Afghans Target Valleys With Shortwave on 12.20.2011 http://www.radioworld.com/article/afghans-target-valleys-with-shortwave--/154934 U.S. and Romanian troops, members of the team who successfully deployed a new province- wide short wave radio transmitter in Zabul, pose for a photo after completing installation of the antenna near Qalat, Afghanistan Dec. 9. (Photo by Spc. Crystal Davis) Soldiers and a ham radio operator have come up with a way for Afghan officials to better reach citizens throughout the mountainous valleys of Zabul Province - near vertical incidence skywave transmissions. According to an article on the Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System (DVIDS) website, which is operated by the U.S. Army, soliders from Combined Team Zabul worked with the Zabul provincial government to devise a shortwave transmitter set up with long, horizontal antennas and a ground wire that direct the signals steeply upwards. The result is transmissions that bounce off the ionosphere and back into valleys that otherwise would be difficult to reach. Ham radio operator Don Butler (N4UJW) provided design assistance for the transmission system. Combined Team Zabul includes members of the Virginia Army National Guard, the Alaska- based U.S. Army 1st Battalion 24th Infantry Regiment and the Romanian Land Forces Brigada 1 Mecanizata(.
