replace the old worn-out transmitters at Adra shortwave station. A new tender
is now being discussed, and according to the company involved, it will take
about 6 months to install the new transmitters.

In addition to the existing listen-on-demand option at

future with those in charge with this matter to set up a direct audio stream
