Micronesian station off shortwave for now
(Pohnpei) 4755 "The Cross" Got this reply to my question as to why they're currently not on shortwave:
Thanks for your email of interest, Dave. Because we do not have an engineer to help us target the atolls and islands of Micronesia with short wave, we are only able to broadcast FM at this time. When the Short wave is properly configurated and targeted for optimal listening in the islands, we will be back on the air again with short wave radio.
Kind Regards,
