The e-mail address of Radio Hage is: radiohagesom@gmail.com . An impressive list of active radiostations in Somalia as of Apr 2009, edited by Australian radio amateur Sam Voron. This unruly country has a size bigger than Spain and Portugal together, but only a population of about 7 million. There are just two stations on shortwave, but 50 on FM as follows from NW: Autonomous Somaliland: 3, Puntland: 19, Galmudug: 1, Central Somalia: 5, Mogadishu area: 18, South Somalia: 2 and SW Somalia: 2.

(Petersen, Schulze and Wiespointner). They sent me a partly detailed card (time missing) from the Bergheim/Germany address in three weeks for return postage and a recording on CD. According to v/s Baldur Drobnica, there still is no direct postal route available into Somaliland. (Kuhl in DXplorer, Apr 25)
