* GUAM:  A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear and QSL transmitter
number 5 at the AWR station on the island of Guam will be available early
in September as part of the annual listener contest in the DX program
"Wavescan".  In a modernization project, all four of the older shortwave
transmitters in the Guam facility of Adventist World Radio were removed and
replaced by five newer units that were obtained from South Africa.
Previously, each of the four older units was connected to its own specific
antenna.  However, with the installation of a new matrix switch, any of the
five new transmitters can be connected to any of the four curtain antennas.
 The last of the new transmitters, KSDA5, was installed earlier this year.

        It is planned that the schedule for the special broadcasts from
KSDA5 will enable this specific transmitter to be heard, not only in its
intended target areas of Asia, but also in Europe and the Americas and
beyond.   These special broadcasts will be on the air from Sunday September
5 through Sunday September 12 with programming in English.  All
international radio monitors, shortwave listeners and DXers are invited to
tune in to these special broadcasts from KSDA5 and to send reception
reports to the AWR address in Indianapolis.   These reception reports may
be submitted as part of an entry into the annual "Wavescan" DX contest
which runs throughout the month of September, or they may be sent as
separate items.  All genuine reception reports on these broadcasts from
KSDA5 will be verified with a specially endorsed QSL card.

        Here is the schedule for the special KSDA5 broadcasts, which will
be on the air in English from Sunday September 5 through Sunday September
12:-

        1330 - 1400 UTC 11980 kHz
        1600 - 1630     15235
        1630 - 1700     11975

        The only address for the specially endorsed QSL card is:-
                Adventist World Radio
                Annual DX Contest
