[HCDX]: TWR Bonaire

["Glen H. Kippel" <gk-dx@xxxxxxxx>]

The new "Trans World Radio" magazine says that TWR Bonaire will turn off
their 500-kW 800kHz transmitter later this year.  It will be replaced by
a 100-kW solid-state XMTR (manufacturer unknown, but Continental likely)
and a 4-tower directional array, to cover primary target areas of Cuba,
Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and the Amazon region.  The reason is
to reduce operating costs, as the 500-kW rig uses LOTS of electricity.
