VANUATU The following was posted to the NZ Radio DX League's 'DX Dialog'
group yesterday by Paul Ormandy:
A ham friend in Vanuatu Rod YJ8RN, does some maintenance work for Radio
Vanuatu. Here is a brief summary of current transmissions.
"Radio Vanuatu, VBTC, has 1125 kHz Vila (working), 1179 kHz Santo (off
air), 3945 kHz (Working) and 7260 kHz (working).
In the past they dual freq TX with 3945 kHz night and 7260 kHz day. When
that died I did it for about 18 months with 400 W AM.
Then they got 2 single freq solid state TX, about 6 kW. The 7260 kHz was
out for a year and 3945 kHz since the end of last year.
I was trying to get the 811 amp going to do the TX for them again, but they
got both working about 2 weeks ago and now run both channels simultaneously
24hrs/7d. The modulation is off from 10pm till 6am local."
I queried the final sentence with Paul, given Ron Howard's overnight
receptions.
He adds: "Rod means open carrier, i.e. they leave the transmitter on but
run no audio ... However, it seems they just leave a PC running music from
what you say."
