4025 Liberia's Star Radio reactivates its shortwave service.
The Management of Liberian station Star Radio has announced the reactivation
of its shortwave service in the Country. Station Manager James
Morlu says the station has begun test transmissions on 4025 kHz. Mr Morlu
said he believes that, as the country strives towards its recovery
process, it's prudent to have a viable information dissemination channel
like shortwave.
The Star Radio Station Manager was speaking as the UN Refugee Agency UNCHR
symbolically transferred assets to several of its partners in Liberia
including Star Radio. Mr Morlu hopes the three motorcycles provided to
Star Radio will help enhance the work of some of its correspondents, but
said more was needed.

4025 Wanted to let you know that Star Radio is conducting tests on 4025
kHz. The transmitter I built is small, 2500 watts, but I tried to make up
for it with antenna gain, as the had specific areas they wanted to cover.
I didn't have to go to Monrovia, because the whole transmission system was
designed as a "kit". They all came to the factory and I took them step-bystep
thru the transmitter install, tower erection, and tuning the antenna
system.
Here are the details of the system. The transmitter is a Solid State Class
E modulated via a Pulse Width Modulator. Power out is continuously
adjustable from 0 to 2500 watts. The antenna is a "Bow-Tie" dipole, fed
with Open-Wire Line, and a Link-Coupled Antenna Tuning Unit. Antenna
height is approximately 50 feet. It was to be oriented broadside East /
West. I don't know the exact Geo coordinates. I'm going to get on the site
and look for reports on Star Radio. Please tell everyone I said Hi, and
thank them for the reports. Talk to you later.
