Manx Radio Turning Up the Wick 1970-1972

 


Following on from the post about Manx Radio's overnight closedown 6 months ago I bought second hand on the history of Manx Radio, A Nations Station by Derek Winterbottom published in 2014 for it's 40th anniversary. 223 pages and a balanced account  They'd been awarded a licence in July 1965 to broadcast with 2kw with a directional aerial. Chapter 3, Turning Up the Wick (1970-76) had some information I wasn't aware of, edited summary:


The station was barely profitable. When the Conservatives won the 1970 election they hoped to get permission to turn up the power and persuade Chris Chataway to nominate Manx Radio as the regional station for NW England. He refused as it would hit revenue for English commercial companies. Tynwald did vote to buy a more powerful transmitter. When the transmitter arrived in October 71 they planned to test it at its full power 10kw but it developed a fault. Post Office got to hear of this and warned them that transmitting at more than 2kw would be a breach of their licence. On January 20th 1972 without any announcement they transmitted at 10kw so were heard loud and clear in many parts of the UK. The BBC complained to the Home Office, Home Office complained to the Isle of Man Governor and on January 28th he told them to return to 2kw forthwith.

Their new strategy was to argue that if the UK refused to allow spillage from Manx Radio transmissions then they would complain about any interference from new commercial stations in Manchester and Liverpool. They requested a meeting with Chris Chataway which took place in March 1972. Just before the meeting Post Office technicians completed a survey and advised that they could achieve perfect coverage of the Isle of Man using low power relay stations. Chataway used this as his main argument at the meeting insisting that Manx Radio broadcasts should be restricted to the Isle of Man. He suggested as an alternative that the Isle of Man could join a new consortium which was applying for the Liverpool commercial licence. They put an advert in the Liverpool Daily Post on August 24 1972 saying they wished to apply for that licence and asking interested parties to contact them, clipping here.


There was a good response and links were established with Sir Max Entwhistle, former leader of the City Council, David Moores of Littlewoods, former Postmaster General Reginald Bevins and performers such as Ringo Starr, Cilla Black and Arthur Askey, They set up The Liverpool Broadcasting Company. Their hopes were dashed when the IBA concession was given to rival company Radio City.

IBA Technical Review 5 on Independent Local Radio Planning September 1974 states "By March 1972 there was substantial development of MF planning. A new factor was that because the Isle of Man commercial radio service was not permitted to provide coverage in England the IBA transmissions had to be restricted in a reciprocal manner." The Mb21 Transmission Gallery for the Piccadilly Radio MW transmitter site at Ashton Moss includes an article by E.T Ford on Directional MF arrays for IBA station  with detailed information on directional aerial. 

The Radio City MW transmitter site at Rainford near St. Helens was directional to the South West. Manx Radio 1368 was granted permission in 1980 to use a 10kw transmitter on 1368 a directional aerial with nulls of 7-9 db towards 110-140 degrees and 300-330 degrees, effective radiated power 20kw.

DR Kalundborg station update

 

Denmark

DR Kalundborg 243kHz. Information and Program Schedule

The carrier is switched on some minutes before the start of the interval signal (IS) and stays on for some time after the end of each broadcast.
For a fine reception, you should use the very sensitive Danish SDR (Software Defined Radio) located near Skanderborg in Eastern Jutland: www.85.191.35.22:8073
Also, there is generally very good reception using the University Enschede Twente SDR receiver, and north German SDRs.

About the programs:
The interval signal (IS) at the start of the broadcasts is a recording of the mechanically played IS and is an old Danish song, “I dreamt a dream tonight about silk and rich clothes…“. It was used for the first time on August 28, 1931.
The other interval signal heard is composed for the long wave broadcasts.
Weather forecasts: They were broadcast directly from the Danish Meteorological Office. The forecasts terminated at 11.45 CET on november 1st, 2023 and were replaced by a short info program and
interval signal.
The News relays are taken from DR’s P4.
The Church Service is broadcast live from the Cathedral of Copenhagen, but remotely controlled. Also broadcast on DR P2 and DR TV channel 2.
The Excercises, “ Body and Movement“, are a number of old recordings, each lasting 10 minutes.
Marine Intelligence, broadcast from the Defence Operations Center, including gunnery practices at the end. The information is repeated.
The very last broadcast is on December 31, at 17.40-approx. 18.30 CET. Information in Danish about the closure of 243 kHz: www.dr.dk/am (use Google translate).

