GULF OF MEXICO, May 9, 2020/ — Texas Radio Shortwave, an American free
radio station, today announced three test broadcasts on May 16, 2020. The
broadcasts will determine listenership and propagation feasibility on a
newly activated frequency in the 75-meter shortwave broadcast band.

Channel 292 in Germany will transmit the hour-long broadcasts — at 0300
UTC, 1800 UTC, and 2100 UTC — on 3955 kHz with a transmitter power of 4 kW.

Texas Radio Shortwave will send a limited-edition commemorative electronic
verification for correct, detailed reception reports. Reports should be
sent to texasradiosw@gmail.com.

Reception reports must contain times, song titles, the text of
announcements, a SINPO/SIO signal rating, information on receiver and
antenna, and comments on the program content. Listeners using remote
software-defined receivers (SDRs) should mention that. Texas Radio
Shortwave would like to receive audio clips of the broadcast along with
detailed reports.

3955 kHz is part of the 75-meter amateur band in IARU Region 2 (consisting
mostly of North and South America).

During May, propagation predictions for 0300 UTC show the strongest signal
into the Eastern US and Canada, the Northern half of Africa, all of Europe,
and portions of Eastern Asia. At 1800 UTC, the prediction is for the
strongest signal in Europe and the Northern third of Africa. Strongest
signal coverage for the 2100 UTC broadcast is predicted to be like 0300 UTC
excluding North America. Listenable signals may be possible in other areas
of the world.

Texas Radio Shortwave is located on a ship anchored in the Gulf of Mexico
off the South Texas coast. Its programs are broadcast in North America and
Europe.

Dear Zenon Teles,
Yes, BBC is from Oman on 5970 kHz also 0100-0200, not Armenia. SLBC 
doesn't publish their shortwave schedule and that 0030-0200 segment is 
based on listener reports, maybe it is still there irregularly.
Tajikistan 1100-1200 is listed in Hindi. What language did you hear?

AND MW LISTINGS ARE NOT PROVIDED BESIDES AZIMUTH FOR BOTH SW/MW

What do you mean by this?

11580 TWR TODAY I HEARD CHINESE ON TWR 12.45 INSTEAD OF REGULAR VERNACULAR S ASIA  LANGS SIMILARLY FOR PAST FORTHNIGHT AT TIMES THERE WAS NO TRANSMISSION

Were you sure, that the Chinese transmission was from TWR and not China?

Does this reflector allow attachments or does it strip them off? Maybe they need to paste the text of the press release in the body of the email.
