MW - Finally got an ID from Celtic Music Radio on 1530 kHz, with their ID at 40 seconds past the top of the hour audible while Pulse! were carrying news. I've been trying to get a positive ID from them for the past 6 months at least ... but they never faded up at the right time.

MW - Littoral AM is on-air on 1593 kHz in standard AM mode. Coming in well despite the co-channel DRM from Germany. Their station website is littoralam.fr but the on-air announcements give RadioNumerique-Bretagne.com

MW RSL - Radio Rockingham is on-air on 1602 kHz for the BTCC racing weekend at the Rockingham Raceway Circuit just west of Corby this weekend.

Sunday 6 April 2008

MW closedown - CBA Moncton, the 50 kW station serving New Brunswick on 1070 kHz, closes its MW channel at 0700 Atlantic time tomorrow morning ... 1000 UTC. There will be a special short duration "DX Test" at around 0100 Atlantic time, 0400 UTC which *should* be audible across the Atlantic.

Friday 4 April 2008

UK FM - Touch Radio began broadcasting at 7pm (1800 UTC) this evening serving Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth. Noted their RDS TOUCH___ while driving up the M40/A43 towards Northampton. More details on the Touch Radio website.

Monday 31 March 2008

MW - RTE finally switched off their transmitter on 567 kHz (and the relay on 729 kHz).

aerials - relocated the feeders at home, and moved the SW beaming EWE to the back garden which means it's slightly further anti-clockwise than previously. It picks up the Gurkha station from Sandhurst on 1134 kHz very nicely, whereas the NW and NNW aerials yield L&D Hospital Radio.

Sunday 30 March 2008

MW - TWR Benin have a slightly revised programme schedule for their new transmitter in Benin on 1566 kHz. In the mornings they're on 0200-0435 UTC, and in the evening 1600-2030 (or 2045).

MW - VRT closed most of their Flemish language outlets on mediumwave today. So 540 and 1512 are now silent. 927 kHz continues to broadcast the Radio 1 service. 1188 kHz was supposed to close down too, but appears to still be on the air.

Saturday 29 March 2008

MW - R Littoral on 1593 kHz broadcast overnight in standard AM modulation despite announcing DRM with a mixture of music (French pop and Breton folk) with English and French IDs.

Friday 15 February 2008

MW - Vatican Radio on 1530 kHz noted much earlier than their normally scheduled 0330 start with Spanish at 0100, then French at 0230. Not shown on their website schedule. As I was recording that channel overnight, trying to hear Celtic Music Radio, it didn't help.

Red Sands Radio - is testing on 1278 kHz prior to their RSL this month. Apparently good reception in Essex, but checking here at 2200 UTC the only English station was Pulse Classic Gold from Bradford. You can listen too on the Red Sands website.

EWE vs ALA 1530 - did a quick comparison of the two aerials this morning. 1134 kHz on the loop had L&D Radio (north) dominant with Gurkha Radio in the background (southwest). However on the SW beaming EWE aerial, Gurkha Radio was loud and clear.

It's off-air from 1900-2200 BST during Albania's agreed use of the channel. There are some photos of the transmitter site on the Big L Forum. Sure enough they signed back on with London Calling at 2200 BST - good signal.

August 28, 2006

RSL - Heard over the past week on 87.7 MHz, Siemens Championships Radio covering the World Rowing Championship held at Dorney Lake, Eton. Overnight (all night) they had a short repeating voice ID loop which made IDing easy. Couldn't detect any RDS, probably due to the close attention of SKFM also still on 87.7 MHz from South Kilburn. Website World Rowing Championships

August 27, 2006

RSL - One of the other stations on 87.7 MHz in the past couple of weeks was "Radio Verulam" from Hemel Hempstead ... playing mostly oldies music (presumably automated overnight). Website Radio Verulam. So that's four stations on 87.7 all audible here. No wonder R Wimbledon barely got out of SW19.

June 25, 2006

RSL - WIMBLEDN RSL on 87.7 MHz. Fantastic bit of frequency planning going on this year ... Just about hear them east of Hangar Lane on the A40. But anywhere west of that, they're either smothered by a station in Hayes/Southall, and further out near the M25 by RADIOWEY. RDS is WIMBLEDN. Mind you 87.9 isn't exactly very usable either.

