Woofferton test transmission 2018-06-11 14:20 UTC

Greetings,

Just logged the following test transmission from Woofferton:

09545.0khz AM, 14:20 UTC:  Woofferton transmitter site test transmission. Short pieces of music. Male announcer: "You are listening to a test transmission. Please email your reception reports to: transmissiontest (at) gmail (dot) com."

Receiver used was University of Twente WebSDR, Netherlands. Antenna used was PA0RDT Mini-Whip antenna. Strong signal (S9+30) and very good modulation and audio. Good propagation with occasional fading.

I have also checked a remote kiwiSDR receiver in Cheltenham, UK. Antenna used was Sotabeams dipole 20 / 40m at 7m height. Strong signal (S9+10) and very good modulation and audio. Very good propagation (likely groundwave propagation received) with no fading.
