Given the incessant closure of MW stations, Radio Six International [1467 kHz] wants, in its own small way, to do something constructive about it. For many years now we’ve had regular broadcasts on shortwave (latterly an hour every Saturday night) but we are hoping to switch to medium wave across Europe. Not easy, we know, as although even very low powered stations like Chichester Hospital Radio appear in the Eurolog, we want to make the listening experience easy and comfortable for as much of Europe as possible. So we’re doing a test on SATURDAY 7th MARCH between 23:00 and 00:00 GMT. The transmitter is at Roumoules in France, the power is 1,000kW and the beam is 325 degrees. That ought to provide a decent signal on small ferrite aerials in most of the continent except the Netherlands, where stations like Radio Paradijs use the same frequency. Do let us know what reception is like via the group message board. If the results of the test are encouraging, we plan a weekly programme at this time on this transmitter.
Medium wave is not dead!
