Hello All!
In compliance with a government request, HCJB World Radio plans to
relocate its international transmitter site at Pifo, Ecuador, just east
of Quito. Ecuador's Civil Aviation headquarters recently announced
that a new Quito airport will be constructed near Pifo. HCJB has owned
the 110-acre transmitter site for which the station is negotiating for
government compensation. The site houses 11 transmitters, as well as
32 antenna systems and towers.
HCJB President Ron Cline calls the relocation a huge job of up to four
years, but says the government's decision is no disaster for HCJB. He
says, "God has a great plan for us." He says HCJB will study how to
best continue gospel radio broadcasts worldwide, and that relocation
will allow ministry reorganization in light of new opportunities
worldwide.
For a complete report please tune in to the DX PARTYLINE this Saturday
with Ken MacHarg.
