[DX] Kidekone

2015-03-12 Thread Markku Niiranen
Mistä kidekuulokkeita ja kiteitä nykyisin saa?
Täytyy sanoa, että nuo brittien kidekoneet ovat upeita!
Olen niitä aiemminkin ihaillut tuosta IM:n linkittämästä osoitteesta.

Ensimmäinen kidekone - jota olen näpelöinyt - taisi olla 1964.
Vanhin veli oli sen jostain saanut ja kone oli hauskasti raketin muotoinen,
muovia.
Ferriitti asemien valintaan pilkisti piikkinä raketin kärjestä, tuo oli
teollinen tuote.
Hieman myöhemmin veli rakensi ekan 1-transistorisen, ja sillä mm. läheinen
YLE Joensuu kuului paljon paremmin. =)

Kirjoitin joskus muinoin Radiomaailmaan jutun 10 maata kidekoneella. 
Pitäisi koettaa uudelleen, mutta luulenpa maiden lukumäärän jäävän 
paljon vähäisemmäksi nykyisin.
Silloin käytin kidekuuloketta, mutta nyt voisi jo tehdä myönnytyksen ja 
laittaa pientaajuusvahvistimen kidekoneen perään. Kuten Ilkka toteaa, 
siinä tapauksessa ei ole kuitenkaan kyseessä enää aito kidekone.

Ja kuuluuko kidekoneella?  Vaatii todella hyvän maan ja antennin, koska
alkuperäisellä rakenteella ei ole vahvistusta.  Ns. kidekuuloke nostaa
herkkyyttä huomattavasti alkuperäisiin magneettisiin kuulokkeisiin

puolijohde-diodilla OA85 kuuluvuus oli varmempaa. Ulkomaalaisia asemiakin
kuului iltakeleillä, kun viritti kelan keskiaalloilla: Ruotsia, Saksaa,

Kiitos linkistä.
Jos kidekoneen toimintaperiaate ei ollut tuttu, niin selvisikö se tuostakaan
ohjelmasta... Sellainen pieni käytännön seikka, että kidekone tarvitsee
antennin ja maajohdon - paitsi tietysti aivan lähikentässä - ei tullut
mitenkään esille. Laite ei siis ollut kovinkaan kannettava
kuuntelutilanteessa. Ei myöskään selitetty, miksi se nykyisin ei toimi.
Mielenkiintoinen pintaraapaisu kuitenkin, ohjelmassa suunnilleen kohdassa
4:22 - 12:27.

Suorastaan alkoi taas kidekoneen rakentaminen houkuttaa. Kyllähän sillä
yöaikaan pitäisi jotain kuulua (MW/LW), jos paikallinen häiriötilanne antaa
myöten.

** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, March 11 at 0600 no signal; 11775, March 11 at 1342, 
Caribbean Beacon remains off, clearing the latter for weak AIR signal. 
Meanwhile, circa 0610 we could still hear PMS both on 9975 KVOH, and 34 seconds 
earlier on 5935 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, March 11 at 1359, BB IS, very poor; mistimesignal ending 
at 1359:19.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11710  11745  11815, March 11 at 0538, crackling spurs from 
11780.1v RNA/RNB remain unmistakable here, somewhat weaker on 11710 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers, morning of March 11:

14920, March 11 at 1350, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter; no 12s or 13s

14870, March 11 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter; out of synch with the 
others by several words; none in the OOB 15s

16750, March 11 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, poor, ahead of 14920

16530, March 11 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, good

16450, March 11 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter

17170, March 11 at 1354, CNR1 jammer, fair, almost // 16530

17200, March 11 at 1354, CNR1 jammer, poor

16920, March 11 at 1424, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter; no 13s, 15s

