Hello from Hilversum,
Well, November has ended as the driest November in the Netherlands since records began. But December could well turn out to be one of the wettest - I just looked at the predictions for the next two weeks, and there's a lot of rain coming! But there's no sign of temperatures getting low enough for snow.














Madagascar transmitter tests now completed
Last week's test transmissions of the first of the former HÃrby shortwave transmitters newly installed at our Madagascar relay station were very successful, with reports received from Colombia, USA, UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Israel and New Zealand. Everyone who requested a QSL-card for correct reports on these tests will receive one in due course.
The transmitter will shortly be taken into service within the regular schedule, where it will replace one of the old Philips transmitters that will be taken out of service.

G6 International Broadcasters to work closely together
The Group of Six (G6) International Broadcasters met in Kyoto on 21 to 23 November 2011, and issued the following Joint statement:
âAll members of the Group of Six agree on our shared values of freedom of expression, democratic principles, the strengthening of human rights and free, open and independent media.
âTo this end the G6 members agree to further develop and enrich the international media environment by close collaboration within the context of our shared values. We will focus on joint projects that strengthen each otherâs ability to provide enhanced content to multiplatform audiences across the globe. Our collaboration and joint projects will also strengthen each organizationâs ability to provide unique content to its own target markets and build on our ability to provide an even more comprehensive offering of content to our audiences into the future.
âThe G6 acknowledges that the media markets around the world, including technological developments and changes to the way audiences consume media, provide many challenges to international broadcasters, and we agree that by working together, our shared values and objectives are much more likely to be achieved.â
The Group of Six consists of the following broadcasters:
