France Info Lille 1377 kHz Final Sign-off: December 31, 2015
/Live off-air recording of the last two and three-quarter hours of programming from Radio France station France Info Lille on 31 December 2015 beginning at about 21:25 UTC on the medium-wave frequency of 1377 kHz. The signal originated from a 300 kW transmitter just outside Camphin-en-Carembault (near Lille).
The recording consists of the network-produced special New Year's Eve programming of talk, news, weather, and interviews. The midnight (Central European Time) countdown, live from Les Champs-Elysées, is just before 1:34:30 in the recording. The programming is interrupted in the middle of a tune with the transmitter switch-off at about 00:14 UTC on 1 January 2016 with no closing announcement. The switch-off was coincident with that of many medium-wave transmitters in France, Luxembourg, and Germany on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
The broadcast was received by the Web-interface wideband software-defined radio at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands, with a "Mini-Whip" antenna in AM mode with 8.09 kHz RF filtering.
