SRI LANKA/CHINA China Radio International (CRI) held a ceremony here on
Friday to celebrate the launch of a radio channel in the Sri Lankan
capital of Colombo. Sri Lankan Prime Minister Dissanayake Jayaratne told
the ceremony that China and Sri Lanka have been enjoying traditional
friendship. Jayaratne said in the era of "Global Village", the launch of
the radio channel will provide a new bridge for the two peoples to
understand each other.
Wang Gengnian, director general of CRI, said Sri Lanka is among the
countries where the CRI has the largest number of audience and receives
most letters. "With the support of our friends in Sri Lanka and China, the
Colombo FM channel will play an important role in promoting the bilateral
relationship and the two countries' cooperation in broadcasting," said
Wang.
Formally launched on April 23, the Colombo FM 102 channel broadcasts 19
hours of news and culture programs in Sinhala, Tamil, English and Mandarin
every day. The channel covers Western Province, the island's political,
economic and business center with an area of 3,700 sq km. Founded in 1941,
CRI aims at promoting understanding and friendship between the people of
China and people throughout the world. CRI's programs include news,
current affairs, and features on politics, economy, culture, science and
technology.

TURKEY 21125 OHR signals now also from Turkey.
Zu den Ueberhorizontradaren der Briten auf Zypern und Russen gesellt sich
ein weiteres System aus Antalya/Tuerkei. Es sendet ebenfalls 50 Pulse pro
Sekunde und ist daher fuer Funkamateure nicht vom Zypern-Radar zu
unterscheiden, da es aus der gleichen Richtung kommt. Nur die
Bundesnetzagentur mit ihrem Peilnetz kann den Sender ermitteln. Er sendete
am 12. Juli um 08.30 Uhr auf 21.125 MHz mit einer Bandbreite von 10 kHz.
