[DX] 27 MHz avaukset

2012-01-07 Thread Ilkka Martikainen
HKU esittää ansiokkaassa 27 MHz alueen pikkukirkkojen kuuntelussaan
myös arvioita ko. alueen keleistä ja etenemisestä.
Paras apuväline ko. alueen kelien löytämiseen on DX-Sherlockin 28 MHz
alueen yhteyskartta. Nyt kun Solar Flux on lähes aina yli 100, myös
välimerenseudun 28 MHz:n majakat kuuluvat päivittäin: Italia, Kreikka,
Turkki, Espanja yms. Englannissa ja Irlannissa on vähän 28 MHz majakoita
- ainoa kuulemani on GB3RAL (28215 kHz). Brittein saarille päin on hyviä
28 MHz:n kelejä ollut suhteellisen harvoin täältä Etelä-Suomesta, paras
kelihuippu oli loka-marraskuun vaihteessa - todennäköisesti sijaitsee
liian lähellä.
DX-Sherlock esittää lähietäisyyden etenemisen Sporadic Es -modena,
jota tämä ei todennäköisesti ole. Välimerenseudun 28 MHz:n majakat
kuuluvat tavanomaisesti melko stabiilisti koko päivän, kun aurinko on
horisontin yläpuolella - ja tämä ei ole sporadic! E-kerroksen ei
pitäisi heijastaa näin korkeita taajuuksia - eli ainoa vaihtoehto on
joko F1- tai F2-kerros. F1-kerroksen luvataan heijastavan max. 10-12 MHz
taajuuksia. F2-kerros on puolestaan liian korkealla. Ehkä kuitenkin tuo
F2-kerros voi joissain olosuhteissa taittaa signaalia hieman jyrkemmällä
kulmalla ... jolloin skippi on huomattavasti alle tuon usein mainitun
minimin 3000 km.
Mutta teoreettisen puolen anomalioista huolimatta 28 MHz:n majakat
kuuluvat hyvin, esim. 28263 kHz EA4Q/B on kuulunut tänään suhteellisen
hyvin yli kohinan GP-antennillani (Diamond KV-5 + radiaalit).

[DX] YB400 pitää pintansa 7.1.12

2012-01-07 Thread kari . helo
Hei, 
Kolusin aikani kuluksi vuosien varrella nurkkiin kertyneitä portable transistor -radioita, joista muutamat ovat vapaasti tulkiten melkein pocket-kokoa.

Laitoin kaikkiin uudet paristot ja testasin pelien pärjäämistä sisätiloissa 
olosuhteissa, joissa häiritsevinä tekijöinä olivat päällä oleva tv, 
tietokone,digiboksi ja satelliittivastaanotin. Siis melkoiset QRM-pohjat. 
Käytössä olivat radioiden omat antennit (piiska, ferriitti) eikä mitään 
ulkoisia lisälaitteita.  Kukin vastaanotin tuli toimeen omillaan.

ULA:lla oli koetaajuutena 90,0 Radio Aalto, Helsinki, Santahamina, joka on 
täältä linnuntietä runsaan 30 km:n päässä ja teholtaan 200 W (V).  
Keskiaalloilla kuuntelin Irlantia alkuillasta taajuudelta 1341 kHz:a.

Grundig YB400 oli selvästi kuulevin keskiaalloilla (myös pitkillä) ja vähintään 1. 
haastaja FM:lla.  Laitteessa on kiva äänenlaatu eikä se tunnu imevän sisätilojen 
häiriöitä muutamien kavereidensa tapaan.
Tecsun (Thieking  Koch) PL-390 kuuli Irlantia toiseksi parhaiten. FM:lla se 
taisteli ykkössijasta Grundigin ja Eton E5:n kanssa. Kyseessä  on ns. DSP-laite, 
josta on selkeää apua.
Eton E5 pärjsi hyvin FM:lla ja keskiaalloilla. Eräänä syynä 110 kHz filtteri FM:lla ja 4 kHz:n filltteri AM:lla. Se on myös mainio SW:lla, mutta surkea LW:lla. 
Tecsun PL-380 on PL-390:a selvästi pienempi taskuunkin sopiva DSP-laite. MW:lla ja FM:lla se häviää  isoveljelleen sekä Grundigille ja E5:lle.  Sen oma piiska on muiden piiskoja lyhyempi eikä ferriittikään ole pituudella pilattu. Silti ihan kuunneltava.
Eton E1 on FM:lla aika vaatimaton. AM-alueitakin se pyydystää omalla piiska-antennilla ja itse asiassa aika hyvin. Irlanti kuului PL-390:n tapaan.  Ulkoantennia MW:lla Eton E1 tietysti rakastaa, ja samat sanat ptevät E5:n ja tietojen mukaan myös YB400:n, kunhan antenni ei ole sille liian pitkä (yli sata metriä tai siihen malliin). 
Sangean ATS 909 imee itseensä sisähäiriöitä huomattavasti; R.Aallon sai kuuluville piiska-antennin kanssa temppuilemalla, eikä kovin kaksisesti sittenkään: Irlanti kuului, mutta muutamia kilpailijoita heikommin; FM:lla on käytössä 110 kHz:n filtterit, mutta R.Aalto kuului silti vaisusti.

