I tried 1710 just before sunrise & nothing, yet 1610 further east was still in.
I noticed their website said the coverage of these transmitters was a shorter
distance than what a cell phone tower could provide, so 100mw possible. I don't
have outside antennas right now.
A Part 15 signal on 1710 KHz in the US would be illegal regardless of
power level, correct? If I'm not mistaken, Part 15 only allows
transmissions up to 1705 KHz.
Many amateurs operated Part 15 CW beacons on LF frequencies in the
1980's and 90's called "Lowfer" beacons. We also deployed Part
Their website has a link for streamed audio which I checked and it works.
If a part 15, perhaps they are running more than legal part 15 power as I
suspect a few here in the US do.
Your noise floor with the DKAZ aimed N is so low, that getting a part 15 via
skip wouldn't shock me.
73 KAZ
Mystery solved. With a little help from some underground radio friends,
I've learned this was a test transmission originating somewhere around
Timmins, Ontario (roughly 480 miles NNE). The transmitter was 35 watts
into an inverted L antenna. The testing is for CHIM-FM's future 1710
transmitter
