    I finally completed the work that I have been doing on a simple
varactor-tuned loop antenna with interchangeable antenna elements.  The
documentation is available at:

    http://tinyurl.com/6lht4y

    A little more work needs to be done here as the inductance of the
transformers is limiting the high end of the tuning range.  However, the
results obtained at this point show that the sensitivity is far better than
I had anticipated, and together with the very good S/N performance this
design rivals the performance my earlier active loop antenna that was
published in QEX back in 2003.

    Corrections and constructive comments are always appreciated.

Dxers Unlimited mid week edition for  26-27 August 2008

By Arnie Coro

radio amateur CO2KK

 

Hi amigos radio-aficionados !!!! Welcome to the mid week edition of your 
favorite listener oriented radio hobby show VIA SHORT WAVE, also visible 
at our website on World Wide Web too by going to http://rhc.cu 
<http://rhc.cu/> ...

 

I am Arnie Coro, radio amateur CO2KK , your friend here in Havana and 
host of this twice weekly program, entirely, absolutely devoted to our 
wonderful and fascinating hobby ...RADIO...

At the moment that you are hearing this program radio amateur operators 
in four Caribbean nations are already providing emergency communications 
as Hurricane Gustav,the seventh storm of this season is moving towards 
Haiti and Cuba. Amateurs in the Dominican Republic,

Haiti, Jamaica Cuba with the help of operators in Mexico, Honduras , 
Guatemala and the United States will be handling any emergency related 
traffic, and also providing the national weather services with the most 
up to date data registered at their locations.

 

Cuban amateurs in particular have already deployed portable stations at 
several remote locations in the mountains of eastern Cuba, where past 
experience has shown that rivers overflowing their banks due to the 
heavy rains that accompany tropical storms and hurricanes.

 

You can pick up hurricane related amateur radio communications on the 
20, 40 and 80 meter bands.

 

The Cuban emergency nets operate on 7045, 7060 to coordinate with 
Mexico, 7080 and 7110 on 40 meters and at night stations operate on 3740 
kiloHertz on the 80 meters band. The Hurricane Net frequency on 20 
meters is 14325, and it is active whenever a tropical storm or hurricane 
is near land.  

 

And NOW, after this Hurricane Gustav update here is the rest of  menu 
for today amigos...

Item one: Yes , an extremely low parts count amateur radio transmitter 
that works nicely and is

even simpler than the ONE PLUS ONE rig we described here recently... 
this one is still simpler and I already have made several CW 
radiotelegraphy contacst with it...

 

Item two: The ONE PLUS ONE rig continues to bring in feedback from Dxers 
Unlimited's fans...

 

A Canadian listener  sent me an enthusiastic e-mail about his success 
with the simple ham radio rig, and he is going to add a keyer to it...

 

Item three: Antenna topics section will be devoted today, again, at the 
request of several listeners ,  to the half square for the two meter 
band, an antenna that you can homebrew using readily available materials 
...

 

Our popular you have questions and Arnie answers them section , la 
NUMERO UNO, the most popular section of the program will deal today with 
the design of new buildings and how architects and engineers seem to be 
forgetting that people using those buildings do want to listen to the 
radio too !!!

 

And as always at the end of the show, Arnie Coro's Dxers Unlimited's HF 
propagation update and forecast will provide you with short wave radio's 
must up to date information in an easy to understand way, so that you 
can enjoy radio a lot more...

 

Jose Costa Pupo is my sound engineer here today, we are working here at 
RHC studio number 6

 

Stay tuned for more radio hobby related information after this short 
musical interval...

 

.........

 

The ONE PLUS ONE, the amateur radio transmitter built using just one 
integrated circuit and one NPN power output transistor has proven to be 
quite a success among Dxers Unlimited's fans that are also amateur radio 
operators...

The straightforward design can be implemented using the very easy to 
assemble so called ??dead bug?? type of  construction, that is by just 
gluing the integrated circuit and transistor upside down , with the 
connecting legs facing up, to a piece of copper foil printed circuit board.

The pc board acts as a ground plane to which you solder the parts that 
connect to ground, and wiring is extremely simple, not requiring artwork 
or the messy chemicals needed for the production of homebrew printed 
circuit boards...

My prototype ONE PLUS ONE , is now operating on the 40 meters ham band, 
thanks to a friend that gave me a nice quartz crystal that resonates 
very near to the lower edge of the band, on 7006 kiloHertz...

The 40 meters band version of the ONE PLUS ONE, keys very well, and is 
providing about 3 watts output into my wideband  FAN DIPOLE antenna...

 

So far I have made just a few contacts with stations in the United 
States and  Canada, no Europeans or Asian stations yet, but the reports 
received tell me that as soon as HF propagation conditions get better, 
the little rig is going to bring in some nice transatlantic DX too.

