With the announcement of the possibility of doing DRM from Wooferton from Channel292 I am considering doing a test in late Feb. It would be directed to Europe, power 85 kw. I need advise on time and frequency combos. I thinking 49 metre band & an hour between 1900-2200 UTC

The DRM edition of SWRadiogram
at 1500 UTC on WINB 15755 khz
was difficult. Pt Reyes SDR is offline & others had issues latching onto a signal. I finally hooked into the SDR in Boise Idaho. 6 out of 9 images with images 4, 7 & 8 missing their trigger. Again dormouse looked best!
