[A-DX] Fw: [WOR] WLC Radio via WBCQ 9330 kHz

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

Moin, moin,

wer es noch nicht anderweitig gelesen hat,
seit gestern Abend 23.22 UT ist die im Frühjahr neu errichtete
500 KW Station WBCQ TX #6 offiziell in der Luft.
Bisher wurde seit der Errichtung meist mit
reduzierter Leistung von 135 kW getestet.

Der Sender ist ein US Continental,
die drehbare Antenne ist Made in Germany/Switzerland
von Ampegon Schifferstadt/Turgi.

Dies vom Standort Monticello, ME / Maine, USA  aus,
ganz im Nordosten der USA an der Grenze
zur kanadischen Provinz New Brunswik, nur 200 km vom ex RCI Sackville
Standort entfernt.
Die Oldtimer werden sich noch an die äußerst starken Signale aus Sackville
erinnern.

Man beachte die unterschiedlichen Feldstärken, je nach Abstrahlungs-Azimuth.
Man ist sogar so ehrgeizig die Zielgebiete Südostasien, Indonesien,
China und Korea über die Arktispfad Ausbreitung zu erreichen.
