IBB moves mediumwave transmitters from Rhodes to Kuwait

The Broadcasting Board of Governors/International Broadcasting Bureau’s Office of Contracts intends to negotiate and award a non-competitive contract to Harris Corporation, Broadcast Communications Division, to re-commission and change the frequency of the Harris DX600 transmitter that IBB has relocated from Rhodes, Greece to Kuwait. Harris Corporation originally delivered and installed the same transmitter at Rhodes in 1995, and also provided three essentially identical (two were larger) transmitters at other IBB sites. The transmitter at Rhodes used to operate on 1260 kHz, but was taken out of service last year. In Kuwait, it will operate on 1386 kHz.
