Radio station to be established<\/p>\n
FAKFAK, Irian Jaya: The state-owned Indonesian Broadcasting
\nSystem (RRI) is planning to build a 10-KWH radio broadcasting
\nstation this fiscal year in Pasir Putih village, 10 km east of
\nhere.<\/p>\n
The project, to be funded by the Japanese government, was
\nestimated to cost Rp 6 billion, Fakfak RRI station chief Bahrun
\nSiregar was quoted by Antara as saying here yesterday.<\/p>\n
Siregar said a team from the Film, Television and Radio
\nDirectorate General and two Japanese technicians had surveyed the
\nsite for the station.<\/p>\n
He said the local government had set aside a 6.2 hectare site,
\nwhich is to contain an 100-meter high antenna, a building for a
\ndiesel generator and several staff houses. The station would use
\nan 100-watt FM stereo radio transmitter.<\/p>\n
Siregar said the old local radio station would be maintained
\nfor use in emergencies, particularly if the new station had
\ntechnical problems.<\/p>\n
From next month, he said, people in Fakfak, Kaimana and Mimika
\ncould expect to receive news and other information from the
\nstation.<\/p>",
