I'm not sure if they are using any low powered transmitters anymore.
dxAce Michigan USA I'm not certain either. As recently as a few years back, they were using something like a 15 or 25kW xmtr on 19m (15425, IIRC), but since have (1) upgraded to 80 kW or thereabouts and (2) apparently abandoned that frequency. Now I hear them on 31m using the 80 kW, same timeframe, coming in *about* as good as they used to around sunset on the older lower power xmtr. Of course, I was able to hear some Sri Lankan hams on 20m about the same time as the 19m transmissions, so I presume that frequency and time was a sweet spot for both the transmitter, the propagation and the receiver/antenna system (my DX-Ultra antenna is a honey on 19m, its best wavelength). It still is a sweet spot for signals from that part of the world to here, even with the sunspot cycle at it's current near-minima state. BJ |
