@Electronics Visions 1960s I was walking along a Arkansas Road where there was High Tension Power Lines on then & The Electricity Spoke to me, to wit: They were captured and forced to Run Back & Forward by Humans. They showed me On Power Poles Yellow Creatures Running Back & Again (Same as Saw Tooth in Oscillator) further more From the Ground in front of me an the Road Electric Ground ""Demons"" popped from the Ground to impress me of the Truth, these were the Earth Ground. Not a Dream, I was Alive, 15 Years old, in Benton, Arkansas, when I often had visions and such.
You may already know that 927khz was used for many years by VRT Radio 1 here in Belgium....I'm now listening to Power Radio on line. Surprised that everything is in English. No Italian yet.
Yes, it was a test from Encompass media at Woofferton using the old BBC local radio antenna (but a different transmitter). What you heard was a 'simulcast' transmission of AM in the lower sideband and 5kHz Digital Radio Mondial in the upper sideband -same program content.
The DRM appeared to be double sideband. As you can see the noise floor is raised in both sidebands. I did manage to decode the DRM in later transmissions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3wl1nxxkGTQ.html
I don’t think the presenters name check at all. Only the continuity announcer ‘Peter Mononciff”? gives his name. Any idea who the woman presenter is? Although her English is perfect there are two clues she’s not a native speaker. Who is she?
What is known about Doris Maxina? A mystery! She married the chauffeur of the Soviet Ambassador to London in the 1930s, and was a convinced communist. She was British. She sounds aristocratic.What was her background? Are there any living relatives? Did she ever return to the U.K.?
@@CarlosFelipeRequiao There are still a few stations in Europe broadcasting on LF. BBC Radio 4 is one which you may be able to detect the carrier from in Brazil. It is on 198 KHz and runs 500KW. For more information please take a look at www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php and select Europe, Africa and Middle East. There are still 9 transmitters in operation and some are quite high power so you may be able to detect them with a good receiver and antenna.
@@ksnstechtopics8650 Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I don´t have good receiver and antenna, just a few basic entrance Yaesu and Icom and an End-Fed antenna but I´ll try.
and yet Berkley Heath is still on (at just 200 watts) in May 2023, it came over 17 miles to Southmead, Bristol at 9:30pm-ish on my torch radio thing. I had heard the modulation ringing sound in the daytime (in Filton) so I wanted to see if the audio would come over at night, and sure enough... I'm an AM noob who has got into the hobby too late, was that my first experience of skywave?
I can hear the Berkley Heath transmitter here in Birmingham at a distange of 53 miles. It is 'entertainment quality' during the day. I believe it is running 500 Watts If you want to hear skywave, try listening to Manx radio on 1368 KHz after dark. It is a strong signal over much of the UK at night. I can hear it during the day but it is 20-40dB stronger at night.
RN, one of my very first DX catches as a kidding the 70s on my newly acquired National High Frequency ’Boat Anchor’ radio (my Grandfather’s old rig from the 50s. I believe that RN was my first QSL (well actually a rejection card) as I had no ideal how to write a Reception Report at 13 years of age, but they did send a ton of goodies, Pennants, Stickers, Post Cards, Calendar…. I was hooked from that point on, well at least until the late 80s.
I had a little black & orange tranny (transistor radio) that could receive Radio Moscow - I recall there being a special hour between 8 and 9 pm UK time for Britain and Ireland, which featured this, I believe, in around 1979 or 1980 - always sounded like it was broadcasting from some sort of hall, but with no audience! Some of the voices I remember hearing reading the news had names like (not sure of the spellings) Karl Yigorov (he featured regularly) and Zena Levitshova - didn’t hear the names properly, due to the interference - and a DX programme presented by Paul Koznutzov or something!
Who wants to hear all the latest hits, plus albums and even oldies in mono on AM, with all that interference, when you can get it in stereo on FM - or DAB - or online? There’s no such thing as AM stereo in the UK, AFAIK! You could get it in London on FM - but that frequency has now been taken away from them and is now Greatest Hits Radio!
The problem with the DAB+ plugin is that there are (at irregular intervals) hiccups or stuttering in the audio since the introduction of this plugin. This makes it unusable for me. The technical support team seems to be aware of the problem but unfortunately there is no proper update to solve the problem yet...
I remember the Jingle from yesteryear .. Bougie gyal aah you cook fuh dinna? Mutton curry and dhal puri with champion baking powder..

It turns out that this is an IEM (in ear monitoring) channel for rehersals for the Commonwealth games and originates from Longbridge at the old Rover site. There are of course 3 other channels which can be heard. The frequencies are 55.1, 55.5, 53.8 and 54.3 Mhz for channels 1-4 respectively. The frequencies are also being used from another site and there is also some new activity in the 60 MHz range with another 3 channels again from a different site. These transmissions are quite powerful and I would estimate the ERP to be in the region of 30 dBm, perhaps a little more.
