England from January 2025.

U.K. ?RADIO DARC? will be broadcasting from England from January 2025.
For almost 10 years, RADIO DARC used the ORS transmitter in Moosbrunn
near Vienna for its shortwave broadcasts on the ORS transmitter in
Moosbrunn near Vienna on Sunday mornings. At the end of 2024, the station
will be shut down.
All attempts to save the station have failed; Oesterreichischer Rundfunk
broadcasting company wants to close the allegedly no longer suitable
?shortwave? business field on December 31, 2024 finally and completely.
The view is apparently somewhat different in Woofferton, England, about
50 km southwest of Birmingham U.K.
The broadcasting complex of the British broadcasting company BBC, which
still exists there BBC is operated by its subsidiary ENCOMPASS MEDIA and
has a total of ten transmitters and just as many antennas.
?RADIO DARC? announces that with effect from January 1, 2025, a new broad-
casting contract with the shortwave station ENC Woofferton with effect
from January 1, 2025 could be concluded. Corresponding contract negotia-
tions were successful and the DARC General Assembly approved the budget
item requested for this at its meeting on November 16, 2024.
Our program will therefore be broadcast for the first time on Sunday,
5 January 2025 on the already used frequency 9670 kHz from ORS Woofferton
England. 125 kW transmission power will be used on a 4 x 4 curtain antenna
direction 105 degr azimuth to Germany. With this selection,
an effective power of just under 4 MW is achieved.
The well-known transmission on shortwave 6070 kHz in the 49 m band will
continue, where the DARC program will in future be transmitted with 10 kW
transmission power from ?Channel_292? near Ingolstadt in Bavaria.
The continuation of the club's own radio program on shortwave is thus
secured for the time being.
We would like to thank the employees of ORS GmbH & Co. KG, especially
Mr. Ernst Vranka, OE3EVA, for the many years of very support and wish
them all the best for their upcoming retirement.
(DARC e.V., Deutschland-Rundspruch 48th week 2024, Nov 28)
U.K. "RADIO DARC" sendet ab dem Jahr 2025 aus England.
Fast 10 Jahre lang hat RADIO DARC fuer seine Kurzwellen-Ausstrahlungen am
Sonntagvormittag den ORS-Sender in Moosbrunn bei Wien genutzt. Am Jahres-
ende 2024 soll nun damit Schluss sein, die Anlage wird stillgelegt.
Alle Versuche einer Rettung schlugen fehl, der Oesterreichische Rundfunk
will das angeblich nicht mehr in die Zeit passende Geschaeftsfeld
"Kurzwelle" zum 31. Dezember 2024 endgueltig und vollstaendig aufgeben.
Etwas anders sieht man das offenbar im englischen Woofferton, etwa 50 km
suedwestlich von Birmingham.
Der dort noch immer vorhandene Sendekomplex der britischen Rundfunkgesell-
schaft BBC wird von der Tochtergesellschaft ENCOMPASS MEDIA betrieben und
verfuegt ueber insgesamt zehn Sender und ebenso viele Antennen.
"RADIO DARC" gibt bekannt, dass mit Wirkung ab dem 1.Januar 2025 ein neuer
Sendevertrag mit der Kurzwellen-Station ENC Woofferton geschlossen werden
konnte. Entsprechende Vertragsverhandlungen waren erfolgreich und die
DARC-Mitgliederversammlung hat in ihrer Sitzung vom 16. November 2024 dem
hierfuer beantragten Etatposten zugestimmt.
Unser Programm wird somit erstmalig am Sonntag, den 5. Januar 2025 auf der
schon bisher genutzten Frequenz 9670 kHz aus Woofferton England zu hoeren
sein. Eingesetzt werden 125kW Sendeleistung an einer 4 x 4 Vorhang-Antenne
Richtung 105 degr azimuth nach Deutschland. Mit dieser Auswahl wird eine
effektive Leistung von knapp 4 MW erzielt.
Weiterhin bestehen bleibt die bekannte Aussendung auf der Kurzwelle 6070
kHz im 49-m-Band, hier kommt das Programm des DARC kuenftig mit 10 kW
Sendeleistung von "Channel_292" aus der Naehe von Ingolstadt in Bayern.
Der Fortbestand des vereinseigenen Rundfunkprogramms auf Kurzwelle ist
damit vorerst gesichert. Wir danken den Mitarbeitern der ORS GmbH & Co.
KG, insbesondere Ernst Vranka, OE3EVA, fuer die jahrelange sehr wohl-
wollende und tatkraeftige Unterstuetzung und wuenschen fuer den anste-
henden Ruhestand alles Gute.

** U S A. 9955, Nov 28 at at 0713, JBA carrier S3/S4, presumably WRMI,
while 9395 WRMI with SMTV is blasting in at S9+20/25. So something`s
very odd at Okeechobee. 9455 still silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 23250 et al., replies to the WITK PA harmonix; Hugh Whelan:
``Hello all, Thank you Glenn and everyone for the helpful information
regarding the probable harmonic at 4650. To be clear, I am in West
Pittston (visiting wife's family for Thanksgiving), not at my home in
Fort Myers. This location is directly across the Susquehanna River
from Pittston. I brought my Airspy HF+ Discovery with me and put out a
60' long wire into a 9:1 Neolec balun. For what it's worth I also sent
an email to Wilkins with two recordings, but got an out of office
email saying the person was out for the week. Best, Hugh``
Arthur Pozner replies: ``This Kiwi SDR must be very close to the
transmitter. Most likely between 2 to 3 km distance. Night power is
listed as 500 W, but it is equally as bad. The assigned fundamental
(1550 kHz) frequency is S9+60. The strongest is the 3rd harmonic on
4650 kHz and S9+40. Practically all odd harmonics are pretty strong
and some are highly distorted. The even harmonics are very low (after
dark). Just wondering if the Kiwi and Airspy are both overloaded to a
point of passing fairly high level RF as it is so evident``
Rodney Johnson replies: ``Greetings From Minnesota! Either the carrier
exciter is overdriven to the point of putting out square waves, where
odd harmonics are stronger than even ones is typical, just look a
Fourier series of it:
https://mathworld.wolfram.com/FourierSeriesSquareWave.html
or the receiver front-end is severely overloaded, clipping the
incoming carrier in a square like fashion. Since an exciter running
like this would likely melt or start a fire, it is more likely the
latter. 73s --Rodney`` (via Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)
UNIDENTIFIED. 660, Nov 28 at 0730 UT, ``ESPN Radio`` ID dominating.
One might guess sports format WFAN NYC but NRC AM Log does not have it
with ESPN; rather only these two on 660: WDYZ Altamonte Springs FL, U4
3500/1000, and WBHR Sauk Rapids MN U4 10000/500 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Nov 28 at 0737 UT, dead air, surely WCCO, but rock
steady at S9+37. Can`t imagine any local source for this. Some talk
audio JBA underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)
