Radio Netherlands Dutch service closes down Radio Netherlands has begun its 24-hour farewell transmission in Dutch that may also see the final transmission from Orfordness in Suffolk.
Various frequencies and sites will be used during the 24 hours but for Europe it is simplest to remember that 5955 kHz (Wertachtal) and 9895 kHz (Nauen) will be on throughout. I0t will also be on 1296 kHz from Orfordness for the whole 24 hours. As things stand, this may be the last ever transmission from Orfordness.
After BBC World Service dropped its two hours a day of DRM on 1296 kHz in March, Radio Netherlands in Dutch has been the only user of the site (648 kHz has been silent since last year).
No new clients have been announced for Orfordness, so Babcock will have to decide whether to keep the station in mothballs in the hope of a customer appearing, to sell it as a working transmitting station or to dismantle it and hand the site over to the National Trust. (