16530, March 11 at 1424, CNR1 jammer, // 16920, fair with flutter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, March 11 at 0600, RHC is off this frequency, neither Spanish nor 
English: need to check it earlier. Now the others are all in overkill English: 
6000, 6060, 6100, 6165: or rather jazz music at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7405, March 11 at 0608, Cuban music, R. Martí VG with no 
jamming audible; but pulse jamming vs nothing on 7365, and 6030 beneath 
wall-of-noise jamming. Seems the DentroCuban Jamming Command is confused as 
usual by the DST time shifts, even tho both Cuba and US do it in lockstep 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9690, March 11 at 1329, miscellaneous pop music, never IS, 1330 
opening AIR GOS in English announcing 9690, 11620, 13710; poor but clear, into 
news; 1340 Comment[a]ry about India-Sri Lanka relations: Tamils need to 
coöperate. At 1347 I have bandscanned up to 13710 and find a much better signal 
here during vocal music, good with flutter (but to be ruined by CRI in a few 
minutes) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, March 11 at 1323, RNZI `Dateline Pacific` with news from 
island after island, now about Cook Islands getting some new coinage, including 
one that`s triangular. Only fair signal, not as good as usual (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1650, March 11 at 0639 UT, KCNZ Iowa ID in passing; even 
when aimed toward Sallisaw I get KCNZ and no trace of KYHN. But at 1258 UT 
March 11, KYHN poor signal promoting Iphone and Android access, ``Arklahoma`s 
conservative talk radio``. Must be underpowered and/or sporadic (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. (RF 13, virtual 13.2), OETA OKLA channel, March 9 at 1700 UT is 
really screwed up. `Charlie Rose` is supposed to replay now, but instead we`re 
getting `Antiques Roadshow`, then for a few minutes video if not audio replaced 
by `Technical Difficulties` slide in the style of traditional circular test 
patterns, photoed: 
http://www.w4uvh.net/OETAtechpat.jpg
This screenshot is from a tape and loses a lot of resolution; fine print at 
bottom are IDs for the four main stations of the network. But the tool icons in 
the middle show up nicely.

Finally gets this unravelled and joins Charlie Rose in progress a few minutes 
later. May have something to do with current `Festival` fundraiser disrupting 
normal programming. (Axually I was watching this on Suddenlink cable 140, but 
could have seen it directly, with constant breakup as both my external antennas 
can`t pull in OETA reliably, unlike OKC full-power stations on UHF.)

The Oklahoma Network claims it is the medium most trusted by Oklahomans, and 
has the most (proportional?) viewership of any PBS sub-network; yet The 
Oklahoma Observer, March Observerscope column says: ``Dart: to the 
Republican-dominated Legislature, starving the state`s crown jewel, OETA --- 
now the lowest-funded public television network in America``. That`s Oklahoma 
for you! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1763 monitoring: confirmed Wed March 11 from 
1315:40 on WRMI 9955, rather weak with ACI on both sides, persistent RTTY on 
hi, Japanese clandestines via Taiwan to N Korea on lo side. 

Also confirmed via the Wide-band WebSDR Utwente tuned to 7265-USB at 1535 UT 
Wed March 11, quite sufficient, but by 1540 I`m hearing some CCI singing 
underneath, which per Aoki would come from CRI via Kashgar in Hindi, or CNR2 
via Baoji-Sifangshan 724 site. Clear again a few minutes before 1600, then 
total takeover by CRI in Russian, Beijing site listed to the northwest, as 
Hamburger Lokalradio is over. Next WOR:

Olettaisin, että juuri germanium-diodeilla tuo tasasuuntauksen kynnysjännite
on alhaisin, so. ovat herkempiä tässä tarkoituksessa kuin esim. piistä
tehdyt vastaavat. OA- ja AA -sarjat ovat tässä OK. Schottky-  eli
hotcarrier-diodit ovat nopeampia kytkennältään ... mutta näin tavallisessa
ilmaisussa niillä tuskin on etua tästä. Mutta asiahan on helppo kokeilla ...
jos omistaa kidekoneen. Diodithan ovat nykyisin melko halpoja.
Omat rakenteluni olen alkanut kidekoneella, mutta siitä siirryttiin melko
nopeasti transistoreihin (OC70, OC71, OC30/35) ja paristoputkiin (DLL21).
Niin se aika kuluu ...

Kidekuulokkeet taitavat olla Suomessa kiven alla. Joku ulkomainen
verkkokauppa ehkä pystyisi toimittamaan:
http://www.crystalradio.net/suppliers.shtml

Pienoispietsokaiuttimesta voisi rakentaa kuulokkeen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVapqz4yBCY
Pienikokoisen pietsokaiuttimen voi hankkia hyvinvarustetusta
suomalaisestakin elektroniikkaliikkeestä. En tiedä, mikä tällaisen herkkyys
tulisi olemaan alkuperäiseen kidekuulokkeeseen verrattuna. En ole kokeillut.

