Reception with longwire-antenna , 97,54 % decoded Audio.
Pretty good results last night.
Simone
Envy you guys, I am not that lucky here. There were many, rather deep fade-outs which made the listening a bit troublesome.
Good results this morning, shorter delay in the last hour.

Hi all.
DRM via skywav on MW is not fan, very good signal for max signal stringth in QSB .
But fading is very slow up and down.
:mad:
Several dropouts in the first half last night, quite good later.

Good in the morning on the dipole supressing long distance AM from Spain which is still visible and reducing the achievable SNR. Transmission still ends too early for me.

Hi all,
On Saturday 13th September, the BBC World Service will be replacing its normal evening DRM broadcasts on medium wave (1296 kHz) and short wave ( 5895 kHz and 5875 kHz) with a special broadcast of the Last Night of the Proms (http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2008/lastnight/). The Last Night of the Proms, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, is one of the most popular classical music concerts in the world, watched and listened to by an audience of many millions around the globe. The BBC World Service special DRM broadcast will begin at 18:00 GMT with highlights of Prom 69 featuring music by Debussy and Roussel and will continue with the live broadcast from the Albert Hall in London from 19:00 GMT. More details will be available on the BBC World Service Proms website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/080708_proms2008.shtml)
Excellent results again the past two nights.
@Julian: Thanks, but I will probably miss the broadcast of the "Last Night of the Proms" again this year (like the past 3 years) :(
Simone
Had to look into this frequency, as Simone always gets good results. Sorry, I cannot agree at all down here. :eek: No Proms for me either I would think. (Except for some EEPROMS :D , almost every day!)
Excellent results last night.
@Digger: You really need to use a directional antenna to get better results.
Simone
...and a 1 hour evening result from Orfordness . Not bad, but I don"t know how
i got the "drops"....
Pretty good results last night.
@ Julian: Thanks for having the EPG fixed, that´s working OK again :)
Simone
Transmission started an hour late, great results then.

Hi Simone.

I hope I am in the right place in this thread for BBC WS. I heard a "pumping" sound on 1296 this morning with 2 seconds DRM on, then roughly 2 seconds of no carrier (only Spanish in AM) and so on, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. This is the result:
