Hi folks,
I received a nice message from PanEuropean Radio, the organisation behind Radio Waddenzee and Radio Seagull.They are planning to go offshore again from the 2nd half of August;)... The Jenny (Baynton) shall be anchored 8 miles from the Dutch coast in open sea. THis means a much better reception in The Benelux, UK and Scandinavia. The ship can be visited during the offshore event, ticketprice for boattrip plus visit shall be announced later. The event is a special one in memory of the end of the Dutch offshoreradio period and the start of the in Spanish/USA/Mauritian based Radio Caroline, Mi AMigo, Monique, Laser and Delmare.

More information at the Facebookprofile of Radio Waddenzee and, in a short time. also at the site of both at 1602 KHZ operating stations http://www.radiowaddenzee.nl/ and https://www.facebook.com/Waddenzee1602AM/photos/a.259819454096954.64599.121958351216399/652277981517764/?type=1

New British RSL: SummerFest Radio heard on MW 1386 kHz

SummerFest Radio, Haddenham has been awarded a license from June 22 - July 6 on FM 87.9 MHz. However, the station is also being heard on MW 1386 kHz. This frequency is not announced by the station so it may be an unofficial relay, maybe by a pirate station. The MW signal is being heard with a good signal some 17 miles from Haddenham, so the transmitter should be located within the area. The SummerFest is a local beer festival and the station's website can be found at http://www.summerfestradio.co.uk/ No confirmation about the MW transmissions has so far been made by the station.