Kiteenä eli ilmaisindiodina voi käyttää mitä tahansa germaniumdiodia (esim.
AA112, AA119, AA144, OA85, 1N34, 1N60, jne.).
Onkohan joku kokeillut Schottky-diodeja (1N6263 tai 1SS97)?

Takaisinkytketyllä 1-transistorisella kuuluukin sitten jo paljon enemmän,
mutta se on oma lukunsa.

** BOLIVIA. 5952.45 approx., March 13 at 0039, Radio Pio XII, Siglo XX, in 
nicely at fair level, from talk to Andean music, later talk unseems Spanish 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6040, March 13 at 0046, Brazuguese mentions ``canal aberto`` --- not 
exactly, but it`s RB2, much better on 11935v. Not heard on 9725 lately tho I 
have not pursued it there assiduously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 6090-, March 13 at 0044, ANGUILLA is still AWOL, 
audiblizing Brazuguese weak signal slightly on the lo side and hetting an even 
weaker signal; it`s R. Bandeirantes, as // 9645v, also off-frequency causing a 
different-pitch het. 

The only other station scheduled on 6090 at this time is CNR2 in Geermu, China, 
circa grayline which also appears on 4800 with CNR1. We can safely disregard 
long-gone R. Esperanza, Temuco, Chile, despite retention on Aoki list (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11745  11815, March 13 at 0131, let`s get the distorted crackling 
modulation spike peaks log out of the way early tonight, tho lacking any 
further out such as 11710. // 11780.1 fundamental source of RNA/RNB (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9860, March 13 at 0111, R. Cairo, overmodulated and horribly 
distorted Spanish (I think), good signal level. 

12035, March 13 at 0111, R. Cairo with open carrier/dead air instead of 
Spanish, very good signal, tho, and with a humwhine.

9965, March 13 at 0112, R. Cairo, good signal, undermodulated Arabic not 
distorted, and humwhine at same pitch as 12035: both Abis.

12080, March 13 at 0117, R. Cairo, fair signal, suptorted music modulation 
matchable to 9860 Spanish service: both Abis too per HFCC (hunting thru HFCC, I 
see that the other size ABZ, Abu Zabaal, is not scheduled anywhere between 0045 
and 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, March 13 at 0114, no signal from Voice of Greece, which is the 
case more often than not, but now logged to definitize it. Non-logs of stations 
missing from where they are supposed to be are at least as significant as the 
contrary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 6100, March 13 at 0123, Qur`an on poor but clear signal, from one 
cantor, then another. Q at this hourpart is mandatory from IRIB (except for 
multi-hour services already in progress), and sure enough that`s this: Urdu at 
0120-0220, 500 kW, 94 degrees from Kamalabad. 0126 YL announcement in S Asian 
language, mentions habari; then OM low key talking; 0129 music; 0130 three 
rising chimes, presumed ID and news theme, but not the one I was expecting 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** NORTH AMERICA. 6876.05-AM, approx., March 13 0056, finding nothing in the 
6.9s, but here is a fair musical signal on the typical Crystal Ship frequency, 
slightly on the hi side. I discovered this all by myself; no tipoff received 
from John Poet tonight. Soon a Beatles tune; 0102 ``You are tuned to the TCS 
shortwave relay network`` last couple words echoing, then synthetic YL voice 
with address tcsshortw...@gmail.com and then a sea chanty(?); 0108 ``You`re 
riding The Crystal Ship Bubblegum Express on the TCS shortwave relay network``, 
``Mr Tambourine Man``, more music, but at 0119 check it`s off (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, March 13 at 0035, JBA carrier, presumed R. Chaski; 
from 0102 I am monitoring intently as there now seem to be two carriers 
slightly apart beating with BFO. Projected Chaski cutoff 6 nights since last 
check should be circa 0105:41 but cannot detect any difference then or for two 
more minutes, but still beating, so maybe both Chaski and BBC/UAE are still on, 
or it`s just propagational wavering from UAE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA [non]. 11905, March 13 at 0115, no mistimesignal to log from SLBC, 
as the Trincomalee transmitter must be missing; and still not heard at 0133. 
Not a propagation problem, as AIR Urdu service is in at usual fair level with 
flutter on 11620. However, I do get a JBA carrier on 11905: CNR6 Amoy service, 
100 kW from Beijing site is also listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110, March 13 at 0107, WBCQ is off, but I know it was on with 
something when I previously tuned across before 0100. Maybe it was an `Allan 
Weiner Worldwide` repeat despite nothing on the 5110 program schedule for 
weekdays. 

