This item is taken from the March newsletter of the National Association of
Shortwave Broadcasters:

SRI's Ulrich Wegmuller explained at the closing plenary session of HFCC in
Dubai that his station will be ending its shortwave broadcasts at the end of
October 2004. At that time, SRI's programs will be transmitted only via
Internet. As a result of SRI's move to end shortwave broadcasts for the time
being, the station's only remaining transmitter in Switzerland (in Sottens)
will be idle, and its owner - Swisscom - is willing to sell the transmitter
whole or as spare parts. It's an ABB 500-kilowatt, type SK55 C3-P, operating
from 5.9 to 26.1 MHz with a PSM modulator and Dynamic Carrier Control (DCC).
The unit was built in 1989.

Anyone seriously interested should contact Media Network at Radio
Netherlands via who will pass on the enquiry.
