6553.5 Audible in New York

Post by curious george »

Was listening to a station playing some polka around 6554 at 2120 on a UK web receiver. Not only was I able to detect a carrier on 6553.5 on my own radio in New York, but I also hear the music, but it's very weak.

Any ideas who is on the air right now? (13 Nov, 2008)

Thanks,

George

Hello Georges,

the station was Galaxy Radio, from Poland, a new station testing since one week on this frequency.

Thanks for the ID Iann. It is encouraging to be ablel to hear a station so far away, especially considering that is is raining here. I didn't hear enough details for a report this time, but with better conditions, and lower noise levels, it will be possible.
