After years of testing and planning, 945 kHz mediumwave from Latvia should
finally come alive under the name Radio Nord. A test transmission is planned
to run from 0900 UTC on September 24 until 2100 UTC on September 26. Radio
Nord will broadcast in Latvian with an oldies format and should be on the
air 24 hours a day from October 1, reports Bernd Trutenau on the mwdx
mailing list. Trutenau says that the start was delayed by the certification
procedures for the 2.7 kW Blyth transmitter.

Earlier (see DXing.info news in December 2002)

Gold 945AM were testing the frequency of 945 kHz, and Radio Gold 945AM was
planning to start regular transmissions in early 2003.

Also in October, Trutenau reports that KREBS TV is planning to conduct test
transmissions on 576 kHz from Kuldiga in western Latvia with 100 kW of
power. This frequency will be made available for leasing to foreign
broadcasters.
