Dxers Unlimited
Dxers Unlimited's weekend edition for 11-12 September 2007
By Arnie Coro
radio amateur CO2KK
Hi amigos short wave listeners and radioaficionados around the world...
nice to have you listening to our midweek edition of Dxers Unlimited,
coming to you from Havana. I am Arnie Coro, radio amateur CO2KK your
friend here in Cuba, now ready to provide you with about 17 minutes of
on the air and on the web time devoted to our wonderful and fascinating
hobby : RADIO !!! Here is item one: Equinoctial propagation conditions
now in full swing and already many radio amateur are enjoying daytime
DX on the 20, 17 and 15 meters bands.. even when solar flux is hovering
at very low levels just at minimum, minumum solar flux and zero sunspots
.. At the same time , and due to the very low solar activity , the 160
and 80 meter radio amateur bands are providing excellent DX during local
nights amigos despite the still high summertime static levels !!!
So, seems like at this particular moment we are able to enjoy the best
of both worlds, daytime DX on the HF range, and nightime DX on 160 and
80 meters. My good friend AKI, CO2 Charlie India, told me Saturday
morning during a QSO we had on the local two meter band repeater that he
had worked several Japanese stations on 80 meters CW at sunrise local
time here in Havana... And this contacts are possible due to rather low
ionospheric absorption and the enhancement provided by the so called
gray line or terminator line propagation, that is the line that
separates DAY from NIGHT on planet Earth,actually it is not exactly a
thin line at all, it's like a band extending both sides of the actual
terminator what makes propagation possible with very low attenuation
between locations that are at sunrise and sunset at the two ends !!!
Item three: I recently went to Matanzas province.. Matanzas is located
to the East of Havana and is the province where the world famous
Varadero Beach at the Hicacos Peninsula receives hundreds of thousands
of tourists from all over the world.
The Varadero Amateur Radio Club is often visited by tourists that are
also ham radio operators and want to know their Cuban colleagues...
Matanzas has several 2 meter band repeaters installed , but two of them
are particularly useful when one is traveling by car , as they can be
easily reached using a low power hand held FM transceiver. Those amateur
2 meter band FM repeaters are also particularly helpful during the
hurricane season, as they provide very effective communications between
hand held, mobiles and fixed stations .
I had the opportunity of talking to many Matanzas radio amateurs during
my one day trip to their beautiful province, and as always enjoyed one
of the more than 81 ways you and I can have a good time on the radio...
mobile ham communications !!!
Item four today will be our antenna topics section, and later item five
will answer listeners questions...at the end of the show, as always, our
exclusive and not copyrighted HF plus low band VHF propagation update
and forecast will bring the program to its end... Stay tuned, I am Arnie
Coro in Havana, more of Dxers Unlimited's midweek edition follows in a
few seconds..
......
Si amigos, this is the midweek edition of Dxers Unlimited coming to you
from Havana... Now here is our antenna topics section... today I'll tell
you about how you can make yourself a compact antenna that will allow
you to operate an amateur radio station or to monitor Dx on the lower
frequency ham bands, the ones that are now much more significant as
solar cycle 23 comes to an end right at this very moment... My new
version of the KK-COMP antenna uses a very well engineered combination
of inductive and capacite loading, so its efficiency is certainly above
the average compact antenna for the lower frequencies.
Another neat trick that I used when designing these antennas is to make
the diameter of the loading coils as large as practical, so that they
will also contribute to radiation and not only do their job as inductive
loading to help shorten the antenna.
The experimental version of the KK-COMP antenna benefitted from a very
nice experiment, because I made it for the 10 meter band... Doing that
in order to be able to test the scale model of the antenna easily. The
use of actual, physical scale sized antenna models is in my opinion a
reliable method, that makes a nice complement to the use of antenna
modelling software.
A full size 10 meter band dipole antenna requires about 5 meters of
wire, 2.5 meters for each leg of the dipole... That's for those of you
still thinking using feet and inches, is about 16 feet overall length ,
or 8 feet each side of the center insulator. I decided to reduce the
size of the 10 meter band antenna by 50 percent, in other words to make
it just 2.5 meters or about 8 feet long, while at the same time
retaining a high radiation efficiency.
How could I tell if the compact version of the antenna was really
efficient or not ?
