Very nice report. Thanks for taking an interest in the low powered, shortwave stations in Europe, which otherwise are neglected by some.
World Music Radio on 5930 kHz is currently running 160 Watts. Radio Piepzender and Sunlite are broadcasting from Zwolle and Westdorpe which are not in neither the province of North Holland nor the province South Holland - but in the province Overijssel and in the province Zeeland - in the country called The Netherlands ... :-) Sunlite is running 200 Watts (perhaps 250 Watts) as far as I know. And from a very good transmitter site with excellent ground conductivity. Radio208 is not broadcasting from "Holland" - but from Hvidovre, Copenhagen - which is in Denmark. The power was recently increased from 75 Watts to 200 Watts. Plans are to improve the antenna, and so power will be increased to 300 Watts.

My 450' Beverage, aimed due north once again produced great results! 73, Walt CHINA 17830, 0504-, CNR Apr 18 Some copy with frequent dropouts. // 17770 with near 100% copy. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) DENMARK 5930, 0518-, World Music Radio Apr 18 Well, here they are with pop music, and a lot of splatter, of course, from 5935 WWCR. Fair otherwise.I need to check the power level again. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) GERMANY 5920, 0515-, HCJB Apr 18 Poor to fair reception in German. I suspect it would have been a bit stronger earlier in the evening for me. Not clear whether they are using 1 or 10 kW. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) HOLLAND 5939.97, 0521-, Radio Peipzender Apr 18 I'm not 100% certain this is the Dutch low powered station, or actually Radio Voz Missionaria. Perhaps the later. Non-stop vocals, and sounding rather religious, so quite possibly the later. Fair/good except for WWCR splatter. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) HOLLAND 5955, 0511-, Sunlite Radio Apr 18 Even better tonight, especially at and just before 05:00 UTC with Adele's Skyfall, then numerous ads in Dutch at 04:59. Really impressive for 1 kW or less!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) HOLLAND 5970, 0528-, Radio 208 Apr 18 Very weak, but in the clear hear, and seemingly // to an Icelandic KiwiSDR with EZL music. Fair amount of static crashes. Playing a Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. Not clear on the power either. Overall a most productive evening!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ROMANIA 11740, 0509-, Radio Romania International Apr 18 A really powerful signal. I'm stymied that I can quite get any audio. French is listed at this time. Pure red on my KiwiSDR waterfall in Masset. S9 + 10 to 20 as well! So close!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) UNITED KINGDOM 5875, 0502-, BBCWS Apr 18 100% copy with BBCWS news in English. This is rare to have such perfect copy!.
