World Music Radio on 927kHz

 

World Music Radio (WMR) has now commenced test transmission on 927 kHz from Copenhagen starting Wednesday April 14th 2021 at 1130 UTC. It is on the air 24 hours a day 7 days a week and provides local coverage in the larger Copenhagen area. Reception should also be possible in the rest of Zealand, in Southwestern Sweden and along the Baltic sea coast in Poland and Germany.

It has taken four years to get it on the air. It took a very, very long time to find a transmitter site, and then it also took quite some time to plan the site, erect a mast, design the aerial and do all the constructions and installations. The site is Hvidovre, Copenhagen; it is the same site as Radio208 transmitting on 5970 kHz. The power on 927 kHz is going to be 500 Watts, but for the first few days with reduced power. The mast is only 18 m tall and the aerial is a coil aerial with approx. 400 m of radials.

Meanwhile WMR continuous broadcasting on 5930 kHz (200 Watts from Bramming) also round the clock; however, reception is difficult or impossible at times when 5930 is used by the ‘big boys’ (e.g. VoA from around 16 UTC to 18 UTC and RFI 21-23 UTC). Also 15790 kHz (200 Watts from Randers) is still in use Saturdays and Sundays 0700-2000 UTC. In late April or May, WMR plans to start broadcasting on 25770 kHz (150 Watts) from Maarslet in the Southern outskirts of Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark.

Reception reports to World Music Radio, PO Box 112, DK-8960 Randers, Denmark, are welcome. If possible please enclose return postage (two international reply coupons or five euro) for a printed QSL-card, a pennant and stickers. A new WMR-QSL for 2021 will be printed late April 2021. E-mails to wmr@wmr.dk are also welcome. Please note that reception reports which are based on the use of remote receivers are not QSLed (unless you are using your own remote receiver in your own part of the world).

Malahit : an interesting project of an SDR STAND ALONE RECEIVER 50 kHz - 2 GHz

Based on the RF tuner of Mirics ( the same as the RSP project )  it is a very interesting project of a standalone  receiver .

Being interested for a practical use in the FM Broadcasting band and in watching satellite signals converted in L band I asked my friend Paolo Romani IZ1MLL the courtesy to give it to me his Malahit for some practical tests 

I have made three video of some very rough tests .

It looks that there is a lot of room for improvements , in my opinion adding much more preselector or bandstop filters , and especially to have the possibility to have a grid of amplitude in dB on the screen and to have the possibility to avoid what looks a very good autoscale/AGC for a receiver and a panoramic look , but not for observing signals like tipical SDR  or spectrum analyzers .
