For propagational reasons, WWCR is considering moving WWCR-3 from 12160
to 9985
at 1300-1600 UT. 9985 will be tested Mon Jan 19 at 1300-1400 UT. Based
on
results, may continue Tuesday and onwards as late as 1600.

Since WWCR-4 will be operating on 9475 at the same time, there is a
possibility
of mixing products between the two on 8965 and 10495. Although
theoretically at
least 80 dB down, sensitive receivers may be able to pick them up.

WWCR wants to know if you can hear WWCR on either of these possible
mixing
products. Please note if they are interfering with anything, supply
details of
your receiver and antenna, location, etc.

Hearing the mixing products would be quite unlikely beyond the maximum
signal
areas at first hop in North America. It is just as useful to get reports
of the
mixes NOT being heard, at least closer in, as reports that they are
being
heard.

If you would like a yearly calendar/planner booklet as a token of
appreciation,
while supplies last, include your P-mail address.

Reports on this should go to Glenn Hauser, woradio at yahoo.com who will

forward them to WWCR.

Results:

I monitored WWCR on 9985, 19 January, 2004 between 1300 and 1400 UTC, using
the Drake R7 receiver. The signal on 9985 had a consistent S7 to S8 signal
strength here.

During the same time frame I had the Drake R8 monitoring 8965 and the R8B
monitoring 10495.

I noted no mixing products here on 8965. I did note however a het on 10495
toward the latter end of the broadcast (But could get no audio). The het
left the air at exactly the same time WWCR left 9985 at 1357. So perhaps
there was something to that.

I also checked 9475 ocassionally with the R8, which was giving an S9+
signal.

I was using antennas of 70' and 200' in length, switching between the two.
