however, there has been an interruption

when CRI forced to stopp their Africa/NE broadcast relay service there at
Bamako Mali, .... and DXers told that the world last year.The four frequency management ladies of RTC requested the full program of

Chinese installed and maintained transmitter site that the CRI relay station
uses although, officially, RTV du Mali owns it and leases air time to CRI.
It's too bad that other countries don't have this kind of arrangement like
Botswana and Sao Tome and Madagascar. Too bad the Chinese could not have
kept the Meyerton, South Africa transmitter site going but sugar daddies are
hard to find."I think the ORTM (5995 and 9635 kHz) transmitter location is in Kati which
is around 50 kilometres away from Bamako. Once we talked about it in this
WOR group but I don't know when. If I remember well the conclusion was that
CRI's relay and ORTM's own broadcasting site is near to each others but not
exactly on the same place.
Yes, it is true that more and more such sugardaddies are needed to keep, as
mentioned, Meyerton and others. Sugardaddies, pick please up these
transmitter sites!!!Tibor Gaal
