up. If we continue to operate without them the transmitters eventually are
damaged. We are at our wits end trying to solve the problem as we have
spent every available financial resource and still do not have a solution.

Dear Sir, 05 April 2006
I am writing in response to your reception of our radio broadcast.
That is in fact our frequency that you picked up. The signal is sent to us
from the States then routed through us after we've applied our station
I.D. to broadcast to the island. The Frequency you heard (4319 kHz) is our
nighttime frequency from 2100 to 0900 UT. Our daytime freq. is 12579 kHz.
(...) Since I've been here on the island I have had to work very little
with the radio since it work very well and requires little maintenance (so
far).
(...) My primary role here is to insure x-mission of the incoming channels
and of our local live radio shows to the rest of the island.
I'm glad you enjoyed receiving us and wish you well with your hobby.
