I finally found the site as posted in the myradio world and catches I posted the pictures as my ship sailed past it, on Jan 2, thanks to all and hope to view these closer. (Larry enroute to Guam, dxld Jan 3) Hello from Guam Island, First wish to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope our world of radio and DX improves for the coming year and decade. As you might have read, I was on Palau for the Holidays and did some looking for the relay station of WHRI or better known as T8WH. Despite the thoughts of locals there on Palau, and the comments it might been moved, I want to rest everyone's mind that it was found and seen; unfortunately for me, I saw it only after my captain picked up anchor and went out that side of the harbor near Koror. The antenna that the locals were thinking was Harvest Radio was a totally destroyed former Japanese antenna that was either damaged by a storm or someone who didn't want it in service. It must have been there a while, as it was very rusty and beyond use. Palau has a ham station you can rent and its located at the VIP Hotel, operated by George T88GN; bad part, if you try to get licensed locally, the office has moved. The good part, the address on the forms are still good, and costs a whopping $40. I loved it on Palau and for anyone else is worth the time to visit. 73's de (Larry n6hpx/mm Jan 4, swl at qth.net via dxld) See blog above for his photos of T8WH et al.

(Alok Dasgupta-IND, dxld Nov 4) SLOVAKIA Radio Slovakia International gets 5 year funding. Edwin Southwell wrote to me advising that he'd heard on-air that Radio Slovakia International had got future funding. I found the item, dated Dec 21, on the RSI website: SLOVAK TELEVISION AND SLOVAK RADIO SEAL SUBSIDY DEALS WITH STATE. Representatives of the state-run Slovak Television and Slovak Radio signed framework agreements with the Culture Ministry on Monday. The two media organisations will receive funds towards making programmes in the public interest. The deals were signed by Culture Minister Marek Madaric and the general directors of Slovak Television and Slovak Radio, Ivan Niznansky and Miloslava Zemkova for a period of five years. At least 10 million Euros per year will flow into Slovak Television, while Slovak Radio will receive 4 million Euros annually. The allocated funds will cover expenditures incurred by Slovak Television in the production of almost 400 programmes such as fairy tales, documentaries and films. Slovak Radio, in turn, will put the money towards making over 8000 programmes related to music, religion, education and documentary work. Support for broadcasting in six foreign languages via Radio Slovakia International is also included in the subsidy. (via Mike Barraclough-UK, dxld Dec 30) SOLOMON ISLANDS 5020 SIBC hrd Jan 8 from 0717 UT tune and recorded to 1600. At 0717 UT QRM from R. Rebelde was severe but thanks to the Perseus SDR's tunable passband and notching capability, decent audio could be captured under Rebelde's saturated audio covering 5015 to 5035. Highlights of this extended logging: At 1100 UT there was local news in En to 1109.5 and an SIBC ID by a woman at 1103 UT. A request pgm hosted by a woman ann in En and Pidgin followed w/ an Australian caller hrd at 1123 UT. The songs were very pleasant island instrumental and vocal pieces by seemingly local bands. At 1158 a woman ann ID'd as "... Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Happy Isles" fol by closing anmts in En and the Solomon Is. Nat'l anthem to 1200 UT. QRM was nil to slight in this time period (SINPO 44544), but adj ch QRM gradually worsened after 1130 UT, presumably from 5030 kHz. From 1200, BBC programming took over to 1600 UT tune out.
