Re: [HCDX] 1566 pests

["Glenn Hau-ser" <ghauser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here`s the new 1566, advance from DXLD:

** U K. From Tuesday, Somerset Sound is broadcasting on 1566 AM to block out 
the Russian interference. Voice of Russia transmits from Germany on the same 
frequency as Somerset Sound - 1323 AM....

(via John Cobb and Mike Terry, DXLD)

A rather poorly-written story; propagation not fully understood; and for 
starters, moving 243 kHz away hardly ``blocks out`` the Russian 
interference, but totally avoids it, and AAMOF, no doubt makes the Russian 
easier to hear (gh, DXLD)

Another pest station besides County Sound Radio is now occupying 1566 kHz. 
I'm not yet 100% sure but I think it is BBC R Bristol (wider area programme 
for the West, Southwest and the Channel Islands at the moment). Both 
stations are quite strong here and are competing with each other, but in 
fact there is no real loser. The losers are the non-Europeans we love to 
hear here. Can you imagine that this was once a free channel giving free way 
to AIR and HLAZ.
