UK Rocks The World will be back on the air on Sunday 16th May at 1500
UT. Frequency: 15760 kHz. Target Area: North America (but reception
reports worldwide gratefully received). Started at 1457 UT almost
immediately after carrier appeared. It's a poor and fluttery signal at my
location in NW England.

I am hearing Rock music, no announcements , two numbers. I tuned in at
1501 seeing your report Arnaldo. Its as strong as BBC or any other 444
with my log periodic beamed in the general direction of Europe. Will check
more for an announcement.
On the Sony ICF 2010 and just only the whip 100% readable 333 some fading.
What is the power, via Skelton UK?

Hi Noel, hi Victor, I guess 15760 Woofferton-UK usually 250/300 kW, the
back main lobe 110 degr goes towards Paris, Milan, Venice, Croatia, etc.
So minus 30 degrees is a fair S=6-7 signal here in southwestern Germany.
Similar calibre on same signal strength on ETON E1 display from the
reverse direction: BBC Arabic from Zyyi Cyprus on close-by channel 15790
kHz. Only Deutsche Welle Kigali in Russian on 15620 kHz is a bit stronger
like S=8-9 at same time span.
Similar action we had Radio Oeoemrang Amrum Germany on 15245 kHz
Wertachtal 500 kW at 1557-1700 UT on Feb 21 only. Every year a single
transmission. Also azimuth towards North America - CAN, ALS, USA, MEX.

15760 Came on a few minutes early with ID and Tom Petty with Freefalling.
Excellent signal, like a local here. 1459 UT frequency 15760 kHz.

Nothing special, so what is the purpose with this transmission?
(73. Raúl Saavedra-CTR, dxld May 16)
WOF - they have only zone 11 target gear, at 238 and 250 degrees azimuth.
But I guess for such a more or less SINGLE private action you may use a
back lobe of 108 or 120 degrees array, back towards 290 - 310 degr target.
Such reflector curtain barrier array is NOT leak-proof in back direction.
