[Below, you’ll find]\u00a0my reception report for the digital decode of the Fldigi message by Dr. Kim Elliott on The Mighty KBC (6040 kHz) Saturday night<\/em>:<\/p>\n

I took Kim Elliott’s suggestion and listened to The Mighty KBC on 6095 kHz on Sunday morning using the Utwente WebSDR<\/a> which receives signals in Enschede, in the Netherlands. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Mighty KBC finished their last broadcast on 6095 kHz at 11:00AM our time. I recorded their program, but the file is big. So, attached is the last 4 minutes of their program (click here to download)<\/a>, as received by the WebSDR:<\/em><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The_MIghty_KBC_March_27_2016_ending.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

It’s too bad that The Mighty KBC is shutting down!<\/em><\/p>\n

Many thanks for both your decoded message and your recorded audio, Steve! I agree: it is too bad the KBC had to shut down their 6095 kHz broadcast.<\/p>\n

Note that The Mighty KBC\u00a0will continue on their AM frequency, DAB and streaming. Check out the KBC website for details<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
