1602 and 747 from the Netherlands

The 1-kW transmitter on 1602 in Harlingen, Friesland (page 296 of WRTH 2018) is now relaying Cyber Gold Radio (rather than KBC) at 0500-1700 GMT. According to Cyber Gold's website, this relay began on 1 July: https://www.cyberradio.co.uk/cyber-news/cyber-gold-to-launch 

Reception in Sheringham, north Norfolk, is weak-fair but very clear on ordinary portables. It's a 175-mile all-sea path from Harlingen to Sheringham.

1602 still relays Radio Seagull after 1700 GMT, heard in parallel with the 0.1-kW transmitter on 747, also in Harlingen. None of the other low-power Dutch transmitters on 747 are audible in the daytime here.
