Just seen this: http://www.radioseagull.com/1395AM.html

They are transmitting only from 07:00 > 19:00 h (08:00 > 20:00 CET) which means the night slot is still open
When you read S. Davis' comment a few posts ago you can assume between the lines that there was an offer to BigL
I wonder if it will be those 10 KWs

You are right Alec .. thats how I knew the cost :) So they are now renting the licence from Adam for the moment. Will be interesting to see how far the signal will go. Good luck to them hope it works out. At least they do not have to pay to rent the transmitter etc as they own it all. As you know Alec their arial system is not good for skywave, and they use 1602 after 7pm anyway, so I cant see anyone using the night time.

They had enough time to work on a good transmitting antenna - as what they had used for the tests was only a makeshift. - I am pretty sure they have found a better solution now (maybe even a higher mast) - The other question is where is the anchor place as I doubt they will be allowed to transmit with 10 KWs from Harlingen harbor. - I assume it will be in the western part (close to Dutch island Tessel) of the Waddenzee. - As their announcement doesn't sound like a "Testtransmission" I think Sietse Brower is well prepared to get out the best signal possible.
Mind, when testing from Harlingen with only 4,5 KWs (maximum) reception down here was as good as 15 KWs from Trintelhaven.... - This was skywave of course - but groundwave together with a real saltwater effect can provide a reasonable if not surprising signal into the East and South of GB if ship will be indeed anchored close to Texel

hi David - on GS is said it will be 10 KWs - the other message was low power - wonder what is true

News for Coastie's "Big Radio"

Paul Stiles : on Facebook
MORE WAYS TO LISTEN
Radio Seagull now on Shortwave as well !!

As from today, Radio Seagull can also be heard on Shortwave on 6150 kHz in the 49 metre band. Broadcasts will be increasing up to 24 hours a day.

The power will be up to 6 KW and the coverage will be from
Spain to Finland with the transmitter based in Germany.

I'll give it a try when I'm next On Watch although I need to concentrate on promotion now really!

Radio Seagull now also on 6150 khz. SW - reception over here in Munich not too bad. SW Tx location is somewhere in GER (I don't know where) with a power of 6 KWs
- they want to go 24/7 on SW

Radio Seagull is testing on 6150 khz right now at 10:15h CET - signal pretty week in my flat (electro-smog arround) - will try in the car now

Coming through "Weak but readable" here on the "Big Radio".

No signal percentage, which I suppose is the be expected.

Off Topic for David - sorry !

try without plug-ins or ad-ons if you use Firefox or a newer IE. Programms that run in the background slow down your pc enormously.
If you use FF go on 'tools' or 'help' there is a function to switch off plug-ins until you start pc again.
If its that - then go on plug-ins and see what you don't really need. What you don't need deactivate
Also 'autostart' can cause this problem: tooo many autostart programs - they all run in the background though they are absolutely not needed.
For IE go on 'Start' > 'Search' > give in 'ms.config'
Or use spybot which has a function telling you what autostart programs you really need - unnecessary programms you can deactivate from there (taking out the hook)
Also CCleaner has this function but they don't tell you whats really necessary - you only can deactivate from there.
Usually thats the cause

Steve Gordon from Radio Seagull re. to tests on 6150 khz. SW:
These are test broadcasts on 6150 khz. SW and there is a lot of engineering work going on behind the scenes. We expect the tests to be daily; so keep tuning in. When everything is as it should be, it is hoped that the transmitter will run 6Kw. 24/7. Stevie Gordon
Sounds like as if it is not yet 6 KWs - so lets be patient
