Radio Öömrang (Radio Amrum) 15215 AM 1600 UTC 21 FEB 2024

Good reception, low volume
Annual North Frisian Winter Holiday broadcast in German, Frisian, and English.  Interesting fact from transmission a few years ago.  The broadcast frequently dwells on Frisians that migrated to New York City.  The City is peppered with establishments known colloquially as "German bakeries". However, it turns out most of bake shops were founded my North Frisian ex-pats.

1600 "Hello" ID, frequency in English, broadcast to North America
1602 Talk of ex-pats in New York.
1604 OM in German or Frisian
1606 2 OM in German or Frisian
1611 Conversation between 2 OM continues in German of Frisian
Broadcast last few years seems to be ever less English service.
1623 OM English, frequency, broadcast to North America
1624 OM in German or Frisian
1630 OM continues but volume suddenly significantly increased, reception now excellent
1635 OM brief English "...time after World War II...."
1640 Frequency in English, then German/Frisian, then ID in English, OM name, info about broadcast, tradition of holiday, mention of NY again.
1643 YL and OM talking in German or Frisian, might be in public setting - sounds like other talking in background
1650 OM and YL continue discussion amidst laughter
1657 OM in English about broadcast
1658 Off

1622 RX is poor in Colorado for the, I'm not sure, fourth or fifth year in a row. SIO 222 or so.
1633 rx has improved to SIO 333, can actually copy spoken word (OM speaking what sounds like German but is probably Frisian).
