Thank you for your reception report! Also, in response to your inquiry
about our 1566kHz station, it runs on 250 kilo-watts of power. It has six
towers, and it is multi-directional. This means that the west-beam signal
covers China. The north-beam signal covers the Korean peninsula, the
northeast portion of China, Europe, and the eastern portion of Russia.
Finally, the east-beam signal primarily covers Japan and the northeastern
Pacific region. I hope this clarifies things for you a bit!



Best regards,

I donât know where this should be sent to, and if you should get these, but
I have no clue what to do with it.

Hello FEBC,



I hope this finds your staff doing well.



I have been a DX'er (long distance radio listener) on and off for 20 years.
I usually would just listen for domestic AM signals but have recently begun
the hobby of searching for Transpacific and transatlantic signals on 9khz
split channels from here in Alaska.



I wanted to send in a reception report for one of the FEBC signals, 1566
HLAZ. I listen from Galena, Alaska which is a village of 500 people in the
central part of the state, 300 miles west of Fairbanks, 300 miles eats of
nome and about 300 miles Northwest of Anchorage.



I can hear 1566 HLAZ every morning for several hours at a time, If I chose
to but it's -15 below out most mornings so I don't scan the dials too long.
I listen using a Lower HF225 or Grundig Sattelit 750 with 2 225 foot long
wires and a Wellbrook ALA1530LNP.



On November 20th, I had a man preaching in Russian and SINPO rating for
this would be 55555, no noise, fading, interference and a perfectly solid,
clean signal. Audio recording is here:

On November 17th, 2016 I had 1566 HLAZ at 1707UTC with an asian language
version of "Silent Night" Once again, a SINPO of 5555 as the signal was
incredibly strong almost to the point of needing attenuation.. clean, clear
and no fading. Audio recording here: https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=STUD-jdJp7o



On November 15th, 2016 I had 1566 HLAZ at 1757UTC with a man talking in an
asian language and mentioning FEBC at the end of his talk before some
classical interlude music played, followed by a woman talking and
mentioning Jesus Christ.. Just a few seconds before 1800UTC, an older style
FEBC jingle played. A SINPO rating for this broadcast would be 55445. There
was just a slight bit of noise but no fading or interference. Audio
recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4fNCZTqsro&t=145s



Would it be possible for you to send me a QSL card confirming my reception
of 1566 HLAZ? I would very much appreciate it!

Are you able to tell me how much power 1566 broadcasts with, how many
towers it uses and what direction it's signal beams in? The signal is
incredibly strong on a consistent basis here, so I am curious



Regards,

Paul B. Walker, Jr.
