AZORES Radio Lajes - A Voz da Forca Aerea Portuguesa, will hopefully be
back on MW soon, though neither on its previous, inactive, outlet on 648
kHz (was 650 kHz at least in the mid~late 70s) nor on the one shown in
their website, i.e. 1530 kHz, which was the fq. they originally planned to
move to. It's going to be on 1584 kHz, a frq. where the stn seemed to have
operated in the past too. Power will again be 1 kW via the old, idle tx.
Part of their future plans include DRM operation on MW via a new tx and
VHF-FM power increase from the current 0.150 kW PEP to 0.5 kW PEP. Besides
that, split operation will be an option, i.e. VHF-FM, internet and MW all
carrying different channels albeit incl. some relays of R. Renascenca, and
with sport being carried via MW.
R. Lajes' audience is not confined to the Lajes airbase personel, nor to
Lajes or even Praia da Vitoria, the nearest town, but to the whole island
of Terceira at least.
If you want to visit their page and still need more
detail, simply add the following: /lajes.
