Hi Glenn, Further to my last news report here is a Radio New Zealand report and
also some information from a Ham Radio contact over there
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/401526/cook-islands-reactivates-am-transmitter
My ham contact over there tells me it is a 1 kW Nortel txer using a version of
a Marconi T type antenna end fed strung between two 25 metre tubular guyed
masts. He doubts whether it will be running at full power, though (Chris

Hi Glenn, Here is the latest news regarding Radio Cook Islands.
Radio Cook Islands have reactivated an AM630 kHz service from an old standby
transmitter with a mast of 25 metres located at Black Rock on the Island of
Rarotonga, on the 18th of October.
The mast and the main transmitter at Matavera were decommissioned on the 5th of
August and replaced with a FM service on 101 MHz.
An email received from the station manager Jeane Matenga said the old AM
standby transmitter was reactivated at the government`s request due to the poor
replacement FM coverage.
Best regards (Chris Rogers, Australia, Oct 19, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
