Re: [DX] häiriöiden torjuntaa
OK, näinhän tämä on - syöttöjohdoissa ei siis kannata säästää ... Tästä voisi helposti johtaa sopivan aasinsillan noihin keskiaaltojen syöttöjohto-ongelmiin ... niissäkin voi olla paljon merkitystä syöttöjohdon laadulla ... esim. häiriö ei ehkä aina aiheudu vaippavirrasta ... vaan huonosti suojatusta syöttöjohdosta. Minä vaan ihmettelen ... jos tavallinen verkkojohto todetaan parhaaksi tavaksi syöttää Beveragea! Kätevinä rakentajina me kasaisimme antennin loppupäähän sopivan tehokkaan WiFi-lähettimen ja sille käyttövirtaa aurinkokennoista + varmuudeksi akun. Tällöin ei syöttöjohtoa ole lainkaan ja täten se ei voi kerätä häiriöitä! Ja jos lähettimen ottoimpedanssin mitoittaisi sopivasti 450-600 ohmiseksi, tuon sovitusmuuntajankin voisi jättää kokonaan pois. Siitä vain rakentamaan ... 73 de SDXL1398/OH5MD, Ilkka M. -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com [mailto:dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com] Puolesta Ilpo J Leppänen Lähetetty: 4. helmikuuta 2012 7:03 Vastaanottaja: Suomalaisten DX-lista Aihe: Re: [DX] häiriöiden torjuntaa Minä olen käyttänyt ainakin 15 vuotta kaikessa kaapeloinnissa tuplavaippaisia koaksiaaleja kuten RG223 ja RG214. Nyttemmin myös jossain määrin Aircom 7:aa ja 5:ttä. Pidemmät kaapeloinnit RF 1/2 ja RF 7/8 kurkkutorvella. Nämä siis 50 ohmin järjestelmissä. Homma lähti liikkeelle aikoinaan siitä kun romikselta sai radiopuhelintukiasemien valmiskaapeleita SMA, BNC, TNC,N ja 7/16-liittimillä pilvin pimein ja irtokaapeliakin oli usein tarjolla. Sittemmin tuli jo 90-luvulla havaittua käytännön hyöty koska työhuoneessani minulla on todella paljon erilaista laitetta koko ajan päällä. Keskiaaltohäiriöitä kuitenkin on pahiten tullut pöytävalaisimista ja suurennuslasivalaisimesta jotka toimivat loisteputkella. Ammattikäyttöön tehdyt kaapelit RG223 ja RG214 ovat muutenkin parempia ja niissä on vaippa ja keskilangat hopeoitu. Laitteiden sisäjohdotuksessa olen käyttänyt vastaavia tyyppejä tefloneristeisinä. Ovat kaupassa kalliita, mutta niitä on löytynyt samoista lähteistä kanna pois periaatteella. 73,s IJL Tässä toinen esimerkki elävästä elämästä: Samsungin LCD-monitorit häiritsevät merkittävästi heikkoja signaaleja HF-alueilla. Ongelma ei johdu virtalähteestä tai monitorikaapelista (kokeiltu 100 % suojattua ja ferriittejä). Itse kuvanmuodostusprosessi häiritsee ja tähän eivät auta monet vanhat konstit. Vanhalla monitorilla 28 MHz alue oli täynnä monitorin harhoja uudella LED-tyypillä häiriöt keskittyvät vahvimmillaan 18-24 MHz alueeseen. Sisäjohdotus minulla on tehty RG-58 kaapelilla - sopivan joustavaa ja helppoa käsitellä mutta kaapelin vaipan häiriösuojaus ei pelkästä palmikosta johtuen ole kovin suuri. Asiaa on nyt tutkittu ja monitorin häiriöt läpäisevät suoraan säteilemällä RG-58:n suojauksen (melko lähellä monitoria). Näyttää siltä, että sisäjohdotus on tehtävä uusiksi käyttäen ulkojohdotuksessakin hyväksi havaittua AIRCOM 7 kaapelia jossa suojauksena on umpivaippa kuparifoliosta + verkko. Halvalla syöttöjohdolla häiriön syy ei ole ns. vaippavirta vaipan suojaus ei siis kaikissa tapauksissa riitä. RG-58 vs. AIRCOM 7 vaipan vaimennuksen ero lienee 20-25 dB:n luokka viimeksi mainitun hyväksi. Mistä olet noita isolaattoreita hankkinut? 