[HCDX] Pan European Radio ?mystery?solved

[Jan Edh <jan.edh@xxxxx>]

Here are the facts at last about the mysterious Pan European Radio
testing in December from (as Berndt Trutenau could tell) Koszecin in
Poland on 1080 kHz with high power.
In a QSL Bert Van Schaick, MD,at Pan European Radio (P.O. Box 10386,
Beverly Hills, CA 90213, USA) tells:

?We hereby confirm and thank you for the reception report concerning our
test transmission on 1080 AM in December 2002.
The tests have been monitored by our staff in Germany, Sweden, The
Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Results varie from extreme good
reception in Sweden to moderate in the Netherlands and poor in the UK.
This image is confirmed by the reception reports that have been sent in
from these countries. Your reception report fits this picture as well
and is hereby confirmed. The transmitter used is a 350 kilowatt with a
non directional aerial.
Pan European Radio is not a radio station but an organisation that
facilitates other radio stations. The test is a step in our quest for
high power AM frequencies in order to offer the radio stations we are
connected with the best pan European coverage possible.
We thank you again for taking the trouble to send us the information we
can hardly do without. At this stage there is no solid plan to involve
the 1080 in our range of terrestrial output. Should we decide to use the
frequency it´s not very likely this will commence any earlier than 2004.

For effeiciency reasons I have asked our branch in Europe to distribute
this letter.
Yours sincerely
Bert VanSchaick, MD?
The letter was distributed from Zwolle, The Netherlands.
Best regards