Well, very easily , by using a test instrument known as a field
intensity meter , and a full size antenna used as a reference.
The procedure used is very simple, you set up the full size antenna up
and in the clear, feed it with 10 Watts of 28.5 megaHertz radio
frequency energy and measure the field intensity at a certain distance,
typically no less than 10 wavelengths away from the antenna.. and that's
about a city block away in this case.
Then you replace the reference full size dipole, install it at exactly
the same height , and proceed to test your experimental compact
antenna, measuring the field intensity and writing down the resultant
figure.
The a little mathematics will tell you if your compact antenna is doing
its job... You can be sure that the compact antenna will never be as
efficient as the full size one, but the fact is that my design provides
an efficiency that is really outstanding when one considers that the
compact KK DASH COMP antenna is half the size of the 10 meter dipole...
After the measurements were finished I proceeded to operate my 10 meter
rig using the KK DASH COMP, and reports coming from radio amateurs in
eleven different countries, from Canada to Argentina, and from Spain to
South Africa confirmed that the very small antenna is working very well..
The KK DASH COMP uses a combination of two loading coils and two spiral
wound capacity hats .The loading coils are located at the center of each
wire element, and the spiral wound capacity hat are placed at the ends.
The use of a combination of inductive and capacitive loading is what
makes the antenna very efficient, because the presence of the circular
spiral wound capacity hats at the ends of the elements makes possible to
reduce the number of turns of each loading coil, and that in turn
reduces the losses introduced by the coils.
I must add that the small sized KK-DASH COMP antenna with its two end
loading spirals is a very nice looking signal grabber, as the 30
centimeter diameter spirals give it a very distinctive look indeed...
UPSCALING the design results to the 40 meter band gave me a 7 megaHertz
antenna that is the size of a standard 20 meter band dipole, and that
according to my measurements is just -2 dB down from the full size
radiator... And that minus 2 dB difference is easily compensated by
increasing the transmitter power output just a bit. For the many radio
amateurs around the world that suffer from lack of real estate to be
able to install full size lower bands antennas, the KK DASH COMP is a
practical , low cost , solution that you can homebrew during a single
weekend... If you found this information useful and want to know more
about my KK DASH COMP compact inductive and capacitive loaded antenna,
just send me an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or an AIR MAIL postcard to Arnie
Coro, Radio Havana Cuba,Havana, Cuba.
...........
Reaching you via short waver, and also available on the world wide web
and via the Hispasat I D satellite,transponder 79 vertical polarization,
in English from 05 to 07 UTC, this is Radio Havana Cuba, the name of
the show is Dxers Unlimited, and this is our modest twice weekly
contribution to the development of the radio hobby amigos !!!
Here is now ASK ARNIE, THE most popular section of the program ,.
according to what your letters and e-mail messages tell me evey week..
Question one today: Came from several listeners located in Australia,
New Zealand, Japan, the USA and Nigeria... they all want to me to
provide an answer to their question .
They want to know if it will be worthwhile to buy a radio receiver that
is not operating , in other words a broken down radio... Each of those
that wrote quotes a particular model of radio, and as expected, the
price asked for the radios was quite reasonable.. and two of them just
had to pick up the broken radios given away by friends. Well amigos,
first things first...
When buying or picking up for free a radio receiver that is not
operating to its full factory parameters you are certainly running a
risk...but if the price is low enough, or the radio is just given
away to you I can assure you that it will be a win-win deal,because ,
and now listen carefully to this, in the extreme case that the receiver
may not be repaired, you will end up with lots of useful electronic
components that can be effectively recycled and used for many radio
hobby related experiments.
The other side of the coin will show you that many radio receivers ,
especially those built before 1970, can be rather easily repaired and
restored back to like new or even better than when new conditions..
For example, so called boat anchors, or old vacuum tube communications
type receivers,often come back to life by just changing a few
electrolytic capacitors,( something that is absolutely essential to do )
then replacing paper bypass capacitors and checking the vacuum tubes
for emission and transconductance.
First generation solid state communications receivers are also a lot
easier to repair than the most modern microprocessor controlled radios.
My advise is that you stay away from the more modern receivers , because
they are very difficult to repair, and in many cases they can not be put
back to work because of the way they were built !!!
