(Ian Baxter-AUS, SW TX site shortwavesites wwdxc BC-<strong>DX</strong> Aug 30)<br />

The hexagon system at Taldom can be assumed to be for 261 kHz, as the site<br />

seems not to have any other system for LW except the stand alone mast in<br />

the NW for 153 kHz. In the hexagon system a wire is strung from the top of<br />

each outer mast to the center mast and another wire is strung from the top<br />

of each outer mast to both of its neighbouring outer masts, forming a mat.<br />

Each wire seems to have two small isolators close to its attaching point.<br />

Each mast is guyed at four levels in three (four for the centre mast)<br />

vertical planes. All this from pictures taken at ground level. The TPC<br />

chart says the maximum height is 850 feet.<br />

RWANDA Kigali SW site - Google Earth Enquiry.<br />

I am wondering if anybody has previously located the DW Kigali site in<br />

Rwanda or the national broadcaster's SW broadcast site? I've been looking<br />

with Google Earth but can't find it. The area is in High resolution so if<br />

it actually exists in Kigali it should be there.<br />
