INTERNATIONAL DX NEWS

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC Radio Minurca is now back on the freuency of 9900 kHz with
1 kW of power. (Smith via Cumbre DX).

NETHERLANDS Radio Netherlands has reached an agreement with the Pristina radio
station 'in exile', Radio 21, to broadcast two hours a day in Albanian on shortwave
from the RN transmitter site on the Flevoland polder. These transmissions have been
arranged through the Amsterdam-based Press Now, a grouping of organizations which
actively support the independent media in the Balkans. Broadcasts are scheduled at 
1830-2025 UTC on 9495kHz, beamed to south eastern Europe. The service is intended 
for the hundreds of thousands of Kosovar refugees in the region who are in desparate
need of information as they make plans for an eventual return home. The first 
transmission went out on Friday 12th June. Radio Netherlands is not responsible for 
the content of the Radio 21 programmes, which are prepared by Radio 21 journalists
and sent to Radio Netherlands over a modem link. Radio 21 was on the air from 
Pristina for more than a year as a Web-only radio station, having been refused a 
broadcast licence by the Serbian authorities. On the night of March 23rd 1999, their 
premises were destroyed by the Serbs, and the staff of Radio 21 were among the first
to flee the country. A limited service has resumed on the Web at www.radio21.net but
this shortwave service means that Radio 21 can now reach many more people. (Media
Network staff via E-mail).

PERU RadioDifusora Paraton, which broadcasts from Huarmaca, has moved from 6676 kHz
to 6955.5 kHz. The station has been heard also in Germany by Harald Kuhl on 23rd June.

FREE ADMITTANCE

Radio Netherlands Media Network is launching a contest to find the most popular
"Memory of the Millennium", a station which won't make it into the next century but 
which stands out as a major contributor for this century nearly gone. Stations like 
WNYW New York, or the virtual station NDXE that never was. Or what about KYOI, Radio 
South Atlantic, Radio Moscow, or Radio Berlin International? Ideas are welcome to 
media@rnw.nl. The winner will be selected in September and will receive a great new 
book about radio history. (Media Network staff via E-mail).
