WMR Newsletter - May 11th 2004

After more than a year with preparations, and numerous delays and set-
backs, World Music Radio (WMR) is finally about to return to the
airwaves. Test transmissions on 15810 kHz were carried out from Sunday
May 9th till Monday morning - and are again on the air right now.

Within a few days - perhaps tomorrow - we will try testing on 5815 kHz
- and then 15810 kHz will probably be switched off for a few days.

The power on 15810 kHz is 0.5 kW - and on 5815 kHz it'll be 10 kW.

The test-programme consists of test tones and non-stop music and will
be irregular for the next couple of weeks before the "official" re-
launch in a few weeks time.

Programmes are - as of today - coming live from the new WMR studio
near Randers in Denmark and transmissions are originating from a
transmitter site near Karup in the western part of Denmark.

We are hoping soon to commence broadcasting on a FM channel in Denmark
and via the Internet as well.

While WMR has been off the air since late 1997, the history of WMR
dates back to 1967, when the station first went on the air. In the
period from the mid 70'ies till now WMR has been renting airtime via
foreign transmitters - but now for the first time since 1973 WMR is
back through its own transmitters.
