Sweden: The Asphalt Telegraph - Asfaltstelegrafen 1494 kHz

 

Hello! In the midst of all the closure hysteria on mediumwave, we invest here in Sweden!! Since our national broadcaster had stopped broadcasting 13 years ago, we think it’s time to invest again!

We have purchased a brand new 1 kW AM transmitter that is tuned to 1494 kHz. Unfortunately, we have not received a permanent license, which is completely incomprehensible, but we have in any case received a 14-day license from December 23, 2023 to January 5, 2024 on 1494 kHz again. The station has moved within the country [Sweden], so now the reception may be a little worse to the south, but still better north and east in Finland instead. Unfortunately, we will not be on air every day, we at the station have a regular job to attend to.

All listener mail is welcome at the following email: 1494khz@gmail.com
