Re: 29620 KQ2H New York received in Botswana 12640km 28th Nov 2020 14:53 UTC
I heard it 2 weeks ago here in London, albeit very weakly. When things pickup in the next year or so on the HF Bands, it will be back to it's 5/9+40dB. I believe KQ2H is the most powerful repeater on Amateur radio - it's output power is around 1.2kW... As we all know, everything is bigger in America...

Re: Chaine 1 Algeria 891 kHz
I heard the test tones during the week here in London with with an s9+ signal.
There are two 100w and one planned 50w low power Dutch stations on 891 kHz, so I don't think that they are going to be very happy.

Re: XHDATA 808 FM reception
I don't think it's intermod it's just that you are receiving other Classic FM and Radio 2 transmitters, the receiver is reported as having good sensitivity and selectivity on FM but not so hot on Long wave. Radio 2 on 89.7 is from the high power Tacolneston transmitter which is your local transmitte...

Re: Dutch pop music on 819
LPAM - I am hearing the 100 Watt Dutch station 'Studio Denakker' with a good signal on 819, it's moved to 819 from 675 >> https://www.studiodenakker.nl/webplayerPopup.php .
There is another station due to use 819 called Buurtradio.

Re: Want to make my own TV station for an experiment
when i used to dx low power relays i never received anything lower than about 16 watts so i don't have first hand experience on the range of half a watt or 2 watt i'm pretty sure this site used to run 1 or 2 watts analogue and apparently covered 2 villages http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/gallerypage.p...

I had to check on the Carlow Ireland SDR >> http://emeraldsdr1.ddns.net:8073/ to see if RTE1 was back. Here in London it is non existent under the border blaster from Algeria.

Re: dutch LPAM - hoch much more can we take?
Extra AM on 1332 will be good, we had the religious station Premier Christian Radio on 1332 serving central London, but it looks like the transmitter has been switched off... it was crazy having 5 transmitters carrying the same programme just to serve London. I often listen on 1395, Radio Seabreeze ...

Re: Jamming on 1431 kHz
Thanks for the replies, it looks like the skip is short tonight so I am getting Smooth from Essex at s9 and no sign of the jammer.
I was hoping that it was from China or Korea which would have been a first for me given my noise level - ah well maybe one day.

Jamming on 1431 kHz
It's not often that I hear much in the way of DX on MW due to my local noise level, but here in London we have had a lot of rain tonight, so it's quietened my noise level somewhat. I'm hearing some jamming on 1431 kHz but I don't know who is jamming who. It takes me back to the 1970's when the Briti...

Many radios from China are badged under different names, the one that you listed doesn't get much of a rating on eham.net >> https://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6430
