Original announcement via Dan Ferguson, NASWA via Anker Petersen, DSWCI:

Dear Friends

Following a meeting of the Board of N.Z. Radio for the Print Disabled Inc.
on 2 Feb 2009, below is an extract from the Secretary's reply to my letter
of 26 January in which I discuss the possible closure of our shortwave
service.

"The Board of the NZ Radio for the Print Disabled considered all the facts
presented but came to the decision to cease broadcasting as ZLXA on 3935
kHz
forthwith. The main reason for this decision is the state of the valves on
the transmitter. We would need to renew the four valves (4/400c) at a cost
of approximately $3000 also the cost of power at $400 per month and an
annual licence of $700 combined makes this broadcasting service completely
unfeasible.

We are at this point in time trying to raise finance to replace the MW
transmitter which suffered damage during last year's storm.

The Board, though, has agreed to broadcast on 3935 kHz over a weekend from
5.00pm Friday 20th March through to Monday morning 23rd March 2009, (0400
20/3 - 1900 22/3 UTC), depending on the transmitter functioning for that
period.

This is the best that we can do to enable the many international DXers to
receive our transmission for one last time."

As you will appreciate, for an organisation reliant on grants and donations
to continue serving our listening community, the shortwave component is no
longer viable. Therefore, RRS will maintain local broadcasts on 1602 kHz
(2XA) and 107.3 MHz FM only.

Kindest regards & Best DX
