\"RadioNederland\"<\/a>Last week, I received a message from\u00a0Peter De Groot<\/a>, who announced a special broadcast of Radio Netherlands Worldwide (RNW).<\/p>\n

RNW has been off the air for more than 2.5 years, so we can assume this was not sponsored by RNW.<\/p>\n

Though scheduling (and the fact I forgot to start a spectrum recording–!) interfered with my ability to listen to the first broadcast on January 17, I was able to catch the January 18 broadcast at 01:00 UTC on 7,570 kHz. The show was relayed by WRMI.<\/p>\n

The broadcast came in so strong, when I heard the interval signal, it instantly transported me back to the days when Hilversum targeted eastern North America. Gave me chill bumps.<\/p>\n

I was able to record the entire program but did not include the WRMI station ID before and after the special.<\/p>\n

For your listening pleasure, one full hour of Radio Netherlands Worldwide via WRMI in Florida USA–click here to download the recording as an MP3<\/a>, or simply listen via the embedded player below. Enjoy:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/RNWSpecialviaWRMI7.57MHz18Jan2015\/RNW-SpecialviaWRMI-7.57MHz-18Jan2015.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

This recording was made with my Elad FDM-S2<\/a> hooked up to a large horizontal delta loop antenna.<\/em><\/p>\n

Note: I will reach out to WRMI to see if the person or group behind the broadcast\u00a0plans to issue QSL cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
