Another view from the tower. You can actually see the city of Stockholm from the tower although it is several miles away so we hope to be able to reach our capital on FM 91,8 MHz. Photos by Tore Andersson, Radio Nord Revival's chief engineer on the Fortress.

Radio Nord Revival back on the air again October 26-27!

It's now 2018 and Radio Nord Revival will be broadcasting from the Waxholm Fortress on October 26-27 in connection with a dramatic walk focusing on the year of 1962, arranged by the Waxholm Fortress Museum http://www.vaxholmsfastning.se/? Radio Nord will play a part in this walk, broadcasting live from the good ship Constantia.

We will be broadcasting on SW, alternating between 5995 or 6035 kHz, using a power of maximum 500 W. In addition we will have a FM transmitter on 91,8 MHz using a maximum of 60 W. Both transmitters will be located on the fortress.

Reception reports are welcome to info@rock.x.se   You are also welcome to comment about the reception in this blog. Shoiuld you like a printed QSL card by post you can send your reception report plus return postage ($2 or 2 IRCs) to:

On Saturday, October 27, a number of Radio Nord veterans will be joining us at the fortress. The museum will be closed during the day but if you happen to be in the neighbourhood you are welcome to join us, too. Boat transportation is available from Waxholm by Waxhomsbolaget. We expect to have a small exhibition of vintage studio equipment like that which was used by Radio Nord.

You may expect test transmissions earlier during the week.
