CENTRAL AFRICAN REP Hank Zeck here at the HCJB Global Technology Center
here in Elkhart, Indiana.
Curt Bender and Dan Anderson and myself went to Central African Republic
in April of 2010 to set up two new shortwave stations.
One is in Boali for ICDI where they were currently broadcasting on 6030.
The new transmitter will broadcast on 3390 kHz during the evening hours. I
understand they were in the process of getting official permission for
this new frequency but we were able to do some test broadcasts with Lazy H
antenna at 1 kW.
The other station was for the government site at Bimbo near Bangui where
they currently have a Chinese built shortwave transmitter operating. We
used another 1 kW transmitter with Lazy H antenna from a small room at
this facility. The frequency there was 5035. The government was able to do
one test broadcast before we left at the end of April but they still
needed to put the airco in the room.

Hank, tnx for the first hand info, clearing up some contradictory info
from HCJB publicity. Please keep us informed about such details on any
further projects involving SW.
According to TDP
the original SW transmitter was a 100 kW Thomson from 1970, and then a
20 kW from 1980, with no 'year out' shown, tho it's been off the air
