WNTP 990 KHZ dx test
| Don't forget to register for the radio informer's forum scroll down the links on the left of this site till you find the word message board click once in there click on register at the top of the message board. credit: http://www.hard-core-dx.com WNTP 990 kHz DX Test Tuesday, March 01 2005 WNTP 990khz Philadelphia, PA TEST Date(s): March 4, 2005 (Late Friday night into Saturday morning) Time: 00:00AM EST until 02:00AM EST (2 Hour Test) Modes of Operation: 50kw Day Pattern Programming: 50hz thru 10khz test tones, Phonetic Voice ID's, Dead Air Notes: CE Rene Tetro will be conducting an audio proof of the transmitter after making some changes to the system. Mr. Tetro will be measuring frequency response, THD, and IMD products of WNTP while running full power on the day time antenna. If time permits, he will repeat these tests using the standard 10kw night pattern. This is not a DX test. There will be no Morse Code ID's, and frequently there will be "dead air". It is hoped that DX'ers will be able to hear some of the tones, especially those in the 2-4khz range. Tones will be transmitted at four modulation levels: 95%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. Rene has also agreed to run some limited phonetic voice ID's. These will be a high pitched female voice, identifying the station in phonetics. THIS IS WNTP PERFORMING TRANSMITTER TESTING. WNTP. WHISKEY NORWAY TANGO PAPA TESTING. Reception reports can be e-mailed to: rtetro@pobox.com Snail Mail via: Rene' F. Tetro, Chief Engineer WNTP-WFIL 117 Ridge Pike Lafayette Hill, PA 19444 Rene will send out QSL cards, but please be patient. Special thanks to Rene Tetro for alerting us to this transmitter test, and agreeing to run the provided phonetic ID's. Hopefully conditions will be less AU than during the recent WNTP DX test. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF IRCA CPC Chairman _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list, IRCA@hard-core-dx.com |

RSGB proposes new 500 kHz amateur frequency allocation
| credit: http://medianetwork.blogspot.com RSGB proposes new 500 kHz amateur frequency allocation The Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) has made a proposal for radio amateurs in the UK to have access to frequencies between 501 and 504, or 508 and 515kHz, at a transmit level of 10W EIRP. The allocation, if accepted, would extend amateurs' experimental work on other low and medium frequencies and thus aid understanding of propagation in those parts of the spectrum. The two frequency band options are proposed as they are no longer used for maritime telegraphy in the Western hemisphere and their usage for non-directional aeronautical beacons is being phased out. It is understood that it is unlikely, in the near future, that the channels will be re-allocated to another service. Further details of the RSGB proposal can be found on the Spectrum Forum website.
