Range of Djibo FM

Even more exciting than seeing the book cover was seeing this projection of the range of Djibo FM, produced by HCJB. If we are able to get a 500 Watt transmitter, then the signal will reach as far as 100km (click on picture below for scale and enlargement).

That thick line towards the north, that's the Mali border. So it seems that even Mondoro and Diinanguru will be able to listen to 'Voix du Berger'. Those towns were the focus of our 2003 reconnaissance trip - the trip which first inspired me with the possibilities of radio in this region.

HCJB's involvement in this project has encouraged me that this thing is actually going to happen.
