The Cross Radio (Federated States of Micronesia) will not be returning to SW

Was time for me to check-in again with Sylvia Kalau (The Cross Radio), at Pacific Mission Aviation, over in Pohnpei Federated States of Micronesia. Asked if she had any plans to reactivate The Cross Radio, via SW. 

Here is her quick reply to me:
"Hello Ron - Greetings to you from one of the few Covid 19 free countries!! I’m sorry but we will not be broadcasting SW. The cost is too much for us. Thanks for your inquiry and understanding."

This is about what I expected to hear from her. No surprise here. Back in May, 2015, the station was hit by Typhoon Dolphin. Took them awhile to get FM back up again and running, but getting SW up and running never worked out for them. (Ron Howard via WOR io group)
