Hello from Norway.

LKB houses two small narrowcast AM/FM stations in Western Norway, one AC Standards station with a «mid-Atlantic» format and the other runs Nostalgia. A beautiful music station stream will be added in the near future set for testing in the first half of 2017.

We hold Norwegian content and technical broadcast licenses and are located with a small studio at Bergen’s former AM(NRK) outlets LKB(Philips 10 kW) and LLE (Marconi 1 kW) near Erdal in Askøy municipality.

The site is intact except from the 10kW and the original T-antenna strung between two 150 metres masts which has been taken down. 20 metres of one of these is intact. For the moment we operate from a Comrod antenna, inverted «V»s, and longwires.

Most of the personnel are licensed radio amateurs. We also have much general broadcasting knowledge.

We have been on the air since 2012, improving and progressing a little year by year.
Please see our information sheet for the WRTH 2017 attached and transmitter equipment list at the bottom of this email.
