Station News - The authorities in Holland are re-organising their AM and FM bands on June 1, 2003. It's a "Zerobase" operation, designed as a one-off event to allow more commercial stations on FM.

Radio 1 will go FM only, with 1008 kHz being allocated to Radlon Media Ltd - an Essex based company. They hope to use the full 400 kW power non-directional to broadcast Wonderful Radio London to SE England.

With BBC R Shropshire having opened two new FM transmitters recently, the decision was made to switch 1584 kHz to carry BBC Hereford & Worcester so that listeners in North Herefordshire would enjoy better reception. It was several years ago that the Hereford AM transmitter on 819 kHz was closed. A possible date for the changeover is March 31, with a "retune" loop being broadcast for 24 hours prior to the switch.

Propagation - Very early Sporadic E opening to Scandinavia. In fact, there was Sporadic E all night it seems. I've just listened back to the overnight recording. More details on this 88MHz page. Band 1 tv was open much of the day to Sweden, Finland and Norway, but it didn't make it up to Band 2 FM.

Propagation - Again an early Sporadic E opening to Italy around 0700-0745. From 1320-1430 it briefly touched Spain and concentrated on Portugal shortening in distance. Then at 1600 it opened again to Spain, until abruptly switching to Italy at 1650 and all gone by 1800. The Arab on 87.7 was tantalising, but no real idea where it was from - best beaming SSE.

Propagation - Early Sporadic E opening to Italy around 0735-0750. Then, Sporadic E opening to Italy began around 1235 UTC, then at 1320 it went up to 108 MHz with a vast amount of "mush" across the whole of FM - so much so that identifying stations was almost impossible. The noise floor was about 30 or 40 dB on the Sony's signal meter. This lasted until about 1430, when conditions settled down again and stations became clearer. From 1730 we started getting a mixture of "normal" length skip, plus some very short skip to Germany and Austria. The band went dead around 1850, until it opened again to Greece and then Italy at 1920 until 1955.

Propagation - Good Sporadic E to Eastern Europe from 1415 to 1915 and again to Italy 2000 to 2100. What was strange today was that it was best to have the beam pointing just south of East, even when Poland was coming in. Beaming directly to Poland tended to lose signal. Also the propagation kept returning to the same Polish stations before darting elsewhere again.

Longwave - New Isle of Man longwave station to broadcast from Radio Caroline's old offshore location.
STATION GETS RADIO CAROLINE'S OLD SPOT GOVERNMENT has given the green light for a long wave radio transmitter to be stationed five miles off the coast of Ramsey in the same spot used by Radio Caroline in the 1960s. Isle of Man International Broadcasting has received approval in principle from the territorial sea committee to position a platform with the transmitter and antenna at the site. It will mean the creation of between 40 and 50 jobs in the north of the Island. The firm had originally wanted to build a mast at Ayre but this was opposed by residents, Bride Commissioners and Ayre MHK Edgar Quine. The Council of Ministers threw out the plans in January this year following a public inquiry. IoMIB founder Paul Rusling revealed news of the off-shore site at the firm's annual meeting last night. He said: 'The station is expected to launch towards the end of 2002 and we are looking at employing between 40 and 50 staff, both full-time and part-time.' The cost of the unmanned platform and equipment will be around the £5.25 million mark, while promoting the station and working capital mean it's a £12 million project, the funds for which Mr Rusling says will be fully raised early in the new year. The station's studio and offices will be situated in Ramsey. Mr Rusling added: 'The launch will bring greater diversification to the Island's economy, helping the further development of the north of the Island by bringing a significant number of all year round jobs to Ramsey while generating substantial revenue for the Treasury.' Marketing director Geoff Holliman said: 'The project has a lot to offer the Island, particularly post foot-and-mouth and September 11. 'More than ever the Isle of Man needs a powerful voice and our radio station, reaching into millions of homes, will sharpen the Island s international focus.'

UK stations - Choice FM in London appear to have abandoned the generically linked PI code idea. Their 96.9 MHz transmitter in South London is now radiating PI:C8B2 and PS: Choice-S, and their North London transmitter PI:C898 and PS: Choice-N.
Signal One have similarly changed PI code on their Pye Green transmitter on 96.1 ... now PI:CB98. (Thanks, Neil)
Anyone within range of Oban FM to check if they are actually radiating RDS?
Websites added for Wave 102 and Mercury 101.7. (Thanks, Vinnie)

Propagation - Almost 6 hours of Sporadic E today. Possibly Melilla and Canary Islands, though with so many Spanish stations on channel, it's not 100%. Also Space 101.7 in Southall wiped out 99-104 MHz later on with broadband noise. Even locals like Jazz FM were unlistenable and un-RDS-able. The SER station on 104.3 had curious PI:0239, but I can't find a SER station on that channel.

Propagation - Morning opening to Spain and Portugal, but I was at work. Nothing in the early afternoon, but around 1600 UTC the band opened up to Italy below 94 MHz. At 1635 propagation then moved to the Baltic Republics (especially Latvia) right up to 108 MHz, until conditions died away around 1855 UTC.

Propagation - Wow ... biggest and longest Sporadic E opening of the year so far. Propagation did move around quite a lot though, and often stations were only audible for 2 or 3 minutes. The period 1500-1530 in particular gave an incredible number of signals right across the band, but the most noticeable effect was that I got 40 or 50 dB of "noise" everywhere and very few clear signals. Kind of similar to the mush noted during the Leonid meteor shower of 1999, but at higher level.

Spurious - BBC R Gloucestershire is radiating a strong spurious emission on 1493.5 kHz. It's coming from the Berkeley Heath transmitter (500 Watts nominal on 1413 kHz). This is propagating very well, and has already been logged in Denmark, Holland and at Sheigra. Engineers at the station know about the problem and Crown Castle are aware and working to rectify it. The 1493.5 kHz emission is proving easier to hear than their allocated channel of 1413 kHz for many people outside the local area.
Propagation - Still quite a few meteors around overnight, but none during the day today.

Propagation - Day started off quietly with just a morning opening to Tunisia. But from the middle of the afternoon for 6 hours the band was wide open. Predominantly Italy and Spain, but also Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco ... and yet the same area of Greece. The strange thing was that the band was open to everywhere at the same time, all you had to do was turn (or switch) aerials.
I've uploaded two RealAudio clips of the un-id's to try and find out what they are. Have a listen and write me with your opinions.

Propagation - No E's noted at all today. But a tropo began around 2000 to France and Belgium. First tropo since I hooked up the vertical dipole to the dx tuner. Definitely needed for R Classique 101.1 and R Notre Dame 101.4 MHz, as these were inaudible on the horizontal 8 ele.

Loggings - Added some more details to the logs from the 27th. In particular 101.7 is R Panorama from Greece with 600 Watts, 97.7 is R Stn Lehovo with 2 kW.
Propagation - Any other time, today would have been called a good day for Band 2 dx. Plenty to hear again today, just not quite in the same league as the weekend. Would have heard more except I had my little helper, and he wants to play football etc. So a lot of auto-logging and recordings done on 87.6 MHz.

More Comment - When the band was really open to Greece, there were stations on every channel. But very few appeared to have RDS, or at least not much was decodable. The stations weren't overly strong, around 20dB on the Sony, but the band was full, and I mean full!
May 26, 2000
Propagation - Just installed a 6 element Yagi in the loft beaming SSW, and came back down to see what difference it made ... and up popped Spain and Portugal. Even stranger is the fact that it's been pouring with rain for the last 4 hours, hardly Sporadic E weather.

Also a very weak Indian or Arab station right in the noise 1300-1600, time pips on the hour, but not identified ... very weak. Possibly a satellite receiver spurious output, but it did vary in strength and died away when the rain started.

Propagation - Nothing strong enough to be logged. There was a series of meteor pings on the 19th 0500-0730 giving Germany and others (Poland?), but none strong enough to RDS.
Website - I've added a search capability to this website. Give it a try from the main page. It'll become more useful when (if) I start breaking up this dxlatest page into smaller chunks, perhaps creating discrete logs pages etc. Anyway give it a try if you've got time.
November 18, 1999
Propagation - Noted an increasing number of pings from around 0035. But all were very short ... just fractions of a second. The frequency of pings increased steadily and appeared to peak around 0210-0215. But even then nearly all pings were very short. A few lasted for up to 30 seconds or longer, but all gave really weak signals. Nothing identified out of the weak background of stations ... just un-id's from Germany on 87.8, Italy on 87.7, and test tone on 87.6 MHz. Maybe the debris this year was much finer dust and particles, which burnt up at too high an altitude to have any radio (or visual) effects.

Propagation - Lots of meteor pings noted last night. Only 3 were strong enough to RDS ...
But listening to the audio recording there were many pings of France Culture that didn't RDS. There were many too that had blank carrier in the early hours, and later had something like Arabic or similar language - OM talk and drums. These seemed to be from a non-RDS station since some pings were definitely strong enough.
The new filters are a definite improvement.
Update - the ?Arabic station has been "pinging" all day. Sounds now like an Indian language, perhaps the Khalsa Radio RSL in Gravesend coming in via jet scatter.

October 14, 1999
Propagation - No meteor pings noted this morning, due to tropo signals. RTBF and HR3 were fighting for dominance all night. Belgium came in first with its usual just above the noise signal, but Germany then dominated 0530-0730 with long slow fades.
Belgium then made another bid for supremacy 1200-1400, with even its PS Name showing on the Sony.
I'm going to see about making RealAudio files as an alternative to AIFF due to filesizes. Any other suggestions?

Tried various sites in West Cornwall such as Penzance Sea front, Newlyn, Sancreed Beacon, Badgers Cross above Marazion. In fact the sea level locations were best in the mid-evening.

RSL - Heard Justice FM on 87.7 from Acton at 0715. This RSL is being run by Acton Police it appears. However, it's barely audible due to interference from pirates on 87.5 and 87.8.
RSL - Also heard something like Heartside Hospital Radio on 107.2 at 1230, though this might be a pirate relay since BBC R2 was here earlier this week. Later the RSL Fundamental FM was heard on 107.2 from Battersea.

This evening some return of tropo but only to Lille etc and weak Belgium by 2230.
Much better reception has been reported by John Faulkner in Nottinghamshire who is nearer the Northern edge of this particular high pressure system. London seems not to be favoured at this time. The high temperatures (31C again today) are giving good nighttime enhancement presumably due to temperature inversions over sea paths.
