BC-DX TopNews WWDXC #945 BC-DX 945

told me that IBB would have liked more airtime for Creole via Bonaire but
the facilities were not available at the times they wanted due to other
commitments. So I am wondering where Sergei got different information
from. It makes my job very difficult when misleading information about RNW
is circulated but I don't know where/who it came from.

Already now, with Greenville-B still being operational.
I just took a quick look at the Sackville usage, as an example between
0000 and 0200 UT: Three transmitters Radio Canada International, two
transmitters China Radio International. So hardly possibilities left
there. And Bonaire is fully in use at this time, too.
In this slot IBB needs two transmitters for VOA Creole, three transmitters
for VOA Spanish and another three transmitters for Radio Marti. Altogether
eight ones, 100 percent of the Greenville-B capacity.
Good luck finding these eight transmitters elsewhere! I think it's simply
impossible, unless they accept using transmitters in Germany, France
and/or the UK for some of these eight frequencies. Or, of course, unless
they substantially cut back this affair.
