And this from the latest Worldwide DX Club Top News:
DENMARK Stig Hartvig Nielsen of World Music Radio (WMR) tells us that
the 10 kW SW tx he ordered has finally arrived in Denmark, and is
currently on the dockside in Copenhagen. It's hoped that test txions on SW
can now begin in a matter of weeks. Two freqs, 5815 and 15810 kHz, have
been registered. Besides SW, WMR will also be available worldwide via the
Internet and locally in Denmark on FM. (RNW MN NL, Apr 12)
(Is this the same station that broadcast from Radio Andorra from August
28, 1976?...Mike)
Sure it is. Poul Foged (known as Paul Dane on air) will be doing some
shows for them. Stig was not involved officially with WMR at that
time,though he was part of the same circle of friends. Robin King (Lee
Alvin) must be well in his 60's, and I don't think he will be
participating this time, though once it gets on the air, you never know.
Both Poul and Stig are professional broadcasters in Denmark now ...

Looks as though Denmark may actually be represented on shortwave again!
This is certainly good news for those who have not heard and/or verified
Denmark.
DENMARK. I check the World Music Radio website periodically, and as
of April 11 it has not been updated from the message that they hoped
to start broadcasting in March. Obviously the schedule has slipped, as
it has time and time again. On April 13, an update was found (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
In August 2003 permission to use 5815 and 15810 kHz was granted by
the authorities in Denmark. A 10 kW and a 1 kW transmitter were
ordered from a company in Canada to be delivered around Christmas
2003. New offices and a new on-air studio were completed February
2004, and after more than 3 months of delay the short wave
transmitters finally arrived in mid April 2004. Meanwhile new aerials
had been erected near Karup in Central Jutland, Denmark, and the first
test transmissions are due late April 2004. Besides Short Wave, WMR
will also be available worldwide via the Internet and locally in
Denmark on FM (from http://www.wmr.dk via DXLD)