 

NOW, let me tell you what happened last Sunday... a friend visited me, 
and saw the ONE PLUS ONE, and I had  no choice but to  give him a 7400 
digital integrated circuit that I had removed from an old computer card, 
and also provide him with a few more parts to complete the kit of 
components for his ONE PLUS ONE.

 

He went home and Monday evening, he was on the phone asking me to tune 
around 7050 kiloHertz because his ONE PLUS ONE was already on the air...

 

We had a nice two way CW QSO using ONE PLUS ONES at both ends, and then 
he asked if I could design a circuit that could beat the ONE PLUS ONE , 
that is, using still fewer electronic components...

      

        Well Orlando, I told him, I think it can be done...

 

And  late Monday evening I had the one transistor , 2 resistors, 1 fixed 
and 1 variable capacitor rig on the air on the 40 meters band...

 

YES amigos, you heard it right, just one transistor, two carbon 
resistors, one disk ceramic capacitor, a variable capacitor from an old 
radio, plus a quartz crystal and a homebrew coil wound on an empty pills 
plastic container....

The rig was also wired dead bug style on a small piece of PC board,and 
 the tests were carried on by powering it from my workbench variable 
voltage power supply...

In this case , and once again I used a transistor that was removed , 
that is recycled, from a dead computer MFM legacy disk drive , and the 
coil form was a discarded medicine pills plastic container... plastic of 
course....

I wound 20 turns of no 20 enamelled wire, with a tap at 7 turns for the 
transistor and then wound a 4 turn link on top of the bottom of the 20 
turns coil...

 

When connected to the CO2KK broadband antenna, via the antenna tuner, 
the little rig moved the power meter needle to around 1.5 watts, and 
sure enough, a Cuban station heard my CQ and came back to me during this 
first test...

 

So, now you know that with still fewer parts one can make a useable ham 
radio transmitter....

No amigos it won't be a record breaker, and I am afraid that  you won't 
win a DX contest with it, but, its so easy to build and to operate that 
I am sure many of you will like to have the circuit diagram and building 
instructions for the ONE T ONLY rig, a single one power output 
transistor rig that so far I have tested on 160 80, 40 and 30 meters ... 
and of course that I will send you the complete set of data for winding 
your coils for those 4 bands...

 

Send your request for the ONE T ONLY single transistor amateur radio 
transmitter to inforhc at enet dot cu, again , it?s very easy to 
remember, inforhc at enet dot cu, and don't forget to include a signal 
report and comments about the show, as well as any suggestions or new 
ideas you may want to include in our program...

 

If you are not yet in cyberspace,send your request via AIRMAIL to Arnie 
Coro, Radio Havana Cuba, Havana , Cuba....

 

.........

 

The name of the station is Radio Havana Cuba, the name of the show is 
Dxers Unlimited, and yes , you are invited to stay with us for Dxers 
Unlimited's antenna topics section....

The now becoming more and more  popular among HF bands  Dxers... The 
 HALF SQUARE vertical wire antenna can be easily adapted for the 2 meter 
amateur band. The 2 meter HALF SQUARE is very easy to homebrew, and 
among its significant advantages is the fact that if you go exactly by 
the measurements provided by us,  you won't need a VHF standing wave 
ratio meter to adjust it...

 

Of the more than twenty HALF SQUARE two meter band antennas built here 
by radio amateurs, not a single one has required absolutely any 
adjustments...but as a precaution we have always checked them using a 
professional standing wave ratio meter and antenna analyzer, the fact is 
that they all came up with a very low standing wave ratio...

 

The two meter band HALF SQUARE is fed using 50 ohm coaxial cable and an 
easily built coaxial choke balun to decouple the antenna from the 
coaxial downlead...

 

The two vertical elements of the antenna are 56 centimeters long each, 
and the horizontal wire that connects them is 94 centimeters long...

 

The center of the coaxial cable connects to the base of one of the two 
vertical elements,

and the braid or shield of the coaxial cable connects to the horizontal 
wire that goes to the base of the other vertical antenna.

 

I have used properly painted plywood as the support for the antenna, but 
it is better to use white PVC pipe,  because it will last longer.

 

The plywood supported version of the HALF SQUARE for two meters was the 
first prototype and we had to use it during one of last year's 
hurricane, when our Radio Club was asked to provide communications at a 
location where the sea wall usually is jumped by huge waves and that 
part of the city floods in a very short period of time...

 

As always, with all Dxers Unlimited's radio hobby projects, complete, 
detailed building instructions are freely available, and you can be sure 
that each and every circuit and antenna mentioned here at our Dxers 
Unlimited program was fully tested before it was made available to our 
worldwide audience...