By now, 0108 UT, much stronger WBCQ 7490 is Brother Scare, timeshifted to 01-03 
except UT Mondays, and with an extra hour until 04 on UT Sundays, says the sked 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, March 12 at 2048, WTWW-1 is still open carrier/dead air. And 
still March 13 at 0109, 0133 chex; and back on night frequency 5830, March 13 
at 0212, 0304, 0337, 0418 still dead. Closing in on at least 24 hours of dead 
air, including two frequency changes. Maybe they are automatic, or accomplished 
by remote control

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 11-12, 2015

2015-03-12 Thread Glenn Hauser via Hard-Core-DX
** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon still missing for a third day, checked as follows 
with NO signals: March 11: 2125 UT 11775; March 12: 0516 UT 6090; 1345 UT 11775 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See USA KVOH

** BANGLADESH. 15505, March 12 at 1359, BB IS, very poor with flutter, 
mistimesignal ending at 1359:15.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11675, 11710, 11745, 11815, 11850, March 12 at 0523, panoply of 
cracking spurs from 11780.1v RNA/RNB: the outer ones are just a trace, while 
the inner ones are awful (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9200, March 12 at 1238, CNR1 jammer, poor-fair with flutter; still 
there at 1317 with target CCI, and // 9350.

15940, March 12 at 1357, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter

16530, March 12 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter; no 17s, 14s

16100, March 12 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CHINA [non]. 7220, March 12 at 0521, CCI clash as always during this hour 
since B-14 started: ROMANIA in Romanian, and the other must be CRI English via 
ALBANIA; what were they thinking? Yes, they are aiming near-opposite direxions, 
but two European sources that close are bound to interfere with each other even 
inside respective targets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9535, March 12 at 0515, RHC Spanish is still running here and on // 
stronger 9710. Outdated sked prior to DST shows 9535 was supposed to finish at 
0500, 9710 at 0600.

RHC English is on all 5 overkill frequencies at 0516 March 12: 5040, 6000, 
6060, 6100, 6165.

11930 is again on with unlisted RHC colliding with Martí: see separate log 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7405, March 12 at 0519, wall-of-noise jamming against Radio 
Martí (unlike 23 hours earlier when clear of jamming).

5980, March 12 at 1254, R. Martí fair with no jamming, as the DentroCuban 
Jamming Command is apparently still out of synch.

11930, March 12 at 1342, RHC Spanish is again colliding with R. Martí, on 
unlisted frequency, playing games? Normally these two avoid each other and 
leave the jamming to noise transmitters. It`s an echo apart from 11950 RHC, 
while 11860  11760 are also on with their own QRM problems. At 1344 some pulse 
jamming is briefly added to 11930. By 1418 next check, all Cubans gone, but RM 
is remarkably weak, while 13820 is heavily jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 13710, March 12 at 1346, AIR GOS good with flutter, ``Indian 
Melodies`` from the movie ``Hiway``, much stronger than // 9690 and 11620. But 
overcome at 1400 by CRI English on 13710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 3345-, March 12 at 1241, very poor talk, 1252 losing but still 
detectable by 1300. No doubt it`s RRI Ternate, as heard the day before, much 
better by Ron Howard and Walt Salmaniw on the west coasts, measured 3344.85 or 
3344.864. They were also getting 3325- RRI Palangkaraya, but I can`t detect 
even a carrier from that today. Maybe off again? March 11 they both closed 
around 1502-1503* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALAYSIA [and non]. 11665, March 12 at 1419, poor signals, music and talk 
mixed, so CRI English via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, ruining what little signal we 
can get from RTM Wai FM.

