Re: [DX] Aurora-ES:ää...
Hei, ihan pikainen kysymys FM-tuntijoille. Mikä keli tämä aurora-Es oikein on? Siis 29.5. kelin huomasin, ja menettelin perinteisen ohjeen mukaisesti. Suuntasin antennin pohjoiseen, vaan signaali heikkeni, eikä vahvistunut, kuten aurora-kelistä on vakuutettu. Ruotsalaiset kuuluivat parhaiten lännen suunnasta, kuten Es:llä (jolloin ruotsalaiset tosin ovat suurharvinaisuuksia paitsi aivan eteläisimmät). Mikä tämä aurora-Es oikeastaan on, aurora vai Es? Vai molempia jotenkin sekaisin? Minusta tuo 29.5. vaikutti enemmän auroralta. Sinkku oli tasainen, mutta rupuinen ja töhryinen A-indeksin heiluessa 30 tienoilla.

RE: [HCDX] Re: Some logs

Good signal at tune-in. (Chiochiu-QC) 1180 CUBA, CMBA Radio Rebelde, Villa-Maria MAY 31 0556 - Assumed w/ woman and man talk noted way under WHAM. (Chiochiu-QC) Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu Sanyo MCD-S830 barefoot QTH: Montreal (Pierrefonds-Est), QC Conditions were back to normal or at least only VERY sligthly auroral (probably just auroral enough to allow Cuba to sneak through way under an almost impossible to null WHAM). WLIB was excellent on 1190 playing soca music, but some very slightly AURORAL conditions were suggested by some very selective fadings on short-skip signals such as Radio Disney 1460 in Albany (I don't know the call-letters for this one)/ But, I'm surprised on getting two foreign DX signals for that late in the DX season. I wonder though if I'm gonna get any deep-South American stuff this summer. Of course this Thursday evening when CBA was auroraed out, the channel had NOTHING, so I couldn't hear LR1 Radio El Mundo like I wanted to. If I'm not going to hear deep-South American DX this summer wich is still very probable, because it is very rare for inland DX'ers to get this DX, I'd like to hear at least 1 Venezuelan. I haven't heard YV DX since the end of March and I really miss them. This last season, RCR-750 wasn't the most commun YV here, but Union Radio-640 wich was often almost local-like. Well, I'd like to hear from Union Radio-640 this summer, at least once. The past night, I could only hear growls on 640 along with some sub-audible heterodynes (they were two), but the signals were too weak for audio detection. On 750 I could get nothing at all, aside for some slight CKAC-730 het. I could not even get WSB ! Well, the next season I'm going to try to hear two new exotic stations on 750, HJDK Caracol in Medellin wich I tentatively received before and KFQD in Anchorage, AK. While the first one may be "relatively" easy, KFQD would be a very tough catche and I may be hunting them for years.

[HCDX] DX PARTYLINE
I´m wondering, a week ago this time 1430 UTC I was listening to HCJB Kununurra on 15480 kHz. Programme was legendary DX Partyline, now I´m hearing continuous classical music on this channel. I missed the morning transmission to Europe, because of the partial solar eclipse I was watching. I needed some sleep.Total of 85% the Sun was was eclipsed. It was annular in Scotland, Greenland and Iceland. Not total anywhere. Who can tell me and other European and N.American listeners, how to hear DXPL?!

Re: [HCDX] Huge Aurora - Almost no MW skywave signals
Hi Bogdan, Seems as though the aurora has been stirring things up in the Southern Hemisphere too. Yesterday, shortwave propagation above 7 MHz was hopeless with lots of fluttery signals. During last evening Fri 30 May,there was anE Skip opening between Wellington, NZ and New South Wales, Aust. There were strong signals, strong enough for a picture to form behind the local stations on Ch1 (45.25mHz) and ch 2 (55.25mHz). This afternoon sat 31 May, I checked on the Shortwave bands and found strong signals up to 21MHz, There was also alone ham on 10 metres. Last night around midnight the whole of the Southern Horizon was a reddy colour which I think was an Aurora. Not having seen the Aurora Australis before, what I saw could have been street lights.

