S-9 +10 to +20 at 1513 UT, in Carrollton, Texas, USA (near Dallas).
Beautiful signal. Great music, too!

"UK Rocks the world" now on 15760 kHz, 1518 UT. Very good here in Sweden.

I just heard UK Rocks the world playing rock music at 1528 UT on Sunday,
May 16, 2010 using a Sangean ATS 818ACS receiver and 100 ft Coax dipole
antenna. Signal was good at my QTH in TN. Announcer female accent giving
name of transmission, followed by email addy, inviting reception reports,
off by 1601 UT. A Great catch on Sunday DXing.

15760, "UK Rocks the World" tested again Sunday May 16; did not check it
here until near the end, 1555 with ID, more music; if there was any signoff,
I missed it since already gone at 1558 as I was comparing signal
level to some other frequencies. 15760 was VG, somewhat stronger than
Portugal 15560, about equal to Sackville/CRI 15220, and weaker than WHRI
15195.
The site continues to be confidential, why? Other reports of good but
spotty reception in North and South America, Europe and South Asia, but
Noel Green in NW England found it "poor and fluttery", i.e. in skip zone,
make a UK site likely. And what's the point? There is not enough rock
music already everywhere, including from the UK?
BTW, the correct spelling of the name is "UK Rock's The World". I know
this because I see an e-QSL reproduced in May World DX Club Contact on
page 22, from Greg Majewski, CT. So it really means, "UK Rock Is the
World". The card also says Belfast UK, so it should really be UKOGBANI.

15760 UK Rocks the World - Woofferton (?), *1458-1558* May 16, Opened
with Tom Petty "Freefalling", numerous IDs and asking for reception
reports to ukrockstheworld @ googlemail.com Woman with slogan "more music,
less talk". Off with final ID. Fair to good with fading.

UK 11875 Die Suchmaschine hilft nicht weiter, stn ID nicht aufnehmbar:
11875 kHz ca 1900 UT mit relig progr in zuerst Westafrikanischer, dann
einer in Mali gesprochenen Sprache, empfang O=4. Hast du eine Idee, wer
das sein koennte?
