Radio Northern Star via R Nord Revival test tonight

[Newfoundland DXer]

Not technically a pirate now, but Radio Nord Revival was one of the first pirate ships, operated from Sweden.  It was taken off the air 50 years ago on June 30, 1962, and obtained a two week license to commemerate the event. (see http://radionordrevival.blogspot.com)

They broadcast their own shows last weekend on 5895 kHz with 10 kW, and had a very good signal here.

This weekend, they are relaying Radio Northern Star:
