Some time ago, a friend of mine visited New Site, South Sudan. He hand-delivered my 9 March 2004 reception report to the staff at the Radio Peace (4750) transmitter site (which, I believe is some 10 km from New Site). In return he received a handwritten confirmation letter. That letter now arrived to my letterbox, mailed from outside Sudan. As the letter says, there is no e-mail neither postal service to the station. What I've heard, many people there use PO Boxes in Loki, Kenya, which is the frontier town before the border. It is about two hours drive from New Site. So there is a faint chance to get a letter through routing it "via Loki, Kenya". Here's what the letter says (two last names of the signer were a bit difficult to read). ------- "24th July 2004
