Big L [1395 kHz] seems to be having problems last night & today with audio feed to the transmitter. I noted dropped audio and abrupt switch overs between programmes.
Right now at 1300ut they seem to have lost audio all together - just a blank carrier present.
It's easy to pull Energy 1395 from Dublin out from under the blank Big L carrier.

Big L on 1395 kHz: We have tested this morning and early in the afternoon, the new generator is on the TX site.
But when we arrived this morning we saw that the audio equipment was stolen out of the container, so they have to modify the alarm system and re install the new equipment now. So hopefully tomorrow, but we have seen some more delays in the past.
Fingers crossed.

The latest news from beleaguered radio station Big L, which normally broadcasts from a mediumwave transmitter at Trintelhaven in the Netherlands on 1395 kHz, is as follows according to the official website:
"The old generator cannot be repaired, so we send it on vacation. After all these years of hard working it ended for our 'Green Genny' under the Big L mast in Lake IJsselmeer. We will install a brand new generator! The Big L will soon return on 1395, that's a promise!!"

The radio/lightship "Jenni Baynton", home of Radio Waddenzee, will be anchored just outside the port of Harlingen in the Kimstergat during the fishing days. On Saturday, August 28, interested parties can visit the ship and witness live broadcasts. On this occasion, Radio Waddenzee sought collaboration with the Frisian Yacht Club which will make regular trips from the fishing port to the radio lightship with its water taxis.
After a short "tender trip" you can go aboard the radio lightship. (Visit time about 1.5 to 2 hours) Given the limited space and capacity, you can register for this opportunity. The costs are Euro10 per person. Registration is only through an e-mail to
Jitske@radiowaddenzee.nl
The 'Jenni Baynton' will be moved to her temporary mooring on the first day of fishing and towed back to her normal berth at the South Pier on Monday 30th or Tuesday 31st August 31.

Hi Ydun!
Tonight (July 9th at 2130 UTC) Arrow Classic Rock is again on air on 828 kHz.
73, Patrick Robic, Austria (9/7-2010)
NETHERLANDS
Transmissions on 828 KHz from Heinenoord transmitter in the Netherlands (carrying Arrow Classic Rock) have ended. Transmissions started in the middle of june and ended early july. Presumably it is necessary to use the frequency once in a while to keep the license. It seems there is no serious attempt to start a radiostation at this moment.
So at the moment 828 is silent again.

On Thursday 21 January, a number of Dutch radio and TV stations will join together for a day of fundraising for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. The radio stations, including a number of the most popular commercial stations as well as public networks 3FM and Radio 2, will broadcast a joint programme between 0500 and 2000 UTC identifying as Radio 555. The giro number 555 is used in the Netherlands for donations to charities belonging to the coordinating organisation SHO.
The action is a repeat of one held in January 2005 following the tsunami in Asia. Seven national Dutch radio stations - 3FM, Radio 2, Radio 538, Radio Veronica, Q-music, Radio 10 Gold and Slam!FM - will be carrying Radio 555.
RNW will also carry portions of the programme to Dutch expats on all the regularly scheduled frequencies beamed to Europe, and the programme in its entirety will be carried via the RNW1 Satellite/Internet streams. In addition, some frequencies will be on the air for extended hours:
- 5955 kHz at 0600-1800 UTC
- 9895 kHz at 0600-1700 UTC
- 1296 kHz mediumwave (via Orfordness, UK) at 0900-1700 UTC
The Radio 555 website will go live on Wednesday. The playlist will reflect the music played on all the participating stations. News will be supplied by NOS, and read by newsreaders from the different stations. Reporters will be out and about giving live updates from different parts of the country. Stations not carrying the special programming will be supporting the fundraiser with specially recorded spots.
The line-up of presenters/reporters will be as follows:
- 0500-0700 UTC: Sander de Heer (Radio 2) and Menno de Boer (Slam!FM). Reporter: Gijs Staverman (Q-music)

