days and hope
this one gets us where we want to be.
The service aims to provide humanitarian information and news to Somalis,
and to get more of their voices and views on air and into circulation.
Thanks and best wishes, Louise Tunbridge, IRIN Radio Coordinator, Nairobi,
Kenya.
