DIG Digita Oy belongs to TDF - France. (wb)
The Finnish government has granted (June 21) a broadcasting licence for
transmissions on short and medium wave from Pori, Finland. The recipient
is
Digi Waves Oy (Ltd), a subsidiary of Digita, Finland, Digita corporate
information says. The government office for broadcast licences had
announced the licence for application in May.
Pori was built in the mid 80s by YLE. Since YLE discontinued its
broadcasts from Pori, no one had been a licence holder for any possible
services from that station. YLE had no licence requirement as its
operations are governed by law.
The granting of a licence as such does not, repeat not, mean that some
broadcasts would start immediately, or even later, or at all. It only
makes it possible for the licence holder (Digi Waves) to solicit for
customers, and creates a legal basis for any broadcasts the licence holder
could be able acquire. The departure of YLE had not changed the ownership
of the station (Digita), but broadcasts (if any) from the base needed a
new licence framework.

FRANCE/LIBYA I've been "busy" the last couple of days listening to the
Libyan transmissions from four senders. 15550 went off air at 2200 UT last
night and then the same transmission was heard via 11835 kHz (I don't know
if this frequency was on before 2200 or not). The one playing continuous
music on 15650 kHz also went off at 2200 UT. I earlier heard 11835 and
9590 kHz with Hausa but I think both went off at 2000 UT. 15550 kHz is
Voice of Africa in Arabic of course.
15650 kHz is on air again this morning with Libyan style music - it went
off at 1100 UT yesterday - then heard again already on air at 1730 UT. It
will be interesting to know where all of this is coming from!