The past evening I was surprised even tough there was an hour or so before sunset to not being able to hear at all WPTR Legends 15-40 wich is a short-skip "pest" usually here, from Albany, NY. Then two hours after dark they were not audible at all either and semi-local WICY on 1490 kHz had an interference-free signal. Until just after 10:30 PM when I got a very threshold US talk programk on 1180 out of WHAM on my Sangean 606 barefoot (I expected to get Cuba, but the time of the year along with huge AU condx meaned, I think, southern domestics, Caribbean and South Americans were absorbed too by the D layer). Also WQEW Radio Disney 1560 was poor and fadey playing Pink - Get the Party Started around 10:28 PM. They are usually excellent, tough slightly WEAKER than WPTR-1540. I wonder why I couldn't get WPTR-1540 at all. During the most severe AUroras in the 2000-2001, 2001-2002 and the last 2002-2003 seasons I could still get them weakly with lots of fadings, but that wasn't the case at all. Due to the D layer absorption of long-haul MW signals at this time of the year, unfortunatly, I couldn't hear ZNS at all and it would have been a new log here. RIght now, the ZLS morse-code beacon in Stella Maris, on 526 kHz, is my only Bahamian catche. I go to bed around 11:30 PM unfortunately and I missed a likely Au induced E-skip opening on the FM band, to South Dakota, that many WTFDAers reported. I didn't had much luck this FM season yet with Sp-E-skip and the batteries on my Sangean 606 aren't fresh either and I get a lot of E messages each few minutes, especially when I put the volume high. SOmetimes, I cannot open the radio several times in a row, even when the VOL is at MIN. I get the same E (for Error) message. And I don't have any other decent FM rx. Just in passing, my 89.9 unID wasn't Bahamas, but tropo-scatter from a new Dance-music station in Ottawa, CHIT. I got them with a steadier signal on the car-radio with my father this Monday ! MWDXer John Plimmer in South Africa had, on the other hand, a lot of luck with the recent solar flare. He got WWRL-1600, over 12000 kilometers from his location. A very big amount of congratulations to him ! I'd LOVE to hear any South African MW signal from anywhere. I think, if I could just get the Radio Xhesa 846 kHz radio station wich have been received a few times in NF and Mark Connelly tentatively got them in MAssachussets, then it would be super-fun ! Unfortunatly I haven't heard the faintest TA MW audio yet, and only some really faint ones on LW (from, I think, the 183 and 189 kH stations), so I think a much better receiver and a DXpedition to an excellent coastal QTH would be the best things to do in order to log South Africa from eastern North America. I think Bermuda would be the ebst QTH for that. But, programming-wise, I think the Venezuelan AM stations have better programming than the South Afro ones. More tropical music, more proffessionnal sounding announcers, more IDs... Of course, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime thing If I get SOuth African MW, but I get quite some YVs and would dearly like to log all the 22 (or 23 ?) YV states. Right now, for the next season, I really need the Carabobo state. The best bet in my opinion is YVKK Radio Nacíonal Antena Popular on 770 kHz in Valencia. WHen AU condx are in, during the fall and winter months, I seem to get mostly the 100 kW RCN Bogota station, when WABC is poorer or not there, but once this fall I got a woman in SS with a fair signal, under a somewhat subdued WABC with no Colombians audible, so this may had been a good sign. During really severe auroras, hearing the other Valencia outlets on 1220 and 1470 should also be possible, but less likely. I do know that there is a
[HCDX] Re Huge Aurora
Whilst this is not strictly broadcast information, I think the following is interesting. The aurora caused widespread blackout up here at 52N, the ham dx cluster was going mad with spots from all over Europe, West Eu working East Eu and even Russia on 2m. I only operate up as far as 6m but even on my indoor dipole I was able to hear Au signals from Scotland and Poland (none worked though). This was around 2330-0030z. Now for the odd part, At the same time as the Au event on VHF, I found very enhanced conditions on 80m (3,5MHz). 80 was wide open to Asia and South America, in fact in over 20 years of operating on HF I have never heard such strong signals from Brazil on that band. I worked a Brazilian who was peaking to 10dB over 9 here on my vertical. I was only using 50w (he was running 700w and a folded dipole) at the time. 40m also showed enhancement, but to a lesser degree. Signals to North America, however, were very poor and much weaker than usual (as I would have expected). Strange phenomena to be heard together. Not sure what caused the enhancement to South America, I can only guess that it was something similar to greyline propagation, and that the edge of the area of increased absorption somehow channelled the signals through with very little absorption/attenuation. 73 Sean, G4UCJ Message: 7 Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 17:22:23 +1200 From: Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [HCDX] Huge Aurora - Almost no MW skywave signals To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi Bogdan, Seems as though the aurora has been stirring things up in the Southern Hemisphere too.
