5800khz wonderful days

Post by radionortheast » Tue Jun 03, 2025 9:25 am

I’m hearing charley lownoise wonderful days , wonder what it is, sounds like a dutch pirate gone into quite an old traditional song
Quite lucky I have one of those tef86 radios sometimes when its switched off it goes all the way back to 1700khz, I have to tune all the way back up to 6mhz, as thats were stations seem to operate. 8-) I did have quite strong signals in the 5mhz band last week guessing some kind of interternational broadcasters. :tup
I’m getting quite good fades on 5800, heard someone talking, great to hear as I don’t hear dutch pirates on mw on an evening this time of year.
I can hear another on 5860khz,, playing something dancey, signal is much better fading is really weird sounds like a plane going over, great to hear I can hear a dutch guy talking on it, some silly music in the backround
boney m megamix on 5990, then abba has to be dutch, jump for joy 2unlimited, wish I could hear these on fm, the reception on them is unbeilable snowy.

5800 is used by 2 Dutch Pirates. Contikenzo & WDR.
You will usuall find Contikenzo on air on sunday evenings, with a second transmitter in the 48 meter band.
WDR often run on 5858 too, as well as 5800.
Mike Radio has been active on 5840 & 5860

I know that people were saying conditions are poor whenever I tune around on an evening I hear something, I did hear 5840 too

something there on 5830 last night, heard funky town playing on 6285, steal my sunshine on 5955, 5940 sounded like some polka music, someone was playing classical music on 6140
