Hi Tim,
A few days ago we had third-hand info that Unique was testing on 5045. Nothing since, don`t know if anyone over here heard it. Would you please tip the WOR iog the next time you are doing this (or is it running all the time now?)

Hi Glenn,
this was to assertain what sort of signal was being heard (Quality, equipment etc), moreso in my local receiving area.
The signal strength was respectable with around 125W into an inverted V antenna and could be heard in many other areas including NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and fortuitous reception noted in New Zealand.
The problem noted was considerable sidesplash from Taiwan on 5050 KHz after 10PM local (1100 UT). One sideband of DSB was enabled for transmission at a bandwidth of 2.8 Khz which worked better overall.
There is a website available for more information (Brand new), being:

To be honest, I'm wondering if anyone is too interested in what I'm doing locally as I get more interest internationally in both shortwave and Unique radio at Podomatic site.
Thanks for your interest however, always appreciated.
Anyway I will keep on keeping on and the website explains it in detail,
Best regards
(Tim Gaynor