Station News - The authorities in Holland are re-organising their AM and FM bands on June 1, 2003. It's a "Zerobase" operation, designed as a one-off event to allow more commercial stations on FM. Some current stations will lose their channels, eg Radio 10 FM lose 675 kHz and all their FM channels. Radio 1 will go FM only, with 1008 kHz being allocated to Radlon Media Ltd - an Essex based company. They hope to use the full 400 kW power non-directional to broadcast Wonderful Radio London to SE England.

Here is a listing of the new channel allocations by Frequency

1008 and 891 kHz currently have a tape loop advising listeners to re-tune.

Propagation - Just one RDS log today, and no lunchtime fade-in of the mystery 87.8 MHz station.

08.17  87.8  E  La Onda Sueca                                      E07D          brief MH

Propagation - Brief E's mid-morning to Tunisia. Then early afternoon weak E's to Spain ... and again the English station on 87.8 MHz for about 15 minutes. Then a gap until a few minutes of E's to Portugal. Another gap, and a good opening to Greece, then Italy, then Tunisia.

Propagation - Very frustrating day today, with Sporadic E just reaching FM several times, but then disappearing again. Especially frustrating was hearing an English language station on 87.8, maybe from Spain or Portugal, but fades happened at exactly the wrong moments ... several times.

Propagation - Band 2 opened to Spain just as TV on Band 1 was giving us Sweden. Reception quite patchy, with other listeners in the UK either hearing nothing or different stations on the same channel at the same time.

Propagation - Very early Sporadic E opening to Scandinavia. In fact, there was Sporadic E all night it seems. I've just listened back to the overnight recording. More details on this 88MHz page. Band 1 tv was open much of the day to Sweden, Finland and Norway, but it didn't make it up to Band 2 FM.

Propagation - Again an early Sporadic E opening to Italy around 0700-0745. From 1320-1430 it briefly touched Spain and concentrated on Portugal shortening in distance. Then at 1600 it opened again to Spain, until abruptly switching to Italy at 1650 and all gone by 1800. The Arab on 87.7 was tantalising, but no real idea where it was from - best beaming SSE.

Propagation - Early Sporadic E opening to Italy around 0735-0750. Then, Sporadic E opening to Italy began around 1235 UTC, then at 1320 it went up to 108 MHz with a vast amount of "mush" across the whole of FM - so much so that identifying stations was almost impossible. The noise floor was about 30 or 40 dB on the Sony's signal meter. This lasted until about 1430, when conditions settled down again and stations became clearer. From 1730 we started getting a mixture of "normal" length skip, plus some very short skip to Germany and Austria. The band went dead around 1850, until it opened again to Greece and then Italy at 1920 until 1955.

Propagation - Good Sporadic E to Eastern Europe from 1415 to 1915 and again to Italy 2000 to 2100. What was strange today was that it was best to have the beam pointing just south of East, even when Poland was coming in. Beaming directly to Poland tended to lose signal. Also the propagation kept returning to the same Polish stations before darting elsewhere again.

Longwave - New Isle of Man longwave station to broadcast from Radio Caroline's old offshore location.

STATION GETS RADIO CAROLINE'S OLD SPOT

GOVERNMENT has given the green light for a long wave radio transmitter to be stationed
five miles off the coast of Ramsey in the same spot used by Radio Caroline in the 1960s.

Isle of Man International Broadcasting has received approval in principle from the 
territorial sea committee to position a platform with the transmitter and antenna at the site.

It will mean the creation of between 40 and 50 jobs in the north of the Island.

The firm had originally wanted to build a mast at Ayre but this was opposed by residents,
Bride Commissioners and Ayre MHK Edgar Quine.

The Council of Ministers threw out the plans in January this year following a public inquiry.

IoMIB founder Paul Rusling revealed news of the off-shore site at the firm's annual meeting
last night. He said: 'The station is expected to launch towards the end of 2002 and we are
looking at employing between 40 and 50 staff, both full-time and part-time.'

The cost of the unmanned platform and equipment will be around the £5.25 million mark,
while promoting the station and working capital mean it's a £12 million project, the
funds for which Mr Rusling says will be fully raised early in the new year.

The station's studio and offices will be situated in Ramsey.

Mr Rusling added: 'The launch will bring greater diversification to the Island's economy,
helping the further development of the north of the Island by bringing a significant number
of all year round jobs to Ramsey while generating substantial revenue for the Treasury.'

Marketing director Geoff Holliman said: 'The project has a lot to offer the Island,
particularly post foot-and-mouth and September 11.

