[HCDX]: 9070 & 12140 USP, Fiji going, going.......



Forwarded message corrected:The following message appeared on this mailing
list recently.(sent by me actually). 

FIJI: The University of the South Pacific, Suva, still has broadcasts of
lectures on 9070 and 12140 USB
Mondays-Fridays at 2200-0700. They are simulcast on the same frequencies by
network stations in Niue, Western Samoa, and Tuvalu. Thus it is impossible
to determine, from a considerable distance, which station you would actually
hear. Moreover, the Telecom authorities ordered the stations to reduce power
from 150 to 50 watts only. The shortwave will be supplemented by satellite
at the end of this year or early next year. Address- USP, Extension
Services, P.O. Box 1168, Suva, Fiji (Maarten van Delft, DSWCI Shortwave
News)

Correction:

In the original message the phrase "This HF part of the network will also
use satellite at the end of the year or early next year" was used instead of
"The shortwave will be supplemented by satellite at the end of this year or
early next year".The word *Also* seems to have been a stumbling block.
Maarten van Delft meant that the USP HF frequencies will not be used anymore
and the programmes of the USP will be available on Satellite only.

Maarten added in a letter that a part of the USP Network has been on
Satellite for more than 10 years and the last four *countries* (Fiji, Niue,
Western Samoa & Tuvalu) will join this network soon. The responsible
engineer made the following striking remark: ''No more HF, no more
headaches".

Regards,

Piet