Grundig 700 on ollut melko ahkerassa käytössä: se on hyvä FM:lla (3 x 110 kHz), 
astetta paria heikompi LW:lla ja MW:lla.
Panasonic  GX500 kuuli R.Aallon parhaiden malliin ja sai selvää Irlannistakin; 
se onkin selkeä portaabeli a´la 700 ja E1., tämän testin positiivinen yllättäjä.
Häiriöttömissä olosuhteissa keskellä korpea testin tulos voisi olla hieman 
toisenlainen. ATS 909 hyötyisi niistä oloista ehkä eniten. Eikä tätä muutenkaan 
pidä ottaa liian vakavasti. Vastaanotinyksilöissä, olosuhteissa, kuuloluissa on 
eroja, isoja tai pienempiä. Monen mainitun vastaanottimen valmistus on 
lopetettu. Tilalle ovat tulleet uudet mallit.

** ALASKA [and non]. 9655, Jan 6 at 1510, some English under RRI in Arabic, 
with SAH, in usual collision with KNLS, habitually won by RRI, despite both 
being off-the-back, 270 and 140 degrees respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALGERIA [non]. 9390, Jan 5 at 1803, no carrier detectable from scheduled 
relay via FRANCE; WWRB 9385 with Brother Scare was not strong enough to obscure 
9390 if it were on. Wolfgang B?schel the last three days has been monitoring 
all the France and Algeria broadcasts, and finds RTA is still on air ONLY at 
19-20 on 7455, 11955. However:

``TDA erected two new 250 kW shortwave sites at Bechar (curtain antennas 49/41 
mb, 31/25mb, at 135 degrees) and Ourgla (curtain ant at 206 degrees) on 
existing LW and MW TX sites. And daily 12 broadcasting hours rent at Issoudun 
will soon be ceased after completion of these two Algerian installations (wb, 
wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Jan 6)`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7365 and 9825, Jan 6 at 0638, heavy pulse jamming against 
nothing long after R. Mart? is off these frequencies; slightly higher pitched 
pulsing on 9955 against WRMI with news in Spanish from R. Praga, which was 
holding its own at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also 
U S A: WRMI

** FRANCE [and non]. 21690 is one of the RFI frequencies which has not been 
deleted, poor signal in French Jan 5 at 1816, presumably still 17-20 via GUIANA 
FRENCH. Wolfgang B?schel monitors 21690 at 12-13 and 17-20 via GUF, none of the 
former times via ISS. 15300 ISS, missing earlier, is poorly audible here at 
1808. Wolfgang B?schel observes 15300 on air only at 06-08, 12-13, 17-19.

Still nothing around 0435 from the ex-English RFI

[HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick, Week ending 07 January 2012

2012-01-07 Thread Albert Muick


ALBANIA, Radio Tirana, 7465, f/d woman in native costume drawing card in 
489 days for English airmail report on French transmission with US $5.00 
return postage and a follow-up via registered airmail and 2 IRCs.  QSL 
received 49 days after follow-up.  I received an email of December 6th 
2011 from Clara saying she was sorry I had not received my original QSL 
which she put in the mail in September because she was on holidays in 
August.  I'm thinking maybe there was confusion regarding the year 
because the QSL was late from the previous year!  At any rate, thank you 
Clara for following up.  This was for a reception at Kandahar Airfield, 
Afghanistan in August of 2010.


The Tirana QSL card, unfortunately, is printed on about 20lb stock paper 
and was not sent in an envelope, so consequently it got pretty beaten up 
by the various postal agencies it passed through.


Slow week, and I have lots of overdue QSLs outstanding.  Hopefully a new 
year will bring new QSLs, including the ones outstanding from Radio 
Maldives (seriously!), Voice of Malaysia (before they disappeared from 
shortwave), New Caledonia, and a whole slew of mediumwave stations, most 
of which are still outstanding from my time in Afghanistan.

Subject: [dxld] Special DX Test from Costa Rica

Radio Miami International, in cooperation with our client Radio Republica,
will be conducting a special DX test at 2000-2100 UTC January 7, 2300-2400
UTC January 7, and 0200-0300 UTC January 8, 2012 on the frequency of 5954
kHz from Cariari, Costa Rica. (These times are 3-4 pm, 6-7 pm and 9-10 pm
Eastern Time Saturday, January 7 in North America.) The programming aired
will be Radio Republica in Spanish. The power will be 10 kilowatts.

Shortwave listeners may be aware of the fact that Radio Republica has used
this frequency in the past, but it has been off the air for several weeks
now. Radio Miami International will verify all reception reports with a QSL
card indicating the special tests. Reports may be sent to Radio Miami
International, P.O. Box 526852,...Miami, Florida 33152 USA, or by e-mail to
i...@wrmi.net. Thank you to the DXing community worldwide for monitoring
these special tests and for letting us know if you are able to hear them in
your area.

