Cut 'n' paste from Yahoo MWDX group, checked against original source:
From Wednesday 20 May to Saturday 6 June. Radio Waddenzee/Radio Seagull will
be broadcasting on 1602khz (188 meters) offshore near the island of Griend
which is a small, uninhabited, Dutch island in the Wadden Sea.
This from the Radio Seagull website:
Offshore Radio in the 21st century !!
Yes, we are doing it again! After having challenged history by anchoring a
radio ship 8 miles out in the high seas last year, we are going to do it
again in 2009 !!!
One of the only two radio ships left in the world, the LV Jenni Baynton,
will be anchoring in the Wadden sea off Holland from May 20th till June 6th.
Mind you, this is not a private owned ship temporarily fitted out as a radio
ship, this is a real genuine radio ship. Radio Seagull (together with her
sister station Radio Waddenzee) broadcast on the Medium Wave, 1602 AM. The
ship, home of both stations, is usually moored alongside a pier in a small
Dutch seaport called Harlingen. Once a year the ship is towed out at sea,
manned with DJ's and engineers and broadcasts using the ship's transmitter.
The land site, from which we usually broadcast, is switched off for the
occasion.
When the ship is out, you can arrange for a tendervisit. How many chances do
you think you'll get to actually visit a transmitting radio ship in your
life? This might be the last chance to actually experience the feeling we
all know so well from the 60's, 70's, 80's and a bit of the 90's! If you
want to come over, please send an email to radioseagull@home.nl,
call 0031-628 34 97 78 and leave name and number or send a text message.

Is "Offshore Radio" the same as "Long Range Radio"?

Dunno, Al, I listened to their web stream the other day and didn't hear a single Warren Zevon song.
