Cheers Johnno,

By the way you were correct about the PA, I did some mods to it and its seems to be working better!

Hi Paul,

Got there in the end just some tidying up to do on the TX, also I need to chop a metre or two off the end fed half wave aerial I am using because its resonance is more like 3830khz rather than 3930khz and my SWR is quite high!

cheers

Hello Joe,

good signal s8, but again bad audio, i tried in AM and SSB, but it's not possible to recognize what i hear.
When you will solve that problem, i think you will be heard in a lot of countries.
With a good audio, your sinpo would be 44333 here tonight.

Greetings.

Audio sounds better now at 21H39 utc !
Continue like that, it will be good soon.

Hello Iann,

I will keep trying to improve things on the transmitter.

Thanks for the report

Hi Joe,

you had a pretty good signal on 3930kHz in Glasgow last night (34433), playing "Money's Too Tight to Mention" at 2023 with announcements between records. Audio too distorted to get an ID, but I heard a mention of Merseyside, I think.

Best of luck and hope to hear you again soon,

Hi Peter,

Yes you did hear correctly we are based in Merseyside, the audio problem is a bit of a"work in progress" hopefully when a get a chance I will fix the problem.

Nice to hear it was a good signal.

Thanks for the report

Joe

Hello,

tonight i hear a station on 3930 at 20H43 utc, sinpo 44333.
If it's Central, the audio is better and better ! Still a few changes, and it will be OK.

Greetings.

Hello Iann,

It is Central on 3930khz, I made a few changes to tx PA stage to get rid of those nasty parasitc oscillations messing up the audio!

cheers

Joe
