We have encountered serious damage to one of our Thomson transmitters in Bonaire due to an invasion of rats! We now have a problem in the high tension PSM part of the transmitter and spare parts have to come from Switzerland. We expect that repairs will take 3-5 days. For that reason, the following transmissions have been temporarily moved to Greenville, NC, USA:
0159 - 0257 UTC RNW Spanish on to Caribbean on 6165 kHz
0259 – 0327 UTC RNW Dutch to South America Northwest on 6165 kHz
2200 – 2227 UTC RNW Dutch to South America on 15315 kHz
The photos in the Media Network Weblog show the remains of a rat and the damage to the transmitter. If you're squeamish, you may wish to avoid looking at this story!
