FEBC Saipan also on 11580 0800-0900UT

K4ERO · 21-04-2009, 03:21

Beginning tonight 4/21/09, FEBC Siapan will add a test transmission at 0800-0900UT on 11580 with a beam heading of 294 degrees towards China. There is a minor lobe towards Japan from the antenna, and much of East Asia may have a signal. This is expected to continue through the end of April. Reports from anyplace would be welcome.

Audio didn't quite make it to Germany.
I detected 11579.9 kHz as center frequency.

Thanks all. You can see what directional antennas are for! To bad we don't have permission to use the 341 degree antenna on 11580, I think it would do well into Europe. - See you all tomorrow. John

Tonight we will repeat the program of last night, except with mode B for the whole hour. Our transmitter works better with mode B than A and better on 11580 than 11650. We are trying to find out why. Some aspect of tuning, apparently. - John

Tonight will be the last test on 11650 at 341 degrees, but the 11580 tests to the west will continue at least through this weekend. We hope that some listeners in China, India and other places will be able to listen on Saturday and Sunday. We realize that this is too early in the day for those who have to work a regular day. The tests here have been very useful from a technical and training perspective. Everyone's help is greatly appreciated. -John

Siber · 23-04-2009, 09:56

Todays results

K4ERO · 24-04-2009, 07:43

We will continue tests on this time and frequency through the weekend and for several days next week. All reports are greatly appreciated. -John

Mitsuru Ito · 24-04-2009, 10:24
