GERMANY Radio Öömrang 15245 kHz Wertachtal 500 kW at 1557-1700 UT on
Feb 21 only.
At 1557 UT sender signed on at Wertachtal. My location is situated like in
the main lobe direction of 300 degrees towards zones 4,8,9 via Stuttgart,
Brussels, London, Edinburgh, and then Nova Scotia, into US Washington etc.
A smidgen fluttery which is not surpring in the 19 meterband, some 120
kilometers away of Wertachtal transmission site, S=9+20dB which is 55555
localy. At 16.00:04 UT anncmt in English, BUT STILL old details of last
year like February 21, 2009, mentioned 15230 kHz and Juelich 100 kW.
Then started in Frisian (lower German) language, which is similar to Dutch
West Frisian language spoken in North Western Netherlands. The Kiel
student Anna read the (local?) news and also a weather report of North Sea
area could be traced.
Powerful Wertachtal 500 Kilowatt Signal should "twist the spoons" in North
America ?

GERMANY. Tnx to Kai Ludwig for reminding us of an unpublicized once-a-year
broadcast, and to Wolfgang Büschel for more info about it, we were standing
by Feb 21 at 1600 for Radio Öömrang, on 15245 or 15230.
At 1600 it was inbooming S9+22 on 15245, just missed English ID but there
would be more later. VG signal must be aimed USward, or rather toward New
York, whose local time was mentioned. Mostly talk in a strange dialect of
German, interspersed every few minutes with halting English IDs, which had
hum on them, and went approximately, including at 1629 and 1637:
``Hello, this is Radio Öömrang, the free voice of the Friesian people.
Welcome to the new year 2010. Welcome to our broadcast on high nineteen FM
via Juelich with the frequenz 1-5-2-3-0 k-h-zed``
Yeech, only once a year and they get the frequency wrong! Will they have it
corrected by 2011y? Jülich? Guess it`s hard to keep up with the latest site
demolitions. It also seems they have a very hazy idea about the difference
between KW and UKW.
At 1611 talking about megabits per second, etc. Just what is the purpose of
this? At 1630 about the CDU and the SPD. Do these Friesians have some
political ax to grind?
At 1638 in English introduced segment, ``facts about the Friesian
people`` --- but that was not in English! Obviously this effort is not
really meant to reach the world at large beyond their minority dialect, but
just a feel-good promotion for the insiders.
Later plugged their Facebook site. http://www.facebook.com/oomrang
Without the umlauts? No, the above does not work, I think, since I am not
signed up with Facebook anyway. Someone please explain what the name means,
and its cognate in High German. Is this Friesian dialect the same as the
Plattdeutsch used e.g. by HCJB?
At 1655, English closing: ``the producer says goodbye until 2011``; contact
info with Niebüll postal address, no e-mail mentioned. Niebüll is a small
town at the northern tip of Germany some 12 km from the Danish border.
``PS: if you want to sponsor this broadcasting, it`s only paid by
Mr. ----``. Further production credits and ``Goodbye``, 1656 to open
carrier, until off at 1659*. They wasted two precious sesquiminutes of
expensive (?) 500 kW (?) airtime from Wertachtal! And of course they wasted
the whole thing for people tuned to 15230 instead.
Wolfgang Büschel later explained: ``Started in Friesian (lower German)
language, which is similar to Dutch West Frisian language spoken in North
Western Netherlands. The Kiel student Anna read the (local?) news and also a
weather report of North Sea area could be traced.``
A weather report once a year just won't do.
