Thanks Eric.

Sounding really good right now Eric 17.39hrs UK.
Col,

- I only hope the new stream won't mean leaving 6095 khz SW !!!!!!!

It would be cheaper for them if they did, though not as much fun for us.

Eric---??Medium Wave Outlet?----Last saturday show at end of month???----Challenging thoughts for someone as thick as me. Comments on a 100euro note and send to usual address please
Col.

And what's going to happen with my bl**dy seagulls,eh?

Medium Wave outlet ? ? - they i.e. Transport-Radio has it already via R.Waddenzee on 1602 khz with about 800 Watts. -
If its due to costs for Nauen Tx why not accept Rainer Eberling's offer for 6070 khz ?? - they are just working on the Tx to increase power and to improve signal. 6070 khz will cover whole of Central Europe with a quite viable signal for a very cheap price. As i-net station KBC will be one in between thousands and soon be forgotten - Is it again ' another one bites the dust ' ???
They'll be back on air march, 23

- I had excellent !! 6095 khz reception in my car this afternoon and also heard the announcement - but didn't understand it fully as a truck was passing next to me

Those bloody trucks eh??

Good news Eric, but will the transmissions from the JB be strong enough to reach us here in SE uk or will we just have to rely on the i-net. Never managed to pick up Seagull on 1602mhz.
Col.

1602 khz (Waddenzee/Seagull) license goes only for 1 KW - so receivable only in North Holland and in Anorak quality partly along S-East England coast during day-time.
I'll miss the saturday afternoon programs from KBC in my car - always was a pleasure to listen to.
So all in all to me this is really sad news - another one bites the dust (as I feared) - sorry to say so
- why not taking the 6070 khz offer ??
at least trying it for 3-4 saturdays would be worth it

Good news in one way, but that won't really affect me up here, but then you can never please everybody all of the time.

hm.....

I hope they will sail out to the Waddenzee from time to time or even will get the chance to try on a new frequency (1395 khz ??) to improve signal on MW

Radio Waddenzee: (Google Translation)

10 YEARS OF RADIO WADDENZEE: TIME FOR NEW SOUND AND NEW NAME!

Radio Waddenzee began on May 20, 2005 with its broadcasts through 1602 AM. We are now 10 years later and find that there is a fresh sea breeze to pass through. A new approach and a new name provide an even better sound on the old, familiar medium wave.

The joint management of Radio Waddenzee and KBC Radio (The Mighty KBC) have agreed that as of June 1, 2015 on the AM frequency 1602 programs KBC Radio (The Mighty KBC) will be heard. The broadcasts daily from 07:00 to 19:00.

KBC Radio (The Mighty KBC) now sends through a schedule of the shortwave frequency 6095 kHz with international programs aimed at foreign countries. The programs that will be listened to AM through 1602, are aimed at the reception area of ​​the frequency.

The daily broadcast between 19.00 and 07.00 provided by Radio Seagull, remain unchanged.
Radio Waddenzee:


Per 1 juni: KBC Radio

10 JAAR RADIO WADDENZEE: TIJD VOOR NIEUWE SOUND EN NIEUWE NAAM!

Radio Waddenzee begon op 20 mei 2005 met haar uitzendingen via 1602 AM. We zijn nu 10 jaar verder en vinden dat er een frisse zeewind doorheen moet. Een nieuwe aanpak en een nieuwe naam zorgen voor een nog leuker geluid op de oude, vertrouwde middengolf.

De gezamenlijke directies van Radio Waddenzee en KBC Radio (The Mighty KBC) zijn overeen gekomen dat met ingang van 1 juni 2015 op de frequentie 1602 AM de programma’s van KBC Radio (The Mighty KBC) te horen zullen zijn. De uitzendingen zijn dagelijks van 07.00 tot 19.00 uur.

KBC Radio (The Mighty KBC) zendt nu via een vast schema uit op de kortegolffrequentie 6095 kHz met internationale programma’s, gericht op het buitenland. De programma’s die via 1602 AM te beluisteren zullen zijn, zijn op het ontvangstgebied van de frequentie gericht.

De dagelijkse uitzendingen tussen 19.00 en 07.00 uur verzorgd door Radio Seagull, blijven onveranderd.

Any news for the Easter Weekend please Eric--are you on the transport stream on Saturday or-------?
Need my shot of KBC on sat/sun or I get withdrawal symptoms.
Col.

there are no more saturdays on 6095 khz

Have just seen this thread on another forum which I'm a member of which is www.shipsnostalgia.com

"Apologies if this is a shade off topic but I guess many of us remember picking up the World Service news (intro with ‘Lillibullero’) for distribution via the Tannoy. On Orontes (GBXM) we had a dedicated broadcast receiver (make and model?) in the radio office. For the benefit of those who like to remember such things, someone has kindly put ‘Lilli’, complete with pips, on YouTube at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4BZrSj2VU4

Anyway, I was surprised to find that my new car radio also covers the 49 metre broadcast band: I believe there’s still quite a bit of broadcasting in some parts of the world on SW. There’s not much to be heard in the daytime but on Sunday morning I was amazed to hear ‘Trucker Radio’ on 6095 mhz. I’m not sure where the transmissions come from - perhaps they are relayed from the US. Plenty of gritty, trucker country and western interspersed with commercials for HGV driving schools and CB rigs. I just had to stop off for a Yorkie bar.

Trucker Radio is a Dutch Truck Radio Station and, if the Admin will permit (it has NO connection to shipping sites, tis only a music/radio site) I can post links to via here.

Before I do that though, the last link from Eric, the owner of TR posted thie following:

Rosko will go out on Saturday via the stream, just like last week, the rest will start hopefully in May...
The stream is a bit different, because there is Dutch news, traffic info, etc

Happy Easter Shortwave Commando's!

Sorry Coastie - but thats a miss-information

What you mean is transportradio.nl
Trucker-Radio is an US-program produced to be relayed or synchronized on some Us-stations but eric took it over to be relayed also via KBC - it has nothing to do with transportradio.nl
