1341 A site which is believed to house the array used for CRI broadcasts
to the Philippines was located by Alan Davies. The array has four towers
and is located NW of Canton City. Alan writes: I think the Google Earth
image is probably of Guangdong Province Transmitting Station 522, which
according to Chinese sources is located at Liantang Village, near Xinhua
Town in Huadu District of Guangzhou Municipality (Huadu used to be known
as Huaxian). Station 522 was originally built with Hungarian assistance in
the late 1950s. Various Chinese-language Internet sources suggest it's
probably the site from which CRI is transmitted on 1341 kHz for the
Philippines [4 mast directional installation, wb.]. It's also used for
coverage of the Guangzhou area by Guangdong Satellite Broadcasting Station
648 kHz, CNR-1 (Voice of China) 756 kHz, and Zhujiang EBS 1062 kHz. - The
coordinates shown are 23 24 23 N 113 14 20 E.

CONGO D.R. Radio Kahuzi (Bukavu, Congo DR) will temporarily be off the
air as Rich and Kathy McDonald (station managers/operators) travel as
guests of HCJB World Radio to the National Religious Broadcaster's
convention in Orlando, Florida. HCJB has been Radio Kahuzi's partner for
equipment since 1991. HCJB has chosen to honor the McDonalds for their
years of faithful missionary radio service, and will present them with a
special award February 19 at their HCJB Global Dinner. From Florida the
Shortwave will be making the journey with them to HCJB's Engineering
Center in Elkhart, IN for repairs. Later, they will make a visit to HCJB's
headquarters in Colorado Springs then on to visit their home office and
the Smiths (Barbara and Harold) in San Marcos, CA before heading home
March 5.
Presumably the transmitter will be up and operating later in March. I will
try and visit the MacDonald's and Smiths during the San Marcos visit as
that is only 25 min from my house. Perhaps I can do a special article on
Radio Kahuzi right from the "horse's mouth", so to speak.

Checks here today confirm that Danmarks Radio's longwave transmitter on
243 kHz went silent last night as expected.
The last operating Danish MW transmitter - Kalundborg 1062 kHz - is now on
its reduced schedule.
1062 was carrying navigational warnings at 1706 tune-in until 1716 UT. The
transmitter stayed on for a further 10 minutes with a Danish pop music
programme, until going off abruptly at 1726 UT.
