[HCDX] Denmark reactives long wave and leaves medium wave

["Stig Hartvig Nielsen" <hartvig@xxxxxx>]

Today the Danish national public service radio station DR has reactived long
wave 243 kHz using a brand new Nautel 50 kW sender from the current
transmitter site in Kalundborg on the western part of Sealand (Sjælland),
Denmark.  

 

Broadcasting on medium wave 1062 kHz (250 kW) will cease on Monday June 27
2011. 

 

>From today and until Monday the programmes will be simulcast on the two
frequencies. Broadcasting hours remain the same. Cf. WRTH or Euro-African MW
Guide for details. 

 

The use of 243 kHz with 300 kW was ended in February 2007, but after Turkey
left the channel in October 2008, DR is the only radio station on this
channel. Thus it is estimated that the coverage will be pretty good on 243
although the power utilized is only 50 kW.
