[cma-l] Netherlands proposal to open medium wave band to low-power stations

[Ian Hickling]

I wonder whether potential public broadcasting users in the Netherlands will be any more enthusiastic about the appeal to listeners of AM than we are here in the UK?
I doubt it - they're a canny lot over there.
Tot ziens AM!

Subject: [cma-l] Netherlands: proposal to open medium wave band to low-power	stations

NETHERLANDSLow power medium wave in the Netherlands. After switching off a number of high power transmitters in 2015, at the end of December the Dutch government has launched a public consultation on ‘opening up’ the medium wave band for radio and non-radio applications with 'low power' and with limited government regulation. When referring to 'low power' this means both a power in the range of 1 – 5 watts (site coverage) and 50 – 100 watts (municipal coverage). The idea is that the same frequencies will be re-used across the country. They will be handed out on the basis of a first-come, first served basis. Deadline for comments is 14 February 2016.Marcel Rommerts (12/1-2016)
