Heard in Fredriksfors March 20th. - promising but dissapointing


After a period of no listening I went back to Fredriksfors on March 19th.
Quite interesting. A sunset opening towards Peru about 22.30 UTC and good signals from some Puerto Rico and later on Colombian stations. But at our dawn and sunrise it was a great dissapointment. Nothing from the Andes, nothing from the West Indies. Nothing from North America. The only remaining station in the morning was Radio Vibración (and a week signal from Puerto Cabello).

ARC Newsflash: Radio Nord Revival back on Saturday, March 12!

The anniversary broadcasts from Radio Nord Revival have been a great success and the transmissions from the 10 kW SW transmitter on 6060 have been received with good quality over most of Europe. Even the small 60 W MW transmitter on 1512 kHz from Sala, Sweden was heard as far afield as Germany!

On Saturday, March 12, Radio Nord Revival will be on the air again. This time we are broadcasting from another location, Kvarnberget in Vallentuna, some 30 km from Stockholm City. The power is 1 kW using a 37 m. vertical antenna so this time you can expect a far better signal. The frequency is still 1512 kHz. Further information on our blog http://www.radionordrevival.blogspot.com/ (Ronny Forslund, ARC)

ARC Newsflash: Radio Nord Revival on the air on March 8

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 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 6060 kHz. 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)