'More than ever the Isle of Man needs a powerful voice and our radio station, reaching into
millions of homes, will sharpen the Island s international focus.'

UK stations - Choice FM in London appear to have abandoned the generically linked PI code idea. Their 96.9 MHz transmitter in South London is now radiating PI:C8B2 and PS: Choice-S, and their North London transmitter PI:C898 and PS: Choice-N.

Signal One have similarly changed PI code on their Pye Green transmitter on 96.1 ... now PI:CB98. (Thanks, Neil)

Anyone within range of Oban FM to check if they are actually radiating RDS?

Websites added for Wave 102 and Mercury 101.7. (Thanks, Vinnie)

UK stations - Some stations in the Lincs FM Group have changed PI codes recently. Ridings FM is now C69E, Trax FM (Doncaster) is C49E, Trax FM (Worksop) is C59E, Rutland is now C79E. Fosseway and Lincs FM are unchanged. (Thanks, Neil)

Propagation - Large amount of Sporadic E again today. I was able to tune around from 2000-2130 UTC, but it was interesting to find out eventually what the PI:1008 station is on 88.0, and to see R Alma Mater coming in yet again.

Propagation - Almost 6 hours of Sporadic E today. Possibly Melilla and Canary Islands, though with so many Spanish stations on channel, it's not 100%. Also Space 101.7 in Southall wiped out 99-104 MHz later on with broadband noise. Even locals like Jazz FM were unlistenable and un-RDS-able. The SER station on 104.3 had curious PI:0239, but I can't find a SER station on that channel.

At 1635 propagation then moved to the Baltic Republics (especially Latvia) right up to 108 MHz, until conditions died away around 1855 UTC.

Propagation - Wow ... biggest and longest Sporadic E opening of the year so far. Propagation did move around quite a lot though, and often stations were only audible for 2 or 3 minutes. The period 1500-1530 in particular gave an incredible number of signals right across the band, but the most noticeable effect was that I got 40 or 50 dB of "noise" everywhere and very few clear signals. Kind of similar to the mush noted during the Leonid meteor shower of 1999, but at higher level.

RSL - Total Rock Radio in Putney began their RSL on 87.7 MHz at around 0030 local time last night, taking the frequency over from TUBE Radio in Ealing. They're on-air until June 17. Initially weren't too strong, but seem to have improved their signal by this morning. More info on their Total Rock website. (Thanks, James)

Spurious - BBC R Gloucestershire is radiating a strong spurious emission on 1493.5 kHz. It's coming from the Berkeley Heath transmitter (500 Watts nominal on 1413 kHz). This is propagating very well, and has already been logged in Denmark, Holland and at Sheigra. Engineers at the station know about the problem and Crown Castle are aware and working to rectify it. The 1493.5 kHz emission is proving easier to hear than their allocated channel of 1413 kHz for many people outside the local area.

Propagation - Still quite a few meteors around overnight, but none during the day today.

26 MHz - Heard the DeutscheTelekom test transmission from Jülich this afternoon on 25740 kHz. Thought it was scheduled for 1500-1600, but evidently happened 1400-1500 UTC. Happened to tune in "early" and heard their fair signal with clean audio until 1500 s/off. DeutscheTelekom's latest transmission plan can be downloaded in PDF format.

WFLA in Florida were also audible in narrowband FM on 25870 kHz with their studio to remote site link.
Glenn Hauser recommends this website for a listing of stations using feeders, remote links etc around 26 MHz.

There's also this FCC database search page, where you can find all kinds of licencees. including "remote pickups" ie cue sound feeders.

Propagation - Wow - another BIG day of long distance. I missed the early morning opening as I was at work. John says that Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece were all coming in. Caught the tail end of the opening at lunchtime with a few Italians. Then the band opened up again in the mid-late afternoon to most of Eastern Europe.

Propagation - Day started off quietly with just a morning opening to Tunisia. But from the middle of the afternoon for 6 hours the band was wide open. Predominantly Italy and Spain, but also Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco ... and yet the same area of Greece. The strange thing was that the band was open to everywhere at the same time, all you had to do was turn (or switch) aerials.

I've uploaded two RealAudio clips of the un-id's to try and find out what they are. Have a listen and write me with your opinions.

Propagation - No E's noted at all today. But a tropo began around 2000 to France and Belgium. First tropo since I hooked up the vertical dipole to the dx tuner. Definitely needed for R Classique 101.1 and R Notre Dame 101.4 MHz, as these were inaudible on the horizontal 8 ele.
