World music Radio Transmitter Update

World music Radio Transmitter Update

3965 kHz went on the air October 29th 2025 from Hvidovre (Copenhagen), 24/7, with 600W. After a couple of days something went wrong and power fell to approx. 50W. Yesterday broadcasting on 3965 was stopped. The transmitter must be repaired. Hopefully back on the air soon.

5930 kHz now 24/7 from Ishøj (Copenhagen) with 600W. The transmitter site for 5930 was Bramming (near Esbjerg) until October 5th 2025 with 150W, and then Ishøj until there was an issue with the audio feed. So – back from Bramming  November 6th till November 15th. But since yesterday November 15th at 13 UTC – 5930 is back on the air from the Ishøj site. Bramming is kept as a backup site for the time being.  

15700 kHz – daily 08 -16 UTC. Transmitter site North of Randers. Power: 300W.

25800 kHz – 24/7. Transmitter site is Mårslet, South of Aarhus. Power is around 150W, but there are some issues with the transmitter.  

And a note to the QSL-hunters. The World Music Radio QSL-card for 2025 has now been designed and QSL's will finally be sent out (full details printed cards – and no details eQSLs) before year end. Address for reception reports: wmr@wmr.dk.   Printed cards available only for return postage (10 euro). Can be paid via PayPal to wmr@wmr.dk . Apologies for the serious delay.

Radio208 now on 5805 kHz

After four unsuccessful attempts over the last couple of months today Radio208 finally began broadcasting on shortwave on 5805 kHz. The American built 250 Watts transmitter for 5805 kHz blew up three times in the process. Then a new British built 250 Watt transmitter was purchased, but it turned out that the maximum power it could radiate was 164 Watt.  However it's a fine transmitter, so this transmitter has now successfully been put into operation – running about 75 Watts at present;  will be increased to 150 Watts later.

The transmitter site is Hvidovre, a suburb of Copenhagen and the aerial is a dipole.

This is the first time for more than 30 years that shortwave broadcasting is being carried out from Copenhagen. Radio Denmark ceased broadcasting from its Herstedvester site on in February 1990.

Radio208 still continuous broadcasting on 1440 kHz (500 W) from Ishøj, also a suburb of Copenhagen.

Both transmitters (1440 and 5805 kHz) are running 24/7.
