Broadcast from South America on 6930kHz AM
« on: September 30, 2017, 2110 UTC »
Dear friends! Finally, we have our transmitter back in business from South America. Back in May the transmitter broken.
The output Mosfet burned. We had the transmitter back to Europe where I fixed it, and now it is back in place somewhere
in southern South America. The last two weeks we have had problem with our Internet connection there, so we had big problem
to get the program to be aired downloaded to the QTH. Actually, we had the intention to have been on from yesterday, but not.
It was impossible.

But today from around 21.30 UTC to tomorrow 13.00 UTC the transmitter will be running with its 10 watts of power. A real challenge!
Also from tomorrow evening 21.30 UTC until Monday 13.00 UTC the transmitter will be on.

We will relay: Skyline Radio Germany (SRG).     6930kHz AM

73's from Jorge

Hi Jorge, good to see you on here!

Nice to know you got it fixed!

 :)

'It's better to give than receive' so why Rx when you can Tx!

Yes, it is good to have it in working order again Stretchy :-)

We will continue the whole week with the announced sched. That’s means from around 21UTC until 13 UTC next day.
Yesterday there was a storm in the region and we could not get on air. Also, the electricity supply in the region was off, due to the weather conditions.
whole evening and night and returned first in the morning today.

Condition hasn't been the best lately so therefore we extend the transmission. Maybe we reach someone with this nice low power  :)
