[Swprograms] Radio Slovakia to return to shortwave??

["Ted Schuerzinger" <fedya@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Notice the question marks in the subject line, please!  :-)

<http://www.slovakradio.sk/inetportal/rsi/core.php?page=showSprava&id=3242&lang=2>  
contains the following blurb:

<snip>

Culture Minister Interested in the Situation of Radio Slovakia  
International
Culture Minister Marek Madaric wants to allow Radio Slovakia International  
to broadcast again via shortwave. The broadcast was cancelled at the end  
of June due to the lack of funds. Radio Slovakia International needs  
921,000 euro to cover the cost of its shortwave broadcast.

For those who can understand Slovak better than I (I can recognize a lot  
of the Slavic roots, and have a pocket-sized Czech-German dictionary that  
helps out, but can't really read it that well), there's an article from  
SME:

<http://www.sme.sk/clanok.asp?cl=2876788>

The comments on the SME article, however, leave a lot to be desired.   
Also, the article mentions Slovaks abroad, so it's not clear whether just  
the Slovak-language broadcasts would be resumed.