One of the longest-serving commercial radio stations in the Netherlands, Radio 10 Gold, has a new owner - media conglomerate RTL Nederland.
RTL's CEO, Bert Habets, explained that Radio 10 Gold, with its oldies format, complements its other stations which cater for different listener groups. The station has broadcast without interruption since 1988 and is currently heard only on cable and satellite.
Dutch media mogul John de Mol, whose company Talpa have owned Radio 10 Gold since 2003, says he is happy about the sale because RTL will give the station the attention it deserves. Mr De Mol also said that as he is also a shareholder in RTL Nederland, he doesn’t have to say goodbye to the station.
Nothing has been said so far about whether RTL intends to try getting the station back on terrestrial transmitters. In the 1990s the Dutch station enjoyed wide popularity in neighbouring countries owing to its broadcasts via a powerful mediumwave transmitter.

Until end of August 2007 Radio 10 Gold was on 1008 kHz.

Big L/KBC Radio now testing on 1395 kHz
Today the long-awaited return of the Dutch mediumwave transmitter at Trintelhaven on 1395 kHz became a reality. Test transmissions started today around lunchtime, and an official relaunch of Big L sponsored by KBC Import.com is imminent. There are already quite a few commercials, including one which I find rather bizarre - an ad for the Isle of Bute in Scotland (which I know well as I used to visit it every year when I was a teenager) spoken in English with a Dutch accent! But this time, the daytime mediumwave transmissions are intended primarily for a Dutch audience who want an alternative to the normal Dutch commercial stations. At night, there is quite a good skywave signal from this transmitter that reaches much farther afield. Every weekday at 0500-0600 UTC there will be a programme in Dutch from Transport Radio
http://www.transportradio.nl/inhoud/index.php presented by Bob van Beeten who also presents RNW's programme for Dutch truckers, Onderweg. The transmitter on 1395 kHz will be on the air 21 hours a day (2200-1900 UTC), leaving the channel clear for Trans World Radio's broadcasts from Albanian between 1900 and 2200 UTC.
This from the Media Network blog http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/ earlier today:
The website of KBC Radio http://www.kbcradio.eu/ has photos of the (re-)installation work of the Dutch transmitter at Trintelhaven on 1395 kHz, which will carry the programmes of KBC and Big L. Work was carried out yesterday, and is apparently continuing today. Tests have now started (thanks to Mike Barraclough for the tip - see comments). These tests are
subject to interruption. It appears that the transmitter is not yet operating at full power.

Dutch Commercial Station Arrow has closed its medium wave service on 828 KHz on may 5 2009 This follows the earlier closing of the FM services, due to not paying the administrative fees to the telecom agency. Arrow has a millions debt to the telecom agency. The station has also sacked the DJ's and is broadcasting non-stop only on internet and cable.

Transmissions on 828 Khz from Heinenoord in Holland are resumed since early july. The frequency is owned by Arrow for its new station Arrow Talks. Until this station will start, the transmitter is temporarily used by "Caz", a former FM station. Arrow bought Caz in june 2007 from SBS-media and started to use the CAZ-FM-netwok for Arrow Rock. Caz was since then on cable and internet only.
Now Caz may use 828 temporarily until Aroow Talks will start.

Another religious broadcaster on 675?
There is a strong rumour going on in Holland that Arrow is talking with another religious group to use or to buy 675 kHz.
There are rumours that it will be Radio Maria. They have applied for a licence in NL.
The website http://www.radiomaria.nl is already on air.
On one hand it is a pitty that another religious station comes on air on a good frequency, but that seems the only way to have medium wave broadcasts. In the US you see this also happening.

The MIGHTY KBC RADIO: This coming saturday it will be a real DX adventure for all of you.
The AM 1386 transmitter with a power of 500.000 Watts is not working at the moment.
The 500 kW (1386 kHz) AM transmitter is temporarily out of service due to shortage of high-power vacuum tubes for the RF amplifier. The tubes has been ordered, but delivery will take some time. Therefore, on Saturday the program probably will be transmitted via a backup 25 kW (1386 kHz) transmitter near Klaipeda on the Baltic seashore.
So let us know if you hear us on 1386......touch and taste the sensation of The Mighty KBC....Our shortwave service is normally working on 6255 kHz ....
