World Music Radio back on the air !!
Many European short wave listeners will recall the jingle "Come along with
us - we've got a good thing going - WORLD MUSIC RADIO". Now this popular
station of the 70'ies and 80'ies will be back on the airwaves again very
soon.
The new World Music Radio - WMR - will commence broadcasting as of May 31st
1997 and will be on the air every Saturday and Sunday at 1800-2200 UTC on
two frequencies: 3345 kHz (for Southern Africa only) and 6290 kHz for "the
rest of the World". The transmiter site is South Africa, and Africa will be
the prime target area for the new broadcasts of WMR. However the strong
signals of the 250 kW transmitter is also beleived to be well heard in
parts of Southern Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
World Music Radio will - as the station has been doing in the past - play
the best of the current hits and the best of the hits from the past -
presented in a personal, informal and friendly style.
The antenna beam of the 250 kW transmitter on 6290 kHz has not been decided
yet. In order to find the best solution test transmissions will be
conducted on May 8th, 10th and 11th on this frequency, and listeners all
over the World - but in Africa in particular - are invited to monitor these
transmissions and let us know which ones are received at a good level. Here
the schedule on 6290 kHz for May 8th, 10th and 11th.
Antenna no. 1: 1800-1828, 2000-2028 and 2100-2128 UTC
Antenne no. 2: 1900-1928, 2030-2058 and 2130-2200 UTC
Antenna no. 3: 1830-1858 and 1930-1958 UTC
Monitoring observations are requested by fax (+45 70 222 888) or by e-mail
to wmr@xxxxxxxxxxx (but please observe that there will be no QSL-card
available for these test-transmissions; if someone desperately need a
verification we will provide a QSL-letter on request. A QSL-card will be
made available for the "offficial" broadcasts as of May 31st 1997. By then
reception reports should be forwarded to: WMR, P. O. Box 112, DK-8900
Randers, Denmark - enclosing return postage).
