Vatican Radio DRM @ 9800 kHz, 29 Jul 2012


When VA DRM was a no-show yesterday I thought that Sackville had stopped relaying. It would have been before the end of the month, but close enough.

Last time there was some intermodulation, but this time around I reduced the overall gain of the antenna by about 10 dB. So it does seem that I was unintentionally exceeding the antenna's IP2 and IP3 specs.

If Sackville does stop relaying Vatican Radio at the end of July, this will be the last DRM transmission from Sackville that I will hear. That leaves The Disco Palace on the weekends, and REE on the weekdays. If I'm lucky and/or willing to stay up a bit later than I ought to, I could get RNZI.
