Denmark will cease longwave radio broadcasting at year's end. Its 96 years of LW broadcasts have all come from the same site at Kalundborg. The closure will leave Poland, Romania & UK as the last European users of longwave. Recommended piece on Kalundborg radioenthusiast.co.uk/news/kalundbor…

Time to nail this. “Like all linear service - total audience is declining.” Linear radio still reaches 88% of all adults. Amongst 50+ it’s 92% - same as 5 years ago & delivering more listening hours! BBC execs must take responsibility for their decline - not use it as an alibi.

99 years ago today, the Postmaster General issued a licence to the BBC to start experimental transmissions on longwave. As end of the longwave era approaches, I’ve written a lengthy🧵on the history of BBC longwave broadcasting. The first instalment looks at the 1920s & 30s. #OTD

Pleased to work through the #ISS repeater for the first time last night. Only on a colinear but my signal coming back down sounded quite strong on the IC-9700.

I can confirm this is legit. | #HamRadio #IcomEverywhere

10GHz mobile reception. Listen to the beacon tone change from ‘white noise’ to a tone as I pass into direct line of sight with Bernie’s beacon. Note the Doppler shift. Using a TCXO LNB to a 600MHz SSB Rx.

Delighted to get my first transatlantic QSO on 6m Es today, with Frank VO1HP. Tnx FB QSO Frank.

You made your country proud, England. Congratulations to Spain.
