Anybody on the East Coast of NAm get a better fix on this station? Though I see nothing else currently listed for the freq., I somehow doubt it would be ICDI at that time at your location. Consider that they are reportedly running low power, I'd guess a kilowatt, and that sunrise in CAR is currently at 0425. But, who knows. dxAce Michigan USA Thanks for this - I was surprised myself! If I can stay up that late, I'll check again tonight - and then maybe tomorrow night, since their sked suggests no TX on Sat/Sun... 7160 kHz is also a frequency often used by AM-mode amateurs. With all good wishes, Kevin, WB4AIO. 41 Meter HFBC is being moved out of this band. |

Bruce Jensen Do you know how much a new quartz crystal, custom grown, for a decades old transmitter, costs? |

Before PLL synthesisers you had to use a TCXO the size of a microwave oven to provide sufficient frequency stability. http://www.transmitter.be/gat-hf50c.html |

This little station, being perhaps a 1 kW station, might be using just a ham rig and amp with an oversized power supply for broadcast. In any case, the station rep said there were "propagation" problems, whatever that means, so they were not using that frequency. Bruce Jensen |
