Laif FM almost back on air !

Finally, after 3 monthswaiting for parts to come from Australia, the transmitter for Laif FM in Papua New Guinea is working again and on test at the radio station's studio workshop.

There are a few more tests to run, then a four-wheel-drive vehicle to be hired to take the transmitter back up Mt. Passam. The, from the end of the vehicle track, a walk, carrying the equipment on up to the FM tower.

After months of frustration, station manager Tony Dua is very excited at the thought of
getting the radio station back on-air again - and to have spare parts to deal with any future lighting strikes !

Tony is a young leader in a lonely place and doing a difficult job - and there is now an attempt to help him join others for fellowship at a training retreat in the Solomon Islands.

The Solomon Islands are close to PNG but travel between them is not cheap. Tony's local expenses will be taken care of in Honiara, but his air ticket will cost 2430.00 Kina (USD 875.00, Euro 595.00, NZD 1140.00, AUD 970.00)
