Radio Peace, Nuba Mountains, Southern Sudan. Thanks to Andy Sennitt in HCDX leading me to the right way. I did some research in the internet about this station and found some sites. I also contacted various religious groups involved in setting up the station. The replies were, so to say, short-worded, but it seems the station on 4750 (1kW) is located in Southern Sudan. Some links to the pages about Radio Peace: --------------- PPF: http://www.persecutionproject.org/resources/radios/radios.htm
And here's their reply to my reception report: ---quote--- Hello Jari, Yes, this is our Radio program - Radio Peace - broadcasting from transmitter located inside southern Sudan. Our website is www.persecutionproject.org. Thanks, Golda Atkins PPF Administrative Coordinator ---unquote--- --------------- BFO (Blessings for Obedience) Radio Free Sudan site: Propagation models for sw station in Sudan (using 3.2 MHz) http://www.bfosouth.org/bfosouth/rfs/propagation_models.htm And here's their reply to my reception report: ---quote--- Hi Jari, Radio Peace is a new shortwave outreach of the SPLA (Sudan People's Liberation Movement). Our engineers helped them to construct the station. We will be back in touch with you regarding QSL infor- mation. Thank you for the report from Finland!

My source describes it as "South Sudan Government" station. I'm unable to contact him at the moment to get more detailed information. I wonder if this will be the planned SIRS (Sudan Independent Radio Service) to replace the Sudan Radio Service transmissions from various relay sites.
