[DX] 27 MHz avaukset
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). 73 de SDXL1398/OH5MD, Ilkka M.

[DX] YB400 pitää pintansa 7.1.12
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. 73´s KKH -- ___ Tilaa WRTH 2011 nyt: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 - DX mailing list DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/dx ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick, Week ending 07 January 2012
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. 73 Al Muick Whitehall PA USA ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

** 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