73 de SDXL1398/OH5MD, Ilkka Martikainen -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com [mailto:dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com] Puolesta Martti Karimies Lähetetty: 2. helmikuuta 2012 15:56 Vastaanottaja: 'Suomalaisten DX-lista' Aihe: [DX] häiriöiden torjuntaa Tervehdys kaikille, marraskuussa huomasin uudesta SDR-vastaanottimesta kertovan tiedon netissä. Laite on LD-1B2, joka on ulkoista äänikorttia hyödyntävä simppeli 190 kHz:n kaistaa tallentava SDR. Mielenkiintoista oli, että laitteessa on häiriönvaimentimena tietokoneeseen menevään USB-linjaan asennettu isolaattori. Tällä USB-isolaattorilla katkaistaan sekä datan, että virransyötön suora galvaaninen yhteys jolloin ei synny maalenkkiä, eivätkä esim. tietokoneen hakkurivirtalähteen aiheuttamat häiriöt siirry vastaanottimeen. Tilasin sekä LD-1B2:n, että varmuuden vuoksi myöskin pari kaupallista, edullista isolaattoria. Pöydällä aluksi tehtyjen kokeiden perusteella isolaattorin avulla häiriötaso putosi 10 dB ja päästiin akkukäytön tasolle häiriöttömyydessä, kerrostalossa asemia nousi kuuluviin häiriöiden joukosta ällistyttävällä tavalla. Kun sain tämän työpaikka-QTH:ni kuntoon, oli aika kokeilla isolaattoria ihan oikeassa elämässä. Ja sama tulos, 10 dB:n ero häiriötasossa, joista häiriöistä suurin osa tulee tietokoneesta, sen virtalähteestä ja loput teollisuuslaitoksen monista muista prosesseista, kuten hitsauksesta. Nyt keskiaalloilla on tehokkaalla beveragella häiriötön -120 dB pohjataso, ilman isolaattoria se olisi tehtyjen kokeilujen perusteella n. -110 dB ja moni asema jäisi silloin kuulematta. Mutta ei jotain huonoakin. Toistaiseksi tutkimusten tuloksena on ollut, että laite toimii vain

VOA went on air February 1, 1942, nearly two months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered World War II. Speaking in German, American journalist William Harlan Hale delivered VOA's first broadcast from New York City via shortwave radio. This is a voice speaking from America. Daily at this time, we shall speak to you about America and the war, Hale announced. The news may be good or bad. We shall tell you the truth. VOA Director David Ensor says those words continue to be relevant today. Marking the 70th anniversary, Ensor said the international broadcasting agency will aggressively move forward to continue to provide an information lifeline to people in closed societies like Iran. Since 1942, VOA has expanded into a multimedia news organization that reaches an estimated 141 million people each week. Today, VOA broadcasts in 43 languages and communicates and interacts with its audiences via radio, television and the Internet.

Re: [HCDX] Log Report for Al Muick 29 January 2012
Hi Al and all, take care when reading the csv file, it does include many inactive entries for a reason. The last three entries of each line give a clue if and when the entry is active: - If the first of the three is a 6, the entry was/is/will be active for the dates specified, e.g.: 6;3010;1911 means active from 30 October til 19 November of the current season, inactive on other dates (cancelled txion, changed frequency, ...) This is useful when you check your logs on a later date when the transmission has already been cancelled and deleted from the up-to-date databases. - If the first of the three is an 8, the entry is INACTIVE until further notice. This is used for domestic stations that might come back at random, or for some wooden entries when I don't know which of them actually will be used. When the station is clearly IDed to be on the air, then I just change the 8 to a 0 to make the entry active. Entries such marked as inactive are not copied into the bc and freq files, which are generated from the csv file with a date filter. These and more codes are explained in the readme.txt.

