KBS World Radio test transmissions pre-B16
« on: October 06, 2016, 2219 UTC »


KBS is testing frequencies this week before the B16 season and looking for feedback.  These are aimed at India and Africa but I'm often able to receive broadcasts meant for Africa.  Reception reports can be sent via their webpage.

Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)
