NORWAY Just saw another posting: Shortly before 1920 UT there was music
on 1314 for about ten seconds.
Here also what I wrote about it yesterday:
Kvitsoy-1314 had already the carrier on air when first checked at 1855,
who knows how early they switched it on. Did they want to make sure that
no problems with the transmitters (this is a pair of two Telefunken S4006)
will arise after they were unused (but presumably had still the tube
heatings on and were occasionally fired up on a dummyload) for almost five
months? Modulation started at 1958 UT.
Contrary to what I wrote yesterday also Col de da Madone on 702 comes in
and dominates the frequency here. No obvious delay between the two
mediumwave outlets, but 702 has not the heavy audio processing used on
1314. Grigoriopol on 6040 kHz is not less than two seconds behind
1314/702.
Flevo/Zeewolde on 6015 basically skips over me, Sackville on 13720 could
not be traced in the local noise floor here either.
Three recordings with these observations are in the "station sounds"
section of the Yahoo group. On the sign on file one can hear from 4 to 7
seconds into the recording what appeared to me like somebody just barely
opening a fader with the RNW audio and closing it again, but it could be
something from a co-channel transmitter instead. Final, slow audio fade-in
(not just a cut-in) at 21...26 seconds.

And I now also read that yesterday the carrier on 1314 was already on air
before 1730 UT. One has to wonder if Telenor charged RNW also for three
hours of open carrier?

Null Problem. 702 and 1314 kHz.
Hier beide Aussendungen auch S=9 +20 dB auf einem E1 Radio Lextronix in
einem Betonbau. Wirklich ein gute deutsche Wertarbeit der
Telefunken/Transair Sender 1314 kHz mit 1200 kW.
1314 kHz Kvitsoe auf Fotos zu sehen bei dem MW Antennen Guru

OMAN Radio Sultanate of Oman 9760 was heard surprisingly strong this
Sunday 19 from 0000 to 0200 UT with Arabic but with heavy distorted (altho
readable) audio.

PERU Singing on 4790, Nov 18 at 0615 UT as I was checking out the Gabuzz
on 4777, presumed R. Vision, Chiclayo. I look up the frequency in PWBR
"2007" in case there could be something else and see nothing but R.
Atlantida, Iquitos, the previous occupant of 4790, and anyway not listed
on the air at this hour!
