** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 7430, VG with instrumental music, Dec 21 at 2124. This
is scheduled English to Europe but there were no announcements at all before
2127:30*, having cut to the RT theme music at 2127. Meanwhile, I again looked
for the // 9915 to NAm, but not a trace of even a carrier there. Not much else
from Europe audible on 31m, either; Greece [q.v.] poor on 9420, but also VG
signals on 40m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. Looking for the latest sensation, Nile Valley Radio on 9250, Dec 21
at 2126 and again 2145: barely a trace of a carrier here. Not much was
propagating from Eu/ME at that hour on that band, Greece poor on 9420 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. ERT had very strong S9+25 signals on its two 40m frequencies, Dec 21
at 2122, but both were badly undermodulated: 7475 barely modulated at all, but
7450 considerably better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6075, at 1359 Dec 23, in 49m bandscan I noticed a somewhat rumbly
signal from Pet-Kam, but something even stranger at 1400-1401: a Morse code
message, ending in K. This was tone modulation, not carrier on-and-off,
presumably from the 6075 transmitter just before it did go off a minute later.
It was sent at quite a slow rate, and I might have been able to copy it if I
had not been taken by surprise and my attention split (CBS Sunday Morning was
just starting!). Let us try again for this strange anomaly and decode what they
are saying, probably in Russian involving Cyrillic code characters (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR-1 was still on 15825 instead of 7465, during the correct WORLD
OF RADIO 1387, Friday Dec 21 at 2130. After 2200, again on Friday Dec 21,
Frecuencia al D?a instead of Mundo Radial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
WWCR-2, with DGS, stayed on 5935 well past its scheduled switch to 13845 at
1400, Dec 22: still going at 1419, but not at 1457 recheck, so made the change
sometime between those hours.
Also on 5890 with WWCR-4, PPP, at 1419, but this one lasts until 1600
currently. BTW, remark in previous report about Adam Lock on the Power Hour had
him one hour too early; that was up until hourtop 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Radio Havana Cuba
Dxers Unlimited
Dxers Unlimited weekend edition for 22-23 December 2007
By Arnie Coro
Radio amateur CO2KK
Hi amigos radioaficionados ! Seasons greetings and a Happy New Year 2008
from Havana?
Welcome to the weekend edition of your favorite radio hobby program,
coming to you from sunny Havana, where our mild winter weather, as usual
is providing us with beautiful days for going to the beach !!! I am
Arnie Coro, radio amateur CO2KK, your friend here in Cuba, now ready to
read today?s menu: ITEM ONE
The expected TV DX winter season openings have happened, recently,
with sporadic E skip events around the Caribbean becoming more and more
frequent. At least two of the most recent sporadic E opening sent the
maximum useable frequency up to the FM band, making reception of FM
stations from more than one thousand miles away possible even with
handheld radios and their telescopic whip antennas? More about the
sporadic E season later. This is the winter sporadic E season that is
much shorter and with less number of openings than the spring summer
season,that is still several months away, due to start at the end of
April as usual .. ITEM TWO: An amateur radio satellite designed to orbit
the Earth using a very special elliptical orbit that would make it
available for many hours at a time, just short of a geosynchronous
orbit, the so called MOLNYA orbit, is an excellent choice for any
upcoming new ham radio satellite. But it will cost a lot of money to
build it. Such a MOLNYA orbit type of satelllite will hopefully
sometime in the distant future replace the doomed OSCAR 40, that had big
problems from its very few hours in Earth Orbit.
ITEM THREE: Listeners questions continue to come in via e-mail,
postcards, letters and fax messages, and I have quite a backlog of them
here waiting to be answered? a recent one from Brazil, really surprised
me, as normally the show is not heard so far South of Havana? But the
use of 11760 kiloHertz with our high gain omnidirectional antenna
explains why English speaking listeners from Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
Uruguay and Paraguay and also Bolivia, among others, are picking up
Dxers Unlimited.. ITEM FIVE: More about low cost , easy to build ham
radio equipment, and at the end of the show, our exclusive and not
copyrighted HF plus low band VHF from 30 to 120 megaHertz propagation
update and forecast.Stay tuned for more radio hobby related information,
coming to you from Havana. I am Arnie Coro ready to be back with you in
just a few seconds after a short musical interval?
?.
Si amigos, yes my friends, you are listening to Radio Havana Cuba, the
name of the show is Dxers Unlimited, and YES, we do QSL here one hundred
percent, we do verify reception reports and we do it absolutely free of
charge, as all short wave radio stations should do? Send your signal
reports and comments about the program to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or VIA AIR MAIL
to Arnie Coro, Radio Havana Cuba,
Havana, Cuba, And NOW , here is ASK ARNIE, THE most popular section of
Dxers Unlimited, according to your e-mails, postcards and letters amigos
? QUESTION number one for today: From listener Desmond QTH Glasgow,
Scotland, the UK?, Des wants to know why old radio magazines often
mentioned the use of so called converters ahead of short wave receivers
to pick up the higher frequency bands. Well amigo Des,as I explained
recently here to a listener in Maryland , USA, a converter is nothing
else but a complete front end of a radio receiver,that is built as a
separate unit, in a separate box ,so that it can be connected between
the antenna and the receiver and it usually includes a radio frequency
amplifier stage, a mixer and a local oscillator. The RF stage in the
case of converters designed to be used for the VHF bands used at that
time,the best available low noise vacuum tubes that provided good gain
and low noise, and the really good converters used a crystal controlled
local injection oscillator. Even today, adding a homebrew converter
ahead of a low cost receiver can provide outstanding results,it can
prove to be a quite succesful effort especially with radios that lack
front end selectivity or use a single intermediate frequency, the so
called single conversion receivers. Not too long amigo Desmond, I
removed a lot of dust from a three transistors 10 meters band converter
that was in storage for many years? it required just 12 volts DC to
operate. Powering it up from one of my workbench power supplies , I
connected the more than 30 years old germanium transistors converter to
a modern digital portable receiver,the SONY ICF7600 and was pleasently
surprised when I could pick up several 27 megaHertz 11 meters band
Citizens radio stations as the band was open at the time of the test.
