Low power mediumwave in the Netherlands. After switching off a number of high power transmitters in 2015, at the end of December the Dutch government has launched a public consultation on ‘opening up’ the mediumwave band for radio and non-radio applications with ‘low power’ and with limited government regulation. When referring to ‘low power’ this means both a power in the range of 1 – 5 watts (site coverage) and 50 – 100 watts (municipal coverage). The idea is that the same frequencies will be re-used across the country. They will be handed out on the basis of a first-come, first served basis. Deadline for comments is 14 February 2016.
Radio Ulster @ 40 – Filmed as part of the BBC Radio Ulster 40th Anniversary Gala Concert in the Ulster Hall, this film features BBC Radio Ulster presenters and contributors reciting an extract from the poem “The Dane Tree” by Alfred Noyes, a celebration of airwaves and the power of radio. The poem was originally read at the official opening of the Daventry Transmitting Station in 1925 – the transmitter allowed the BBC to broadcast radio content across the world, with what was then called The Empire Service. Today it is known as The World Service.
Voice of Peace (Hebrew: קול השלום, Kol HaShalom) was an offshore radio station that served the Middle East for 20 years from the former Dutch cargo vessel MV Peace (formally MV Cito), anchored off Tel Aviv. Founded by Abie Nathan and the New York-based Peace Ship Foundation, the station broadcast almost continuously between 19 May 1973 and November 1993. The station was relaunched but solely as an online station in August 2009. A second online channel was added in 2014 called The Voice of Peace Classics.
