Magic Jazz now on mediumwave 1557 kHz
Amsterdam-based commercial radio station Magic Jazz is now broadcasting on mediumwave 1557 kHz 24 hours a day. Amsterdam City Council has not yet given permission for a permanent transmitter site, so the station is being forced to use a very low power transmitter in the city centre.
A spokesperson for the station said it’s incomprehensible that the national government can award the station a licence, but a lower authority can frustrate its plans. The spokesperson said that a number of suitable locations have been identified and discussed with the council, but a signed agreement is still lacking. The problem with the current location is that because it’s in a built-up area, only low power can be used to avoid causing RF interference rather than the 1 kW for which it is licensed. The station is, however, also available to digital customers of cable company UPC, and via the Internet.

Radio Peace, Sudan changing frequency
This week, the Radio Peace technical team is performing routine maintenance. In the process of tuning our transmitters, the 4750 kHz transmitter frequency will be changed to 4740 kHz to eliminate interference from a broadcaster in Uganda who began using the frequency about four years after Radio Peace started its operation on 4750. We’d appreciate monitoring reports. We can be contacted at this email -address. Other news about Radio Peace can be found at our website: www.GlobalEndeavor.org.
