AM stations fall silent

Chris Greenway has tweeted about the closure of AM Medium Wave
stations in Belgium and the Netherlands on December 31

Chris Tweeted:

Just a few more days before the last Belgian AM (mediumwave)
transmitters go silent. Years ago in SE England, one could easily
listen in daytime to AM radio from a number of neighbouring countries
(Belgium, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway) on an ordinary
portable. No longer!
Though listeners in all of those countries continue to be able to
listen to the many AM stations still active in the UK.

Along with the last two Belgian AM stations (621 & 1125 kHz), the only
remaining high-power AM station in the Netherlands (1008 kHz) will
also be closing on 31 December.

Spain and the UK have become the only countries in western Europe with
a substantial presence on the AM band. The band is also still used to
some extent further east. The most powerful AM transmitter in Europe
is in Hungary (1,000 kilowatts on 540 kHz).