 

As a very good friend and long time listener of our show likes to say, 
you can't go wrong with Arnie's radio hobby projects because if you 
happen to have any doubts, by just sending an e-mail to inforhc at enet 
dot cu or an AIRMAIL postcard or letter to Arnie Coro, Radio Havana 
Cuba, Havana , Cuba, I will provide you with a fast reply that will 
clear up your possible doubts...

 

The HALF SQUARE two meter band antenna, a very easy to homebrew  almost 
5 dB gain antenna for your handie-talkie or fixed table top rig, is made 
using no 10 or no 8 copper wire, a length of PVC pipe and a length of 50 
ohm coaxial cable with the antenna connector soldered at one end...If 
you want to learn more about one of the lowest cost and easier to build 
2 meter band vertical antennas...then  just send an e-mail to inforhc at 
enet dot cu or an AIRMAIL postcard or letter to Arnie Coro , Radio 
Havana Cuba, Havana, Cuba...

......

Yes amigos ! Architects and engineers should learn more about radio and 
TV reception problems that people living in the buildings that they 
design are having .

 

According another a very good friend an long time Dxers Unlimited 
listener from Toronto, Canada , the newer office buildings built there 
in the past 5 years , do provide a lot of facilities

but radio reception inside them is almost impossible, and the same holds 
for TV sets.

 

The problem with AM reception can be traced to the use of so called 
energy saving fluorescent lamps, each of them a wideband pulse 
transmitter that wipes out reception over a wide band of frequencies...

 

Short wave receivers , even when located close to the big picture 
windows are also victims of the many electronic gadgets that form part 
of the newer buildings,like thermostats, elevator control systems, alarm 
systems,  fire warning systems etc..

 

And don't think that office buildings are the only ones where radio 
reception is becoming next to impossible, modern hotels or those that 
have recently rebuilt , as well as apartment buildings also have similar 
problems, as more and more people own home computer systems that use 
switched mode power supplies,  capable not only making a lot of RF noise 
but also capable of actually distorting the power line waveform beyond 
recognition, not to mention the terrible spikes generated by the high 
current devices controlled using state of the art semiconductors....

 

Not too long ago, a well known Cuban architect was telling me about the 
so called "intelligent buildings" and I asked him a question that left 
him scratching his head....

 

My question was if among the virtues of the "intelligent building" was 
wiping out their users possibilities of receiving radio and TV 
signals....You should had seen  his face... I certainly left hime 
thinking !!!

 

And now amigos, as always, at the end of the show, here is Arnie Coro's 
Dxers Unlimited's propagation update and forecast...

 

Solar flux still at extremely low levels , solar activity was very low 
during the whole week and will

stay at that level during the next several days... The slow transition 
to the equinoctial season is now in progress, and you will soon notice 
that the higher frequency bands will start to behave a lot better as we 
approach the autoumn equinox...

 

Best bands for daytime listening continue to be  19 and 16 and , with 16 
meters showing

a marked improvement during the past several days...  

 

For radio amateurs, 20 metersand also 17 meters will be the best bands 
to operate during the local daytime hours, with 40 meters providing nice 
DX even late in the evening...

 

Solar flux was very near 65 units on Tuesday, and the A index was 2.... 
I hope to see you at the weekend edition of the show and if you are a 
radio amateur operator be looking for CO2KK, my ham radio station on the 
air with the ONE PLUS ONE CW rig very near to 70060 kiloHertz during my 
local evening hours, from 0200 to 0400 UTC...

 

Maybe we will soon have a nice two way QSO on 40 meters with the little 
homebrew wonder transmitter.

 

And don't?forget to send me your signal reports and comments about the 
program amigos !!!

Peru, 5039.25, Radio Libertad, 1048-1105,  Was very surprised to hear this 
at this late
time.  At tune in, noted Huaynos and other types of music.  As the time 
slides away, so
does the signal with it fading into the noise and then popping up again.  At 
the end of the
song, a male in brief Spanish Language comments.  This followed with more 
music.
Sunrise is schedule in Fort Myers which is 100 miles west of me, for 1058 
UTC, so
we are definitely in the "gray zone"at the present time here in Clewiston, 
but only for a
couple more minutes. At 1100 other noisy stuff starts clogging the frequency 
covering over
Libertad's signal, which was poor to nil anyway during the period.  Signal 
is almost
gone for the day at 1104 UTC.  (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2008)

Thanks Arnaldo, here the item from Austrian A-DX:

Since Monday Aug 25th RAE is OFF on shortwave, only on Internet stream at
present.

