-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
