LW/MW/AM band conditions were very good last night.
On LW, there were a slew of navigational beacons â all Canadian and all
already in the log. But I did log a new broadcast station on 234 kHz at
0255 UTC: Broadcasting Center Europe (BCE) inÂBeidweiler, Luxembourg,
transmitting 1500 kW about 3,686 miles to the northeast. The audio was
weak, but good enough to ID the station.
On MW/AM, I heard plenty, but all already in the log. So I replayed my
0000 UTC top-of-the-hour recording and worked my way up the band
recording any station identifications I encountered.
When I got to 760 kHz, there was WJR loud and clear as expected. WJR is
the only nighttime station I have in the log for 760. It is so dominant,
that I never expect to hear anything else. So I listened for their
station ID, which was followed by a pause and during the pause, I heard
the station ID for WETR in Knoxville, Tennessee transmitting 2.4 kW 703
miles to the southwest! WETR is a daytime-only station and this logging
was almost an hour after Knoxville sunset, but I'm not complaining!
Equipment used was the ELAD FDM-S2/SW2 receiver and an 80-meter inverted
Vee antenna.
