Shortwave broadcaster to cover IARU R1 conference

Shortwave station Radio DARC will be covering the IARU Region 1
General Conference at Landshut, September 16-22, on 6070 kHz

The ARRL say:

Radio DARC — the shortwave broadcast program of the Deutscher Amateur
Radio Club in Germany (DARC) — has announced plans to broadcast six
programs during the 24th International Amateur Radio Union Region 1
(IARU-R1) Conference, September 16-22 in Landshut, Germany. IARU
Region 1 includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Northern Asia.

Rainer Englert, DF2NU, of Radio DARC said the broadcasts from the
conference, in English, will keep the IARU Region 1 ham radio audience
up to date with news and background reports.

“Although targeted to IARU Region 1, the transmissions are likely to
be heard in North America, too, as 2000 kW EIRP from a log periodic
antenna will be used for the Western European beam in the 31-meter
broadcast band,” Englert said.

Radio DARC is the weekly magazine of the German Amateur Radio Club for
radio amateurs and shortwave listeners, with three broadcasts on 6,070
kHz for Europe. Typical programs contain DX news, technical features,
and reports from the DARC, as well as commentary, propagation
forecasts and music from the 1970s and 1980s. After the
discontinuation of Deutsche Welle and other shortwave broadcasters,
the weekly DARC program is one of the few remaining from Germany.

“Several transmitters of up to 300 kW and three shortwave bands will
be used to allow reception in different target regions of the world,”
Englert said.
