Bravo Martin, richtig erkannt!

This from Rich and Kathy McDonald, back in the saddle in Bukavu,  
Congo DR:

"Though we're still getting over the air travel and colds, Becky and  
I got
the Short wave on the air today at 2:15 PM, working gradually up to 1010
Watts. Then backed off to 900 watts to be conservative. Everything  
seems to
work just right!!

Early this morning we got a phone call from Gen. Dunia in Baraka  
asking if
ours was a technical outage or what. We shared how HCJB had us bring the
transmitter for repairs, that we had just returned, and hoped to be  
on the
air that day. Very pleased, he thanked us for the Bible tracts we had  
sent
him such as the one we wrote, "... juu ya Amani," Eternal Peace. We  
promised
to send him more Bible study materials.

All the team worked like family today, coming up with lists of  
listeners who
had called in during our absence, stating how much Radio Kahuzi means to
them.

The director of the National Radio in Uvira near Bujumbura called  
many times
indicating Radio Kahuzi was the only way they have had all these  
years, and
now to complete their great outreach into the territories and  
countries to
the South and East with the Bukavu news via our FM and Short Wave  
signals.
So they and the population are very, very happy today to be back in  
the know
again!

The Radio Kahuzi transmitter is fixed and on the air, presumably  
still on
nominal 6,210 and still with same sched. I never had my hoped-for  
interview
with Rich and Kathy as Rich was sick with the flu almost the entire time
they were here in Southern CA.
