-Dear Mr. Wolff

As you proburly know the AM TX at Akraberg has been off air fore some 
months. The reason was that the old ABB 200KW transmitter did brake 
down, with a majur failiuar on the modulation section, and it was to 
expencive to repear it. And when the transmitter allso was rather 
un-efficient, a decition was taken to order a new one.

The new configuration will be one 100KW main TX + 50KW back up TX. Both 
from Thomson. Medio of August the back up TX was put on air temporarly, 
untill the poject to install the main TX is done.

The Faroese Telecom company is the contractor on this project, and they 
allso run's the AM TX site. I have therfore forwarded your mail to them, 
and asked them to take care of that the modulation are within the 
standard ITU rouls.

I must say so sorry for the unnecessary noice we are generating on 
Akraberg 531 kHz.

The status is, that the TX wich is on air now, is a emergency 
transmitter, wich are lent from Thomson. We are been told that the TX 
need some serius adjustment, and the Thomson people have admit, the 
problem.

The solution will be, that Thomson are deliver a brand new TX - propper 
adjusted from the factory, and it is under installation right now, these 
days.

The whole re-built Akraberg station will be finnish aprox the 16th of 
December this year.

We are indeed looking forward to get all these temporarily probolem 
solved for good :)

I hope you are understanding our situation.

I have further more forwarded Your mail and messurement to The Faroese 
Telecom

Best regards
