It's 100 watts from Velsen. Frequency moved from 918 to 1332 17th February. 4 videos of their new antenna on this webpage.

I was tuning through the nearly empty Medium wave band this afternoon and stumbled across a weak but instantly recognisable jingle. The frequency was 1332 KHZ and the jingle was a original Radio Monique jingle from the former offshore station which rented airtime on the Ross Revenge in the mid 1980's.
A quick search online reveals that this station which was revived quite some time ago has started using 1332 KHZ from the Netherlands on one of the Dutch low power AM channels.
I am near the Essex Suffolk border in East Anglia and the signal is what many call anorak strength but non the less is making it across the North sea quite well inland. Presumably it's around 100 watts and 1332 is completely clear in this area with only Radio Warrington still using the channel up in the north west so well away and undetectable. Just thought some might be interested and want to try to DX this station for nostalgia sake. They have a website which talks a bit about their new antenna which is a work in progress and says they will soon have some pictures.

It's easy to get the website to translate into English using a browser translation.