2012-01-07 Thread Glenn Hauser
** ALBANIA. 7425, Jan 7 at 2358, R. Tirana IS before Albanian hour to NAm, 0003 
Jan 8 presumed news; not much CCI from China now, as R. Tirana has declined to 
move to 7420 to avoid it completely. This does not necessarily mean the 
collision is over as conditions vary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 13363.5-LSB, Sat Jan 7 at 2350, can barely detect some Spanish 
broadcast, i.e. the LTA army relay of some domestic Bs As station, more likely 
to happen on weekends with sports, and nothing from AFN Guam on 13363.0-USB 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 15340, Jan 7 at 1429, S Asian song with drumming and rustic 
instrument, fair signal but deep fades; must be HCJB, reminding me that I 
haven`t heard then in several weeks. Maybe long-path was cooperating. At least 
they no longer have to confront QRMorocco on 15341 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 9625, Jan 7 at 0709, 0724, open carrier is again running way after 
0606* of CBC Northern Quebec service. Think of all the lost programming that 
might as well have been modulated upon it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA [and non]. Checking for the special DX test that WRMI has 
arranged from R. República, 5954, 10 kW from its Cariari site:

First hour at 20-21 I did not expect to hear over day path, but checked anyway 
at 2000. Not even carrier audible, but I stepped thru the 49m band with BFO 
searching for any carriers at 2002 vs the ambient noise level. 6070 was best 
tho unusable, CFRX, also very weak on 6010, perhaps XEOI; and 6090 --- what 
could that be? Anguilla is still on 11775 day frequency as usual. HFCC shows 
6090 could be VOR, 200 kW, 285 degrees from `Armavir`. EiBi shows it`s Spanish 
to Spain; or Kaduna, Nigeria, discounting Brasil and Chile at this hour.

Getting back to the DX test, I am back on 5954.2 at 2309, finding a steady 
S9+18 carrier with weaker hets from both sides, something on 5955, and presumed 
Bolivia on 5952+. Weak talk on 5954+, can`t be sure it`s Spanish, as it is 
quite undermodulated. Compared it to Brasil on 5940v, which was peaking about 
the same as CR, but more fading, yet much louder.

I went back and forth to 5960`s Voice of Turkey where the fortnightly DX Corner 
was starting at 2315; including an item about this very DX test at 2324. 
Fortunately, VOT was not strong enough to be a QRM problem.

At 2330, the meter was showing 5954.2 almost as strong as 5960 TRT, but much 
less modulated; yet readability is improving little by little, and I can copy a 
few Spanish words, such as ``derechos humanos`` and ``Santiago de Cuba``. Even 
better at 2335. 2337.5, ``Cuba Linda`` song, program theme? And ``Barrio 
Adentro`` seems to be closing. 2338 gives schedule as Sat  Sun 7-10 de la 
noche on 9490 [Sackville], and also mentions ``5955`` on the 49 mb, but could 
not copy times for that if any were given.

2340, maybe starting new program? Hets are getting worse and I don`t have notch 
filter(s). 2343, ID as ``Radio República, Voz del Directorio Democrático 
Cubano``, and familiar theme song (what`s it called?).

2359, bad splatter from something just cut on, bothering this and many other 
frequencies in the 5.9-6.0 range, but I could not find a source for it. Horacio 
Nigro in Uruguay was complaining of Argentina 6060 doing that, and so were 
Argentine monitors, but it`s hard to believe its fundamental, let alone 
spurious signal would be sufficiently strong here. Then 5954.2 went off. At 
least there was never any jamming! If there were, as there had been most of 
last year, R. República would have been a total loss.

After  Jan 8, the R.R. transmission via Sackville was incomparably better, 
despite being heavily jammed. R.R. started out atop it, tho by 0204 all I could 
hear was the jamming.

The final DX test on 5954 was for 02-03 UT, checked at 0204 --- far too much 
ACI from the bigsigs on 5950 and 5960, WYFR/Taiwan and Sackville/NHK 
respectively. Best to use USB, as that gets it further from the closer one on 
the low side; still definitely a signal from R.R., but no way to copy anything 
amid all that QRM. 

This little undermodulated signal needs to be on a frequency absolutely clear 
of adjacent and co-channel QRM if it is to be of any use. For starters, they 
could get on 5955.00 to avoid one het.

Thanks to wide publicity, many others in the DXLD yg were monitoring this: 
generally poor reception if at all, and low modulation noted.
Dino Bloise, FL, was getting it better in this clip at 2315:
http://frecuencialdia.podomatic.com/entry/2012-01-07T16_56_54-08_00
Don Moman, Alberta, measured the carrier at 5954.26. Before 0300, Wolfgang 
Büschel put it on 5954.280.

While I was at it, checked 9955 WRMI itself: at  January 8, surprisingly 
good and steady S9+20 signal, no jamming, in the middle of `La Rosa de Tokio` 
DX program from Argentina, about Radio Belgrano. At 0200, still fair signal 
from WRMI, no jamming, with
