[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] FW: Shortwave Radiogram, 24-27 March 2022, program 249

Thu Mar 24 13:45:33 EDT 2022

Many of us got our initial interest in ham radio from shortwave listening (SWL).  This note is a reminder that some shortwave broadcasts still exists; and may be of current interest given ongoing developments in Europe.  WebSDR.org makes this possible.  A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously. SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different signals.

Hello friends

This will be complex weekend. On March 27, most of Europe turns clocks ahead for Summer Time. And, same date, the A22 shortwave frequency season begins.

Most Shortwave Radiogram frequencies stay with UTC, so for most Europeans, the show will be heard one hour later by local time. WINB's 9265 kHz and WRMI's 9955 kHz stay with North American Eastern Time, which moved forward on March 13, so effective March 27 local times will be the same for most Europeans.

Also on March 27, WRMI will swap its 7730 and 7780 kHz frequencies (to avoid interference to aircraft). So as of that date, our Sunday 0800 UTC broadcast will be on 5850 and 7780 kHz. And the Sunday 2330 UTC show will be on 7730 kHz.

The Mighty KBC, Sunday 0000-0200 UTC, will remain on its frequency of 5960 kHz until May 1, when it will change to 9925 kHz. Also, The Mighty KBC will have a special transmission for Europe, Sunday, March 27, 0800-1500 UTC on 6095 kHz from transmitter site Nauen, Germany. (0800-1000 Live from the 60's with The Real Don Steele. 1000-1400 The Classic Hit List with M.G. Kelly. 1400-1500 The Giant Jukebox with Eric van Willegen.) Our minute of MFSK64 will be transmitted at 1430 UTC on 6095 kHz (in addition to the usual 0130 on 5960 kHz). Reception of 6095 kHz will be unlikely in North America, so try SDRs in Europe.
