Here is an update regarding the Israel Radio shortwave situation. The IBA
has
ruled that that the Director General did not have the authority on his own
to
end shortwave transmission.

At a meeting it was decided to continue SW for one more quarter year (hence
the
anomaly of March 31 as the persons involved do not know about HF frequency
schedules). During these weeks the matter of SW transmission will be
referred
to a meeting of the Members of the Broadcasting Authority.

So, SW will continue unchanged for the next 3 months. The two antennas
recently damaged in a storm will be repaired this week. The 2000 UT
transmission on 6280 kHz has been affected and instead of a curtain
antenna at 315 degrees (to Paris, London, New York) it has been on a
low gain Rhombic at 324 degrees (Scandinavia).