Follow your friend's Arnie Coro advice and look around at hamfests and
flea markets, garage sales or even ask friends if they happen to have an
old radio somewhere in the attic or garage... You will be pleasently
surprised when that old radio comes back to life giving you many hours
of listening enjoyment... AND, if you don't have too much space to keep
them, then the repaired radio can be passed along to a newcomer to the
hobby at cost, or perhaps for free !!!
....
QSL,QSL on the air to the many Radio Havana Cuba listeners that have
sent so many nice signal reports recently... Our Chief Engineer at the
Bauta transmitting station is very happy with the reports I have
forwarded to him and his crew...
And now as always at the end of the show, our exclusive and not
copyrighted HF propagation update and forecast.. the daily optical
sunspot count is now ZERO , and the effective sunspot number or SSN is
now only 4 . The planetary A index on Friday was 2 , and it seems like
it will be staying at very low levels.
Microwave solar flux will be moving slowly up to values around 65 to 70
units, Again amigos we are now reaching the autoum equinox, here in
the northern hemisphere. So,its time to be active on the radio amigos,
you can always return to the workshop and play with your equipment when
HF propagation conditions take a turn for the worse later in the year !!!
Don't forget to send your comments about today's program, radio hobby
related questions and QSL requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] of VIA AIR MAIL to
Arnie Coro, Radio Havana Cuba, Havana, Cuba... hope to have listening to
our mid week edition of Dxers Unlimited next Tuesday and Wednesday UTC
days...

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. Sept 13 at 1325 good signal with Qur`an on 15680, then
lecture in non-Arabic; 1330 audio cut off in mid-word, but carrier on until
almost 1335. Per Aoki this is R. Free Afghanistan, via Sri Lanka, scheduled in
Pashto until 1330. So the USG is promoting Islam to the exclusion of other
religions? Afghanistan is as we know, destined to become a Korean-Christian
country (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALBANIA [and non]. R. Tirana, 13750, with usual deep fades into the TVI, but
readable at peaks in between, Sept 13 at 1315. Now has slight QRM from Cuba`s
new 13760, but more QRM from something on 13745, which is supposedly Rwanda,
active only on Fri and Sat until 1315, but this was Thursday. Tirana did not go
off until 1331 after another program had started (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. One biweek later, just in case, checked again the scheduled
other time for V. of Biafra International, Wed 1915-1945 on WHRA 13710 --- no,
from 1925 to 1932, just the usual WHR gospel fill music and ID. Is it still on
the imaginary schedule? Yes, on WHR website, by searching on VOBI in specific
program criteria, there it is, and also still showing wrong frequency for the
non-imaginary Friday broadcast at 20-21 on WHRI, really 15665, not 17650 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Ah, another day, another transmission problem. Sept 10 at 1426, I
found the very strong RHC transmitter on 13680 also putting out spurious audio,
but this time without great distortion or additional noises. First noticed on
13760.0, RHC Spanish audio but under-modulated, and other audio underneath, CRI
English, same as relay on 13740. Then same found, but much weaker, on 13720.0.
No other such spurs found below 13680 or above 13760. These do not follow the
usual leapfrog pattern, so who knows how they come about. Heard on both the
FRG-7 with external antenna and the YB-400 with internal antenna.
Rechecked at 2125 the situation becomes clearer, as undermodulated RHC Spanish
// 9550 is still, or more likely again, on 13760, but only on 13760, no 13680
or any other frequency on the band. So that means 13760 is a new deliberate
frequency, and 13720 heard earlier was a leapfrog mixing product over 13740 CRI
relay. During the hours RHC is using it, the main other occupant of 13760 is
Voice of Korea: Commies vs Commies!
Another check, Sept 11 at 1351: 13760 with RHC as before, and also on weaker
13720, a leapfrog over 13740 CRI relay which is only in open-carrier warmup at
this time, so nothing but RHC audio on 13720. This time with another receiver I
compared audio on 13680, and there was an echo between them, proving that 13760
and 13680 are at two different sites.
