This means there will be no SW transmissions from Radio Nord Revival today. But we will continue to broadcast over various stations relaying our feed between their own programmes. Thanks to all of you who have reported our station- You can still listen through www.streamer.com and for instance www.radion.nu. The stream will go on until midnight today, the day on which Radio Nord started 60 years ago.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150466637665658496.post-7299078402453356962021-03-07T23:37:00.000+01:002021-03-07T23:37:06.828+01:00Radio Nord Revival off the air on SWSadly the 5 kW transmitter which has been used today broke down in connection with a frequency shift back to 6200 kHz. But tomorrow is a new day.... Please continue to monitor 6200 kHz as this is the frequency most likely to give good reception of the ones we have registered. Thanks for your support.

<br />
MW 1512 kHz from Kvarnberget, Vallentuna. Licensed power is 2,5 kW but we may only be using 1 kW. Antenna height is 37 metres.<br />
<br />
SW 3915 kHz from Ringvalla, Sala. Licensed power is 5 kW and the antenna height is 12 metres.<br />
<br />
SW 5810, 6065 and 9295 kHz from Ringvalla, Sala. One of the frequencies will be used at a time. Licensed power is 10 kW and the antenna height is 12 metres.<br />
<br />
SW 5770 and 6220 kHz from The Castle, Vaxholm. Licensed power is 0,5 kW and the antenna height is 12 metres. At the moment it is not clear what transmitter that will be used. This is a one-off chance to catch a broadcasting signal from The Castle - the place where the first broadcast ever in Sweden was made on September 1, 1919.<br />
<br />
Test transmissions will be made prior to the live broadcasts from The Castle and further information about these transmissions will be made here as soon as we switch on. Please comment in our blog how you are receiving us. As usual, written reception reports can be sent to<br />

Radio Nord Revival is coming back live once again! We will be broadcasting from The Castle off Vaxholm, Sweden on Saturday, August 23. This is in connection with the big Radio Day, arranged by <a href="http://www.sk0mt.net/">Täby Sändareamatörer</a>. Below is a view of our temporary QTH.<br />

<br />
We will be broadcasting on MW 1512 kHz from Kvarnberget, Vallentuna, using 1 kW of power. In addition, the programmes will be relayed from Sala over a 10 kW SW transmitter using A3H modulation plus a 5 kW rig which will operate in the 75 m.b. There are also plans for a low-powered SW transmitter broadcasting from the actual Castle.<br />
<br />
This location is historically interesting as it was from here that the very first broadcast in Sweden was made on September 1, 1919, using the facilities of coastal radio station Vaxholm Radio. A number of journalists had been invited to listen to speech and music from Vaxholm at the premises of Telegrafverket (the Telegraphy Board), Brunkebergstorg in Stockholm. This day, August 23, marks the 100th anniversary of Vaxholm Radio.<br />
<br />
As usual, a number of Radio Nord veterans will be participating in the event. If you happen to be in the Stockholm area, you are welcome to join us. You can go to Vaxholm by boat or bus from Stockholm and there are boats for The Castle from pier 9 (kajplats 9) in Vaxholm, for details check out the <a href="http://www.kastelletbnb.se/hitta-hit/batar-till-kastellet-2.html">time table</a>.<br />
<br />
Our SW frequencies have not yet been cleared but we will be back with further details as soon as we have received the license. Welcome to join us for another dose of pure radio nostalgia.

We closed down our operation on SW and MW at 0400 UTC/GMT (0600 SNT/CET) this morning and the Stockholm FM relay on 102,7 MHz a few hours later. Thank you very much for your support and positive comments about Radio Nord Revival. It was nice to have you with us as we reminisced old times and recalled a very special night on June 30th, 1962. This night also became very special 50 years later, mainly due to the input from you listeners.
