I am arranging test weekend for European pirates to try to reach Japan on Short Wave!
Japanese DXers with nicknames "Shinzo" and "RadioSiesta" will have DX-pedition in Hokkaido, North Japan.
It will be from Saturday morning 29th January till Sunday evening 30th January.
They will monitor given HF-frequencies on the following times:
Saturday 29.1.2011 >> Sunday 30,1.2011
Note: CHANGED EVENING-TIMES and frequencies!
1. Saturday morning 08.00 - 09.00 UTC
2. Saturday evening 21.00 - 22.00 UTC (7-11 MHz)
3. Sunday morning 08.00 - 09.00 UTC
4. Sunday evening 21.00 - 22.00 UTC (7 - 11 MHz)
The brodcast-frequency should be from 9.000 till 15.500 MHz.
I invite all European SW-stations to broadcast on these time-slots and try to reach Japan!
Please contact me and give me your:
1) Station-name
2) Frequency or frequencies
3) Times of broadcasting
4) Power (about), AM or USB/LSB
5) Country
This information will spread over whole Japan DX-community. So there might be dozens of listeners in Japan and Asia! I hope listeners in Canada and USA will also monitor the frequencies - and in Europe of course!
I WILL LIST ALL STATIONS HERE who will try to reach Japan.
If you would like to broadcast on some of these times between 9-15 MHz send me e-mail to: harriku(-at-)dnainternet.net

Hi Harri:
Great idea!
I will certainly monitor any tests that you post, and I have placed a link on the North American site www.hfunderground.com.
From my own recent observations, I doubt if the 0800-0900 tests will be heard here on the higher frequencies, but 1800-1900 is quite possible.

Hello Harri, great initiative!
I will broadcast on 15.070 Sunday morning but.... I hope the 19 meter is already 'open'. Too bad it is still winter.... but I give it a try! Since I do my broadcastings from the fields, I should set the alarm-clock! ;-)

Hi!All!
I'm Shinzo, a Japnasese SWL.
Great thanks to Harri san and participating pirate stations for your actions!
We are looking forward to trying to catch your european pirate stations!
Woow awesome plan,dude!
My name is Mike(Masayuki) live in Japan,too.
In this season, over 15MHz frequencies propagation is not good from 1800-2100UTC in Japan.
Quitely dead around this time.
I suggest these stations will be on air better between 9 and 7 MHz.
Radio Amica can be heard 7610khz sometimes in Japan.
And also between 0700 to 0900 UTC i think 13MHz band is much better than 15MHz.I hope to see these pirates at the day!!!
All the best
Mike
Hi Mike!
You are right! After 18 utc 19 mb is silent, so we might cancel evening times.
So, it seems we have to concentrate on morning times (UTC).
WE MUST TAKE THIS AGAIN IN APRIL-MAY when HF-frequenices are better!
But let's see the results of this period.

To dear Harri & Pirate owners!
Thanks sooooo much for your reply!
To be honet with you, St Helena had a special broadcasting toward to Japan from 21:00-22:00UTC on 11092.5Khz by USB mode was so succesful on october 2009.
We had a good signal even though transmitter power 1kW!!
Cupid Radio was heard on 15070kHz around 08:00 UTC on Feb 2010.
So i would like to give you about when and what time is the best toward to Japan...
So if possible, we would like you to try to broadcast from 21:00 to 22:00 on 11MHz.
I will also DX pedition somewhere in Kyusyu island.I wanna try to catch thier signal,too.
Best regards
Mike

OK. This might go too complicated - but I added frequency-range 7-11 MHz to eve-time! If someone want to go there, why not.
Only a few stations have tx and antenna to this area!
Most stations have only 19 mb tx-antenna(+48 mb).
Mike. Contact me directly. Tnx.
