[later] Ms. Min Sun to Bob Hill.
The 9545 [sic, rather 9541.55] kHz would not propagate so well right now
due to atmospheric conditions. We also had a technical fault in the dual
frequency transmitter (which was on 5020 kHz) owing to the antenna
physically breaking.
We are in the process of getting it back up to 5020 kHz and making a few
technical changes ... as we are very far away from anything here, probably
looking in the next two weeks before we are back!
