[HCDX] Radio Vanuatu info



This info comes from an engineering source in Vanuatu.
Only one out of three Radio Vanuatu's shortwave transmitters
is working at the moment. It was off for couple of days since
16 September due to fault in the exciter power supply, but
should be on the air by now. Transmitter is rated 10kW but
runs around 8kW.

The schedule is (times UTC)
3945 1900-2100, 0500-1100
7260 2100-0500

The switch-over times from one frequency to another are "about"
as there is no remote control system functioning and station's tech
has to go to the transmitter site (10km from the town) and manually
change frequency and antenna system.
Audio might be a bit undermodulated due to audiofeed link problems.
