[HCDX] Re Huge Aurora
Whilst this is not strictly broadcast information, I think the following is interesting. The aurora caused widespread blackout up here at 52N, the ham dx cluster was going mad with spots from all over Europe, West Eu working East Eu and even Russia on 2m. I only operate up as far as 6m but even on my indoor dipole I was able to hear Au signals from Scotland and Poland (none worked though). This was around 2330-0030z. Now for the odd part, At the same time as the Au event on VHF, I found very enhanced conditions on 80m (3,5MHz). 80 was wide open to Asia and South America, in fact in over 20 years of operating on HF I have never heard such strong signals from Brazil on that band. I worked a Brazilian who was peaking to 10dB over 9 here on my vertical. I was only using 50w (he was running 700w and a folded dipole) at the time. 40m also showed enhancement, but to a lesser degree. Signals to North America, however, were very poor and much weaker than usual (as I would have expected). Strange phenomena to be heard together. Not sure what caused the enhancement to South America, I can only guess that it was something similar to greyline propagation, and that the edge of the area of increased absorption somehow channelled the signals through with very little absorption/attenuation. 73 Sean, G4UCJ Message: 7 Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 17:22:23 +1200 From: Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [HCDX] Huge Aurora - Almost no MW skywave signals To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi Bogdan, Seems as though the aurora has been stirring things up in the Southern Hemisphere too. Yesterday, shortwave propagation above 7 MHz was hopeless with lots of fluttery signals. During last evening Fri 30 May, there was an E Skip opening between Wellington, NZ and New South Wales, Aust. There were strong signals, strong enough for a picture to form behind the local stations on Ch1 (45.25mHz) and ch 2 (55.25mHz). This afternoon sat 31 May, I checked on the Shortwave bands and found strong signals up to 21MHz, There was also a lone ham on 10 metres. Last night around midnight the whole of the Southern Horizon was a reddy colour which I think was an Aurora. Not having seen the Aurora Australis before, what I saw could have been street lights.

[HCDX] Re CRI using Brazil.
Well according to the HFCC, for what it's worth, CRI do indeed use Brazil as a relay: CRI 0100 0200 1234567 14,16 9665 250 BRA B 300303 261003 D RTC CRI 0300 0400 1234567 10-12 9665 250 BRA B 300303 261003 D RTC As you can see this information is supposed to be 'in date' and supposedly correct. Getting detailed information from CRI regarding sites and relays is not that easy. According to HFCC, CRI uses transmitting facilities in the following countries: China, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Spain (1 transmission from 0200-0400 on 9690), France (ISS), French Guiana, Mali and Russia. I hope this clears up where the confusion is coming from. 73 Sean Regards, Sean D.

'73 RAO Robin aka [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry for the apparent problem I have caused in asking this question. The basis of my question is from a confusing comment on page 481 of the 2003 WRTH and I quote: in reference to China Radio International, Relayed via: CRI Exchanges transmitting facilities with R. Canada Int, R. France Int, R. Exterior de Espana and V.O.Russia, also relay facilities in Brazil, Cuba and Mali. I can only assume the RFI facilities means France and/or French Guiana. Cuba, OK there are a good number of transmissions from there to the US. Mali is to Asia. So that leaves the Brazil relay. Maybe I should direct a query to CRI themselves and see if this is a WRTH typo or if they really have something down there.

[HCDX] ChromaSound
An interesting and useful piece of software if you own a PC with a soundcard is ChromaSound. This uses the power of the pc as an external audio dsp filter for your receiver. The filters are fully customisable and you can save your own filters. It offers AGC and auto notch features. I use this program when listening to the Grundig Satelit that is next to this pc, and it really does help with the majority of signals (especially on SSB and CW as the filters in the satelit are quite wide-the ChromaSound ones go down to 100Hz with -60dB skirts. There is one drawback, however, the software takes a finite time to process the audio data which leads to a time delay of about 1-200mS. This is fine on a stable SSB or broadcast signal, but if you are trying to tune in a CW signal it is really difficult. The only answer seems to be to turn off the filter (which you can do from the software), tune in the CW and then switch it on. trouble is that you might not be able to hear the signal without the filter! You can download a demo copy of the software from the Silicon Pixels website. Just thought I'd pass that on as I think it's a great way to use the soundcard for something other than decoding and transmitting data modes :) 73 Sean, G4UCJ RECEIVER: ICOM IC756; GRUNDIG SATELLIT 600, 3000 ANTENNA: Low Band vertical with 32 x 10m ground radials Indoor dipoles for 14-30MHz and 50MHz/Band I TV 1.3m diameter MW loop + FET Preamp. ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2003 is out!

[HCDX] MW Loop improvements
Hi all, some of you are building my Hula Loop MW antenna and I thought I would share an improvement I have made. The improvement is to the design of the FET preamplifier. Initially the design had a high/low gain switch but I found this to be limited in use so I looked for a way to vary the gain rather than to have it switched. My initial design incorporated a variable resistance in the supply line which worked well, but even though the preamp only draws just over 8mA it still generated a fair amount of heat. After 2 years of use I found that this heat dissipation in the variable resistor had caused it to become very sticky and stiff to turn (the usual methods of cleaning failed to restore proper operation). After many experiments, I have found that removing the high/low switch and putting a 10k variable resistor in parallel with the 330 ohm resistor and connecting the wiper to the common point of the switch gives excellent gain control (i.e. a signal can be increased from zero on the meter up to s9.). The other advantage is there is very little heat dissipation through this resistor. Sorry for the long winded explanation. I will update the circuit diagram shortly to reflect the changes. 73 Sean, G4UCJ RECEIVER: ICOM IC756; GRUNDIG SATELLIT 600, 3000 ANTENNA: Low Band vertical with 32 x 10m ground radials Indoor dipoles for 14-30MHz and 50MHz/Band I TV 1.3m diameter MW loop + FET Preamp. ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2003 will be out soon.

[HCDX] KIMF - does it exist yet?
Does anyone know the current operational status of KIMF in New Mexico? I have found a sked (well a tentative one) but contact details are lacking. I have an email address for, I think, the owner/operator but it went unanswered (interestingly it didn't bounce). The last report I read was for a site visit in August and nothing was to be found, not a mast or anything. So is KIMF going to be on the air soon? thanks for your help!! 73 Sean - Mail to Jayne : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail to Sean : [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ---[Start Commercial]- This place is for rent.
