DW-Radio

Preston, June 2007 -

A QSL card from DW-Radio (Deutsche Welle).

 

The card was requested by e-mail and took 23 days. I also got some 'souvenirs' from them.

 

DW is actually broadcasting with 250 kW synchronised from Sines, Portugal, and Wooferton, England, on 6075 kHz.

 

They send with an azimuth of 126° from Wooferton, so here in the Northwest of England I only get the signal from Portugal. Even if they sent omnidirectional I'd probably be too far away for the ground wave and too close for the skywave.

 

PS: Why is ground wave spelled with a space but skywave without??
