Week 1

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone for tuning in to our broadcasts during the Christmas period. We appreciate your support and listenership. We would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2024.

During these days, we received over 300 messages from our listeners, and we have now responded to all of them with a QSL card. These cards have been sent out to the listeners.

We have also announced the winners of our recent contest during the broadcast. The winners will receive a stylish hoodie featuring the Radio Delta logo. Congratulations to the following individuals:

1. Patrick Travers from Sheffield, England

2. Ruud Wallet from Apeldoorn, the Netherlands

3. Harri Hatunen from Oulu, Finland

4. Patrick Robic from Austria

5. Christer Brainstorm from Halmstad, Sweden

Additionally, you can visit our website to get an impression of our listeners. They often send us photos and videos from their surroundings or of their receivers. We have uploaded some of these great photos and videos on our website.

We have made some changes to the power supply of the transmitter for 12.030 kHz, which should further improve the signal quality. We look forward to bringing you more exciting broadcasts in 2024. Stay tuned!

Week 51 2023

This is the radio news bulletin for December 23rd and 24th, 2023. There have been no technical adjustments made to the transmitters or antennas, and we feel that we are currently able to reach all of Europe with occasional signal strength reaching far beyond Europe. Just last week, we received a message from Chris Mackerell in New Zealand.

Once the weather improves, we will make adjustments to the antennas for 12.030 kHz. You can find updates on our website, and we will also create a blog about the progress.

Over the past few weeks, we have been busy preparing for our Christmas broadcasts on the 25th and 26th of December.

These broadcasts will be filled with delightful surprises for our listeners, including beautiful music and our regular program segments. We hope that our listeners will also share their stories in the future to encourage more interaction.

Last week, the weather in the Netherlands was very poor, with a severe storm bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Fortunately, our antennas did not sustain any damage.

On December 24th, you can also tune in to Radio Telstar (see photo) on 6045 kHz from Nauen, Germany. The Radio Telstar broadcast will begin at 12:00 UTC and continue until 14:00 UTC.

Week 50 2023

This is the radio news bulletin for December 16th and 17th, 2023. We are getting closer to our Christmas show on December 25th and 26th. In this show, we will look back on the past year with our listeners at the center.

This weekend is dedicated to our Finnish listeners, who are very active and tune in every weekend. We now have a WhatsApp group of 36 listeners from Finland. You will hear a story from Risto from Finland, who used to have his own radio station called Radio Meteor. We will also share a beautiful poem from Harri from Oulu. He listens every weekend and is a big fan of the radio show “Finnish Request.” The poem reflects on the special friendships that arise through shortwave radio.

We are working hard on developing our new antennas for the 12.030 kHz frequency. We hope this will further improve reception in Europe and especially over slightly longer distances.

The Christmas tree is already up in the studio, and we have bought some lovely gifts for our team members: Emily, Dan, and Thomas. It takes a lot of time to create new content every week to share with you. They manage to make something beautiful each week.

If you have a great story yourself, here’s what you can do: write a short story and send us some photos or videos. We’ll turn it into a wonderful tale for our segment called “Radio Stories.”

Last week, we also received some wonderful audio messages from listeners. You can listen to them on Sunday morning at 8:00 UTC on the 6.110 kHz frequency. We would like to thank the following listeners: Dieter Grund from Hamburg, Ignacio Sotomayor from Spain, and Declan Mayock from Ireland. Will you also contribute something special to Radio Delta?