Another2 check of RHC`s new 13760, Sept 12 at 1402: it and the mixing product
on 13720 were audible again during frequency announcement, to which 13760 has
indeed been added, but 9600 has not been removed, despite our pointing out that
it goes off reliably over an hour earlier, at 1300. Also plugged upcoming Mesa
Redonda this date at 2230 on 9820 and 6000 about --- guess what? ``Los 5
H?roes``!! Now what would Cuba do if it caught 5 Americans, especially gusanos,
spying inside Cuba? Don`t ask! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. R. Amanecer Internacional was on late again Sept 13, on
6025, noted at 0620 with lite gospel music, 0622 talk in Spanish about sunlight
taking 8 minutes to get here, and then incidence of skin cancer: Adventist
obsession with health matters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. Noticed DW in // on 17800 and much weaker 17770, Sept 13 at
1335, but a slight reverb between them due to different sites. Per Aoki this is
Hausa, via Rwanda and Portugal, respectively:
17770 DEUTSCHE WELLE 1300-1357 1234567 Hausa 500 150 Sines POR
17800 DEUTSCHE WELLE 1300-1400 1234567 Hausa 250 310 Kigali RRW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Traces of XEYU again after missing for a week or two, Sept 13 at
1340, very weak carrier and traces of audio on 9599.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. VOR`s service to Asia in English is again becoming audible here way
off the back in the 1400 UT hour, best on 15605, and also // 15660. Per HFCC,
both are Moscow site; 15605 is 500 kW at 115 degrees, while 15660 is 250 kW at
100 degrees.
Monday Sept 10 until 1458 we were enjoying a program of old Russian 78 rpm
records (or 80?), but if there was an outro before the QSY announcement, we
didn`t catch it. So what show was it? Going to the website http://www.ruvr.ru
and clicking on English in the drop-down, we then find Guide to Programs
http://ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&e=122&p=
-- which gives a list of programs, but no times or frequencies!
Counter-intuitively, you have to go to Frequencies,
http://ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&e=152&p=
eventually to reach further linx for the programming during each hour to each
target area, clicking on Full Schedule (1400 and others no doubt duplicated,
also to Eu and ME in this case).
So we get to Asia, Monday, and what do we find? The column of times does not
line up with the column of program titles. As we go down the page, they are
increasingly misaligned. Re-sizing or switching from Firefox to IE does not
help either; thus it must be built into their new php webpage. Geez! Starting
at the bottom and trying to follow which title goes with which semi-hour
segment somewhat higher, we think this must have been: ``Our Homeland``. But is
that a musical show? Back to Guide to Programs:
``- Focuses on the old, new and latest history of Russia, its prominent and
ordinary citizens, both children and adults, this country?s political,
scientific and cultural life of the past and present. The program is an
addition to our regular feature THIS IS RUSSIA.``
Nothing musical mentioned there; maybe what we heard was fill afterwards, but
there must have been at least 10 minutes of it. Several music shows are on the
list; maybe it was Folk Box, from the type of music we were hearing, but no
sign of that anywhere nearby on the program schedule.
So VOR has this extensively detailed website, but it fails to convey accurate
info when we need it. And/or, the programmers fail to follow the published
schedule. Furthermore, all the times given are wrong, ignoring news on the hour
and half-hour.
More problems: we see typos in the program schedule, such as ``03.00-30.30``
repeated six times except Sunday when the out time is 04.00. Altho the schedule
is certainly in UT, this is not specified on the individual target area pages,
and the Listen Live spot at the upper right displays times of UT+4 as being
current, so that must be local Moscow time! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Checking RNV Sunday Sept 9 at 1905 via CUBA: unlike last
week, RNV CI was underway as usual on 15290. Nothing audible on 17705, which
Ad?n Mur in Paraguay, Conexi?n Digital, had reported at 1945 in mid-August. I
wonder if the time was an hour off, as 17705 is normally used for the 20-21 UT
transmission. Also, unlike previous weeks, the separate `Alo, Presidente`
service was still running at 1905 on 11670, 11875 and 17750, but not on 13680.
Thus I suspect the 13680 transmitter, if it was really on earlier, did not
check, is the one taken out of that for the regular RNV CI service to start at
1900 on 15290. A double-dose of Bolivarianism. Thank you, Habana! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. R. Nacional de la RASD, 6300, Sept 13 at 0603 with
Qur`an, but sounding quite distinctive from the mainstream Arabic version; 0612
a bit of music, and then a brief lecture; no sign of RHC mixing product tho
6060 and 6180 were both on; perhaps 6060 was too weak to make the leapfrog at
the moment. SINPO 35333 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
