Radio Netherlands Worldwide Special monitoring request to shortwave listeners in North America

Rocus de Joode of our Programme Distribution Department writes:

Because of a problem with the Thomson 2 TX on Bonaire this week we have moved two Dutch transmissions to Sackville in Canada and Montsinery in French Guyana.

The transmissions are 0059-0127 UTC on 6190 kHz to the East Coast and 0459-0527 UTC on 6165 kHz to the West Coast. They will be moved back to Bonaire on Friday evening.

So we are interested to receive reception reports from these two transmissions this evening compaired to Bonaire tomorrow evening. Right: a recent picture of one of the Thomson transmitters on Bonaire.
