[Rui Caldeira]

Obrigado João Costa. Gosto deste tipo de notícias, faz-me sentir nostálgico.
Tantas saudades de ouvir a WNYW - Radio New York WorldWide. Alguém se
lembra? 21.525 - 1700 GMT.

> conducted at different times between the timeframe of *1500-2300 UTC*(from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time), says station owner Scott Mock in an

> 13.8 MHz.

>      A 50-kilowatt transmitter and an antenna directed north are located in
> Milton, close to Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle. Mock says he has had
> some antenna problems, and is currently in the process of getting the
> antenna replaced. Transmitter power is now around 10 kW, but will increase
> to the maximum 50 kW by the time regular broadcasts begin. There is no
> studio, and all programming is pre-recorded. "It's not a fancy operation,
> but it gets the job done", Mock describes to DXing.info.
>
>       Unlike nearly all other shortwave broadcast stations, WJHR plans to
> transmit only on SSB. Current tests can be heard on the upper side band
> (USB). SSB is used because "it is far more economical and almost everyone
> can receive SSB", Mock explains.
>      Mock says he really wants to hear from DXers how well the signal is
> getting out, and he will be printing QSL cards next year. Reception reports
> are welcome by email to wjhr  usa.com or by writing to Radio Station WJHR,
> 5920 Oak Manor Drive, Milton, FL 32570, USA.
>
> DXer Glenn Hauser in the U.S. was the first to report hearing WJHR on
> December 8.
