The Netherlands celebrates 100 years of radio

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Gérard Koopal, who writes:

Dear Thomas, on November 6 it is exactly 100 years ago that Hans Idzerda transmitted the first radio broadcast in the Hague, the Netherlands.

To commemorate this event, the VRZA has a special broadcast using the original Zeedijk studio from radio Veronica and historical NOS/NRU studios. The broadcast is from 10.00 till 21.00 hours CET and there is an internet stream available.

Also rebroadcasting through some lpam stations. For more information see this website (in Dutch):

Greetings, Gérard Koopal

Thank you for sharing this, Gérard!

Spread the radio love

    Of radio broadcast.
    I was a regular listener of Radio Nederland Short wave broadcasts way back in 70 and 80s. I used to enjoy each and every show.

    I still have Radio Nederland HAPPY STATION
