[DX] Sudan - Radio Peace and SIRS



Radio Peace, Nuba Mountains, Southern Sudan.
Thanks to Andy Sennitt in HCDX leading me to the right way.
I did some research in the internet about this station and found
some sites. I also contacted various religious groups involved in
setting up the station. The replies were, so to say, short-worded,
but it seems the station on 4750  (1kW) is located in Southern Sudan.

Hi Jari,

     Radio Peace is a new shortwave outreach of the SPLA (Sudan People's
Liberation Movement).  Our
 engineers helped them to construct the station.  We will be back in touch
with you regarding QSL infor-
 mation.  Thank you for the report from Finland!

                                                                  Blessings,
                                                          Mr. Kelly Coleman
                                                          Radio Free Sudan

In addition, I got some info from Southern Sudan, that there is a
50kW transmitter (shortwave I think) under construction very near
the Radio Peace installation. My source describes it as "South
Sudan Government" station. I'm unable to contact him at the moment
to get more detailed information. I wonder if this will be the planned
SIRS (Sudan Independent Radio Service) to replace the Sudan Radio
Service transmissions from various relay sites. See