RAE Buenos Aires - Kurzwellensender defekt. Laut Rayen Braun sind die
Kurzwellensender von RAE defekt.

Wurde heute im deutschsprachigem Programm gesagt.

Wortlaut: "hierzu muss ich sagen, dass unsere Sendeanlagen fuer die
Kurzwelle im Moment sozusagen ausser Betrieb sind, infolge von technischen
Problemen. Wir wissen alle, diese Sendeanlagen sind aeusserst alt, irgend
etwas ist kaputt gegangen und es ist im Moment sehr schwer, die Ersatzteile
zu bekommen oder zu teuer oder so etwas".

** CHINA. Out-of-band Firedrake check Aug 28 found it still/again appearing on 
Sound of Hope channels, 14410 at 1341, and 9300 at 1343, along with many other 
regulars against RFA, VOA, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Aug 28 at 0551 check, nothing but heavy jamming audible on 9955, 
during the scheduled 0530 UT Thu broadcast of WORLD OF RADIO on WRMI. What an 
advantage Our Friend in Habana, Arnie has in being able to jam the competition 
or anyone who dares to disagree with him!

Also noticed 7405 jamming against R. Mart?, Aug 28 at 1312 was extending from 
7395 to 7415. Remarkably, for being only 10 kHz away, WBCQ 7415 normally has no 
problem from the DentroCuban Jamming Command, but it would have if it were on 
at this hour, as it is permitted to be and occasionally has been with Brother 
Scare.

RHC check Aug 28: at 0549, noticed that both 6000 and 6140 in English were 
undermodulated and with hum; apparently a studio or feed link problem. Wiggle 
that patchcord! Roughly the same situation on 6000 at 1303, when they were 
promoting the evening`s Mesa Redonda at 2230 on 6000 and 9820, the subject of 
which would be the Democratic National Convention. What do the Cuban Commies 
know about democracy, and how can they cover it with a straight face? Might be 
an interesting take on the event.

Propagation was strange on 19m, with several good signals from Ascension to 
Turkey but RHC just barely audible on 15370 at 1339 Aug 28, much weaker than // 
13680. WYFR 15130 was also weak. But 15370 slowly built up and by 1352 was of 
fair strength; however, transmitter cut off the air several times uncovering a 
weaker co-channel. 13680 was also intermittent, and weak 13760 I noticed was 
echoing with the other channels when they were on.

I was making a point of checking the 1400v frequency announcement again some 
weeks after the new channels 15360 and 15120 replaced 9550 and 11805. This time 
it was read live by the staccato M announcer, and was exactly the same as 
previously quoted, still giving the old and not new frequencies, and failing to 
make clear that 6000 goes off at 1400. 

Such esoteric matters as frequencies axually in use take a long time to filter 
down from the engineering department to the announcing department. Of course, 
if the announcers had any initiative, they would find out for themselves the 
correct info, or axually turn on a radio and monitor their own station! (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. Have not heard VOI`s English hour at 1300 for some weeks, but 
must still be on 11784.9v as evidenced by barely audible het against VOA 
Chinese, which was atop Firedrake at 1340 UT check August 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Someone reported recently that WTJC had shifted from 9370 to 9365. 
Possibly, but still on 9370 when I checked Aug 28 at 1344 with Bible reading by 
Alex Scourby. 

BTW, I believe I referred to their slogan some time ago as ``Waiting Till Jesus 
Comes`` but it is really ``Working Till Jesus Comes`` as confirmed on their page
http://www.fbnradio.com/new_page.htm 
which also has some new(?) info about when WTJC and WBOH are not in English; I 
have added UT conversions:

``WTJC, which stands for "Working Till Jesus Comes." Currently, WTJC is 
operating 24 hours daily on 9370 kHz. WTJC broadcasts in English except for the 
following: 

Chinese programming is aired from 4:30 - 5:00 AM [0830-0900 UT], and Arabic 
programs can be heard from 11:00 - 11:30 PM local Eastern time [0300-0330 UT]. 

WBOH broadcasts around the clock on 5920 kHz in English except for two hours of 
Spanish music and messages which can be heard from 6:05 - 7:00 AM [1005-1100 
UT] and 8:00 - 9:00 PM local Eastern time [0000-0100 UT].`` 

O my, the above does not match the full program schedules at 
http://www.fbnradio.com/about_us.htm which still show Russian M-F at 0635-0640 
as we really ran across some weeks ago; Spanish at 1005 appears Sunday only and 
for 15 minutes, not 55; 0030 for 15 minutes too, only on UT Mondays. No Arabic.

Hi all,

I just uploaded a revised version of MAGNA for downloading to your computer.

Besides the updated data, there's a couple of new routines and a fun 
function
that helps you hear DX stations.
