Was listening to you on 5045 kHz USB on March 20th 2020 and I swear that I heard slow scan television (SSTV) and then RTTY around 8:50pm before you signed off on that frequency.

Using an converted Radio Shack DX-394 as an HF up-converter feeding it's 45 MHz first IF into my SDRplay RSP1 and using Simon Brown's SDR Console v3.0.21.

The Antenna is an 10m (1/4 wave at 40m) wire antenna fed into an 9:1 un-un and into an Codar PR30 valve pre-selector using an 6EJ7 valve (Glow MOS FET)

Hi Daro,

sorry for the delay in responding ,

The only program I run around that time is 'This is a music show' from 'Your Host' , from Canada
and he does run some digital towards the end of the show .

20:00 AEST (10:00 hrs UTC) - This is a music show with 'Your Host' including Vinyl music & images MFSK64 towards the latter part of the show

There is also a show before that from 19:30 AEST called 'Radio Northern Europe international' and they also run some MFSK64 towards the end of the show.

I like the equipment you are using and I also do use remote SDR's and it's amazing how far technology has come.

Great to know you are listening . We are also on 3210 kHz USB after 6PM on Friday , Saturday, Sunday and Monday. 5045 kHz USB 3PM to 6PM Friday , Saturday and Sunday. I'll be having some morning transmissions on 5045 kHz Saturday and Sunday Mornings from 7AM till 10AM.
Schedules and frequencies are available at : https://www.uniqueradio.biz/ or just write uniqueradio.info and that will get you there too.

my email is : manager.uniqueradio.info

Thanks for your post,

I only listen on Monday nights and due to the absence of the 5045 signal I assumed you had gone off the air.

So I just now tried 3210 USB, signal strength 0, two male voices talking about something, couldn't determine what they are saying.

My radio has a digital display and PLL. There's no way it could be 10 kHz out.

I'll try again next Monday night.

Now I could hear a man talking about something. He might be in an interview. It's in English. The strength is 0-1.

I'll try again later tonight.

A man was singing, but since the signal was pretty much lost in the slight hash, I couldn't really make it out. Sounded a bit like I imagine Slim Dusty may have sounded.

All I can say is 5045 has much better reception. Are you using the 1000 Watts allocated to you? It seems a lot less.

I think WWV & WWVH 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz are still going if you need to check a frequency counter
