QSL Radio Oltenia Craiova 1314 kHz

March 6, 2023 / / 0 Comments

I was surprised to receive Radio Oltenia Craiova in pretty good quality here in the Netherlands, despite their low power (15 kW) on 1314 kHz. My report was answered with a very polite email from the English Service of Radio Romania International. Not sure if this will deliver a QSL Radio Oltenia Craiova though…. Maybe the station will respond directly.
Craiova by the way is the capital of the Oltenia region in south west Romania. The region has a great history. It was part of Walachia with Vlad Dracula as its most famous prince.

QSL Kilrock 1287 kHz

March 3, 2023 / / 2 Comments

Kilrock is a low power medium wave station (LPAM) operating from the village of ‘s Gravendeel, southwest of the city of Dordrecht, the Netherlands. The village is located on the banks of the tidal river “Dordtsche Kil”. So now you know where the station name comes from.
But Kilrock also sounds like Kilroy. “Kilroy was here” was graffiti drawn by American troops in World War II. The text was often accompanied by a man looking over a wall… as in the Kilrock QSL, which is one of my favourites.

QSL Radio Lenta 1557 kHz

Radio Lenta, Lithuania can be heard on 1557 kHz. With frequent IDs as “Nasha Lenta” (Our Band) it is broadcasting information in Russian. The Lithuanian RTV centre was so kind to send a confirmation within a day, but they are not the content owner.
A Dutch foundation “Next Level Initiatives” is operating here with permission from the Dutch “Commissariaat voor de Media”. According to radiovisie.eu : “There is no political motive or government involvement. The sole purpose of the station is to provide uncensored, verified information to Russia and Belarus.”

QSL Smooth Radio 1359 kHz

I got a kind email reply from Kelsey at “Global” via Customer.Support@global.com confirming today’s reception of Smooth Radio 1359 kHz from Baker’s Wood, United Kingdom. I’m really grateful for the reply, many of todays modern network stations don’t seem to bother.
Older radio enthusiasts know that this station started back in 1981 as Essex Radio when Independent Local Radio was introduced. I have a 1983 QSL from them. In 1989 they were forced to split AM and FM operation and they continued as Breeze AM and Essex FM (later Heart). In 1996 I received the Breeze QSL.
Fast forward 30 years and now it is called “Smooth Radio” which is part of “Global”. “Global” is also operating iconic stations like Capital Radio and LBC…

Smooth Radio started as Essex Radio in 1981.

A QSL Radio Paradijs, 1476 kHz. This LPAM station with 100 Watts is located at 16 kilometers distance from my QTH in Utrecht, the Netherlands. And indeed, as stated on the QSL email I received today I can receive this station on a pocket radio as well.

QSL Radio Paradijs 1467 AM: just 16 kilometers away!

UPDATE: a nice station ID of Radio Paradijs on 1467 AM , Jan 25th, 2026.
