Email from Finland regarding Radio Hage Somalia short wave.
17 April 2009.
Hi Sam,
I've been reading your excellent website.
Do you know if Radio Hage at Galkayo has any broadcasts on shortwave during local Somali evening hours?
I'd love to check if the signal reaches me here in Finland.
73,
Jari Savolainen

Hello Jari,
There is no evening broadcast from Radio Hage.
However a copy of your interest is simultaneously going to the Radio Hage director so that he will see your email expressing interest to receive Radio Hage Somalia in Finland.
I imagine that one day evening broadcasts will be possible which as you know is the time when reception of Somalia in both Europe and Australia is possible in the 43 metre band short wave.
73,

Hi Sam,
Many thanks for your kind reply.
Hopefully there's a chance to make an evening test transmission on 6915 kHz some night.
The 3.980 MHz frequency is rather hopeless here due to other stations interfering.
6.915 MHz might be good, but I guess broadcasters will start using also this portion of the band in the future.
If you forward also this message to Radio Hage, I'd like to send my greetings to all the staff there. Great job!
Kind regards,
Jari in Finland.
Hi Jari,
Thanks. I have done.