New Zealand begins work on transmitter

 


Radio New Zealand website November 28:


Work has started to decommission RNZ Pacific's shortwave transmitter 1 at its site on New Zealand's North Island.
This 100-kilo-watt transmitter was installed at Rangitaiki, Taupo in 1989.
In 2022, RNZ received funding to construct a new transmitter for RNZ  Pacific to ensure the services future.
Until the new transmitter project is completed, RNZ Pacific will continue to broadcast through its transmitter 2 at the Rangitaiki site.
The installation of the new Ampegon transmitter will begin in late January 2024.
RNZ Pacific apologizes for any inconvenience this transition may cause to our on-air listeners around the world.
The broadcaster will aim to minimize service disruptions to our on-air audiences, and partner stations in the Pacific region.
RNZ Pacific can still be heard via satellite, and its content will still be available to download or livestream through its website rnzi.com

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 November 2023

Solar activity ranged from low to moderate levels. Low levels were observed on 21-22 and 25-26 November. Moderate (R1-minor) levels were observed on 20 and 23-24 November. During the period, a total of 55 C-class and 4 M-class flares were observed from 13 different regions. Region 3492 (N19, L=345, class/area Ehi/380 on 24 Nov) was the most active region producing 23 C-class and 1 M-class flare. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at low to moderate levels during the period. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet to unsettled levels on 20 and 23-24 November. Active, minor storm (G1-minor) and moderate (G2-moderate) levels were observed on 21-22 and 25-26 November. Quiet to minor storm levels were observed on 21-22
November due to positive polarity CH HSS influence. Minor to moderate storm levels were observed on 25 November due to CME and positive polarity CH HSS influence. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 November - 23 December 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels on 02-12 December, with a chance for moderate (R1-minor) levels on 27-30 November, 01 December and 13-23 December. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach moderate to high levels on 30 November, 01-04 December and 07-09 December due to CH HSS influence. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to active levels on 27-28 November, 05-07 and 12-13 December. Unsettled to G1 (minor) levels are possible on 18-20 and 22-23 December. All activity is due to a variety of positive or negative polarity CH HSS influence.

Shortwave Radiogram, Program 331

 


Hello friends


Our EasyDRF special last week was largely successful. Many thanks to Daz Man in Australia for producing the broadcast, and for the instructions.

If you were not able to receive or decode the EasyDRF, you have another chance by using the audio from the YouTube video provided by Scott in Ontario. Scott's reception allowed the decode of the html and six of the ten images.

Another opportunity is an IQ wav audio file provided by H0b0_Radio in Washington state. You will have to access this IQ wav file using an SDR such as HDSDR. Then you can play the EastDRF broadcast in USB, LSB, or ECSS, or more than one of these modes sequentially. This tweet from H0b0_Radio gives a good visualization of what the decoded EasyDRF looks like.

The web post for program 330 has the instructions for decoding EasyDRF, and the contact information for Daz Man if you have questions.

A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 330) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 1300 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany (with a link to the EasyDRF web page).

We return to our usual MFSK for program 331.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 331, 24-27 November 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:45  MFSK32: Program preview (now)
 2:54  MFSK32: Device keeps defunct satellites from tumbling*
 8:00  MFSK64: First commercial-scale ocean thermal energy ***

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 13 - 19 November 2023

Solar activity ranged from low to moderate levels. Low levels were observed on 13, 15-17 and 19 November. Moderate (R1-minor) levels were observed on 14 and 18 November. Region 3485 (S19, L=205, class/area Dai/080 on 12 Nov) produced an M1.0/Sn at 14/2305 UTC. New Region 3490 (N23, L=355, class/area Eac/150 on 19 Nov) produced three M-class flares; an M1.2 at 19/0542 UTC, and M1.1 at 19/1644 UTC and an M1.0 at 19/2233 UTC. 

Early on 16 November, dimming was observed near N10W15. An associated CME was observed in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery off the WNW limb at 16/0336 UTC. Model analysis of this CME suggested likely Earth impact early on 20 November. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal to moderate levels. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet to unsettled levels with isolated active and minor storm (G1-minor) levels early on 13 November. The isolated active and minor storm levels was due to waning CME influence. The remainder of 13 November through 15
November was at quiet to unsettled levels due to positive polarity CH HSS influence. Mostly quiet levels were observed on 16-19 November. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 November - 16 December 2023

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels with a chance for moderate levels from 20 November to 01 December and again from 14 to 16 December. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 25 November through 09 December due to CH HSS influence.
