In German newsgroup A-DX complaint since last Thur / Fri about that
distorted WOF signal at 07-08 UT 6045 kHz KBS Korean daily.
Sven in Norway reported that terrible signal out of WOF since last week.
(WOF 6045 KBS Korean).
6045 KBS WORLD RADIO 0700-0800 daily Korean 250 105 Woofferton G KBS BAB
Since the scrapping of Skelton transmitter site in Cumbria,
Babcock are a bit short on available transmitters.
Today is first weekday to repair the TX unit S94 there.
S=9+60dB powerhouse here at my place some 850 kilometers away.

xxxxxxxx told me the usual sender (S94) that carries this transmission
is out of service for repairs and so it's being carried at 300 kW on S81.
S94 is AMC 250kW so a 62.5 kW carrier at 100% modulation!
I'll check it tomorrrow on a normal rx and see what it sounds like.

Wer immer das auch sein mag, er landete hier einen Volltreffer: s9+60+,
sprodadisch fading. Vielleicht bringt ein Empfangsbericht mehr AufklÃrung.

As Glenn has often posted in the past:
"That`s typical of BaBcoCk tests from Woofferton as reported elsewhen and
discussed in DXLD (gh, DXLD)"

Very strong signal on 6045khz starting at 14:45 until sign off at 15:16
Brief music bursts and British sounding OM with announcement, "You are
listening to a test transmission. Please email your reception report to
transmissiontest@... mailto:transmissiontest@...";
I heard this lot on 13 metres last year. Anybody know who they are. The
strengtht certainly implied UK. I don't think I have heard so strong a
signal on 49 metres. They could have been in my back yard !
