> There are two reasons for WMR being off air on SW for several months.
> First the Danish telecom agency refused to issue a new license to utilise
> “out of band frequencies on a non-interference basis”. This issue was
> however settled. Second problem was a storm which damaged the yagi aerial..
> The aerial was repaired a few days ago and it now works very well again -
> from the transmitter site just north of Randers in Eastern Jutland, Denmark.
>
> The second SW frequency of WMR, 5840 kHz, is expected to be back on the
> air from a new transmitter site by the end of April 2020.
