Dutch public network Radio 5 on the air on 1251 kHz from Limburg

Dutch public network Radio 5 is back on mediumwave via the 10 kW transmitter at Hulsberg on 1251 kHz. This transmitter, which serves the province of Limburg in the south of the Netherlands, had been carrying Radio 1 in parallel with 747 kHz since the collapse of the mast at Hoogersmilde in the north of the country two weeks ago. But since FM reception of Radio 1 in Limburg is good, there is no need to use mediumwave as well.

However the main mediumwave transmitter on 747 kHz will continue to carry Radio 1 instead of Radio 5 for as long as necessary to serve parts of the provinces of Gelderland, North Brabant and South Holland where FM reception is patchy. It isn’t yet clear how long this situation will last.
