British DAB+ station also on MW from Netherlands lightship

On 1 July new British oldies station Cyber Gold started operation on DAB+ for the Surrey & North Sussex area and also on 1602 kHz from the Netherlands between 05:00-17:00 UT. The latter replaces KBC Radio in that slot and is coming from a 1kW transmitter on the former lightship 'Jenni Baynton' which is moored in Harlingen harbour (NW Netherlands), or, as one of their jingles claims: "Direct from the radio ship Love and Peace, at anchor in international waters off Fantasy Island". Outside those hours Radio Seagull is aired - you can hear an edited clip of the handover from Seagull to Cyber Gold at http://www.intervalsignals.net/sounds/ukg-cyber_gold_1602kHz_030718.mp3
