Today 12 January 2025, Radio Delta is proud to dedicate our entire programming to the iconic band, The Cranberries. As we remember the legendary lead vocalist Dolores O’Riordan, who left us too soon, we delve into the rich history of this beloved Irish rock group. Listeners can tune in every hour for “The Record and Its Story,” where we explore the background of their albums and the unique sound that made them a staple in the hearts of many.

Formed in Limerick, Ireland, in 1990, The Cranberries burst onto the music scene with their distinctive blend of alternative rock and Celtic influences. They captivated audiences in the 90s with hits like “Zombie,” “Linger,” and “Dreams,” delivering powerful lyrics that often addressed social and personal themes. Their music resonated deeply with fans across the globe, particularly among our dedicated Radio Delta listeners. It’s no surprise that we frequently feature their songs in our “Five Decades of Music” program.

In recent news, we’ve faced some challenges this past week, and unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to work on our antennas. However, we’re working diligently to ensure that our transmission remains strong and uninterrupted.

Additionally, we invite you to join Helmut Matt in a fascinating interview with Marcel Fischer from RADIO MARABU, where they discuss his journeys around the world and his exciting new book.

Tune in to Radio Delta, the Dutch lion that keeps the shortwave alive, and celebrate the enduring legacy of The Cranberries with us today!

As we step into the New Year, everyone at Radio Delta wishes you a very happy and healthy 2025! A heartfelt thank you to all who tuned in for our Christmas broadcast from December 24 to December 29. We received numerous wonderful and touching responses that truly made our holiday season special!

Today, we are back on air, broadcasting all day long on our regular frequencies of 6.170 kilohertz and 12.085 kilohertz. We are also excited to announce a brand new backup frequency for the 49-meter band to ensure you don’t miss a moment of our programming.

Next week, we are focusing on enhancing our antenna system, with all necessary materials now in hand. We believe these improvements will significantly enhance reception on the 49-meter band, making your listening experience even better.

In today’s program segment, Record and its Story, we dive into the incredible journey of the band Supertramp. Throughout the day, you can hear the fascinating tale of this iconic band.

Supertramp, a British symphonic rock band, known for its unique sound dominated by Wurlitzer piano and saxophone, was formed in 1969 by Rick Davies (vocals and keyboards) and lyricist Richard Palmer-James. Renowned member Roger Hodgson (vocals, guitar, and keyboards) was part of the group until 1983. Key hits include “Give a Little Bit,” “The Logical Song,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “Dreamer,” “Breakfast in America,” and “It’s Raining Again,” many of which were written by Hodgson, while Davies penned classics like “Bloody Well Right,” “Goodbye Stranger,” and “Cannonball.”

This afternoon, we’ll be back on the airwaves at 12.085 kHz, the 25-meter band. Each week, new listeners join our community, fueling our passion to continue broadcasting. It’s heartening to know that while many have been tuning in for a while, some have yet to reach out and say hello.

Every week, our listener base continues to grow, which boosts our confidence to keep going strong. It’s remarkable to know that many people have been listening to Radio Delta for quite some time but have never reached out before.

Today, we’re excited to share the radio story from our new listener Jordan in Spain. He sent us his very first message while being a regular listener. Welcome to our radio community, Jordan! It’s wonderful to hear from you.

We also want to give a shout-out to Jim from Glasgow, who finally picked up the pen to send us an email and even provided a recorded audio message to be heard on shortwave. Thank you, Jim, for being part of our broadcast family!

In the spirit of December 1st, did you know that on this day in 1970, the legendary band The Doors released their iconic album “Morrison Hotel”? This album not only cemented their status in rock history but also showcased their unique blend of blues rock and psychedelic music.

This Sunday, listen to us on 6,170 kHz until 12:00 UTC, and in the afternoon, catch us on 12,085 kHz!

We’re thrilled to announce that due to recent improvements made to our 25-meter antennas, the reception quality has significantly enhanced, even at short distances. Over the past weekend, we received numerous reports of excellent reception across the Netherlands and much of Europe, showcasing the power of our upgraded equipment and our commitment to delivering quality broadcasts.

What makes Radio Delta special is our deep connection with our community. We are not just a radio station; we are a vibrant platform for free radio enthusiasts who share a passion for music, culture, and storytelling. Our station prides itself on providing a diverse range of programming that captivates our listeners, from music to current events and everything in between. We believe in the power of radio to unite people and foster connections across borders.

As our community continues to grow, we want to invite all of our listeners to engage more actively in our broadcasts. We encourage our ‘new’ listeners to send us detailed reception reports along with photos. We’ll be curating these stories to share during our shows, particularly in our segment “Radio Delta Goes DX”. Here, we want to feature as many listeners’ stories as possible, so if you have a remarkable radio tale or unique experiences to share, don’t hesitate to communicate with us through our platform on the shortwave. Your voice matters, and together we can create a rich tapestry of shared experiences.

In addition to these exciting listener interactions, we also celebrate moments in history. For instance, on November 16, 1959, the legendary band The Beatles released their iconic single, “Love Me Do,” marking the beginning of a significant musical revolution. This story is just one of the many that highlight how music and radio shape our culture and bring us together in extraordinary ways.

We invite all of you to join our growing community. Connect with fellow listeners via our social media channels and share your insights and experiences.

Stay tuned, participate, and keep listening to Radio Delta, where every broadcast is an invitation to connect, share, and celebrate the magic of radio!

This weekend, November 9th and 10th, prepare to immerse yourself in the captivating sounds of Radio Delta, the oldest shortwave radio station in Europe, proudly broadcasting from Elburg for over 47 years!

Catch us on Saturday with our frequencies at 12.030 kHz and the newly introduced 12.060 / 12.085 kHz. While we continue to test this new frequency to ensure crystal-clear broadcasts, we encountered a bit of QRM last weekend. But fear not! We have a backup plan in place should 12.060 kHz prove less suitable.

On Sunday, you can tune in to 6.170 kHz all day long! Our recent broadcasts have garnered wonderful feedback, particularly for the Radio Delta Goes DX show, which is being enjoyed by many listeners.

This weekend, DJ Hitti makes his much-anticipated return with his Crazy Pirate Radio Show! After facing some studio challenges, he’s back and ready to entertain you!

As our community continues to flourish, we’re adding something special to our broadcasts. We invite all our new listeners to send in an extensive reception report with photos. We’ll craft a story featuring these submissions, which will air during our program. During Radio Delta Goes DX, we’ll share as many stories as we can!

In addition to our exciting programming, let’s take a moment to reflect on a significant historical event this weekend—November 9th, the day the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. This monumental moment in history symbolizes hope and freedom, just as we aim to inspire our listeners through music and storytelling.

Join us for an unforgettable weekend filled with music, stories, and community spirit. Tune in to Radio Delta, your trusted source for shortwave entertainment!

Hey there, Radio Delta listeners! This weekend, mark your calendars for October 25 and 26 – we are back on air at 6.170 kHz and 12.030 kHz (B24).

Please note, our evening broadcasts will be paused until spring, as they’ve become increasingly hard to receive. But here’s the good news: we’ve resumed our broadcasts on 12.030 kHz, and the tests are looking promising!

Last week, we made a few adjustments, and we’re happy to report that reception has been great, with listeners in the Netherlands enjoying the 25-meter band shortwave with ease.

We’d love to hear from you! Share your reception report with us, check the frequencies, and let us know how you’re receiving our broadcasts.

Additionally, we’re working on new jingles and some exciting topics for our upcoming shows!
