BREAKING NEWS: Vanuatu Back on after cyclone
« on: March 20, 2015, 1131 UTC »
Just noted in the last hour or so:

7259.95 kHz - Vanuatu back on with a fairly good signal, first noted at 0950 UT. Squashed by CRI's Japanese service at 1100.

3945 kHz - Faded in around 1030 UT, but a weak signal so far.

Both frequencies in parallel and carrying information on cyclone mopping up operations and music.

Also, check out this link - a R. Australia interview with the R. New Zealand transmission engineer, reporting from Port Vila on the current communications situation with the station's antennas.

I've just published some more information on my website which may be of interest.

Hopefully these signals can be heard in the US, too! However, the station MAY be operating on reduced power.
