Hi John,

Signal holding up much better on 5725 kHz this morning, than the past 2 weeks on 6520 kHz.

All the best,
73's ... Robin

Hello Robin,

thanks for this report. Indeed you are right, but the problem is not every (sw) receiver has the 52 meters

Hi,

First time i've tuned into your broadcasts.

Im in Liverpool in the UK and using a Realistic DX394 receiver with only the telescopic antenna.

Your signal was quite weak but i could easily pick you out

5725kHz
07:02 UTC
25322

Heard a voice with an echo on it when i first tuned in then music was played. The song i heard was "Nothing compares to you"

Hope that helps!

Keep up the good work :-)

I set my alarm and woke up specifically to listen in and give you a report :)

Out of interest, how much power are you using and what type of antenna?

Hello back,

I use mostly 400watt carier power in 52 and 48 meter. Outide these bands I use 200-300 watt. Think about 76, 46, 32 and 19 meters. For the 52 and 48 meter I use the inverted V with 1:1 balun and 52ohm coax. For the 76 meter some kind of delta loop (inverted V as triangle) beside these I use the invertedV with open line and symetric tuner for other freq. On 32 and 19 meters Sometimes testing with vertical gpa 8 meter and ant. tuner.

Well you set the alarm special for me! If you like a qsl send me your snailmail address by email.
