For one thing the signal strength was much stronger than ever heard here
before (I think more than just good propagation); for another the
frequency in the past was normally slightly above 7190 kHz. Perhaps
Victor Goonetilleke in Sri Lanka can comment on this. In vernacular with
subcontinent singing; believe they played their choral National Anthem
(Sri Lanka Matha) at sign off.

1125 Medium Wave Transmission from Sri Lanka. For clients wanting to be
heard in Sri Lanka and southern India, a Medium Wave transmission is now
available through WRN Broadcast.
The 50 kW transmitter represents a cost effective method of reaching local
audiences in Sri Lanka during daytime and a far wider geographical area in
the evenings and early morning. A free test can be provided to clients
looking to trial the effectiveness of the transmitter prior to any formal
agreement.
For more information, please contact the Sales Department on
or call +44 20 7896 4026

WTFK? It's difficult to find any MW frequencies among all the FM domestic
broadcasting for SL in WRTH 2010. I do see one on 855 kHz for SLBC, with
20 kW, reactivated, at Irattaperiyakulam with the Wanni service; what's
that? Searching WRTH info only in print is of course not practical.
The comprehensive Radio Stations in Sri Lanka,
has everything in MHz except for kHz mentions of TWR 873 and 882; DW 1548
kHz, none of which are only 50 kW, but listed as 400 kW. It does not list
855 kHz.
Does WRN have a new MW transmitter there? Or is it one of these powered
down, or up to 50?

Ampara 855 [x693] kHz was an old channel in Eastern Ceylon in the 90ties,

1125 New 50 kW MW in Sri Lanka?
This one will be on 1125 kHz and was moved location and frequency from
somewhere else in Sri Lanka. They say the installation will be completed
next week and we can start to run tests.

It is out of Puttalam, where the MW TWR programmes come from. 50 kW on
1125 kHz.
