Weekend Music Radio on 25.800MHz AM, in the 11M Int Band?

[ThaDood]

Huh??? This is the 1st that I've heard about anyone, but CB Outbanders, using the 11M International Broadcast Band, from 25.670MHz - 26.100MHz, since for decades, that band has been pretty much abandoned. So, when I heard about Weekend Music Radio, (WMR), operating 24/7 on the FREQ of 25.800MHz AM, I had to inquire. So, here was their reply:

"Thanks for your e-mail.

What do you mean “Are you relay on the 11M band”?? Yes, of course we are. And have been there since June 2021 - running 24/7.

 

From the beginning the power was 60 Watts. Now it is 150 Watts (AM carrier). The transmitter is a Dutch built 300 Watts transmitter. We are using wide bandwidth – so excellent audio locally. We have a license for 25795, 25800, and 25805 kHz J

 

The antenna is a vertical half wave dipole on top of a 110 meter tall tower. On a hill top a bit south of the Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark. Giving a really good local coverage.

 

But the signal also propagates worldwide when conditions are good. Very often in No. Africa and So. Europe. Sometimes in the Americas (usually late afternoons UTC). Occasionally in New Zealand and Australia. And audible almost daily in Japan:

I am attaching two photos of the antenna tower.

Many reports of them on the HFU board. Do a search, maybe even as WMR 25800 or just 25800.  The late DaveP would goad me about his frequent catches of them in Virginia Beach.  I had them briefly a couple of times on 25800.  I try almost daily but generally without success.

Well, if there's anything that will teach me not to post anything, before coffee, then this does. Um, yeah... World Music Radio. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't correct me on that. I must have had that Irish station stuck in my head. So, oooooooooooooooooops...
