I think your location can hear BBC from Ascension in various languages on 15105, 17810, 17830

kHz
and other frequencies at different times of the day.

For instance, I see BBC in French on 17885 and 21630 kHz 1800 - 1830 UTC, target WAf


I'll tried just now on 15400 17830 (BBC English program). I can here it quite
loud and clear with my small dipole (s-meter shows 7/9) ! Off the whip, still
audible but much weaker (0 on the S-meter).

It is like transmistted from Europe... I can't believe this is so clear. I've
checked in the file : no other transmission is recorded on that frequency at
this time.

I got to compute the distance...

Thanks !

Still newbie, the antenna changes averything...


I used http://www.indo.com/distance to find how far it is from you, I typed in
Amman, Jordan and Ascension, with this result... 4305 miles (6929 km)
