Trans World Radio Announces Antenna Upgrade to North Africa

Trans World Radio (TWR) is pleased to announce the successful completion of a major antenna upgrade to North Africa. The upgrade greatly improves both coverage and signal strength, increasing the number of potential listeners in the region to 40 million people.

Prior to the antenna modification, TWR’s signal to many North African people groups, particularly those in the Northern Atlas mountains, was nearly indistinguishable above the interference caused by electromagnetic radiation from growing cities. Today, the reception is loud and clear. The transmission is now beamed towards the Atlas Mountains in a concentrated beam, as opposed to the earlier, wider-angle signal towards an area where there was not much interest in reception. The transmitter power for 1467 kHz remains at 1000 kW.

Says one listener in North Africa: “The signal is better than before. I know that this improvement not only helps us hear the Gospel message, but also allows many more in all of North Africa to listen to these programmes now.”

Trans World Radio broadcasts to North Africa in Arabic and Berber dialects such as Sous, Tamazight, Tarifit and Kabyle.
