Tämä oli rec.radio.shortwavessa. Aikaa kaivella heidän webbisivuaan on  
siis reilu viikko.  t. RV



This was posted on the AOR-COMMUNICATIONS-RECEIVERS group:

Passport to World Band Radio has just announced on their web site that
all operations, including the web site, are to be shut down by the end of
this month.

If you are interested in reading any of their past comments, which
contain a lot of good information, you will want to do it quickly.

This is the end of an era.

[DX] Radiokäyttöön sopivia äänikortteja ?

2010-03-22 Thread jyri.rauh...@nokia.com
Näpräsin viime viikolla radiooni (Lowe HF-225) DRM-ilmaisinta ja taistelin 
sitten eilisen päivän saadakseni sen toimimaan... turhaan.
Ongelmahan oli, etten oikein tiennyt, miltä Dream-softan erilaisisten 
analyysinäyttöjen oikein pitäisi näyttää eli mikä osa virityksistä 
mahdollisesti meni pieleen.
No... tuumailu ja kokeilu otti aikansa ja stressitaso alkoi jo iltasella olla 
korkealla. Tulin lopulta siihen tulokseen, että radion systeemi saattaa 
hyvinkin toimia, mutta käytössäni oleva Ibari (eli Lenovo X301 -läppäri) ei 
tule ikinä toimimaan ilman ulkoista äänikorttia. Näyttää siltä, että läppärin 
mikrofoniotossa on kiinteä 8-9 kHz alipäästösuodin, jonka jälkeen 
kuunneltavasta DRM-välitaajuudesta 12kHz ei ole käytännössä jälkeäkään ja on 
turha toivo, että Dream pystyisi dekoodaamaan audiota. Kun radion virittää 
sopivasti sivuun, Dreamin näytölle saattaa tulla ihan oikeata tietoa lähetteen 
bittinopeudesta ja kielestä, mutta audioksi asti ei systeemi veny.

Läppäreissä on varmasti paljon eroja. Kuuntelin X301:n edeltäjällä IBM X31:llä 
viime kesänä Grimetonin museoradioasemaa ja sen 17.2 kHz ei silloin tuottanut 
mitään ongelmia. Harmi, että PC-tuki vei tuon vanhan PC:n pois samalla kun sain 
joku aika sitten tuon uuden.

Siispä:
Onko kellään kokemuksia ulkoisen (USB) äänikortin käytöstä radiohommissa? Mikä 
olisi hyvä ja halpa malli, missä ei taatusti olisi toimintaa tuhoavia 
alipäästösuodattimia, AGC:tä jne.? Olen katsellut netistä esim. 
verkkokauppa.com:in ja bulldog.fi:n myymiä malleja ja ei sitten missään kerrota 
taajuuskaistoja. Ei noita oikein viitsi periaatteella osta-kokeile 
testatakaan.
Entäpä kokemuksia Lowen DRM-käytöstä? Kannattaisiko oikein investoida softaan 
eikä tyytyä Dream'iin?
(muuten, verkostahan läytyy oikein ohjekin Lowen DRM-kytkennästä. Radion 
huoltomanuaalia jonkin aikaa tutkittuani väittäisin kyllä, että ohjeessa on 
virhe, eli mainitun R40:n karvoista ei kannata signaalia yrittää, vaan langat 
kannattaa juottaa R39:ään.  Ohje myös puhuu 10 kHz filtteristä, vaikka sekä R40 
että R39 ovat kyllä 4.5 kHz filtterin otossa...)

Moro,
Muutamat halpikset käynevät hyvin, yleensä läppäreiden kelvottomat
ääni sisään on tosiaan
viritetty puhetaajuuksille.
Näitä radiokytkentöjä on tehty Suomessakin (IJL?), varmaan
apua löytyy.

2010-03-22 Thread Ijl
Eiköhän useimmat musiikintekoon ajatellut usb-kortit toimi ok.
Itellä on viimeksi ollut käytössä semmoinen Edirolin purkki ja ei ole
valittamista.
Tietysti voi olla, että kaikkein halvimmissa on ongelmia.
Oma käyttöni kun on pääasiassa mittuskäyttöä ja olen aina hakenut semmoisia
joiden taajuusalue on mahdollisimman suuri.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 21-22, 2010

2010-03-22 Thread Glenn Hauser
** CHINA. 5075, going from music to Chinese talk, March 22 at 1246, vs ute 
beeps from 5078. Must be V. of Pujiang, Shanghai, supposedly only 15 kW 
southward, partly in Amoy per Aoki. At 1252 also had Chinese on 4940, i.e. V. 
of Strait, Fuzhou. 

And WWRB 5050 had considerable CCI and SAH at 1250 March 22, where there are 
two Chinese stations until 1300, V. of Beibu Bay, and China Huayi.

7220, at 1400 March 21, still barely audible the REE IS by mistake, morphing 
into the CRI IS, via Kunming. This anomaly will probably go away in A-10, or 
show up on some other frequency.

