At the end of next week the "Jenni Baynton" will anchor in the Waddenzee for a couple of days!

...and it is also said on that radio that the 1485 kHz-transmitter on behalf of Radio Marina will staying OFF air during this whole offshore timeperiod of the "Jenni Baynton". Nico.

...read now also this posting on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/radioseagull/message/1245 Nico.

Hm, my information ( direct from the source ) tells me different things.... Both transmitters shall be tested together to look if they do not interferrer to eachother in practice ( on paper it must not give any problem but practice and theory are 2 total different things ).

People of radio Marina arrived on board at the 18th of August and I do not believe that they are there just to get some tanning color;)
Also the day of leaving the harbour of Harlingen is different but I respect the organisation behind the Jenny not to speculate about day, activities etc., just look at regular times to the sites of www.paneuropeanradio.com , www.radiomarina.nl and www.radioseagull.com .

And, Nico....Radio 19 just rented the 1395 for 1 day, they are not a part of the Harlingen project itself.

Hello everyone. On http://www.offshoreradio.de/newsflash.htm you can now read this text in Dutch.

Op vrijdag 31 augustus tussen 16 en 19 uur zal er op Radio Waddenzee aandacht worden besteed aan het sluiten van de zeezenders in 1974 voor de Nederlandse kust. Dit door de invoering, door de toenmalige Nederlandse regering van de zogenaamde anti-zeezenderwet. In het programma ‘Middagboot’ op Radio Waddenzee 1602 zal Walter Galle terug gaan in de tijd.

In het eerste en het tweede uur worden door hem typische zeezenderplaatjes, met korte fragmenten ten gehore gebracht. Tussen 18 en 19 uur hoor je de laatste klanken van zeezenders als Radio Veronica, Radio Noordzee en Radio Atlantis, maar ook fragmenten van Radio Caroline en Radio Mi-Amigo, die de strijd voor de vrijheid in de ether destijds voortzetten. Walter Galle zal het programma opdragen aan Rob Olthof als blijk voor al datgene hij voor de zeezenders heeft betekend. Het programma komt live vanaf het zendschip van Radio Waddenzee, de Jenni Baynton, dat op 31 augustus buitengaats ter hoogte van de haven van Harlingen voor anker zal liggen.

Again not being rude - could the Dutch based folks please say hello?

I would second what you are saying Eric.
At risk of sounding rude , This is an English language forum about UK or worldwide technology and broadcasting subjects. Few , if any of the Anorak nation readers speak Dutch to any worthwhile degree, myself included. Posting about low power stations that broadcast to a very small area that none of us can hear is pointless. Also , if i hear of any more commemorative events for offshore stations , i think i will scream. It was a great period but was such a long time ago now. The world has changed. Radio Caroline has been done to death as well , even though it is still going in some form.

The 1395 kHz is now off air and it is possible that the "Jenni Baynton" now will be towed to the Waddenzee (this ship has no own motor) and after that the 1395 kHz will then on air again but then with more power! Read about this on http://www.radioseagull.com/news.html Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.

...the 1395 kHz is still off air! It is now not known when it will on air again! Nico.

Hello everyone. Around 9:30 AM and also from 11 AM till nearly Midday today there was heard non-stop music on the 1395 kHz AM from the "Jenni Baynton" which is now anchored in the Waddensea outside the harbour of Harlingen. But because I am not at home I can now NOT listen to Radio Seagull on the AM. Who of you can now confirm that the 1395 is on air again? Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.

Hallo everyone. The 1395 kHz AM of Radio Seagull is now indeed on air with a power of about 5 kW. Who of you can receive this? Nico.
