KBC to broadcast daily on medium wave

 Andy Sennitt reported this afternoon on the PCJ Facebook page:

From https://www.facebook.com/TheMightyKbc

"We are delighted to announce that from the 1st June 2015, KBC will be heard daily on medium wave. We will broadcast on 1602 kHz between 07.00 and 19.00 CET from transmitters aboard the LV Jenni Baynton.

Our Sunday shortwave transmissions will continue on 6095 and we will add an extra hour onto 7375 transmission.

"To facilitate these latest changes, our Saturday 6095 transmissions will end on Saturday March 28th but all regular shows will be maintained on a new KBC Internet stream which will be available online 24/7. Also, look out later this year for KBC on DAB+

"We hope you enjoy our new outlets and will join KBC on MW, SW, DAB+ and Online. Check out our website kbcradio.eu and our FB page facebook.com/TheMightyKBc for all the latest news."

Andy adds:
Just to clarify: KBC will be replacing Radio Waddenzee on 1602 from 1 June. There will be no change to Radio Seagull, which will continue to broadcast on 1602 at 1900-0700 Dutch time. Later this year, both stations will share a channel on the regional DAB+ mutiplex. Radio Seagull will continue 24h on the internet.

Channel 292 off air for two weeks

Friends of Radio Channel 292,

From March 8th until March 22nd we will be off air, due to preparations for our second power amplifier.  Exception: On March 22nd from 10 to 11 UTC you can listen to a new program for the DARC (German Amateur Radio Club) on 6070 kHz with 100 kW; perhaps we can start the 10 kW transmitter on the same day in the evening. During the next weeks we hope that we can increase power as planned.

Now, when summer comes and the skip zone during the night becomes smaller, a lot of listeners asked us tu run the station at nighttime, too. We would like to, but the problem is, that this would duplicate the energy costs, without creating any new income. And because these costs (not to mention all the other costs) are only covered for about 60% by rented airtime, this is not possible.

We don't want to ask for donations, but we can make you a proposal: Who wants to support us, can book sponsoring for broadcasts at night. This can be for a whole night with 12 hours, or 2 x 6 hours in the evening. For this we need 36 €; who can't afford this, may book 6 hours for 18 €. The sponsor can choose, if he wants in his time to hear our regular music program, or a re-broadcast of an Offshore Station of his choice. If he wants, his name will be published on our homepage and in our news mail, and in short spots during his programme, that we produce without any costs for him (for Offshore re-broadcasts only possible at the beginning, at the end and between  blocks of programming). Or, if wanted, completely anonymously.

Or you subscribe for maybe every first Saturday night each month, or how you like; can be canceled at any time. If you like to support us in this way, please send us a mail!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards
