Hi Dave, Im copying phone station again on 1830.0 KHz and tonight the audio is good copy (not distorted tonight). Station advertisements are Canadian and they did say they are on 610. Time once again
Hi Dave and gang, Here is a link to a youtube video from last nights reception of the 610 KHz AM broadcast station in Canada that was causing RFI on 1.830 KHz. https://youtu.be/SeL4TcnkWN8 I have now
Hi Dave, I too was shooting blind when I called CKTB this morning. I was able to leave Bonnie Heslop a Voice mail message. Bonnie is the News Director and Announcer at that station and she is the per
Hi Roy, Numerous stations in Canada and the US are encountering the same RFI (originating from the same station near Niagara Falls). In recent years we have encountered similar RFI on 160 meters from
Turned radio on this morning at 0514 UTC even though we were having very bad lightning storms all around and was blessed with some of the strongest signals I have ever heard on 160 meters out of the
As a follow up, the amazing conditions I experienced yesterday morning (March 29th) did not repeat today (March 30th). I just uploaded a recording on youtube showing the fantastic signal from G3XHZ o
Hi Steve, Interesting that you mentioned path distortion. I did not notice path distortion (what I was calling flutter) on the European signals I was copying this morning, but I did notice it on you
Hi Roger, I believe your having a big 40 dB S/N report from NH on the RBN is not as telling as what the RBN did not show for you. If you look at the last 100 RBN spots of you last night which was fro
Hi Roger, I just checked with Brad (W1NT), and he said he currently has 3 RBN receivers running, and it looks like all 3 spotted you this morning. All 3 of his receivers are located on the same prope
Hi Mikek, Speed of Light = Frequency x Wavelength Therefore: Speed of Light/Frequency = Wavelength Speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s (I normally just use 300,000,000 m/s) Therefore: (300,000,000m/s)
Hi Rick and gang, The biggest problem with the band in the summer in the Midwest USA is high QRN level from lightning. As an example during the Stew Perry contest this past weekend our noise floor du
Hi Fred, Do you have a police radio scanner that covers the aviation band? If so it makes for a great 136 MHz AM receiver that can be very helpful in narrowing in on the faulty pole especially when a
Hi Tony, Was the Binocular Core in an enclosure or out in the open? I could see ice being the cause of a shattered Binocular Core (water filling the holes and then turning to ice). Just a wild guess.
Hi Dave, I totally agree with your 160 meters condition report for CQWW this past weekend. I operated slightly less than 2 hours since conditions were so poor, and signals out of Europe were indeed v
Im hearing a very strong pulsating signal that sounds like it might be some kind of digital communications and its bearing is approximately 73 degrees from my QTH near Indianapolis and wonder if othe
Hi Dave, Thanks and glad others are hearing it too. I just looked at it on an SDR receiver and it has a bandwidth of 400 Hz, and it's using two different frequencies spaced 200 Hz apart. Very Strong
Hi Topband Gang, Thanks to everyone that reported reception of the signal. It stopped at 7:54am EDT. Based on preliminary data which probably did not have enough resolution it looked like it was orig
Hi Dave, And here in the midwest (Indiana) it was really dead early this morning an hour or two before EU sunrise. I spotted DL5AXX who was peaking 6 dB above my noise floor at most at 0623 UTC, and
Hi Lee, Csaba said his transformer was " n1=3T/n2=12T tapped @6T ". This sure sounds like a transformer with two separate windings (3 Turns on the Primary, and 12 Turns on the Secondary and then it a
