KTWR - effective October 27, 2024
Hi everyone. We hope your shortwave listening experiences have gone well with the current elevated solar activity. We have seen signals do some interesting things over the past year or so.
Now that the B24 HFCC conference is over, we can let you know what our DRM broadcast schedule will be. We had to delete one broadcast to China and split the South Asia broadcast blocks.
The broadcast to Japan will continue its experiment with the 25-m band. We may change this back to 31 meters at mid-season if the data indicates the need to do so. Finding a frequency free of digital interference has been a challenge.
Another experiment will be using two different antennas for the 15390 kHz broadcasts. The Sunday broadcast will be beamed mostly toward central India while the Saturday broadcast will continue the southern India heading. Please let us know the differences in performance that you notice.
DRM broadcasts (Effective 27 October 2024), 90 kW:
Designated Day Time (UTC) Frequency Coverage Area Language
Saturday 1059-1130 12040 kHz China English 305 degr azimuth.
