Radio Nord Revival: setting up the FM rig for Stockholm 102,7 MHz


This film was made by Ingemar Lindqvist of the Radio Nord Revival Group. Be sure to visit his website Radiohistoriska Arkivet for lots of info, clips and pics of Radio Nord and other interesting stations.

Radio Nord Revival på Facebook

Ni vet väl att vi även har en Facebook-grupp? Du som finns på FB är välkommen att gå med. Adress https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/144438508950612/ eller sök på Radio Nord Revival. Pernilla B skriver följande:

Åh SNÄLLA kan inte Radio Nord Revival få spela permanent!?!? Underbart! Ryktet sprider sig som en löpeld inom raggarkulturen! SÅ härligt att få lyssna på detta!

Tack för dina vänliga ord, Pernilla. Det värmer! Men tyvärr får vi nog acceptera att det är slut snart, liksom Radio Nord stängde för 50 år sedan. Så passa på att lyssna nu - 102,7 går kanon i Stockholm!

Radio Nord Revival on the air in Stockholm on 102,7 MHz

On Sunday, June 24, we installed the FM transmitter which is now putting out a great signal over Stockholm on 102,7 MHz. The transmitter is housed at the home of Göran Lindemark, one of the Radio Nord Revival initiators. Below you see the the transmitter in Göran's living room. On top an Orban Optimod sound processor, in the middle is the exciter and at the bottom the power amplifier. Licensed power is 100 watts and the aerial mast is on top of a 35 m. high building which in itself is located on a hill - one of the highest points of Södermalm in Stockholm.


Göran Lindemark in his home studio where his news service Radions Nyheter is produced. His news broadcasts are heard on many stations all over Sweden.


Radio Nord Revival's technical wizzard Bernt Nyberg, togeher with Ingemar Lindqvist setting up the aerial. Bernt owns the transmitting equipment used and he will broadcast the Radio Nord Revival programmes from Sala on MW, SW and FM. Bernt runs an engineering company offering specialized knowledge in many various fields - do check out his website if you have any special technical needs.


The word "vertigo" is definitely not in Bernt's vocabulary....


Up and running! This is a special antenna designed for circular polarization, manufactured in Italy. It is actually omni-directional albeit with a minor reduction of radiation backwards. In this case this reduction is eastwards, towards the Baltic Sea. However, good reception has still been obtained in for instance Lidingö and the Stockholm archipelago.
