Shortwave Broadcast / BBC 6150 AM 2220 UTC 1 DEC 2021

« on: December 01, 2021, 2222 UTC »

Surprised to hear BBC in English with a nice signal this evening at 2220z.  Coming in S9 with headline news.   Some fast fading, but still very intelligible.
Knew it was too good to last, fading quickly at 2228z.

This may have been discussed a few years ago, but the WBBM transmitter relocated in 2019 from it's original site.   It's diplexed with WSCR and has nite-time power of 42kW.
