"For us it is a test though. We have relaunched the station as an
experiment. Historically Luxembourg was the biggest commercial station, so
in the future who knows what will happen." The closure of the shortwave
frequency for the UK has not been announced on their website and it is
claimed in online forums that messages about this have not been allowed to
appear on their online forum which is pre-moderated.
Emails from Dan D'Aversa quoted on the Digital Spy forums says that the
transmissions were stopped for "technical reasons" and that they are
"currently working on various options." There were problems with the
transmission chain from Luxembourg to the leased transmitters in Nauen,
later switched to Wertachtal.
The French and German DRM broadcasts continue on 5990 and 6095 from RTL's
own site in Junglinster.

MAURITANIA 4845 R. Mauritanie, Nouakchott, off on 1st and today, 2nd
Mar; it's been rather poor on the // 783 kHz, but Tartus in SYR is, on the
other hand, a strong presence daily, so Nouakchott is hard to track.

MICRONESIA 4755.2 From the beginning of March, many Japanese DXers have
noted the new missionary radio station in Pohnpei island on 4755 kHz
around 0700-1100 UT. The station called themselves "PMA" (Pacific
Missionbary Aviation). The programs are in English, consisting of many
popular songs and Christian pops, sometimes with ID's about using
frequencies (FM 88.5 MHz and SW 4755 kHz), mail address, and phone number.
The transmitter seems to be in adjust, the signal is sometimes
interrupted, and modulation level is low. PMA is a Christian evangelical
organization serving Guam, Micronesia, and the Philippines, established in
1956. According to their web page
the radio station construction project is running in Pohnapei island in
Micronesia. The address is PMA Pohnpei is given as P.O.Box 517, Pohnpei,
FM 96941, FAX +1 691 320 2592, but they recommend all the correspondence
should be addressed to PMA Guam, P.O.Box 3209, Hagata, Guam 96932.
