0156 UTC, hearing OM talking thru the noise.
Signal is at S3-S4 and therefore just a little over the noise.  

Still fine tuning my new 3.2ft loop I build this week.Signal is defently improved to vs. my old 2 ft that served me well in the past.

Thanks for the show Liquid Radio.

General Radio Discussion / Potential Interference on 13800kHz in June, between R.Puntland & R.Spaceshuttle

« on: April 30, 2015, 1726 UTC »

I found this article today on a new Shortwave Station in Somalia.
This could cause some interference with Radio Spaceshuttle on 13800kHz, if the mentioned 20kw are true.

Quote from "shortwavedxer.blogspot.com"

A new Somali shortwave station is testing on the frequency of 13.800 kHz. Radio Puntland belongs to the government of Puntland, which is one of the breakaway regions of Somalia in the Horn of Africa.

Puntland media reported on 11 April 2015 that the station was officially opened by Puntland president Abdurrahman Faroole. Radio Puntland is operated by Italian technicians from Goldrock Kenya, and has received financial support from the government of Italy. President Faroole says that also a television station will be coming soon.

Current test broadcasts from the Puntland capital Garowe consist of non-stop Somali music, aired at varying levels of transmitter power, 50 watts or more. "We should begin regular transmission by the end of June," says Enrico Li Perni from Goldrock Kenya. The permanent transmitter is still under construction and will have a power of 20 kilowatts.

Just a side note for all Android users on Iann's Pirate Chat.
To use the chat on Android devices utilize the "Dolphin" or "Flashfox" browser. I personally use the Dolphin which works great.

Also please avoid any kind of foul language on the chat,which will get you kicked out of the chat immediately. I Hope to see some members of the HFU on the chat over time.

Thanks to Chris for the direct link.
