Be careful at the time of the Manx TT Races- the Manx AM stream no longer caries RCN- and its not immediately obvious where to find a stream that does!!

If you can't get Manx on your own radio try the KIWI-receivers: https://ve3sun.com/KiwiSDR/ - look for the closest site to the Island by scrolling - you'll be amazed that the signal of Manx 1368 khz will be loud and clear even still in Iceland (more than 1000 kms away - click 'map' on top left side)...
For a faster finding open the KIWI overview page and then press the keys Crtl+F on your keyboard > a little widget will open far down on the bottom left side > give in e.g. Ireland or Scottland or maybe even Iceland (in Winter) > click enter > then all Irish, Scottish or Icelandic KIWIS Links will be highlighted - Its great great for DXing as well as the page shows KIWI remote receivers from all over the world.
When you've found the KIWI of your choice click on AM button in the KIWI widget (on the right) and give in the frequency eg. 1368 or whatever and click enter > voila, listen to your station or for Dxing move forward via the + or - minus buttons in 9er or 10er steps - Happy Listening !! https://ve3sun.com/KiwiSDR/

Quote: BigJohn wrote in post #109Just read on the Carnaby Street page that they have concealed the ship-based broadcast- it will be done from the land based studio.
From their Facebook page: Radio Caroline North continues this weekend on AM1368, although not from the ship as Storm Dennis the Menace bears down on us. You can listen on the mighty 219, online, smart speaker or with the Manx Radio Smartphone App.
Radio Caroline North on AM1368 and manxradio this weekend & picture shows you manxradio radio towers on a output power of 20 kilowatts Signal even reaches Iceland at night - check: http://tangar.utvarp.com:8073/?f=7009.8cwz6
Quote: BigJohn wrote in post #112Why can’t they just replace these TWO masts with ONE transmitting 20kW? Would it not be so efficient? Wouldn’t it be omni-directional?
And they don’t look very high to me. Couldn’t they double the size?
I think Caroline just uses ONE from Orfordness site.
I often drive past the Droitwich masts- awesome!
I think you have to ask these questions to Manx directly as I have no idea - maybe Coastie knows a bit more
Quote: BigJohn wrote in post #114Have you been to Droitwich Alec? The road passes very close to the transmitting station and those huge aerial mast assemblies?
No, BigJohn - never, and I've also never been to GB either yet - I hope one day in the future I'll be able to come .... But I've visited LW-transmitter masts in GER and Czechia (152, 207 and 270 khz) - verry, verry impressive. The most impressive was the one in CZ , this huge tower surrounded by millions and millions of lupins in white, blue and violet. When got closer to the tower you could feel your body hair standing up but obviously the flowers didn't mind
The nearest airport is Birmingham and the masts are very close to a huge garden centre where you can get meals and drinks. It would only be about 45 minutes from the airport down the M42.
Another month goes by and another Caroline North week end 14th /15th March 2020.

We all have opinions. Mine is mine, yours is yours. Don't tell me yours is mine. I think that I was wrong once, but then again, maybe I was wrong!!
