The Dutch 828 kHz-transmitter is on air (again).

From today the Dutch 828 kHz-transmitter is in use by Arrow Classic Rock Radio for testtransmittions on behalf of its new radiostation Arrow Talk Radio. Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.

...but will sometimes be off air because it is "only" a testtransmission! Nico.

Yes it's just like pre June 2003 days with Arrow back on 828. Signal is just about bearable anorak quality here (Newmarket) and the co-channel nonsense from Luton easily nullable. I imagine a little further east say towards Bury St Edmunds, Arrow would be blasting in. Not quite a strong as I remember it here but the old memory plays tricks once you get to my age. Currently simulcasting FM output on 828. I'll make the most of it before the 'Arrow Talk' starts.

Concur with that Giles.The Heinenoord spud field coming in loud and clear here in Kent,as previously.Night time is seriously wafty though.Word has it that this tx site has a ground deflector, reducing signal output to the West;however this bit of kit has not functioned properly for some time,thus enabling the engineer to monitor the output from his home;which is not in the Netherlands,but definitly West of it!Link with photo of site is here,click on 828, 1 foto: http://www.radiowereld.nl/fmtv/
Does anybody know of Mr Ossendrijver's e-mail ... appears to fail now... Much e-mail communication from us here,pleased to have the AM band again graced with Classic Rock,may just change his mind over 'Talk Radio'.. It's worth a try...
Also any idea as to how the AM 828 khz transmission is approx 15–20 seconds AHEAD of the FM/Net transmission-I'm puzzled.Is it because the national feed is on a delay,with the 828 taking signal straight from the playback computer? If I could e-mail Ad I'd ask him...might ring later.
Tx is on and off at the moment...
Best regards,
Jim.

The reflector to the west has been restored to its original state after the transmitter closed in 2003. At night the 5 kW is omnidirectional.

Yesterday FM and AM were exactly synchronized.

This 828 kHz-transmitter is now off air. Nico.

This 828 kHz-transmitter is still off air now. It is expected that next Tuesday it will be back on air again with Arrow Classic Rock again too and thereafter starts on the First of May with the Dutch spoken "TalkRadio". Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.

Latest news. Read the Dutch press-release on http://www.radiofreak.nl/nieuws.php?id=7198 in which you can read that Arrow will start in June with "TalkRadio" on the 828 kHz. But this is not yet sure! Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands. Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.
