Propagation Artwork

Hi Everyone,

When we published the latest KTWR DRM broadcast schedule, we did not include the expected propagation plots for the new blocks. They are shown below to give you an idea of what to expect for coverage. The South Asia plot was done for 75kW, but we will be using 90kW for this season. It should work slightly better than what is shown. The Japan/SK block will still be aired at 50kW.



9900kHz 1215-1245UTC to Japan/SK

15200kHz 1026-1056UTC to South Asia

Yet Another Change

Hi again Everyone,

We are so grateful for the help listeners have given us during the DRM broadcasts we started last month. Based on comments and listening patterns we have seen, we made some more changes to KTWR's DRM broadcast schedule. The new schedule will become effective 12 Sept. for the Japanese block and 15 Sept. for the South Asian block.

 Day                        Freq                       Time                                      Region                             Power

Wednesday        11995kHz             1026-1056UTC                    China                                    50kW

Thursday               9900kHz             1215-1245UTC                    Japan/Korea                       50kW

Sunday                 15200kHz            1026-1056UTC                    South Asia                           90kW

 

We are still trying different broadcast parameter combinations, so we definitely can use your reception reports. We believe that propagation for the new Japan/SK and South Asia broadcasts will be much better than it is with the current schedule.

 

We do hope that the content of the programs has been a blessing to you. We are looking for ways to replace the English language programs with Asian languages in the future. We do not know when that will happen. Stay tuned and 73.
