QSL Radio T-Pot 918 kHz

April 9, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 2 Comments

Radio T-Pot is a low power AM station broadcasting from Gasselternijveen, a small village in the province of Drenthe, the Netherlands. I made my reception during a stay in the nearby village of Exloo, some 15 km south of Gasselternijveen. On my home QTH Radio Monique from Velsen is so dominant that it seems impossible to receive Radio T-Pot.
Radio T-Pot got his name as parody on the iPod. Note that T-Pot is pronounced as Theepot, which is Dutch for teapot, I guess it adds to the fun!
The station is on the air on weekdays between 12.30 to approx 20.30 local time, saturday/sunday from 9.00 to 21.30 h local time, according to their facebook page.
Below you can see the e-QSL I received accompanied by a friendly email from station manager Theo Postma via radiotpot@ziggo.nl

QSL Radio Babylona 1008 kHz

April 8, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Earlier this year I received an e-QSL for my reception of Radio Babylona. This station from the province of Groningen in NE part of the Netherlands can be heard at my home QTH, but I made my reception during a stay in nearby Exloo, over a distance of only some 10 kilometers. This explains the excellent SINPO rating.
Originally Radio Babylona was on air all week, but this was a bit too much work, so now you can listen to the station in the weekend only. You can read more about this station on their website.

QSL Antena Satelor 1314 kHz

April 7, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Via the English Desk of Radio Romania International I received this email as QSL Antena Satelor 1314 kHz.
On this frequency Antena Satelor has two transmitters: one in Valu lui Traian (near Constanta), and one in Timisoara. Antena Satelor is a state owned station that started in 1991. The programmes target the audience living in the rural villages in Romania. For listeners outside Romania this comes with the benefit that you can listen to very nice folk music from Romania on this station.

And ofcourse you can also listen to the English service of Radio Romania!

QSL Neverland Radio 1035 AM

April 2, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

I received a polite email QSL Neverland Radio 1035 AM. With 100 Watt this LPAM (Low Power AM) station broadcasts from the city of Venlo, in the province of Limburg in The Netherlands. That is about 120 km SE from my location, and during day time their signal strength was low but without interference.
I couldn’t find a website for this station, but I found a YouTube channel on which they seem to run a live video when they are on the air. I received them between 14:21 – 15:00 h Dutch local time. According to MWLIST they are on air Saturdays only between 10 – 14 h UTC.

QSL Radio Z100 Milano 1350 kHz

April 1, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 7 Comments

I received a polite email as QSL Radio Z100 Milano 1350 kHz. The station operates with 1 kW from Villa Estense, a location near Milano, Italy. TWR Armenia is off air late in the evening, and Z100 came in quite strong, without interference. Apparently they also have a transmitter at 990 kHz, but here SER Bilbao is dominant.

Kilrock is installing a new antenna

March 25, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Kilrock is installing an new antenna. The previous one went down in a storm. I’m a fan of this station because of their choice of music. They also have one of the nicest e-QSL cards you can get! The You-Tube video gives you a pretty good idea about the LPAM (low power AM) scene in the Netherlands… I’m told they hope that their antenna is up and running by Easter. All is “weather prevailing”. And as a cyclist I can tell you weather hasn’t been much in the last weeks even though it is supposed to be spring.
Anyway for you radio enthusiasts in Europe, you should have better opportunities to receive this nice station from ‘s Gravendeel on 1287 AM!

QSL 1134AM Ooijen

March 25, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

1134 AM is another LPAM (low power AM) station that you can hear from the Netherlands. It operates from the village of Ooijen, about 51 kilometers SW of my QTH. Their beautiful e-QSL gives a good impression of the pretty scenery in and around Ooijen.
As they say themselves on their website www.1134am.nl :
“Of course Am is no longer of this time, but what could be more fun to receive your favorite music on your own radio instead of your telephone or fm and dab. Am brings that little bit more atmosphere for real enthusiasts and can be received from great distances“
I couldn’t agree more!

QSL VOCM St. John’s 590 kHz

March 18, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 2 Comments

VOCM is one of the Transatlantic mediumwave stations from Canada that can be heard frequently. But I never managed to get a QSL from them. That changed this year when Loren Butler was so kind to send me a confirmation of my reception of their “Open Line” program.

QSL Regional Radio Umbria 1440 kHz

March 13, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Regional Radio is a station making programs for the Umbria region in Italy. It uses a few low power mediumwave transmitters to do so. I got a very nice fully detailed e-QSL from Regional Radio following reception of their 400 W transmitter on 1440 kHz, a frequency that is often dominated by Radio 208 from Copenhagen.
Learn more about Regional Radio on their website.

QSL Columbia AM 1395 kHz

March 11, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Columbia AM is a low power AM (LPAM) station broadcasting from Aalst in the Netherlands. There are a few towns with the name Aalst, but this is the one at 51.78N 5.12E, along the river “Afgedamde Maas”. Beautiful area for cycling, my other big hobby! Aalst is only 37 kilometers SE from here, but particularly at night there is sometimes interference from Radio Seabreeze, another LPAM.
I received an e-QSL from Columbia AM for my report to studio@columbia-am.nl. Columbia AM has a long history as radio pirate. You can read more about that on their website.
