World Music Radio 5840 AM last day 15 Sep 2019

[Ray Lalleu]

on 5840.0
1436 reggae music
Last day today on 5840 and 15805 kHz
because the Danish authorities suddenly withdrew the low power licence outside of the international broadcasting bands.
1442 ID, also in French
Maybe the station will come back inside an international broadcast band, but it will be hard to find a single frequency not badly interfered by powerful stations at the rush hours.
1446 more music
1638 music, 1639 reggae
2201 carrier, 2202 off

EDIT : 5840 is inside the extensions of the 49mb,  OK with low power, but 15805 is outside the extensions of the 19mb. So probably there was some breach since the spring, and maybe the license was not withdrawn, but simply not renewed.

Radio OZ-Viola is another station (no link with WMR), with a license on 5825 kHz, OK within the low power extensions.

Bad news indeed, Ray.

However, though 15805 Khz is not within an international broadcasting band, 5840 Khz is within the 49 metre international broadcast band. That band starts at 5800 Khz and ends at 6200 Khz as far as I'm aware. (Ther're two legal stateside religious broadcasters, one on 5800 Khz and the other on 5830 Khz, audible right now via the German SDR at Asendorf.)
