3935 . R. BATAVIA . 23.20-24.05 Is Batavia different from Batavier ??


Yes ... there are 2.

Batavier, also uses names Northcoast & Bartjecoast. Linked to Radio Ramona.

Batavia, different station, friend with Radio Rainbow!

Hope that helps. I wasn't sure either but I asked in Iann's pirate chat!

[RadioRamona]

It's only that Batavier is a friend of mine, and were often at his QTH too adjust antenna's. TX's or audio. Saterday i used his tx at his location too relay our show.
