Planned low-power QRP transmission during the Easter Weekend Pirate Hunt

Dear Listener/DXer

Special numbered QRP Certificates of Achievement will be issued via e-mail to any DXer who is able to copy Radio Parade's 2.5 watt (10 watt PEP) AM brief broadcast(s) during the Easter Weekend and send a valid reception report.

Rules:
1) Radio Parade International must not use more than 2.5 watt (10 watt PEP) power in AM mode, use the most efficient antenna, clearest frequency on 48 meters and best time for propagation, day or night.
2) The listener/Dxer must supply a valid reception report with SINPO, time, frequency and some broadcast detail(s) for verification. If two similar or near identical reports are received, Radio Parade will have the right to request further unique broadcast information.
3)  The listener/DXer may use their own equipment, online kiwiSDRs or other online remote receivers if they live far away or in an area with high local QRM and lack their own reception equipment.
4) Upon validation, the DXer will receive a special numbered Certificate of low power QRP Achievement in PDF format as email attachment within a few days

The first certificate has now already been issued to a DXer in Finland who received Radio Parade International's signal during a QRP broadcast power of only 2.5 watt AM with his home equipment.

The plan to go QRP will hopefully take place if propagation conditions are similar or better to that of the last few days and last weekend, time, frequency, (short) duration are not fixed or guaranteed.

Good luck, good DX and 73s,

Radio Parade International

Radio Parade Int to increase power

Dear listeners,

After sucessfully completed enginering tests, from today, all future broadcasts of Radio Parade International will be at double previous power from 50 watt (200 w PEP) increased to 100 watt (400 w PEP).

This should give a theoretical signal incease of 3 db in all directions or approx half an S point increase on your receiver. Hopefully this makes the AM signal a little clearer to copy especially at long distances outside of Europe.

Kind regards and 73s

Radio Kolibrie photos

I've had a reply from low power Dutch station Radio Kolibrie who can sometimes be heard on 6240 kHz. He said first started on the FM band when he was 15 years old and has been active on shortwave, and sometimes medium wave, for the past nine years.

He runs just five watts into a six metre longwire. He also sent a selection of photos of his studio and antenna. Thanks Kolibrie.

After a long time of absence - WE ARE BACK ON THE AIR!

Shortwaveradio.de kindly gave us the possibility to be on air with our shows via their transmitter located somewhere in Northern Germany.

If you would like to try to catch our programmes, six hours, on April 20, Easter Saturday afternoon local (15.00 - 21.00 UTC) would be a good time to give us a listen. Try the 75 metre band shortwave on 3975 kHz!

Let's keep fingers crossed for no geomagnetic storms! If propagation conditions should be bad the transmission will be postponed until further notice.

It might be a good chance for you to catch our special eQSL-card. We look forward to your reception reports and comments to:

SKYLINE RADIO GERMANY, P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, The Netherlands
or via e-mail to: skylineradiogermany@web.de

Have a great time with us and Good DX,
DJ Jan-Hendrik
