Extracts from my Broadcast Matters, long, medium & shortwave column, in Radio User, August 2013
Howard Barnett has asked for the
address of a station he has been trying to tune into and hopefully wishes to
send a reception reports to.
This is Radio Dechovka on 1233kHz medium wave from
the Czech Republic. Radio Dechovka translates
as Radio Brass or Radio Brass Band and the postal address is Radio Brass, U
prutník 232, 250 72 Předboj, Czech Republic. Emails can be sent to studio@radiodechovka.cz
Interestingly their main broadcast studio is in a train
station in Prague Kojetice. Radio Brass has a medium wave license for
nationwide trials. It advertises itself as
the first brass-band radio you can listen around the clock. It plays the best of Czech and Moravian brass
bands and sometimes non-Czech bands as well.
A typical summer evening's
programming consists of Camp fire; Cultural Service - where Jiri
Sykora provides an overview of cultural tips; a programme of the best brass
band music of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia; and Pub fun which plays "bawdy
songs".