9380, Firedrake with flutter, March 22 at 1311; 11500 at 1333, VG Firedrake 
during drumming, and still at 1432 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAHAN. 15660, March 22 at 1337 YL with S Asian accent in English telling 
morality story for children, mentioning baseball instead of cricket, so must 
have been written by a North American. Ended at 1341 with ID as Voice of Hope, 
from Pune, India. Good signal, and really from KSDA, which at 1330-1400 is 
scheduled in English daily except Sundays and Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, March 22 at 1312 soft-spoken OM in unID language. 
Supposed to be English during this hour, but could not make out a word due to 
his accent. Must have been English, because switch to YL at 1315 for Today in 
History suddenly became understandable. Modulation level sufficient tho hum on 
carrier, but ACI from 9530, and flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ITALY. 21320-USB, March 22 at 1417, IZ4DLR in contact with a KG4 (or KC4?). 
Did not give call fonetically so not 100% sure, but QRZ.com shows: Ivan 
Costantini, (Longara) Calderara di Reno, BO 40012. This was the best of only 
three signals audible on ``15m`` at the time. On 13m, Saudi signals were much 
better than Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, March 21 at 0534, a fast SAH between XEPPM and 
reactivated RNA Brasília, the latter dominant with music // 11780, and also 
atop Vatican on 6185. As UT Sunday, RNA runs all-night, but other nights off 
the air until sometime between 0730 and 0800; March 22 at 0703, XEPPM was still 
in the clear with ID. It still has plenty of CCI from Vatican until 0619.

In A-10 shortly, Vatican finishes with 6185 at 0500, so that will help. 
Unfortunately, CRI via Sackville will still be on 6190 at 05-06 but no longer 
at 03-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 18057.9, R. Victoria, March 22 at 1411, music and talk just barely 
audible on 3 x 6019.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9900, March 22 at 1321 nice Persian-like music on piano, then at 
1323 adding singer. 1325 VOR sounders and talk in Persian about Iran, 1330 no 
break or ID. Lite long/short path echo. Must have really been Dari, listed as 
VOR in Pashto/Dari, 250 kW, 140 degrees from Samara (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. I had thought SIBC 5020 was no longer leaving the carrier 
on all night, but March 22 at 1245 I could detect one with BFO, and don`t know 
what else it could be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 15385, Monday March 22 at 1425, REE opening Emisión Sefarad with 
schedule: Mon 1425 on 15385, Tue 0115 on 11795, Tue 0415 on 9650. We know that 
15385 is correct, but 9650 is really 9690, and have been unable to confirm 
11795. Wish others, especially in S America, would check for it there or on 
11780 vs Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, WRMI in French to Haiti, March 22 at 1322, and not jammed. 
Maybe the DCJC is catching on to the new schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13845, WWCR Joyce Riley obliterated by big mushy spur from 13835 
WEWN, March 22 at 1334. At this time the fundamental of WEWN was much stronger 
than WWCR, so it all depends on their relative levels. One wonders if WWCR is 
really running full power, but even if it is, surely less than WEWN even at 
reduced power for it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 18530, WINB, March 22 at 1410, Brother Scare on 2 x 9265, registering 
S6 vs the background noise level of S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11715-, KJES, March 22 at 1427, S9+20 signal but just barely 
modulated with hum, detectable singing and verse-reading. Could also tell it 
was on before 1400 with much weaker signal; now timeshifted to 13-16 UT, when 
it`s on, but pointless with such modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9385, March 22 at 1428, Brother Scare on WWRB, splattering with 
sizzling sound as low as 9360 and as hi as 9405, especially bothering another 
defective signal, WTJC 9370, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, March 22 at 1250 big signal but modulation 
somewhat distorted, mentioning program is from Studio 4, and plugs for 
something in Miami, so doubt this

[HCDX] end of RS shortwave service

2010-03-22 Thread Robbie j.
Hey All, Its too bad to hear about radio sweden shutting down its shortwave 
service. I understand that it costs a LOT to run. But I think that they are 
making a big mistake in meny ways. Another of the hf stalwrts gone! I heard 
them here in RS sometimes.(even got a nice email once from them!) Sounds like 
the shortwave service as a whole is dying with several big names alrady of the 
air or soon to be. Too bad. 73 and good dx,(whats left, that is) Robbie in 
wyoming

** CHINA. 5075, going from music to Chinese talk, March 22 at 1246, vs ute 
beeps from 5078. Must be V. of Pujiang, Shanghai, supposedly only 15 kW 
southward, partly in Amoy per Aoki. At 1252 also had Chinese on 4940, i.e. V. 
of Strait, Fuzhou. 

And WWRB 5050 had considerable CCI and SAH at 1250 March 22, where there are 
two Chinese stations until 1300, V. of Beibu Bay, and China Huayi.

7220, at 1400 March 21, still barely audible the REE IS by mistake, morphing 
into the CRI IS, via Kunming. This anomaly will probably go away in A-10, or 
show up on some other frequency.

9380, Firedrake with flutter, March 22 at 1311; 11500 at 1333, VG Firedrake 
during drumming, and still at 1432 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAHAN. 15660, March 22 at 1337 YL with S Asian accent in English telling 
morality story for children, mentioning baseball instead of cricket, so must 
have been written by a North American. Ended at 1341 with ID as Voice of Hope, 
from Pune, India. Good signal, and really from KSDA, which at 1330-1400 is 
scheduled in English daily except Sundays and Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, March 22 at 1312 soft-spoken OM in unID language. 
Supposed to be English during this hour, but could not make out a word due to 
his accent. Must have been English, because switch to YL at 1315 for Today in 
History suddenly became understandable. Modulation level sufficient tho hum on 
carrier, but ACI from 9530, and flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ITALY. 21320-USB, March 22 at 1417, IZ4DLR in contact with a KG4 (or KC4?). 
Did not give call fonetically so not 100% sure, but QRZ.com shows: Ivan 
Costantini, (Longara) Calderara di Reno, BO 40012. This was the best of only 
three signals audible on ``15m`` at