9835, March 12 at 1419, different music than on 11665, no CCI, but ACI from 
usual 9830 RTTY, very poor from RTM Sarawak FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** RWANDA. 15700, March 12 at 0527, VG signal, WM in strangely accented 
Arabish, maybe because it`s Adventish, this hour via doomed Kigali site; tho 
beamed 30 degrees, it`s the SSOB by far, between some deep fades; 0529 pop 
music, 0531 segué to more from AWR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 15550, March 12 at 0528, tone jamming against nothing; since on 
1 we hear Arabic YL with R. Tamazuj IDs in passing, poor. So they`ve 
outsmarted the jammers again. The 04-06 ``PNW FPU`` broadcast via MADAGASCAR is 
still listed on 15550 by HFCC, Aoki  EiBi. Usage may vary from day to day. R. 
Dabanga follows at 0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1764 monitoring: confirmed first airing UT Thu March 
12 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair; and 1230 March 12 also on WRMI 9955, good 
signal, no jamming. Next:

Re: [DX] Kidekone

2015-03-12 Thread Juha Solasaari
Kidekuulokkeet taitavat olla Suomessa kiven alla. Joku ulkomainen 
verkkokauppa ehkä pystyisi toimittamaan:

http://www.crystalradio.net/suppliers.shtml

Pienoispietsokaiuttimesta voisi rakentaa kuulokkeen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVapqz4yBCY
Pienikokoisen pietsokaiuttimen voi hankkia hyvinvarustetusta 
suomalaisestakin elektroniikkaliikkeestä. En tiedä, mikä tällaisen 
herkkyys tulisi olemaan alkuperäiseen kidekuulokkeeseen verrattuna. En 
ole kokeillut.


Kiteenä eli ilmaisindiodina voi käyttää mitä tahansa germaniumdiodia 
(esim. AA112, AA119, AA144, OA85, 1N34, 1N60, jne.).

Onkohan joku kokeillut Schottky-diodeja (1N6263 tai 1SS97)?

Takaisinkytketyllä 1-transistorisella kuuluukin sitten jo paljon 
enemmän, mutta se on oma lukunsa.

Mistä kidekuulokkeita ja kiteitä nykyisin saa?
Täytyy sanoa, että nuo brittien kidekoneet ovat upeita!
Olen niitä aiemminkin ihaillut tuosta IM:n linkittämästä osoitteesta.

Ensimmäinen kidekone - jota olen näpelöinyt - taisi olla 1964.
Vanhin veli oli sen jostain saanut ja kone oli hauskasti raketin
muotoinen, muovia.
Ferriitti asemien valintaan pilkisti piikkinä raketin kärjestä, tuo oli
teollinen tuote.
Hieman myöhemmin veli rakensi ekan 1-transistorisen, ja sillä mm.
läheinen YLE Joensuu kuului paljon paremmin. =)

Eilen Julkisessa sanassa (Ylen Radio 1) oli dosentti Pentti Kemppaisen 
haastattelu mainosradioista ja radiotoiminnasta yleensä.

Löytyy YLE AREENAsta, on heti tarjolla aukeaman oikeassa yläreunassa. 
Haastattelu on hyvä ja ammattimies puhelee jouhevasti.

Kirjan kimppuun pääsen pikapuoliin, olin kirjan ensimmäinen varaaja. Pentti 
Kemppainen varmaankin on tuttu nimi useimmille DX-kuuntelijoille.

Re: [DX] [Uusi artikkeli] Kouvolan Radiomuseo

2015-03-12 Thread Juha Solasaari

Kiitos linkistä.
Jos kidekoneen toimintaperiaate ei ollut tuttu, niin selvisikö se 
tuostakaan ohjelmasta... Sellainen pieni käytännön seikka, että kidekone 
tarvitsee antennin ja maajohdon - paitsi tietysti aivan lähikentässä - 
ei tullut mitenkään esille. Laite ei siis ollut kovinkaan kannettava 
kuuntelutilanteessa. Ei myöskään selitetty, miksi se nykyisin ei toimi.
Mielenkiintoinen pintaraapaisu kuitenkin, ohjelmassa suunnilleen 
kohdassa 4:22 - 12:27.


Suorastaan alkoi taas kidekoneen rakentaminen houkuttaa. Kyllähän sillä 
yöaikaan pitäisi jotain kuulua (MW/LW), jos paikallinen häiriötilanne 
antaa myöten.
