Re: [HCDX]: Gambia

["Dave Kernick" <intervalsignals@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I refer you to this item carried in BBC Monitoring "World Media" publication
in May 1999:

The following item was monitored on Gambia Radio and Television Services [on
648 kHz] 1800 gmt news bulletin on 19th April 1999.

"Due to improvement works being carried out on its border transmitter
station, GRTS Radio will cease to broadcast programmes on its usual 648
kilohertz mediumwave frequency for a two-month period, starting on Friday
this week. The interruption is to allow the installation of a new, more
powerful antenna system, which when completed will ensure that GRTS Radio is
heard audibly throughout the country on the 648 kilohertz frequency, as well
as in most parts of Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone and
Guinea-Conakry."

Regards,

Dave
