QSL Radio Intiem 1008 kHz

Radio Intiem is a new LPAM station from the village of Monster near The Hague. They started testing two weeks ago, and are broadcasting with 100 W on Saturday only. Cor Hendriks from Radio Intiem ( radiointiem(at)gmail.com ) confirmed my reception report within a day:

Thanks for your email. We restarted two weeks ago after a 30-year hiatus.
We were a pirate FM station from 1984 to 1995, and now we’re legal on AM.
We broadcast only on Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
There’s also a stream available; download the My Tuner Radio app.
We’re still in the testing phase.
Greetings from Cor Hendriks of Radio Intiem in Westland.

“You can’t get closer to heaven” is a nice article (in Dutch) about the history of Radio Pirates in Westland, the region with all the greenhouses south of The Hague.

Radio Intiem wasn’t an easy catch. Normally I have the loop antenna 120/300 degrees for transatlantic reception. But it results in Radio Experience from Wageningen being dominant. I’ve often noticed that reception along the river area in the central part of The Netherlands is pretty good. So I turned the antenna 10/190 to get them at the null. But this favored Radio Transparant from Creil, who also have the benefit that their direction is over the water surface of the IJsselmeer mainly.

PA25NATO a special call sign in use during the NATO Summit The Hague

I noticed this special call sign PA25NATO a couple of time on SSTV 14230 kHz. Apparently it is in use to celebrate the upcoming NATO Summit in The Hague, The Netherlands.


It’s going to be quite the event security wise, right in one of the most densely populated areas of Europe, to the point that you think whether it wouldn’t have been wise to select a more convenient location. Good thing that I’m retired and don’t have to deal with all the road closures and resulting traffic jams in the coming weeks.
