QSL: Radio 1224 1224

Yet another QSL from a low powered Dutch station: Radio 1224 was heard several times on 1224 kHz last March. Reception definitely best after the SER stations faded out in the mornings and again before the SER stations faded in in the afternoons. Radio 1224 was the only Dutch station we noted on 1224 kHz this time, a frequency where we have picked up several other Dutch stations on previous DX-peditions.

Operator Teun Lagerweij confirmed my audio recording a couple of days ago. As Teun is also a HAM, with the call sign PA3GDL, he knows all about DX-ers and appreciates reception reports. Radio 1224 has 14 different DJs aboard according to Teun, most of them broadcasting Dutch “piratenhits”. The station in located in the town of Lunteren in the central parts of The Netherlands and broadcasts with a power of 100 watts.
