WRMI RELAYS RADIO MONIQUE INTERNATIONAL, A DUTCH PIRATE, FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10 P.M. ET

Texas Radio Shortwave is teaming with WRMI to present an hour of music
from Radio Monique International

The program will be broadcast on 5800 kHz, Friday night, July 23, at 10
p.m. ET (0200 GMT on July 24)

Radio Monique started on December 16, 1984, with a 50 kW mediumwave
transmitter aboard the ship Ross Revenge anchored in international
waters between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.  At that time
only state-owned radio stations were allowed to operate in The
Netherlands.   After the 90-meter high mast (tallest ever built on a
ship) broke, the station had a shortwave transmitter in English and
recently a medium wave transmitter again in the Dutch language. Radio
Monique can be found at or near 6285 kHz several hours each week.  Their
website is https://radiomonique.blogspot.com/.

Reception reports must be sent directly to the station because Texas
radio shortwave won’t issue an eQSL for the broadcast.  The station’s
address is radiomoniqueradio@hotmail.nl.

This is the fourth in a series of weekly WRMI relays of European pirates
and low-power licensed broadcasters, many of which haven’t been heard in
North America for many years — if ever.  The rest of the series looks
like this:

July 31 - CoolAm Radio, The Netherlands
August 7 - Cupid Radio, The Netherlands
August 14 - Free Radio Service-Holland, The Netherlands
August 21 - Atlantic 2000 International, France
August 28 - Radio Delta International, The Netherlands.

Texas Radio Shortwave sails in international waters off the South Texas
coast.  Its programs are regularly broadcast in North America and Europe.
