Somebody want to tell Delano to turn it down a notch, or at least not warm
the damn things up nine minutes early. On both 5995 and 5975, yesterday
at 7:51 PDT, there were very strong carriers (S9+30 on a radio that only
goes to S9+40) which eventually became the BBC in Spanish and English.

Stomped all over the BBC English from French Guiana.

Perhaps, but the 5975 broadcast is not directed to you,

No kidding, if it's this strong off the back of the antenna, what's it
like the other way? What's the front/back ratio of those antennas?

But it'll be doing the same thing in whatever part of the target area
that has overlaps from the two transmission patterns. Having nine
minutes of dead carrier isn't helping anybody, except maybe some station
engineer trying to baby an old transmitter. I'm sure the local power
company doesn't mind the extra billing. It's just taxpayer's money...

so you have to take the good with the bad!

You sure have a weird fatalist thing about (fixable) problems in
the world. Bean counter.
