Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline

Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline:

The former English sea transmitter Radio Caroline has been broadcasting since last week with more power on the medium wave. For this, the station has purchased a 'new' station and there is a Dutch touch to it: it is the old medium-wave transmitter that Radio 10 Gold used until 2013.

Oude middengolfzender Radio 10 Gold naar Radio Caroline Before Radio 10 acquired a national FM lot in 2013, the station broadcast as Radio 10 Gold at 828 kHz from Heinenoord under Rotterdam.

A 20 kW medium wave transmitter (Harris DX25) was used for this. This transmitter, after years of dust in storage, was taken over by Caroline and shipped to England.

Meanwhile, the new transmitter is operational for Caroline and the radio station broadcasts with more power. With what power is sent out, the radio station does not want to say, but rumors are that it is 4 kW. As a result, the reception has also improved considerably in the Netherlands.

Caroline was officially licensed by the British government in 2017 to broadcast permanently on the medium wave. This was striking, because no new AM permits are actually issued anymore. Caroline was assigned the frequency 648 kHz, which was used by BBC World Service for many years. Broadcast from Orfordness on the English east coast.

Last summer Caroline granted permission to increase the broadcasting capacity. [RadioWereld.NL]
