Dear DX-friends,
The Kvitsoy and Sveio shortwave transmitters are supposed to make their
final sign off at 2255 UTC tonight.
Again today I noticed that Merlin had replaced the NRK broadcasts at
xx.00 - xx.29 by relaye of the BBC World Service in English. However at
2000 an announcement in Norwegian was made, and 2000-2015 the New Year
message from the Crown Prince Haakon was broadcast in Norwegian.
The broadcasts in Danish continue at xx.30-xx.55 relaying the domestic
newscasts.
The final newscast was that of 1730 UTC and the final broadcast from
Denmark is now repeated as follows:
2030-2055 on 7490 Sveio and 9980 Kvitsoy.
2130-2155 on 7490 Sveio and 7560 Kvitsoy.
2230-2255 on 7465 Kvitsoy and 7560 Sveio.
The final Danish broadcast consists of:
xx.30 An adv that SW broadcasts are closed tonight and can be replaced
by a "free" newsservice on telephone 70 11 1830 (However this is
only free, if people calls from Denmark itself !).
xx.31-xx.50 Repeat of domestic newscast from 1730 which includes:
xx.32-xx.34 Extracts of Queen Margrethe's New Year's message.
(However her greetings to Danes abroad were omitted !)
xx.40-xx.43 Extracts from the feature by Preben Lund on the
closure of the SW broadcasts which started with the inaugural message by
King Frederik IX in 1948 (xx.40-xx41)
xx51-xx52 announcement that "Due to New Year holidays, the usual Sports
news are not broadcast, but will return on Jan 02." (Also wrong because
the SW broadcasts cease tonight !)
xx.53-xx.54 piano concert
xx.54-xx.55 Interval signal: "Som en rejsenlysten flaade."
That is all from Denmark !
Best 73 and Happy New Year,
Anker Petersen
