WAZ Nachricthen 9530/ 9655/ 17650 kHz
If I am duplicating an existing thread, please forgive me.
I saw a DRM waveform while I was getting ready to listen to TDP via Sackville and got this. The SNR was almost good enough for audio. I couldn't find it on the DRM schedule I have bookmarked. Can anyone give me any information on this broadcast? I can't believe I was getting reception from Germany on 31 meters 3 1/2 hours before my local sunset.

An unattended log. Unfortunately, my automatic screen shot routine failed, so I did not get any labels or other data.

Now it's called "Echo des Tages" with 14 kbps audio.
I bet it changes into Journaline again at 22.30 UTC... (Start time was short after 22.00) 2205: Echo des Tages (audio) 2235: WAZ Nachrichten (Journaline) 2305: switch off Language: German, Country: Germany Exciting...  Last edited by drmdab : 05-08-2009 at 17:24. |

A short log. The signal was very weak, and "das Echo des Tages" could not be heard. The transmission started shortly after 22 UTC.

I got an audio-file of the Echo-transmission. The program content is from "NDR Info", which is the talk and news station of my regional broadcaster NDR, www.ndrinfo.de.
Edit: This transmission originates from Nauen, Germany. Edit 2: Here's tonight's log of the Echo.

Hi all,
I received this transmission tonight. The signal was fairly good but only fragments of decoded audio (German speaking voices). After 22:35 the audio stopped and replaced by Journaline which received perfectly. There were two different labels for the 1st and 2nd half of the transmission and two BRs too. Take a look at the attached images.

5th Aug.
So it is Nauen. That is why the reception here is problematic; Nauen always was. I got surprisingly much decoded audio, more than expected. The "Echo des Tages" was just that: A summary of the news from NDR Info. Between 2219 and 2221 I noticed many interruptions in the DRM modulation. At 2221 UTC there was a time check "18:05". The Channel Impulse Response was high, about 4 to 6 ms, which seems to be bad for the decoding (?).
From approx. 2235 the label changed to WAZ Nachrichten, Journaline. I could retrieve all contents without problems. |

Excellent reception of both the audio and data segments today. I wonder what the transmission power and antenna beam heading are?

I don't know anything about the beam direction, but they're using 200 kW currently.

Hi all,
I sent an e-mail to WAZ asking for details of the transmission and got the exciting answer on the 6th of August: Sehr geehrter Herr Isberg, herzlichen Dank für Ihre E-Mail. Wir haben uns erlaubt, Ihre Anfrage an die zuständige Fachabteilung weiterzuleiten. Mit herzlichen Grüßen Ihr WAZ-Leserservice ... let us hope that the "Fachabteilung" knows more... |
