PARAGUAY 9734 RNacPRG. SW inactive for two years due to damaged
transmitter tube. Their replacement to cost USD 10,000. Without that money
there is no hope of return to SW.

Original comment in Italian: "La onda corta da 2 anni non funziona per la
rottura della valvolona del TX, 9734 kHz cambiarla costa 10000 $$$dollari
... senza tale apporto economico non ci sono speranze per un ritorno sulle
onde corte."
