Xogħlijiet fuq it-Torri tal-Għargħur
L-Awtorità tixtieq tavża li nhar l-Erbgħa 4 ta’ Novembru 2020, ser tkun qed tagħmel xi xogħol ta’ manutenzjoni fuq it-Torri tal-Għargħur u għaldaqstant xi servizzi ser ikollhom interruzzjonijiet jew ikun hemm qtugħ fit-trażmissjoni tar-radju.
Biex tnaqqas l-impatt għal dan ix-xogħol, filwaqt li tissalvagwardja s-saħħa u s-sigurtà tal-ħaddiema tagħha, l-Awtorità beħsiebha tuża l-antenni ta’ riserva li hemm imwaħħla f’partijiet oħra fuq dan l-istess Torri b’valuri ta’ trażmissjoni inqas. Minħabba f’hekk il-firxa tas-sinjal tat-trażmissjoni madwar Malta u Għawdex jaf jintlaħaq inqas. Dan l-intervent għandu r-riskji tiegħu u allura jista’ jkun hemm ċirkustanzi fejn it-trażmissjonijiet mit-Torri jkollhom jintfew kompletament għal perjodu qasir waqt il-manutenzjoni.
Dan il-pjan ta’ manutenzjoni ser inaqqas is-saħħa tas-sinjal tat-trażmissjoni għall-ħabta tan-12:30 u jerġa’ jiġi kollox lura għan-normal fl-16:00. Nixtiequ navżawkom li l-aħjar li jkun hemm preżenti l-persuni tekniċi tagħkom ġewwa l-Għargħur f’12:00, sabiex isiru t-tibdiliet neċessarji ladarba jkollna l-ordni min-naħa tal-ħaddiema tagħna.
Filwaqt li nirringrazzjawkom tal-kooperazzjoni tagħkom, nixtiequ ngħarrfukom li din il-manutenzjoni ser issir sabiex nassiguraw kontinwità vijabbli għas-snin li ġejjin tat-Torri tal-Għargħur. Napprezzaw ukoll li tinfurmaw lill-produtturi u preżentaturi tagħkom biex ikunu mgħarrfa b’dan u hekk is-semmiegħa tagħkom ikunu wkoll infurmati.

Maintenance work on the Għargħur Transmitting Tower
Please note that this Wednesday 4th November the Malta Broadcasting Authority shall be carrying out maintenance on its Għargħur Transmitting Tower during which some service interruptions might be required. In order to minimize the impact of this maintenance while safeguarding the health and safety of our servicemen, the authority plans to use the backup antennas on other parts of the same tower at a reduced transmission power which will invariably reduce coverage of nationwide FM transmissions. This operation however has its own risks and there is still a possibility that a complete shutdown of the transmissions from the tower might be required.
The plan for maintenance will require the lowering of transmission power at around 1230, and we should be able to go back to normal power levels by 1600. To this intent, we kindly ask you to have your technical personnel on standby at Għargħur by 1200, so that the necessary changes can be applied as soon as the tower servicemen give us the go-ahead.
While thanking you for your cooperation, may we remind you that this maintenance is being done to ensure continued viability of the Għargħur tower in the years to come. We appreciate if you would inform your producers and presenters who will be notifiying their listeners accordingly.
