Managing short wave broadcasts from Ascension Island

*Radio World* reports on the remote Atlantic Relay Station that transmits
critical radio broadcasts to millions in Africa and beyond

A six-mile stretch of volcanic rock in the middle of the South Atlantic
Ocean is home to the BBC’s Atlantic Relay Station.

Now managed and operated by Encompass Digital Media on behalf of the BBC
World Service, the stations’ six powerful shortwave transmitters on
Ascension Island beam program in a dozen or more languages to some 30
million listeners in north, west and central Africa.

The shortwave transmitters include two 250 kW Marconi BD272 transmitters
originally installed in 1966 (and still in daily use) and four 250 kW RIZ
K01 transmitters, which are also capable of transmitting in Digital Radio
mode.
