PRESS RELEASE
-----------------------------------------

RADIO NORWAY INT: FINAL FAREWELL FROM FREDRIKSTAD , 16.30-17.00 UTC -
Saturday, 18 October 1997 - 11680 kHz. A special, one-off broadcast in
English from Radio Norway International will mark the official closing
down of the SW transmitter at Fredrikstad on Saturday, 18 October.  This
will be the very last opportunity to hear and verify this site.  The
programme will contain glimpses from the history of the Fredrikstad
transmitter, along with other features concerning  the shortwave medium
and the hobby of Dxing. Radio Norway International and the SW facility
at Fredrikstad in South-Eastern Norway both came to life on 3 January
1948 when a 100 kW transmitter was inaugurated.  (Watch out for RNI's
50th anniversary celebrations early in the new year!)    The current 500
kW Thomson transmitter (now radiating 350 kW) was installed in 1976.
This transmitter was closed on 1 January 1997, following the opening of
the new 500 kW facility at Sveio II. Having remained operational since,
the Fredrikstad transmitter will now be dismantled. This special
broadcast, which is beamed to Europe and North America, is transmitted
to coincide with the Nordic DX-Championships (Nordx '97), organized by
DX-Listeners' Club of Norway.  Correct reception reports of this
broadcast will be rewarded with a special QSL-card (Finn Krone, Denmark
