Radio Nederlands Down Today?
 

Hi,

Does anyone know if Radio Nederland was down today?? It usually comes on
between 10:30 am to 12:30 pm EDT (1430 - 1630 UTC) at 15220 KHz. I couldn't
pick it up at all today on any of my receivers (Sat-800, DX-398 and Grundig
400PE) and it usually comes in very strong. We did have stormy weather today
but I was still able to pick up the BBC (15190 KHz) with my Sat-800 although
it was very bad.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Well, today (Oct 16) all seems finally well again with the 1430 - 1625 UTC
broadcast of RN - It's coming in quite strong again. Yesterday I could
barely pick it up on my Sat-800 and on the 14th, I couldn't pick it up at
all. Strange.....

Perhaps not strange at all when one considers that the ionosphere has been at
storm conditions.

I haven't heard much at all lately-just US domestics and Caribbean
relays. The ionosphere has been at storm conditions for quite a while,
hasn't it?

Pretty much so it would seem. A brief respite, then back to the storm. Still lots
to be heard at times though.
