I had my first experience of the 'Luxembourg effect' yesterday whilst tuned to 567 RTE.
There was an echo delayed by about two seconds. Checking the EMWG I was a little surprised to see there was just a single RTE transmitter on the frequency. Recording: http://paulc.mediumwaveradio.org/audio/567.mp3 I was informed by MWC member Ken Baird that the Luxembourg effect had been observed in the past with 567 RTE transmitting ghostly audio from the old Atlantic 252 station. And lo! RTE now transmits on 252 and the 252 signal runs a couple of seconds behind the 567 signal Ken has an interesting note on this as well as a reproduction of an early Luxembourg effect discussion and 'explanation' from 1938 http://www.tadx.mediumwaveradio.org/luxembourg_effect.html Paul Troon, Scotland ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
