 Hello, 
This evening the new Dutch commercial radiostation Radio Nationaal is 
testing on 1035 Khz mediumwave. Very strong signal here in the south of the 
Netherlands. The transmitter is located in the town Echt, in the southern 
province of Limburg, not too far from the city Roermond. 
Official start of Radio Nationaal friday may the fifth at 12 hours 
UTC. 
Sorry that an interesting DX frequancy will be occupied by a new commercial 
station, because North Sound form Aberdeen used to come in rather good at nights 
here. 
However I doubt if the station will be succesfull as there is no audience 
for mediumwave in Holland anymore, because everybody is listening to FM stereo 
stations.
