<div dir="auto"><div>Vila Boim, não. O tx de Elvas (720 kHz) está bem longe da dita vila. A designação oficial, mesmo na RTP, é "Caia". De qualquer forma, com efeito, o sinal da RNE Badajoz escuta-se satisfatoriamente em grande parte da região Sul, do Alentejo ao Algarve, pelo que não vai ser fácil escutar de forma limpa a R. Caroline. Diria que, num vulgar rx e desprovido de uma antena bastante direccional, sintonizar a R. Caroline nos 648 kHz entre Évora e Elvas vai ser um grande desafio.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cumprimentos e bons 73s,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Luís Carvalho<br><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote">Em 30/11/2017 13:47, "José Eduardo" <<a href="mailto:ct2gqn@iol.pt" target="_blank">ct2gqn@iol.pt</a>> escreveu:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="m_1168483165373710681quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Aqui em baixo em Vila Real de Santo António escuta-se nessa frequência o emissor de Badajoz da RNE 1 -rádio Nacional de Espanha com qualidade aceitável( Bem melhor que o emissor da Antena 1 de vila boim) , pelo que vai ser difícil escutar a rádio carolina.<div><br></div><div>Cumprimentos</div><div>José Eduardo</div><div>ct2gqn</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-11-30 12:56 GMT+00:00 João Costa > CT1FBF <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ct1fbf@gmail.com" target="_blank">ct1fbf@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="m_1168483165373710681elided-text"><div dir="ltr"><h1 style="font-size:16pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Caroline AM licence - A kilowatt on 648</h1><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium">An update today from Peter Moore on the station website:<br><br>On 17th May 2017 Ofcom informed us that our application for an AM licence had been approved and that a licence will be awarded.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium">This is the end of – or a further step in – a process started by Bob Lawrence in 2010 and enthusiastically supported by Tracey Crouch MP. We thank them both and further thank the many other people who have helped along the way.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium">The basis of our application was that our traditional heartland was Essex and Suffolk, where the signal from our ships made first landfall and that we wished to entertain on AM, an audience that we have not been able to serve in this way since 1990.<br><br>We said that this audience may hear music radio of a style they remember and in some cases presented by the same people they remember.<br><br>That in essence is what we intend to do.<br><br>July 2017: We announced that our AM frequency will be 648 kHz with a power of 1000 watts. This is ERP or simply the power radiated by the aerial.<br><br>A transmitter was imported from the Continent and modified to suit the frequency. There were further hurdles, but progress was made and tests started on Sunday 12th November.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium">November 2017: After the award of our AM licence we were kindly offered a transmission site at Stonham Aspel, Suffolk and at a very sympathetic cost. But the site had no facilities, requiring us to install a mast, transmitter building, power and Internet.<br><br>We then identified a coastal site where everything was in place including a mast already tuned for 648 and this is the location we chose.<br><br>A commissioning test proved that all was operating to the satisfaction of Ofcom and after some days of silence we are now testing full time to ensure that the equipment is reliable. Then we will proceed to normal programmes.<br><br>Thanks must go to the site owners and the clever Techies who made it all work.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium">More here:</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><a href="http://radiocaroline.co.uk/#am_plans.html" style="color:rgb(0,51,102);text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Radio Caroline</a></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><font color="#FF0000" size="3"><strong>•</strong></font><font size="2"></font> <font size="2">Our thanks to <strong>Mike Terry</strong> for the above information</font></p></div>
