NIGERIA Thanks to Ian of SW TX site.
New GE imagery - Nigeria Abuja - Lugbe antenna is 120 meters away, and TX
house 320 meters away of the previously estimated new location coordinates
There is some cause for excitement today as for the very first time we get
to see the new Abuja - Lugbe 'Voice of Nigeria' SW transmission site
before it's actually hit the airwaves!!! Miracles do happen :-)
The coordinates are of course in the Current Excel File, but here's the
correct coordinates for the TX building. We see the two curtain arrays &
rotatable antenna - marvellous!

PAKISTAN The original mediumwave stations in Pakistan.
Much in the news these days is Pakistan. Located on the western edge of
what used to be British India, this territory, nearly one thousand miles
long and maybe five hundred miles wide, has featured prominently in
ancient historic events. Its own colorful history dates back some 4,500
years to what is known as the Indus Valley Civilization. Two ancient
cities, Harappa & Mohenjo-Daro, are just a pile of restored ruins these
days, but they tell of a remarkable level of social development way back
when civilization was young.
The main river system, the Indus with its five tributaries in the north of
the country, provides life-giving water to the entire nation; and we
should remember that the name Indus, which simply means river in the
original language, provided the original name for India itself. The five
rivers, they tell us, give us the name Punjab in the original language,
and that is the name of a major province in both Pakistan and India.
Many moons ago, we presented the story of the early wireless stations in
the territory that is now Pakistan, and they were located in the five
cities; Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Rawalpindi & Peshawar. That was way back
in the era of the 1920s.
