FALKLAND ISL 550 BFBS This week I received official word that this MW
transmitter is running on 4 kW (reduced from 10 kW) due to age of TXer. No
official word as yet if the Bush Rincon site was the SW site used post
Falkland War (it may have been ???) //

GABON Re: Slideshow of Moyabi SW station Thanks to Andy Sennitt's Media
Network blog, Africa No. 1 now has a slideshow on its website of the
Moyabi transmitting station. This can be viewed at
(Colin Miller-CAN, shortwavesites yg via dxld)
As I said in dxld, the resolution is abysmal on the charts and the photos.
Can't even make out some of the text in English.
(Glenn Hauser, ibid.)
And right now the website does not connect at all One can recognize the
available antenna patterns, but hardly read the frequency ranges of each
system. Still it gives an interesting insight. Especially remarkable is
the circumstance that it are in fact two facilities, with the transmitter
from 1989 being an independent "Moyabi II" installation with own antennas,
not sharing anything (besides auxiliary things) with the original "Moyabi
I" plant.
And obviously "Moyabi II" is not in use at present, the antenna patterns I
saw when the page was loading do not match anything that is (or was
recently) on air. Reviewing the presentation of the "Moyabi I" antenna
installations could reveal whether indeed only two transmitters are
operational anymore or the antennas are the limiting factor. This concerns
the observation that ANO on 17630/15475 had been taken off when something
else was on air (NHK, music jamming for Libya).
