\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thank to SWLing Post<\/em> reader,\u00a0Stefano Mollo–a licensed Australian broadcaster–who shares the following news:<\/p>\n

Hi, Thomas,<\/p>\n

I have started test transmissions from Perth, Western Australia, on 5,045 kHz, at 75 watts (300 PEP).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Stefano’s HF transmitter<\/p><\/div>\n

For the time being, I am using the same audio of my other station–77.4 MHz FM–which you can also find and stream online here: www.77400.fm<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My test transmission are on the air\u00a0from about 7:00 pm to about 10:00 pm every evening, local Perth WA time (11:00 – 14:00 UTC).<\/p>\n

Please direct listener reports and any enquiries to 77400fm@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for sharing your news, Stefano!<\/p>\n

Post<\/em> readers<\/strong>: While 300 watts PEP is a modest broadcast signal, no doubt many in Australia, Oceania and Asia will be able to log Stefano’s station when conditions are favorable. During band openings, his signal might travel quite a distance.<\/p>\n

Let’s help Stefano by contacting him<\/a>\u00a0with detailed listener reports!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
