Great idea to change frequency all the
time. Then you avoid having any listeners - except for a couple of
DX'ers
Dear Stig,
Do you really think so?.... Of course you are
partly right but there is also an other reality.... We are very low powered
station and so we had try to avoid any kind of
interference and we can not really competite with any strong stations
on same frequency. So we have checked the situation all the time
before (transmissions) trying to have best possible frequencies in use. It
is very difficult job and in many cases it leads also to some kind of
compromizes... When there is no free frequency left (for example in many cases
both 25mb frequencies and in some ocacions all 48 mb frequencies are
ocupied) then we use frequency which is less interferencied and which is otherwise useable (above but still
quite near the MUF frequency).
As you probably
know there is still times we should have (in use) even lower
frequencies (for better propagation) we have in our selection on 48 mb (for
our near audience in Finland) during nighttime but still we are allowed to
use the highest of these we have (thats 6170 kHz). And simply because it is the
only one being clear that time (-hopefully so anyway!).
This time the main change was that we are using more 6170 kHz
during daytime and that's because we should have the best
audibility there. Most of our frequencies on 48 mb are free of interference that
time but 6170 has the best chances to be heard "loud and clear" also in the
middle of the day. Other little changes have been made because these frequencies
were clear of interference during last transmission (on September) and also in
check afterwards.
So, it is not any meaning to avoid listeners, we love them all! We
have totally 5 frequencies and we are working with two of them all the
time during our 24 hours broadcast in the first weekend of the
month. We wish that every potential listeners can find us then! We
have also tried to spread this knowledge by using internet (our pages http://www.swradio.net , FDXA-page http://www.sdxl.org , my own pages http://personal.inet.fi/koti/alpo.heinonen
etc) e-mail (to our posting list members, dx-clubs, individual dxers), Text-TV
in Finland page 591 there and DX-Magazines and making articles to
newspapers.
So we wish that any dx:er or other potential listener anywhere do
know where and when SWR is on the air!
Keep on listening, soon we are Rocking on our 48 and 25 mb frequencies! SWR
is there... And hopefully yoa are with us... If so, please contact us, we really
like to hear you calling to our LIVE PHONE LINE +358 400 995 559.