Re: [HCDX] [dxld] Re: Log Report for Al Muick 29 January 2012
Hi Eike, Thank you for your explanation, and you certainly have nothing to apologize for in this context! The simple fact of the matter is that my logging software, DXtreme (www.dxtreme.com), imports and converts your .csv file into a Micro$oft .mdb file, however it truncates the data and does not import several of the important columns into its database. I'm ashamed to admit, I was not aware of this fact until this incident occurred. Armed with this knowledge, I will most certainly compare against your original .csv in cases where doubt may exist from this day forward. I have also sent a somewhat blistering email to the software company, asking that the program be corrected in the next release to actually include all fields.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 3-4, 2012
** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 4: 11500, very poor at 1437; had not heard it before 1400. Propagation is quite subnormal today, and no others found up to 17 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9810, Feb 4 at 0603, RHC theme music, poor signal running overtime to 0603.5*. 9850, Feb 4 at 1431 dead air from RHC while much weaker 9540 was modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GABON. 9580, Feb 3 at 2207, good signal with conversation in French mentioning Sarkozy, Myanmar, Budapest, liberté d`expression, Gabon; 2225 hilife music break, back to discussion around 2230. So, Africa No. One is revived, also being heard again by Harold Frodge in Michigan and Bill Bingham in RSA. Turned receiver back on at 0601 Feb 4, still tuned to 9580, and there it is again with French news about football, much stronger than 9575 presumed Morocco. This activity from ANO just might have something to do with a silly ballgame tournament taking place in Gabon, and also remote Equatorial Guinea. If the SF and MUF ever pick up again, need to seek the second harmonic 19160 which used to make it in the mornings here, even afternoons after dark in Gabon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. 4055, Feb 4 at 0606, tail of NA by children`s chorus, 0607 open carrier from R. Verdad, TGAV. Their twelfth anniversary is coming up Feb 25: From http://www.radioverdad.org/historia --- ``Radio Verdad salió al aire el 25 de febrero, a las 5:20 p. m., y fue inaugurada el 5 de marzo del año 2000.`` That probably means a new QSL card, which I don`t find illustrated on their website any more, but see my gallery http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LIBYA. 11600, Feb 4 at 1603, JBA carrier, presumed Tripoli in French; at least with the self-destruxion of R. Bulgaria, we no longer have to cope with QRDRM until 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15190, Feb 4 at 1508, Brother Scare via IRRS via ROMANIA is still going in Saturday extension, very poor signal today compared to usual, and heading for a collision: yes, at 1530 nothing audible but DRM noise from Vatican Radio, off at 1558 uncovering BS again. The big collision is in South Asia where both are targeted, in English. Has no one at the stations noticed this little problem? Just possibly, VR`s DRM audience there is insignificant, as is Brother Stair`s in any mode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WBCQ ** U K [non]. 17780, Feb 4 at 1420, presumed football commentary in Hausa, constant crowd noise but nary a vuvuzela! Fair signal and // better 21630. Both are scheduled from BBCWS at 1400-1430 only via Ascension, tho 17780 supposedly gets a Saturday extension until 1700 via Woofferton, but not heard this week (last week that was in English instead after 1500) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Feb 4 at 1355, WBCQ with dead air from Good Friends Radio Network; back in whack at 1435 check with gospel rock. 15420-CUSB seems to be missing on Saturday mornings lately, when Brother Scare`s Sabbath was rampant at 15-16, 17-18, interrupted by another client at 16-17; or is it just propagation? JBA carrier at 1603 Feb 4, more likely BBC Cyprus. 1737 recheck, now BS is on WBCQ 15420-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12133.5-USB, Feb 4 at 1405, AFN with NPR news, funding announcement says ``support for NPR Worldwide by . . .``. I don`t recall hearing ``NPR Worldwide`` mentioned on domestic affiliates, so is this a separate service? 1406 into `Weekend Edition` as domestically. Yes, here`s the page about it: http://www.npr.org/worldwide/ which adverts: ``Listen to the NPR FM Berlin and Worldwide Program Stream --- The NPR FM Berlin and Worldwide stream is only available to international audiences outside the United States. For audiences within the U.S., please use the link to the NPR Program Stream below.`` Sure enough, that stream wouldn`t launch for me; why should they care enough to keep it away from us? Apparently the multiple streams available to domestic affiliates are combined into one stream for the Internationals, but there is no link to any such schedule. However, you can pick any country such as Antarctica, which sends you back to Europe (which also includes Asia), showing selected program times: http://www.npr.org/worldwide/afn-euro.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 5355, that pulsing seeming Cuban jamming stray, Feb 4 at 0611, and as I listened it jumped to 5370; previously logged on 5365 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 17781.5-USB, Feb 4 at 1552, intruder, 2-way in Spanish, but mostly monolog audible from one side.

KhanA1(at)telkom(dot)co(dot)za The Luxembourg card takes me back to the early 1980's when I was at Field Station Augsburg in Bavaria. Night shift duty was intolerably boring and lonely at times, but when you're surrounded by racks and racks of R-390aURR and RACAL receivers, there is always a spare you can tune in for background noise. Radio Luxembourg's English service was our evening entertainment, and also used to include a penpal show and many of the best pops around. Couple that with AFN's Mystery Theater, and you almost got the feeling that swing and midnight shifts weren't so bad after all! Hope everyone had a great week! 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.
