Northern Spain. ¡Buen DX!

No sign of 15805 in NW England.
Bizarre comment about not using ssb. The use of ssb to listen to AM signals
on Short Wave is a long established technique – which can greatly assist in
combatting differential sideband fading.

Denmark: World Music Radio is back on 15805 kHz
After having been off the air since September 2019, World Music Radio (WMR)
is now back on 15805 kHz using a 3 element yagi beamed south - every
Saturday and Sunday at 07-20 UTC.
The transmitter power is 200 Watts and the signal is audible almost
worldwide for dedicated short wave enthusiasts, also known as DXers and DX
listeners.
However a very good receiver, a good aerial and a listening site without man
made interference - as well as patience – and listening at the right time of
the day is needed to catch WMR on 15805.
Best reception is in Southern Europe, but it is also possible to receive
15805 kHz in the Middle East, all over Africa, in parts of South America and
the Eastern part of North America. Also in Asia “on a good day”.
Sometimes 15805 suffers from some interference from a Chinese station on
15800 kHz.
Sometimes short skip propagation is providing excellent reception in Central
Europe. But propagation is changing all the time and catching the low power
signals from WMR on 15805 is really a challenge for DXers in most places –
unlike catching big international stations which use 100,000 – 500,000 Watts
of power.
Please note that the signals of WMR on 15805 kHz are only suitable for AM
listening, so don’t use SSB.
15805 kHz is also audible locally in Eastern Jutland, Denmark, as a "ground
wave signal".
