On February 1st you can tune in to a brand new test broadcast from Radio Delta! We’re excited to bring you our signal today on 9800 kilohertz in the shortwave band, also known as the 31-meter band.
For the upcoming weeks, we won’t be broadcasting on 6170 kilohertz. Instead, we’re venturing into uncharted territory to see if 9800 kHz offers better coverage. To achieve this, we’ll be conducting tests with various antennas to ensure the best signal possible. Your feedback is invaluable to us! Please send any comments or reception reports. We appreciate your input as we strive to enhance our broadcast quality.
Today, our test transmission on 9800 kHz will continue until 13:00 UTC. Tune in on Sunday, when we’ll be on-air for most of the day, testing our signal to North and South America starting at 21:00 UTC. This hobby radio station is dedicated to making strides in ensuring that our content is accessible throughout Europe and beyond.
As a special treat for this broadcast, we have created an exclusive eQSL card just for you! This card contains additional personal information about our station. If you send us a reception report, we will ensure you receive this unique card as a token of our appreciation.
And now, let’s take a look at the weather here in the Netherlands. This morning, northern regions can expect some cloudiness accompanied by mist, with temperatures initially hovering below freezing. However, as the day progresses, the sun will shine brightly across the land, with dry conditions prevailing and a gentle wind blowing from the east and south.
Thank you for listening! Radio Delta is the Dutch lion that keeps the shortwave alive with all live programs!
