MADEIRA Madeira update Back in January 09, the folded monopole used for
531 kHz 10 kW at Pico das Eiras, Porto Santo island, was destroyed in a
storm. Being a tower of this type, it meant it could be used as a mast for
the VHF-FM antennae too, and it was indeed the case. A new tower for these
antennae was erected soon after that. This RTP-radio facility is located
west of the this island.
I have just been informed that the RTP administration decided not to
reactivate the MW outlet since full coverage is being accomplished by VHF-
FM.
Now it remains to be seen whether the Pico do Areeiro tx 603 kHz 10 kW,
Madeira island, has the same fate. The tower collapsed two days prior to
the recent sad events in Madeira when floods and mud slides destroyed
property and killed some 40 people. Pico do Areeiro is located north of
the capital, Funchal.

MYANMAR For the past week it seems to me that ALL the Myanmar stations
have had well above average reception. There are also some new
developments.
7185.75v Myanma Radio, checked from about 1315 to 1515 UT, March 14, 15
and 16, but noted off-the-air. Perhaps down for maintenance to fix the two
different audio feeds that I have heard being broadcast at the same time.
