There is a second application for an MW license in Austria with the RTR. The assigned frequency will be 1143 kHz. The station will broadcast from the Upper Austria area. The test broadcast has been approved by the RTR (Austrian licensing authority) and is scheduled for August 27th at midnight to August 29th
at midnight. The operator is expected to be on the frequency from approximately 8 a.m. on August 27th and will be on air until midnight. The exact broadcast time on the following two days has not yet been
determined.
The test will consist of a text loop and an identification signal. At my suggestion, there may also be a special QSL for the test. Since the contact does not want to be made public yet, I am offering to arrange this.
Anyone who listens to the station can send me the report, and I will then reliably forward it.

If a license is actually granted, the contact will open and provide his contact information. I was also informed that there will also be special night broadcasts with programming for DXers.
The selected frequency is practically empty except for two Spanish 5kW stations.
If the license application is successful, Austria will then have two licensed MW stations. Museumsradio from Bad Ischl is the allready second one on 1476 kHz.
