Congratulations to Eric upon obtaining a new sponsor [Truck Magazine NL] for The Mighty KBC 6095khz----now defitely radio with a future. It's a pity that today's reception here in Essex is very poor, I truly loved the great tests on 5955khzs, that signal spoilt us all with its quality. Regards. Col.
I also hope eric will move from Wertachtal to the Nauen transmitter - I think the frequency of 6095 must stay the same as eric has the license for 6095 and Nauen is run by the same company as Wertachtal
Only for Europe we are testing on Tuesday 26-03-2013 on 6095 kHz from Nauen. 09:00 – 10:00 UTC 6095 kHz 125 kW antenna HR 2/2/0.5 230 degrees 10:00 – 11:00 UTC 6095 kHz 100 kW antenna HR 2/4/0.5 230 degrees Mail us your reports via themightykbc@gmail.com or via info@transportradio.nl
"We Want What You Want"-------I want more. Good vibes here Eric but didn't get enough warning to listen to all-----I only found it when tuning in to truckers radio rather late----loud and clear. Regards. Col.
Well, probably we will change on Sunday to Nauen, some areas in Europe will be better, because it's a directional antenna, but in some parts of Europe reception will be worse for the same reason. The difference between 100 kW and 125 kW was nihil.
New times starting Sunday 08.00 - 15.00 UTC 10.00 - 17.00 CET
hi eric - can you post a graphic telling us how the Nauen direction will get beamed please. Then we can find out if the difference will be that big. If Nauen is on on monday I can send you a reception-report from Austria
Our Sunday broadcast to Canada, USA and South America is moving frequency. On May 5 2013 we are moving to 9925 kHz. Same time 00.00 - 02.00 UTC. Listen to The Giant Jukebox with Eric van Willegen on our new frequency!! Please spread the word.
Good reception this weekend Eric but Sunday was best for my location, although a fair bit of fading during Rosko around midday. Didn't spoil our listening though especially his "Wall of Sound"special on Spector----great memories, great sounds and great music from KBC. Regards. Col. Jan, Brian, Kim, Julian, Emma, Ray, Leigh and lots more here at the Barbie and Beer Party.
I had good and clear saturday- and sunday afternoon reception on 6095 khz in Salzburg and on driving my way home to MUC as well. Though supposedly Salzbg is already a bit out of the Nauen beam
All noted Col and Alec, I was at the coast for several days...and also over there reception was OK. During this time of the year 6095 is getting weaker during daytime, but so far the beamed signal from Nauen is doing well.

Is there any graphic card that shows how the beam is directed - would be interesting to see. Where at the Coast have you been - in Holland ?
Have a few maps, but they change every 2 hours and are also with different dates, it's not the same maps as we used before. We went to Ouddorp, second time in 33 years that we stayed in Holland for our holiday. So Scotland has to wait till August - September....

can you explain that plz.? - just for technical interest
to listen to KBC click: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ give in 6095 khz - and set the bandwidth on AM or AM-nrw - Loudness best on 2. Java has to be activated (FF-plug-ins)
They have created several diagrams going over in each other from hour to hour on several dates all through the year, also from the old location, so we could see what the difference is between the signal from both sites.

What I mean is how or where does the beam go ? like : a half circle : Helsinki-Paris- Budapest - just to give us a picture or 200° West when KBC is on
Best reception in Benelux, France, Germany and UK, but also Spain, North of Italy, Scandinavia is still OK...and most of the time other countries are no problem as well. Only during the summer period conditions on 49 meter during daytime are worse than during the winter period. Beamed from Nauen 240 deg.
