Thanks for the log. Geronimo back on air Christmas Day with another new programme. You can also catch me from 1145URC on Sun 27 Dec on FRS Holland.
hmm.. I wonder who is relaying WMR on 3905. Not official.,
Is this the same old hoax WMR from over in Western Ireland??
Interesting ... the WMR hoax station didn't broadcast while the real WMR was off air!
hes back.. the wmr hoax..
I remember years ago someone was putting out hoax programmes from the Welsh SW station Voice of the Leek in the same way. You'd think they'd have enough imagination to think of programmes of their own to broadcast wouldnt you? Perhaps they're just incapable of putting together a show eh....
Perhaps they just like WMR. i have to say though, it's great to have WMR back on shortwave and the programs are always very interesting and well put together but the signal down on 76mb was far more reliable and constant than that of 6400khz. With the current sunspot cycle the way it is at present it's always a good idea to broadcast lower down the HF spectrum and i did read somewhere on the net that the maximum usable frequency at the moment is 4mhz. anyway, whoever is putting out the WMR programs is doing a mighty fine job if you ask me.the signal down on 76mb last night was absolutely stonking in at 1am this morning. perhaps Jack should get that old valve TX re-tuned down to 76.
true, the signal of 3mhz was good.
But remember this is a malicious jammer as well. The unknown tx was known to jam WMR in the past..
If the station wants to relay WMR regularly, get in touch!! We can make sure you have the programming!!!! lol
Never noticed reflections on the air last night??
Jack, WMR
76 is only good if you want limited coverage. 6400 was able to be heard much further throughout the day. A stonking signal maybe when your at the tx ;-), but here the signal got progressivly worse after 6pm. By 9 it had completely faded. Plus noise levels have been very high on 76 recently.
If the guy on 3905 last night is the same idiot that jammed WMR before, then Jack should stay well away from him. A troublemaker!
Mmm, very good point. no reflections. you dont think it was the reflections TX on 3905 or should i say 3904.5khz? from my location just south of liverpool i was getting a signal bareing W SW on my loop antenna which suggests ireland or north wales area. very interesting.
Limited coverage. are you mad. Take the bogusman, he only broadcasts down on 76 these days and has received letters and emails from newfoundland in canada, several states across the pond and puts out a cracking signal all over europe and into the balkans and behond every time he makes a broadcast. it's far from limited.
@ the poster from Liverpool, it must be in Ireland then. Using a loop here last time he was on, this gives me a fairly good idea of where it is.
The bogusman does use big power at times though. he has the old livewire radio TX that Bill Lewis sold to him along with all his other equipment. i took these pics at the shack back in the summer.

I don't think it was the Reflections transmitter. 3910 was a far superior signal here. Also, this was coming from further south.
Aha, I wasn't suggesting the rogue transmission was coming from the reflections tx. I was passing comment because I know the operator and always like to know if he is in good health etc. Not seen him in many years.
Interesting bearing on 3905. Tnx. We took a few bearings a couple of years ago as well..... with interesting results...
Jack, WMR
nice to hear WMR back on the shortwave bands. please dont leave it another 2yrs before we hear another transmission. it's a shame we dont hear more of stations from the british isles. keep it alive guys..
Hmmm, remember when me & Chris Watson came to see you Jack and we were putting out announcements to discredit the hoax broadcaster then. Seems a long time ago now. Good to have ytou back on air again ol pal!
DAVE SCOTT Geronimo SW/FRSH
Yes, gees that was about 25 years ago!!!!! Difficult to believe!!
I remember the hoax vo leek as well!!!

Jack, WMR
