used for transmission of 1540 kHz, on the left - for something else. Now<br />

they decided to synchronize and combine both for 1540 kHz transmission, so<br />

as to get them omnidirectional. And, of course, to install new groundings<br />

but to put the wires underground this time to prevent further thefts.<br />

They are also doing a renovation inside of the TX building (see pics<br />

6,7,8).<br />

The power of the transmitter is supposed to be 50 kW, (pic 9) enough to<br />

cover the whole area of the Bahamas archipelago (700 islands). The antenna<br />

near the transmission building is used to receive signals from the studio,<br />

which is about 7.5 km away.<br />

I also took a photo of their studio site where you can see the same type<br />

of antenna. (pic. 10) like near the TX building of ZNS-1 (pic11). The<br />

frequency to send signals to and from is very low - 460 kHz. That I was<br />

told.<br />

The current address of the studio is: Harcourt (Rusty) Bethel Dr., (see<br />

pic 12). The address is the former 3rd Terrace, which is associated with<br />

the TX site of the 1540 kHz Station ZNS-1 (WRTH 2010). But it's not true.<br />

(Bahamas now <strong>BC</strong> studio house at 25 04 19.51 N 77 20 00.54 W )<br />

The Tx site is about 7.5 km down south in an area called South Beach<br />

(see pic. 13).<br />

25 00 14.57 N 77 21 01.85 W<br />

<br />

The address of former ZNS-2 AM Station is: South Beach Harold Pong, in the<br />

same area but a bit to the NorthWest (pic 14).<br />
