KUWAIT There has been a two year delay in installing a 600 kW medium
wave transmitter for US broadcasts to Iran. The $5.2 million project was
initially meant to be operational by May 2008. Existing medium-wave
transmitters in Kuwait can only reach a narrow band of the western portion
of Iran. Testing and final commissioning of the transmitter is scheduled
for May 2010 and the transmitter should be ready to go operational by the
autumn of 2010. The delays hurt US efforts to broadcast news and
information to Iran in crucial periods during the 2009 election and the
following civil unrest.

4025 Star Radio. On June 2 had a definite signal on the Perseus and
intermittent traces of audio at 0630 UT tune with the Wellbrook loop
pointed at Liberia ... nothing seen at 0530 UT so tonight will record from
0530 to 0715 UT (flying to NYC today). I suspect I would have done better
at 0600 UT. Even the visual signal indication faded quickly after 0700 UT.
