Listen Later

Live, off-air, approximately one-hour recording of AM radio station ZNS-3, "The Light" also known as Radio Bahamas Northern Service, Freeport, Grand Bahama, on 16 September 2019 beginning just before 17:00 UTC. The station operates on a frequency of 810 kHz with a transmitter power of 10 kW and a non-directional antenna.

The recording starts with public service announcements related to the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, which struck The Bahamas at Category 5 strength on 1 September, followed by a music selection. At 17:00 UTC (6 minute, 30 second mark of the recording), ZNS-3 joined ZNS-1, Radio Bahamas, for the "One O'Clock Report" news program. There was extensive reporting of the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. The news was followed by sports, weather, and community announcements. At about 17:18 UTC (24 minute, 50 second mark of the recording), ZNS-3 switched back to its own religious music programming and public service announcements and warnings.

The transmission was received on a Tecsun PL-880 receiver with its built-in ferrite-bar-loop antenna in a hotel room in Miami in AM mode with 2.3 kHz RF filtering. Reception was clear but slightly noisy and with some periodic pulsating signal interference.

ZNS-3 is one of four radio stations operated by ZNS, the Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas. It is a primarily commercial religious music station serving the northern Bahamian islands.
