Hi

Thank you for your report, I can confirm that it was our transmission, its good to hear from our listeners.
We are at present testing a new 500 watt rig which should improve the quality of our transmission. (hopefully) Today we are running at approx 300 watts of carrier on test which was running nicely until i over cooked the supply volts and caused the pa to fail. we are aware that we are slightly off frequency at the moment so will reprogram the exciter in a day or so during the PA repairs.
We were using a G5RV antenna (half Size) antenna, but have taken to using an inverted "L" at 20 feet (6 meters) off the ground with great results. There's a vertical under construction as we speak.
We are located in the UK,

In our main studio We use Jazlar for play out, with an air mate desk, our on air mics are Rode Broadcasters. We have Stereo tool for the processing emulating an Orban Am Optimod processor, with a  Drawmer 241 providing a Brick wall compress just in case.


I hope you find this eQsl of interest,
please keep listening out for us on 6930 Khz

Kind Regards

The Nova Team
