Since the transmitter in Arusha had been returned by the person, who stole it, many people have asked why we can not set it up in Tanga town.

Everything was ready to be set up on Christmas 2003, but we did not get the permission from the state agency.

Now in September 2004 came the permission in case we pay the licence fee of 1.4 mio. Tsh. The partner congregation in Germany agreed to take this part. Now we see how fast it will be possible to get the frequency assignment.

Since the Bishop advised us to set it up at the Kisosora congregation we brought the transmitter hut to Tanga as well. All sections of the 24 m tower had been waiting there already in Mbuyukenda since months,

The building committee of the congregation agreed on a location between the church and the pastors house, since the antenna mast will not interfere with future building activates there.

We got a big help from Samueli and his masonry fundi to pour the concrete in the holes of the foundation of the antenna mast and its pegs.

The transmitter hut needs a brick wall to surround it to make it more secure. Samueli and the masonry fundi will finish it these days, and give it the same finish as the church.

As soon as we have the frequency assignment we want to set up the antenna mast and the antennas, to be on air as soon as possible.
