[HCDX] 50 kW transmitter at RNW Madagascar back on the air

["Andy Sennitt" <andys@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We now have three transmitters back on the air following the fire at the RNW
Madagascar relay station. The 50 kW transmitter was activated today. The
fourth transmitter, a 250 kW ABB rig, has suffered some heat damage and must
be repaired, which will take up to a week. Our Head of Distribution Jan
Willem Drexhage says that the Dutch word for the damaged components is
"hoogspanningsschakelaarbeveiligingselectronica" which he suggests would be
a good word for Scrabble, at least if you're playing it in Dutch :-)

There have also been some changes to which broadcasts are assigned to which
of the Philips transmitters. A revised schedule for all three transmitters,
effectively immediately, is in the Media Network Weblog.
