[Wolfgang Bueschel]

und hier einige Findings im web:

KYRGYZ REPUBLIC  1467  Zuerst wurde die neue SIDEFIRE Antenne mit den
vier Masten bei Google Earth im September 2013 (Foto vom Juni 2013) 
entdeckt, dann wurde noch gerätselt, wann dann der aus dem Westen gelieferte 
neue 500 kW Sender installiert ist.

Zielsetzung war der Jahreswechsel 2012/2013, jetzt hat es doch noch einige
Monate bis zur Indienststellung gedauert.

Dann gab es diese Meldung vom 26.Sept. 2013
> With the new transmitter, TWR will also expand the time it can spend
> broadcasting the Good News in the region's six key languages: Punjabi,
> Pashto, Sindhi, Urdu, Farsi, and Dari.

und der gleiche Text noch mal hier
http://www.twreurope.org/component/content/article?id=576:thirsty-souls


und andere Meldungen sprachen von einem "refurbished" transmitter ...
was wohl auf einem Missverständnis beruht ?

< KYRGYZ REP   [tentativelly]   Trans World Radio New MW transmitter in
Asia.

> "As TWR tests the potential for digital ministry, it continues to break

Moin,
gerade hörte ich das TWR Intervalsignal als ein akustisches Durchschimmern
durch (Radio) Maria hindurch. Laut Mauno Ritola und Günter Lorenz in
"Yahoo-MWOffsets" handelt es sich wohl um TWR PANI aus eventuell Bishkek. Da
könnte noch was gehen.
