Dutch commercial broadcaster Radio Waddenzee/Radio Seagull, based in Friesland, is currently broadcasting via a KPN transmitting mast near the village of Moddergat. The reason is that the main transmitting faciiity is being moved from Finkum to Pietersbierum, near Harlingen. This means the mast has to be dismantled, moved to Pietersbierum and then reassembled.
Radio Waddenzee/Radio Seagull broadcast on 1602 kHz with a power of 1 kW, and they say that the coverage area from the temporary facility is approximately the same. Broadcasts via this facility are expected to continue until at least 1 March 2007.
Radio Waddenzee broadcasts from 0600-1800 UTC, and the rest of the time the station operates in English as Radio Seagull.
