oadcast from near Parakou, Benin.
Rev. Sangho shares that "partnerships are being formed with several
individuals, churches, missions and organizations that have been waiting
and praying for this opportunity to come and air the Word of God through
radio." A group of African writers are already hard at work on scripts and
translation, preparing programs for the new Benin station. FM stations can
be heard in several large cities of West Africa, but often the signal
fades just outside suburban areas. The new AM outlet will fill the gap.
"I want to express my personal appreciation to all of you who have been
praying for this project in Benin," says Stephen Boakye-Yiadom, TWR
international director for Africa. Please pray for the installation of an
AM antenna, completion of the building and shipping and installation of
the transmitters.

As I remember, some weeks ago it was a item how to get a QSL from Voz
Cristiana in Chile. Today I got a detailed QSL card in 36 days for a
reception on 15340 kHz. I sent my report to the UK office of CVC (P.O.Box
3040, West Bromwich, West Midlands B70 0EJ, UK), and they must have
forwarded my report to Chile, as the card was stamped there.
