Radio Nord 8 March 2011

We just got the confirmation from The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS)that our application for MW 1512 kHz and SW 6060 kHz has been approved. On March 8 at 0848 UTC/GMT (0948 CET) we will start by broadcasting the opening of offshore station Radio Nord just as it was aired on this date in 1961. We will also make some short test transmissions on these frequencies before our regular programme starts. Power will be 1 kW on 1512 kHz and 10 kW on 6060kHz. The MW tx is located at Kvarnberget, Vallentuna some 35 km from Stockholm city and the SW tx outside the town of Sala.

If you catch our signal please comment in our blog http://www.radionordrevival.blogspot.com and let us know how well you can hear us in your area. QSL cards will be available later. (Ronny Forslund, ARC/Radio Nord Revival, March 3, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

you can still do so as we can include that in one of the two
broadcasts which follow after the October 31st one.
Of course we have special QSLs for the three broadcasts…one based on the 80s, one on the 90s and one on the 00s.

Pirate Radio St Helena

“Although we are all disappointed that Radio St. Helena had to cancel its annual Radio St. Helena Day broadcast on 11,092.5 kHz, I have been informed that there will be a substitute transmission one week later from Pirate Radio St. Helena.

The faux Radio St. Helena plans to operate on the familiar 11092.5 kHz at 2300 UT on Saturday, October 16th. You can contact the station during its program by using the following e-mail address: piratesainthelena @ gmail.com The station is busy building a special dipole antenna designed for just this transmission so reception should be good provided propagation cooperates.

The faux Radio St. Helena is preparing its own special QSL for the occasion. All correct reports will be verified with a special Radio St. Helena Day electronic attachment. Send your report to: piratesainthelena @ gmail.com

Good luck!”

Radio Bluebell

ein paar hier können sich evtl. noch erinnern an Radio Bluebell vor ein paar Jahren auf KW 48m (u.a. 6264 und 6407 kHz). Gingen ja doch ein paar QSLs damals raus.

Mittlerweile gibt’s das Programm komplett im Internet.

www.radiobluebell.com

Die Homepage ist nun auch fast fertig. Die Musikfarbe umfasst ein Soft Pop-AC-Format mit vielen Klassikern und einer deutlich größeren Rotation als bei den meisten ähnlichen Programmen.

Feedback ist jederzeit herzlich willkommen.

FRS 30 years
2010 is a very special year for all at FRSH: 30 years on the air! We will be celebrating this later in 2010, presumably in October. It is our wish to receive as many personal memories as possible (especially) from dedicated FRS listeners! Most personal is when you record a 1- 2 minute recording (English or German)
with your very own memories: When did you hear us for the first time, what was (is) your favourite show, when did you get your first QSL, how much did you listen to FRS, any special on air moments you remember? All this info will be part of your personal FRS contribution. Any serious contribution will be
rewarded later this year. That is a promise! All listener’s contributions will be collected and together it will be our anthology of 30 years of SW broadcasts along with our very own memories. Btw: if you cannot record a message, please put your contribution on paper (POBox 2702) or send us a mail . It sounds a bit weird but w’d like to receive your contribution as soon as possible. There’s a lot to prepare and having contributions at an early stage really helps… we count on you…an mp3 would be easy, isn’t it?

73s, Peter V. (on behalf of the FRS staff)
