This DX site was created to let fellow dxer's know what we are up to while on DXpeditions in our former Walsoorden site (HOL) and the new site near Veurne, West Flanders, Belgium. We hope it inspires other dxers to try DXpeditions.

We travel to such locations to escape noise and to be able to put out long beverage antennas. Something we cannot do from home. DXpeditions take place several times a year. Usually in winter. Dxer's from Belgium and The Netherlands take the opportunity to dx from such rural dx location.

Are you interested in future dx trips? Get in touch with us. Send an email to us. We are always happy hearing from dxer's from other countries.

Real Gem found in the KNL-13 files !

A real gem was found in the KNL-13 jaguar files by Marc Vissers.  We noticed already that on the 3rd of February on 1210 kHz a signal that was surfacing occasionally bringing it just to minimal audio levels with religious content in Spanish, but it was hard to find any clear indication of which station it really was. The offset of 1209.9943 kHz made us dreaming that this could be the low power  250 Watts Radio El Libertador, Vergara, Uruguay. And YES !!! Marc found after a long intensive search an announcement at 0433 UTC as "Esta edición es una producción de Radio Transmundial". This is the overnight program that is carried by Radio El Libertador !

There are no other entries in MWList that this stations is logged in Europe before. Only Martin Hall from MWC logged it last year in Scotland. Also Jaguar’s Tomcat Nordic loglist doesn’t show it. 

We also tried to verify that this station is really only 250 Watts searching the Unidad Reguladora de Servicios de Comunicaciones site (Uruguayan FCC equivalent) and and the Normativa y Avisos Legales del Uruguay and found this http://www.impo.com.uy/bases/resoluciones/276-1998/1

So it sounds like the power listed in the WRTH and MWList is correct.

Well done Marc !!!
