ADVENTIST  WORLD  RADIO

New Relay Service for Adventist World Radio

Adventist World Radio has just commenced the usage of a new relay  
service.
The station is located in the Middle East and the new relays  
commenced a few
days ago at the beginning of August.

As has been announced in news releases from several other organizations,
Merlin in England has taken out a management contract with United  
Emirates
Radio in Abu Dhabi, effective August 1.  This station is located at Al
Dhabayya and it contains four shortwave transmitters at 500 kW, each of
which is capable of operating at half power.

This large shortwave station in the Gulf region was established in 1985
using BBC transmitters made in Switzerland.  The huge antenna farm at Al
Dhabayya contains 41 fixed antennas and two rotatable units, thus  
ensuring
excellent shortwave coverage in all directions.

The introductory AWR schedule from Al Dhabayya shows the usage of all  
four
transmitters in services beamed to Africa and Southern Asia, with  
each unit
operating at 250 kW.  It is anticipated that this schedule of five hours
daily will be markedly increased with the commencement of the new
Transmission Period in October.
