General Radio Discussion / Limits of SW broadcasting bands 18 Sep 2019
« on: September 19, 2019, 0010 UTC »
I recall that 5800 Khz is the low frequency end of the 49 metre international broadcast band.

In fact, there is a licensed stateside religious broadcaster operating on 5800 Khz AM.

Presumably said station broadcasts with high power - usually it is heard rather well  Europe-wide.

Pirate or not, I know not.

A tad unusual for the station to be on the air on a weekday as opposed to on a weekend.

It could be that the stationmaster has recently obtained local permission to change his antenna to a purpose-built asymmetric half-wave dipole, and is now testing it.   

There is a diagram thereof on his website; its link is below.

« on: September 17, 2019, 1820 UTC »
Radio Pamela International has sent me two E-QSLs in double-quick time following this late afternoon's transmission on 5035 Khz AM.

Many thanks to the team there.

Thanks are also due to Terry Colgan of Austin, Texas for providing me with their e-mail address.

Yep, I gotta e-qsl in about a week from The Ghoul for the 3905 Khz transmission last weekend.

Very nice e-qsl too. I have e-mailed it to Terry and have suggested he posts it on HFUG on my behalf.

You see, Wikipedia is now blocked here in the PRC.

Thanks for the update.

That the station is active again on short wave is good news in my opinion.