Modern HF receivers are including extended tuning range even up to the
two meters amateur band, so these converters are not required with new
receivers, but older radios that had a limited coverage to around 30
megaHertz would certainly benefit with the use of a well designed
converter. Anyway, for those of you like amigo Desmond that are
interested in VHF converters, I may add that they are not too difficult
to homebrew, especially if you use solid state devices . A typical more
modern converter will use a high gain low noise MOSFET RF amplifier
stage, a double balanced passive mixer and a bipolar transistor
oscillator. It will be powered from 12 volts DC and when connected to
even a low cost modern digital receiver, will turn the resultant
combination into a rather nice VHF receiver , useful for monitoring 6
meters during the summer sporadic E season. Remember to tune set the
receiver to scan from 50.0 to 50.3 megaHertz where most of the activity
on 6 meters is concentrated around the world. QUESTION TWO, Came from
the beautiful city of Bahia in Brazil, listener Marco Aurelio , who
listens to our 9550 kiloHertz Caribbean edition, tells me in his e-mail
that he wants to know more about the fan dipole antennas and why are
they so useful when you can only install a single outdoor antenna at
your location.. Well amigo Marco Aurelio, broadband fan dipoles are easy
to build, they are easy feed with open wire line, and above all, receive
only fan dipoles can be built very easily and at low cost by anyone .
Amigo Marco Aurelio, I am sending direct to you via e-mail the complete
, step by step building instructions for my WIDE BAND FAN DIPOLE HF
ANTENNA SYSTEM, so that you can start building yours and then tell me
also via e-mail how it performs at your location.
The WIDE BAND FAN DIPOLE HF ANTENNA is possibly one of the lowest cost
high performnce OUTDOOR antennas that exists, but it can also be used
INDOORS too, in which case you will want to install a remote tuning
ANTENNA TUNER system. Peaking the antenna tuner for maximum signal is
quite easy to do, and at the same time it provides ultra-sharp
selectivity right at the antenna, that helps a lot to reduce unwanted
noise and cross modulation problems caused by high powered stations that
affect low priced receivers so badly. As a matter of fact, using my WIDE
BAND FAN DIPOLE ANTENNA with a low cost digital receiver proved to be a
very interesting experience, as the radio?s performance was enhanced
signficantly due to the extra selectivity at the front end provided by
the antenna tuner system very sharp tuning.
QUESTION THREE, yes, sent by listener Adalberto in Mexico |City,
Mexico, he wants me to describe the design parameters for the low cost
two element cubical quad antenna for the 2 meters amateur band. Well
amigo Adalberto, using standard wire quad antenna elements , the small
CUBICAL QUAD is fed with 50 ohm coaxial cable. The boom is made from PVC
pipe of the type used for water distribution .The two elements are close
spaced at only 25 centimeters separation from each other. This version
of the CUBICAL QUAD antenna has around 5 dB gain, a broad radiation
horizontal pattern, is rugged and easy to build and will help you to
access distant repeaters that can?t be reached using the typical
handie-talkie helically loaded antenna, popularly known as rubber ducky
because they look like the tail of a duck wagging !!!
The boom of the antenna is made from PVC pipe of the type used for high
pressure water distribution, and is one meter long, so that you can hold
the antenna to any support from the rear of the reflector element and
keep it well separated from the supporting mast or tower.
Again the separation between the driven and the reflector loops is 25
centimeters. And the wire loops are made using number 12 bare copper wire..
I feed this antenna with 50 ohm coaxial cable, and right after the
feedpoint, I wind 8 turns of the coaxial cable to the boom of the
antenna to make an RF choke.. the cable is then fed trough a hole in the
boom to the rear of the antenna where it exits . I have made many of
these antennas, and found out that they provide excellent performance,
and when built using the above mentioned dimensions they are usually
below 1.5 to 1 standing wave ratio even before any adjustments are made.
They can be adjusted for almost perfect standing wave ratio by just
sliding the reflector element back and forth across the boom, and then
leaving it permanently fixed at the spot that provides the lowest SWR.
Try to tune the antenna for minimum SWR using a VHF standing wave ratio
meter, but again, you can use the antenna directly without any
adjustments without fear of high SWR, by just carefully measuring the
elements .
And now amigos, as always, at the end of the program, here is Arnie
Coro?s Dxers Unlimited?s HF propagation update and forecast? Solar flux
is hovering around 70 units and the A index was still a around 8 units,
and it may even go down later in the week.Solar flares are not expected
during the rest of the week .But propagation conditions will take a turn
for the worst because of what scientists are forecasting as yet another
long period of a blank Sun,.
Sporadic E openings are going to be more frequent as we approach the
peak of the winter E skip season, so do monitor the low band TV channels
for them. See you all at the mid week edition of the program and don?t
forget to send me your radio hobby related questions, signal reports and
comments .. send mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED], or via air mail to Arnie Coro,
