Japan donates HF radio to tsunami victims http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/SODA- 7947J8?OpenDocument
A total of 200 portable radios were donated to villages in the Western and Choiseul provinces. The donation of radios came from Japan through the Honorary Consulate of Solomon Islands in Mr. Tsuguto Kitano. Mr Kitano is in charge of the Honorary Consul of Solomon Islands in Japan for 17 years since 1990. The people Japan kindly donated the 200 radios after learning the disastrous earthquake and tsunami that hit the Western parts of the country on April 02, 2007. They tried to do what they can do and were able to contact the Honorary Consulate of Solomon Islands in Japan. In Japan, there were lot of earthquakes also and the people there knew how miserable it was. Many people in Japan worry about the people who were suffering from the earthquake and tsunami that hit these two provinces. For that reason, the Honorary Consulate set up Disaster Council for the Earth and Tsunami as a gateway for the donors. After consideration with the people concerned, they decided to supply this useful emergency radio in case that similar situation will occur again. The radios were shared equally among the two provinces with 100 radios each. The radio can be used for 60 minutes using AM frequency, 40 minutes using FM frequency, and 15 minutes of light without dry battery by just one minutes of rotating the handle of the built-in power generator. It is very useful in remote places where dry cell batteries are not readily available. If in case a similar disaster is to happen again, the people can get information and warning at once from this radio. The people of Japan are hoping that these radios will ultimately serve its purpose for the people of these two provinces. ________________________ http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
