Default PMA Micronesia soon back on 4755?

Thanks for posting Jari's tips, dxAce!

I've been watching for this one while on DXpeditions this year. I'll be back
at the WA coast later this month, and again for a full week at the Queen
Charlotte Islands in September. The latter DXpedition will be near the famed
Wullenweber Array receiving antennas used by the Canadian government. With a
lot of luck and good propagation, maybe I'll hear the PMA station.

Three years ago this month I had one of my best-ever medium wave DX
catches... V6AJ in Kosrae, Micronesia. It would be neat to catch this
country on shortwave, too.

-------
Our station has its official permit from the Department of Communications
&
Transportation, FSM National Government. Both FM and short-wave
transmissions have been on the air for testing purposes during the months
of
February and March 2007.

Since July 2007, the FM station is on the air permanently. The short-wave
station will be broadcasting the same program.

So possibly also SW 4755 will soon be back.
The logo on that page shows "The Cross" - maybe that
name is used as an ID.
Their current FM schedule seems to be 6 am - 12 pm
local (1900-1300 UT).

This is certainly very good news as Micronesia would be a NEW country on
the
NASWA Country List.
