Today, I would like to share my recent experience of receiving Radio Blauwe Piraat, a radio station from the vicinity of Nieuwleusen, Netherlands. It was a special and nostalgic moment when I tuned in to their signal on the medium wave frequency of 765 kHz. It all began with a beautiful record from the era of offshore radio, played by the Les Leeds Orchestra and titled “Man of Action”. This music style immediately transported me back to the golden years of radio.

It was fascinating to learn that Radio Blauwe Piraat operates at a power output of 120 watts (480 watts PEP). With such strength, their signal could be received far and wide. The majority of the broadcast consisted of Dutch folk music, which added to the charm and uniqueness of Radio Blauwe Piraat. It took me on a journey through the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands, showcasing the talent and passion of local musicians.

The nostalgia of the experience combined with the distinct sound of Radio Blauwe Piraat made it a truly memorable encounter. It served as a reminder of the power that radio holds in connecting communities, preserving traditions, and evoking emotions.
