Sounds like a good idea... Any recommendations on what/when to

I'll post a reception report.

I'll leave it up to you. Tonight or tomorrow.


Tomorrow night would be good. We can pick a time for me to start.
Either 2
or 3 UTC. What ever is best for you. What I'll do is take the first 30
minutes of the hour and go through either the 31,41 or 49 meter bands.
I'll
post a reception log by half way through the hour. This way you'll have
time to check out my report and compare how your receiving them before
the
one hour time slot is more then half way over and the show is off the
air.

Your pick on either 2 or 3 UTC. Your pick on either 31, 41 or 49 meter
band.

Let's do 2 UTC and 31 meter band.

We can always check the others later on.

Or we could select various targets, and do them in real time together.

Either way, it might be interesting.

Real time is fine....

We can do a few now....

9330 BCQ In at s-15+ Sounds like someone talking about doomsday asteroid.

S9 + 20

9370 WTJC s-8 and getting splashed from 9375

S9 + 10

9375 Greece coming in at s-8 but fades out at times.... getter a heterodyne
from WTJC

S9, no het.

9410 BBC peaks at s-10 .. good signal mimimal noise and fade...

S9 + 10

9420 Greece again... S-9 but modulation is diminished

S9 + 20

9435 Slovakia (I think) s-9, little noise, great modulation....

No one here on 9435, but 9440 is S9 + a bit.

9460 Turkey... gets as high as s-20 Awesome signal

S9 + 20

9505 getting crushed by 9510 so I need to listen in ssb

S9 + 20, fine in AM

9510.... Sounds like BBC in a slavic langiage.... heterodyne here from
9505... I think I also here somthing else going on here...

S9 + 10, but a bit of splatter from 9505, would be easily rectified on the R8B,
but I'm using the R8.

9520 not sure what this is... in a slavic langiage.. news program... peaks
at s-7 and has some fade out... noise floor pops up at times... possible VOA

S9 here.

Here is one more.... This is one that I'm not pulling in too good

9960 VOR from, I think... Armenia ??? Peaks at only s-6. Serious noise
floor popping up. Even the kiwa mod sync looses this one at times.

No one on 9660... But indeed there is someone on 9665... with utility
interference.

That I think is part of the problem..

I believe I've noted two frequencies where you think you are hearing something,
but they are removed by 5 kHz.

Might be how you have your passband set.

Yes... 9965, not 9660 I typed it incorrectly. You did also... (9660)

Still... This signal is weak....Currently music.... I don't hear any
utility, though.

Also.. I can cut out any of the hets I mentioned above with the noth filter.

Let me know if you come on any difficult signals and I'll give 'em a whirl
on my end. I'll be up for another hour tonight.

There are no difficult signals. There is only poor propagation.

9965 is most likely Voice of Armenia.

Done with R-75 and 200ft "FRANKENSTEIN"

7190; In am mode there is moderate noise and fade out. There is also a
serious heterodyne or some kind of IF causing a groan/whistle on the usb.
Signal from a low of s-3 to a high of s-8 in am. LSB is nice and clear.
Peak modulation brings it up to a max of s-6 in LSB. It is still a bit
noisy but some nr helps enough to make it practical to listen to in lsb.

7225: Solid in am mode and a fair bit cleaner then the 7190 signal. In am a
low of s-6 to a height of s-8. Good in both lsb and usb. In ssb at peak
modulation it is also a max of s-6.

I tried my PL-550 and my KA-1102 on both signals using the Tecsun external
reel antenna and found that neither radio is doing a good job of dealing
with it. Both are nothing but LOTS of noise on 7190. On 7225, you can hear
it on both radios, but it is noisy as all get out. Usually, I find that my
portables can hear most of what my R-75 can hear, but it this case, they
cant.

Clearly, 7190 has problems making it here clearly for one reason or another
compared to 7225 that is doing well on the R-75. Despite that though, in
ssb on the R-75, even though 7190 is more noisy, both come in at a max of
s-6 when they are in ssb.

Before you make that assumption about 7190 you should consider making a
dipole cut for 7190.

It would be fun if those on the group who are interested, could do some
real time DX'ing together by using a chat room to share what we're
hearing. Have you ever done this?

I found that 7190 was also poor on my portables compared to 7225.
Practically speaking, 7190 was not as effective to my location at that time.
It wasn't the antennas, it wasn't the radio. Keep in mind that I have a
preselector between my R-75 and both my antennas and my PL-500 has a built
in antenna tuner.
