The url still says 1395 : http://www.1395am.com/index.php?dir= - maybe a bit confusing But it looks good I hope with the new website also transmitting times will get prolonged step by step. Would be great to receive 6095 khz 7/24 one day.
Together with 6070 khz (when on full power soon ) 49m band SW becomes attractive again - Thank god in my cars I still have a SW-radio

use this http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ give in the frequency 6095 khz into frequency bar of that page when 6095 transmitter is on. - click on the AM button nearby to improve sound its a real radio - your pc is only the remote controll ...
you can put in also other frequencies for other European stations on LW MW and SW - like the BBC on 198 khz. , Ireland 252 khz, Radio 10Gold 828 khz, Caroline Classics 6070 khz., AFN Frankfort 873 khz, and lots of pirates e.g. 1611 upwards - just play around ... KBC on 6095 comes in like a local AM station when its on. and on the bottom there's also a nice chatbox - many of the posters you will know have fun !

If you manage to get it to work, talk me through it. I can't manage to get it to any frequency apart from about 10kc/s away from the original each click of the up or down button.
To me, tuning that thing is a slow laborious process.

Hmm, so something not good for a blonde Yank eh?
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. Pour l'amour de la musique
allow pop-ups ! (activate pop-up allow button on your pc)
To get the frequency right it is the best to highlight the already (from the beginning when opening the page) given in frequency and just type in e.g. 6095 or 828 or 198 or 6070 or whatever. you also have to click the AM button to get a better sound.
Mind you also have to activate Java (if !! it says so in a red strap-line) when you use FireFox as FireFox on some PCs has disabled Java : if so - go on (top of your Pc screen) tools > options > add-ons > plug-ins > Java > click enable > restart FF. - then go back to http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
If the tool gets stuck on a frequency (too many users and you can't move frequency anymore) just click on reload - then it works again
but usually moving up and down frequency works with the up and down buttons - but if you want to make a bigger frequency jump e.g from 6095 khz to 198 khz its best to give in the frequency manually by clearing the frequency bar before as said above
Its really fun as you can get the whole world on this receiver and also meet nice people on the chat-box who mostly are willing to help if you need help. But as usually - you learn best by just doodleing around - then you'll find out its very easy as soon as you know
Mind as this tool is a real radio - and not !!! i-net radio it also works like real radio i.e. you have sky-wave at night and ground wave during daytimes which means that at night (in Enschede) many stations from Spain, Italy, Russia etc come in at night and closer stations (which you can receive at daytime) may disappear.
here a few frequencies : - (as said , whenever page gets stuck on a ferquency then pls. reload page)
6095 khz - KBC and Transport Radio when its on according to schedule (UTC) 6070 khz - Caroline classic recordings - reception will improve soon when Tx has more power 873 khz - AFN - recepton better at night as coming from Frankfort 198 khz - 7/24 - BBC 252 khz - 7/24 - Radio 1 Ireland - but at night Algeria using the same frequency may take over 234 khz - 7/24 - Radio Luxembourg RTL French 747 khz - Nederland - Oldies 828 khz - 7/24 - Radio 10Gold - interferences at night from other stations but very good during daytime 891 khz - 7/24 - Rado 538 1602 khz - Radio Waddenzee - but very weak - too far away from the receiver 621 khz - Brussels 693 khz - BBC 5 Live 720 khz - WDR 1602 > 1670 - Dutch pirates with smartlap muziek 531 khz - at night (!) - Radio Algérie with Arab Pop music
unfortunately websdr page has been down since y-day evening - I hope it will come back soon: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ probably it blew by too many users
here is a similiar tool to receive 6095 khz (KBC / Transport-Radio) or 6070 khz (Caroline Classics) via the i-net. Its a radio receiver situated in Bedford UK so you can receive what can be received over there - mind you have to register first to use that radio http://beta.remotehams.com/orb.html?id=2185 I've tried a few stations and it works fine though of course recption is different due to the different location of the AM receiver With that tool UK AM stations come in better quality of course For SW-reception e.g. 6095 khz or 6070 khz difference shouldn't be too big though

Yes I tried with both radio-ham-tools - 6095 KBC comes in well on both of them. But both seem to be a bit difficult to navigate on for our ladies . Especially the Bedford one needs a bit of doodleing to find out how to make it run. Mind ! - also check 6070 khz. with Caroline classic shows - they are working on the Tx this weekend to increase power - so good luck to them !!
Thanks alec,when I first looked at it I could not make head or tail of it but really getting the hang of it now and listening to KBC radio,definately sounds like real radio with fading,I could really get into this radio ham stuff lol
