(Lev Lytovchenko-CAN, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Nov 1) While visiting Nassau (New Providence Island in the Bahamas), I used the opportunity to take some photos of the TX sites of two AM Stations: 1540 kHz (ZNS-1) and 1240 kHz (ZNS-2). The latter one appeared to be a former AM station. I was told that it hasn't worked for about a year and there is now a plan to use the tower for FM transmission. So far the tower is used for TV only. (See the TV antennas on top of it in pic. 1). Regarding the station ZNS-1 (1540 kHz) it was much more interesting. It was there I met a radio engineer and he told me what had happened about two months ago (Aug 2010) on their antenna field. One night all the ground copper wires (hundreds of pieces of about 50m long each) were stolen by some guys. For the thieves it was quite convenient to do their job throughout the night because the transmission building is located about 150m from the antenna field, which looks like a deserted rural area. Then the copper wires were probably sold as scrap metal. There are two antenna towers: in the pics. 2,3,4,5 on the right one was file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX989.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:30]

used for transmission of 1540 kHz, on the left - for something else. Now they decided to synchronize and combine both for 1540 kHz transmission, so as to get them omnidirectional. And, of course, to install new groundings but to put the wires underground this time to prevent further thefts. They are also doing a renovation inside of the TX building (see pics 6,7,8). The power of the transmitter is supposed to be 50 kW, (pic 9) enough to cover the whole area of the Bahamas archipelago (700 islands). The antenna near the transmission building is used to receive signals from the studio, which is about 7.5 km away. I also took a photo of their studio site where you can see the same type of antenna. (pic. 10) like near the TX building of ZNS-1 (pic11). The frequency to send signals to and from is very low - 460 kHz. That I was told. The current address of the studio is: Harcourt (Rusty) Bethel Dr., (see pic 12). The address is the former 3rd Terrace, which is associated with the TX site of the 1540 kHz Station ZNS-1 (WRTH 2010). But it's not true. (Bahamas now BC studio house at 25 04 19.51 N 77 20 00.54 W ) The Tx site is about 7.5 km down south in an area called South Beach (see pic. 13). 25 00 14.57 N 77 21 01.85 W The address of former ZNS-2 AM Station is: South Beach Harold Pong, in the same area but a bit to the NorthWest (pic 14). 25 00 22.19 N 77 21 06.60 W (Lev Lytovchenko-CAN, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Nov 1) BONAIRE Frequency change of Radio Netherlands Worldwide in Dutch 0100-0127 NF 6195*BON 250 kW 341 deg to NoEaAM, ex6190 * co-ch BBC in Pashto (R BULGARIA DX MIX News, Ivo Ivanov, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Nov 9) BOSNIA Serbian International TX site Bijeljina, Bosnia. 17 curtain antennas at location 44 42 02.39 N 19 09 54.10 E non-directional Quadrant antenna at 44 41 48.41 N 19 10 14.67 E file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX989.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:30]
