[AMRadio] 7185

2009-12-03 Thread Todd Carpenter
Well nothing heard again today. I called for about 30 minutes both AM and ssb. 
I may try again tomorrow too weather permitting. I have a 75 meter antenna, but 
i have never had any success with it. I may try it again sometime. Anyone hear 
me today? Thanks for your efforts, i am sure that my radio needs adjustment for 
better audio quality. 73 Todd

Hi Todd,

Good that you're trying to establish some AM action down low on 40m.  i have 
to wonder about the time of day though.  Have you done any listening in your 
target area where other AM stations might receive you ?

I recommend checking reception on a tuneable, streaming audio HF website called 
globaltuners.com.

You can key up, call CQ, and immediately know whether and how strong you would 
be heard by a station in the region where the internet-based receiver is 
located.

I have found this resource very valuable in determining whether band supports 
propagation anywhere !!! let alone to area where specific AM stations are 
located.

It also may prove important as you check your 80meter antenna performance, and 
as you refine any audio shortcomings you may have. I wouldn't sweat the audio 
part of it for now, compared to getting on the air, but sure, you would want to 
know.

Here's a screen shot, with audio, of how I heard my own station as I called CQ 
recently.  I went from camera mic audio to direct-coupled audio from the 
computer's sound card. The quality is adequate to reveal any problems.

I was running a 1946 Collins 300-G, retired as the original transmitter of WUST 
in Washington, DC.
