Arctic Radio Club celebrates the 2017 Convention in Jönköping, Sweden May 6 and 7th. Our radio station will be on the air with many different types of programs, mostly in Swedish.

The transmitter will have a power of 250 W (ERP) on 1593 kHz and the antenna is located on a high hill near Lake Vättern. In the evening of May 5th we will start tests. There will be station identifications in English, too.

The official start will be May 6th at 1900 UTC and the programs will be running until 1100 UTC on Sunday noon. On the 7th there will be a program dedicated to the local SR P4 Radio Jönköping that celebrates its 40th year of broadcasting this year. This program starts at 1000 UTC and will be in Swedish until the station signs off at 1100 UTC.

Radio Revival Sweden plans frequency testing in mid-January

Special thanks to Ronny Forslund for updating our readers on their upcoming testing on shortwave radio. For additional information, stay tuned to the Shortwave Central and Radio Revival blogs.

Update from the Sala transmitter site in Sweden:

In addition to the usual channels 3950 and 6065 kHz we have registered the following frequencies:

3970, 3980, 6035, 9815, 9875, 11745 and 11755 kHz.

We will be testing the other frequencies by mid-January. If you would like to book airtime during these tests, please contact Ronny at info (at) rock.x.se as soon as possible. For those wanting to reach the British Isles with a good signal, the 31 metre band is a good alternative.

We have two transmitters: one 5 kW rig which can broadcast in AM (carrier + both sidebands) and a 10 kW transmitter which can use A3H mode (LSB + carrier) or SSB. The 5 kW transmitter is primarily used in the 75 metre band.
