[HCDX]: New Norwegian Tx to test

["Bjarne Mjelde" <bjarne.mjelde@xxxxxxxx>]

>Press Release from DX-News / DX-Listeners' Club, Norway.
>********************************************************
>
>In mid May the work at the new NRK 675 kHz transmitter at Rost will be
>finalized, and the new transmitter will be put into opeeration.  Frequency
>is the same as the old Bodo transmitter, which will be closed down.  Power
>will remain at 10 kW, although the new site is capable of running up to 20
>kW.  The new transmitter combined with an excellent location almost sitting
>in seawater should improve the signal compared to the old situation.
>
>Following an initative by the DX-Listeners' Club in Norway it seems likely
>that the switch from the old Bodo transmitter to this new facility will be
>marked through exclusive transmission on this frequency.
>
>We have suggested to NRK as the programme provider and Norkring as the
>tecnical operator of the transmitters, that a special broadcast should be
>made on the last night Bodo is in operation, and the first day of broadcast
>from Rost.  The decision on the extent of special programmes still is not
>made, but what CAN be said is that it is very likely that the event will be
>marked in some way.
>
>According to the current workplan, Rost will be put into service on May
>14th, but with possibility of a couple of days plus/minus.
>
>Closer to the actual transition date, we will carry specific details on our
>web-page http://www.dxlc.com/ as to exact dates, times and extent of the
>special broadcast(s).
>
>Reception reports will be most welcome, details will be available on our
>web-page.
