Fw: Mini Transat

Wednesday, October 01 2025

Report of Wed Oct 1st:

FRANCE Tuned-in very late today Wednesday around 15.40 UT on

17545even kHz like previous days S=9+15dB signal backlobe into western Europe.

Heard a lot of different pause music kin,
like BIG BAND radio orchestra, or some folk flute mx from NorthAF ? ,
but only small pieces of mx about 10 to 12 seconds each, – I guess – to save money,
and Only 10 seconds of music to avoid high rental costs towards the composer?

15.51:45 UTC exact end of pause music orchestra portion performance,
still full power EMPTY CARRIER, TX still on air til

15.57:10 UTC TDF transmitter Issoudun switched OFF by technician at the bcast center.

[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]

Today Sept 29, at 15.15 UT stop Mini Transat transmission
and TX switch OFF on both channels. 73 wolfie

Today Monday Sept 29 at 15.04 UT on both 17545 and 7340 kHz via TDF Issoudun
France.

Mini Transat also on 7340 kHz 15.07:12 UTC,
changed from French 15 – 15.07 UT French,
now into English language sce,

some location and other data read, S=9+20dB signal strength in western EUR,
(7340 kHz hit be equal signal from Urumqi Xinjiang China mainland in
Kazakh – co-channel)

again on main channel 17545 kHz same strength S=9+15dB at same time.

FRANCE 17545even again on Sunday Sept 28 txion from TDF Issoudun site on
air,
15.00 UT til exact SWITCH OFF time at 15.57:10 UTC, but remaining time only
EMPTY CARRIER.
So they rent a full hour time amount at public TDF organization ?

S=9+15dB backlobe strength into southern Germany again today.

Txion requested at hfcc.org database as 232 degr azimuth, 15-16 UT.

Today unused 7340 kHz channel registration shows 266 degr azimuth though.

When TX switched OFF at 15.57:10 UTC, a small signal string of S=5 remained
visible on that
channel.

So seemingly only final TX power stage switched off at 15.57 UT,
and the low power exciter signal on first stage kept still getting on power
?

Same crash start at 1500 on 17545 with French male today. "Securite",
"Importante", etc.
I tried 7340, but only heard jamming, possibly against National Unity Radio.
Signal strength into Masset perhaps slightly weaker than yesterday. 73,

That's easy, Arthur. It's because today's broadcast was VERY short.
It only lasted 15 minutes or less. The English woman came on around 1507,
and mentioned that she was flying tomorrow, so clearly live and not robotic.
73, Walt
