======================

The transmitter site is most probably "New Site". Jeremy Groce of SRS kindly
advised me
the location of "New Site" as follows:
---quote---
The SPLM has a sort of base at what is commonly referred to as New Site,
just southeast of a village called Narus.  This is in Eastern Equatoria
region of southern Sudan, just over the border with Kenya, about halfway
between Lokichoggio (Kenya) and Kapoeta (Sudan).
---unquote---

If the Voice of New Sudan qth is "New Site", that's also the home of Radio
Peace.
Let's keep our ears on 9310 kHz.
