Completed And Ongoing Projects In the Indian Ocean

• Completed projects:  A water well has been dug; a 1½ mile security fence has been built around the site; earth anchors have been placed to support the towers and curtain antennas; a generator building, guard house, staff home, transmitter building and tool and equipment buildings have been built.  The first of three diesel powered generators has been placed and is now providing electricity.
• The towers and curtain antennas have arrived onsite, and the towers will be raised in the fall of 2008.  The fourth antenna to Madagascar will also be raised later in this year. 
• The three 100,000 watt transmitters are now being built in Mesquite, Texas.  They are digital-ready, and when digital is in use they will provide an FM quality signal and be capable of 4 simultaneous broadcasts.
