Dhivehi Rajjeyge Adu – from the Maldives, the programme from the tropical country in the Indian Ocean, which has been broadcast for a few weeks on 1,449 kHz via a new mediumwave transmitter, was kindly confirmed to me by the project manager. Reception is most likely to be successful at 0028 UT and for the national anthem at 0100 UT, is anything but easy due to strong transmitters from the BBC and Saudi Arabia. The Maldives are now my 201th confirmed BC broadcasting country (according to EDXC list), the first new country in three years.
