(Brian Alexander-PA-USA, hcdx Apr 2) The situation with Greenville has not been definitively approved. At the latest HFCC meeting, the plan to close it had only just been announced. It is likely take some time before IBB is in a position to start negotiating replacements. In the meantime, there's always a chance that the decision is reversed or delayed. BTW I am still waiting for Sergei to tell us where he got the information that IBB has "a priority over every other station - including RNW." That contradicts discussions I had with my colleagues in Programme Distribution just after we started relaying the VOA Creole service at 1200 UTC, who file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX959.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:01]

told me that IBB would have liked more airtime for Creole via Bonaire but the facilities were not available at the times they wanted due to other commitments. So I am wondering where Sergei got different information from. It makes my job very difficult when misleading information about RNW is circulated but I don't know where/who it came from. (Andy Sennitt, ibid., dxld Apr 1) Already now, with Greenville-B still being operational. I just took a quick look at the Sackville usage, as an example between 0000 and 0200 UT: Three transmitters Radio Canada International, two transmitters China Radio International. So hardly possibilities left there. And Bonaire is fully in use at this time, too. In this slot IBB needs two transmitters for VOA Creole, three transmitters for VOA Spanish and another three transmitters for Radio Marti. Altogether eight ones, 100 percent of the Greenville-B capacity. Good luck finding these eight transmitters elsewhere! I think it's simply impossible, unless they accept using transmitters in Germany, France and/or the UK for some of these eight frequencies. Or, of course, unless they substantially cut back this affair.
