Radio Waddenzee to become offshore broadcaster for three days

Dutch regional commercial station Radio Waddenzee is planning to become a real offshore broadcaster for three days on 1-3 May 2008.

The station will be anchoring its lightship Jenni Baynton close to the uninhabited island of Griend, off the coast between Harlingen and Terschelling. The anchorage is on the route of a boat race that takes place on 2 May, and the event will be covered live on Radio Waddenzee.

The station broadcasts on 1602 kHz with a power of 1 kW, and has two transmitters - one on the ship, and the other on land. For the special three-day broadcast, the shipborne transmitter will be used.
