| Texas Coloring Book QSL |
Propagation conditions were terrible for the August 5th test, so we’re trying again using a beam heading different from the one we use for our regular monthly program to NAm. The broadcast will come from Channel 292, Rohrbach, Germany, with 10 kW power into a 10.5 dB gain beam antenna at 0300 UTC
We’ll test beam heading “S” to see if it delivers a good signal to the West Coast and Western Canada. It should also deliver a signal to Pacific listeners, who are encouraged to send us a report.
The transmission will be our standard Yellow Rose of Texas format with 24 versions of the song. Our signal will be easy to find!
If you can, we’d like you to use your home receiver and as many SDRs as possible in the target areas and provide SINPO readings (and maybe an audio clip or two).
We know this will be a lot of work. Thank you for working with us to provide the best coverage for NAm listeners.
A new QSLs will be available for correct, detailed reception reports, including a SINPO or SIO rating. If you try and don’t hear us, let us know, and we’ll send you a souvenir card, which will be a nice addition to your collection. Reports from listeners using remote receivers, called SDRs, are welcome.
