transmissions beamed specifically to North America. Has it been 10 years? I
can't recall.

It was at the same time their govmt. made the sweetheart deal with
the christian group and sold/leased? them their newly renovated Darwin
transmitter site for way too little money. They also made a bunch of
budget cuts.

Judging from some transcripts I'd saved off the web it looks like 1997.
Longer ago than I would have guessed.
