Annual longwave holiday programs slated
Annual NDR Gruß an Bord program on Christmas Eve
The MBR B-24 schedule lists the annual NDR Gruß an Bord (Greetings on Board for seafarers) show, on 24 December from 1800-2100 UTC on the following frequencies
The 'Gruss an Bord' NDR Hamburg has been around since 1953. After the end of the German-language shortwave programs of Deutsche Welle, it is carried by the NDR alone. Last year, the chairwoman of the Association of German Shipowners, Gaby Bornheim, honored the seventy-year tradition as follows: "'Greetings on board' has a tradition, yes, it is a tradition and certainly not an anachronism. Even if today, thanks to increasing digitalization, it is possible for sailors on board to speak to their relatives at home almost at any time, 'Greetings on board' is still something very special. It is about the connection between our sailors and their loved ones at home, who feel the separation so painfully, especially at the festival of love. The emotional, melancholic, but also happy messages from the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children of our sailors reflect the life that goes on, at home and on board. And this connection between the two, this bridge between land and sea, is needed today just as much as it was 70 years ago!" (Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, Kurier Weltschau / Bieners DX Digest Nov 10)
