WEWN 12050, still major problems

Monday, June 17 2019



at 22.38 UT  WEWN  12050 kHz is on air with clean audio,
program in Cape Canaveral similar strong like REE Madrid from Noblejas on
12030 kHz,
similar signals also noted in remote SDRs in Edmonton, Detroit, Rochester
and NJ US east.
Still
B U T  terrible CODAR signal covers totally 12098 to 12294 kHz frequency

When WEWN 12050 is experiencing the problem, all of the RF energy is
concentrated in the upper sideband, centered between 20 and 30 KHz above
the carrier, and more FM than anything else.
The evening broadcast on 5970 kHz is fine, as is the late afternoon
broadcast on 15610 kHz
   - I'd say the error pattern points at the modulator as culprit
   - Tonight at 1920 no apparent issue with the transmitter, but another
   problem: At Bonaire 12050 is an almost 1:1 mixture of Vandiver with
   Woofferton, carrying Radio Ndarason programming
   - 5970 and 12050 could well be different transmitters, connected to
   different antennas
   - 15610 was, also at 1920, just barely audible here in Central Europe.
   I doubt that it will produce a usable signal level in West Africa
   - Would EWTN provide a budget for more extensive repairs by the
   transmitter manufacturer and/or other contractors, at this point, with
the operation meanwhile appearing to be in phase-out status? I doubt it
