1080 Re bc-dx topnews #959.
Haeju MW and clandestine station site
38 01 53.29 N 125 42 31.50 E
feeder line is 2.93 kilometers long to 4 mast array
Haeju MW 1080 kHz 1500 kW
38 01 08.52 N 125 43 31.46 E
1080 Haeju, oriented toward Seoul, not that far distant, looks like a very
standard Chinese design, used by may others, too (such as BBC Ladies Mile
90 degree and 270 degree main lobes, AIR N. of Mumbai toward Karachi).
Two driven radiators 1/2 wave spaced, 2 parasitics 90 degrees behind,
turning the "skinny figure 8" from the two driven radiators into a "cosine
squared" unidirectional pattern. A very simple and straightforward and
cost effective way of obtaining high gain.
I have seen a Chinese 200 kW transmitter at a (redacted) SE Asia location
which had the diagram for this type of array etched into its front panel
controls even though its current user employed an entirely different
pattern.
