DIRECTION OF 15805 BEAM DUE TO BE CHANGED
For the past few weeks World Music Radio has been broadcasting on 15805 kHz with 200 W every Saturday and Sunday at 07-20 UTC beamed north from Randers, Denmark, in other words towards Northern Scandinavia, Western North America and Japan. Signal strength has been quite good in Northern Scandinavia and the signal has also been audible in Japan (from around local sunset in Japan) and Western North America (Alberta and British Colombia).
Weather permitting – the direction of the 3 element yagi used on 15805 kHz - on top of a 30 m mast - will be changed to due south within the next few days – most likely this coming week.
That means that this weekend – August 3-4 2019 – will be the last chance of having good chances of picking up WMR on 15805 kHz in Japan and Western North America. Right now 0745 UTC the band is open in North America and 15805 propagates into Western Canada - even though with a weak signal.
Please note, there is a slight change of broadcasting hours this weekend: The transmitter on 15805 will be on the air continuously from Saturday morning August 3 at 07 UTC - until Sunday afternoon August 4 at 16 UTC. (The coming weeks the sign off time on Sundays will be back to 20 UTC).
Reception reports are welcome at wmr@wmr.dk and by snail mail to World Music Radio, PO Box 112, DK-8960 Randers SØ, Denmark (return postage appreciated). I will try my best to reply to all reports with an eQSL for e-mail reports and with a printed QSL card for reports sent by snail mail .
Best 73s,
