Hello all !
I wonder why European MW radio stations use powers
of several hundreds and sometimes thousands of kWs ? Is it because in Europe,
there are much more concrete buildings than in North America, where there is
much more absorption of radio waves and the skywave signals of international MW
stations like TWR-1467 need to scatter through a window to be audible in a
concrete building since the ceilings are in concrete in the direction of the
ionosphere ?
Or is it more because of some organisations less
strict than the FCC (or the CRTC) wich don't allow a power limit (like here in
North America where 50 kW is the power limit on MW) ?
Enquiring/curious minds wants to know
!
73 and good DX,
Bogdan
Btw.: Two words about DX the past night: XEPM Radio
Educacíon onda corta wasn't too strong and suffered from Radio Japan co-channel
interferences. The interesting DX was New Zealand-17675 with modern music
and very huge almost all the time !
