The noise seems to be much better controlled on the 180 metres (MW) and 48 metres (SW). So maybe I can continue to listen and enjoy the bands again! Watch this space!

 Return to Sanity

I have been off air due to unbearable s9+++ interference on the bands. It gets very wearing and I just decided to hang up the headphones!

Todays activity was to resite the Wellbrook Loop which I did over a few hours hoping that an improvement would be effected. 

I have shortened the mast and moved the antenna about 6 metres further fron the last position. I attach a photo showing the current location, as far away as I can get it from the known source of the noise (next door neighbour). I still have the noise but using the rotator I can null it out completely. I heard Turfsteker this evening as clear as I have ever heard him.

RADIO IGLOO WILL BE ON AIR NEXT WEEKEND

On Saturday, March 2nd, a new program from Radio Igloo will be on air.

 

The West Coast DX-Club will have a listening camp in a cabin in the woods north of Gothenburg next weekend.

To draw attention to this, Radio Igloo will be on air with a new program with a mix of information and music with Swedish artists. 

For the first time, the program will be broadcast simultaneously from at least four different transmitters, on different frequencies and from different locations in Central Europe. 

This has been possible thanks to our radio-friends in Central Europe.

The program will be broadcast on Saturday March 2nd 17.00 Central European Time (16.00 UTC) on 5010 or 5040, 5840 ,6260, 6300 kHz (or on free frequencies nearby).

Presumably the program will be rebroadcast the following day at 15.00 CET but then only on 6300 kHz.

We appreciate reports on our program, preferably with an audio clip and with comments on the content of the program. 

Correct reports will be answered with a new e-QSL. 

Send your reports to radioigloo@gmail.com
