QSL: Unique Gold 675

It was a surprise to find an announcement belonging to Unique Gold on 675 kHz when reviewing my recordings from March 2023. Usually another Dutch station, Radio Calypso, owns this channel leaving little room for anything else. It was thus a surprise to also hear pop music in the background one night. The pop music turned out to originate from Unique Gold, one of several stations branded under a Unique umbrella name. In addition to Unique Gold which plays oldies music, there’s also “Unique Smooth”, “Unique Classic Rock” and even a channel called “Unique Offshore Tribute”.

Unique Gold is the only one broadcast on mediumwave, the other stations can only be heard through Internet streaming. The transmitter is located in the town of Wijchen, not far away from Nijmegen. Owner Hans Coenen kindly confirmed my recording with an e-mail this week.
