World Music Radio (WMR) has now commenced broadcasting in the 11 metre band on 25800 kHz as of today, June 14th 2021 at 11 UTC. The power is 100 Watts – or some 250 Watts ERP – and the transmitter site is a 110 m tall mast in Mårslet in the southern outskirts of Aarhus, Denmark. The transmitter will be on the air 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing very good coverage to Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark. Occasionally the signal can also be heard much further afield when conditions are good. As the sunspot number is increasing – until the maximum is reached (probably) in the Summer of 2025 – long distance reception on 25800 kHz will improve.
Best 73s and good listening,
