Google Earth Image showing 5LN's transmitter site at Port Lincoln. 5LN operates with 200 watts using a 40m mast.Good reception conditions from Australia on Tuesday evening (28th April) included 5LN Port Lincoln on 1485 kHz. This time around I heard a fairly clear "ABC South Australia and Broken Hill" id insert and a regional weather report. * A brief recording has been uploaded to the audio clips section on the right hand side of the web page.
This morning I was pleased to receive an email verifying the reception. Thank you Graham for the verification and your valuable assistance.
The 200 watt signal over a distance of 6 200 miles / 9 979 km also represents one of the most remarkable stations which I have been fortunate to hear with the tiny Sony SRF-M37V and 220 metre BOG.
