Erittäin kannatettava ajatus! Ja mielellään tekstimuodossa, jos vielä joltain löytyisi energiaa yhdistellä vuositilastot ...

[DX] Philips violetti toroidi
Tervehdys ... Fiilailen tässä joutessani vähän AOR AR8600-vastaanottimen diodisekoittajia ... tämä laajakaistaisen päättämisen tekniikkahan ei ole ollut Japanin vastaanotinvalmistajien hallussa kuin vasta aivan viime vuosina (esim. IC-7200). Yleensähän näissä sekoittaja on päätetty vt-suotimeen tai virityspiiriin ja vain välitaajuudelle - ei siis laajakaistaisesti. Mutta laajakaistainen päättäminen antaa jopa 10-12 dB paremman IP3-arvon ... Sekoittajan 50 ohmin laajakaistaisen päättämisen hoitaa nyt kaksi U310 fettiä (50 ohmia/25 mA/rinnakkain). 2N5109 olisi ollut tukevampi ratkaisu, mutta olisi vaatinut virtalähdepuolen remppaamista (30-60 mA virtaa ei riitä). Post-mixer vahvistimen ulostulon laajakaistaisen 4:1 päättämisen hoitaa bifilaarinen laajak. muuntaja, joka on kasattu Philipsin violetille 0,85 cm rungolle. Näitä on jäänyt miljoonalaatikkoon vielä muutama. Olisiko kellään listan rakentajista tietoa ko. toroidirunkojen permeabiliteetistä. ??? 73 de SDXL1398/OH5MD, Ilkka M. ___ Tilaa WRTH 2011 nyt: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 - DX mailing list DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/dx ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

Re: [DX] Philips violetti toroidi
Hei. OK, kiitos tiedosta ... Bifilaarisia kierroksia on nyt 9 ja tämä kerrosmäärä voisi olla suhteellisen hyvä tälle toiselle välitaajuudelle 45,05 MHz. Amidonin 43-rundolle (perm. 850) kierroksia olisi ollut liikaa. Ensimmäisen välitaajuuden päättäminen onkin sitten hankalampaa, taajuus on 854 tai 243 MHz! 73 de SDXL1398/OH5MD, Ilkka M. -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com [mailto:dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com] Puolesta Juha Solasaari Lähetetty: 26. lokakuuta 2011 15:11 Vastaanottaja: Suomalaisten DX-lista Aihe: Re: [DX] Philips violetti toroidi Hei, Philipsin violetit ovat käsitykseni mukaan materiaalia 4C6 / 4C65, permeabiliteetti 125. 73!

Tirana detected now either, tho various other signals on band, still not fully recovered from disturbance. Earlier checking at 1406, there was some intermittent ute noise circa 13628 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Tuesday Oct 25, no carrier detected from LRA36 at chex 1313, 1355, 1405. Yimber Gavir?a found an article about their 32nd anniversary last Thursday Oct 20: 32 a?os de radio argentina en la Ant?rtida http://bit.ly/rjLLGW First it says that LRA36 started in 1982 at a different base, Marambio; then later it says it started in 1979 at Esperanza! It may be the `first and only` Antarctic station now, but of course there was AFAN, the US station at McMurdo for a number of years on 6012, which the Argies like to overlook. Says the schedule is Tue Thu only at 13-15 UT, due to energy conservation restrixions. That appears to be current, but also says power is 10 kW, while other reports said it is a 5 kW unit, and run at much less than that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 15785, Oct 25 at 0535, Chinese with heavy flutter; HFCC shows CRI via Xi`an. Momentary pause in Firedrake/RFA search (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 25 before 0600 UT, during unusual propagation conditions, i.e. after 1 pm ChiCom time, all with heavy flutter: 16980, poor at 0532 16700, poor at 0532 16100, poor at 0532 15900, poor at 0532 14700, poor at 0545 13960, JBA at 0548 13130, JBA at 0545 12230, JBA at 0548 Oct 25, before 1300: 12500, poor with flutter at 1246; none higher 12230, very poor at 1246 10300, good at 1249 Before 1400: 10300, good at 1357 12670, fair at 1357 13970, poor at 1358 14700, fair at 1358 15440, fair at 1358 15545, poor at 1359 with noise added 15970, fair at 1359-1400* Started too late, so highers unchecked before 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. Propagation proves the incompetence of the DentroCuban Jamming Command, leaving the nasties running all night and producing harmonix, spurs: 18090, Oct 25 at 0543, jamming, not just pulses, i.e. more than one, 3 x 6030 vs Mart? 17865, Oct 25 at 0543, exactly same sound as 18090, 3 x 5955 vs. R. Rep?blica, which is probably no longer on at this hour 13820, Oct 25 at 0546, pulse jamming long after R. Mart? is off 9805, Oct 25 at 0551, slow pulse jamming at rate of 2 per second, against another absent Mart? 9965, Oct 25 at 0552, pulses of 2 per second like 9805, but mixed with another faster one. Another non-used R. Rep?blica frequency 9955, Oct 25 at 0552, similar to 9965, but R.

Tirana broadcasts on air this week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 26, before 1300, mostly with flutter: 7970, poor at 1255 10300, good at 1255 12230, good at 1255 12500, very good at 1256 13970, very poor at 1257 14600, poor at 1257 15900, fair at 1258 16100, fair at 1259; none in the 17s or 18s by 1300 Before 1400: 16100, very good at 1346 15545, very good at 1348 15440, noise jamming way over the FD at 1349 14600, very good at 1349 13970, very good at 1351 12500, very good at 1352 12230, poor at 1351 11520, good signal at 1353 but very distorted! And mixing with noise 10300, good at 1353 7970, very poor at 1358 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5040, Oct 26 at 0505, RHC Spanish is still on late past nominal 0500*, via a squealy transmitter, but not as bad as the one with English on 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CYPRUS. 14693-14718, Oct 26 at 1349, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, conveniently occupying a space vacated by Firedrake which was on 14600 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KUWAIT. 15540, Oct 25 at 1757, R. Kuwait is already on, instead of Urdu, in Arabic speech, mentioning Palestine, Sudan, perhaps a special live event, because it continued past 1800 without timesignal, and was // 13650 which is normally in Arabic. 1826 recheck, speech is over, but still in Arabic on both, so looks like English is kaput from 15540, which now is much stronger than 13650. 1914 rerecheck, both still // with Qur`an. 2000 announcement, back to Qur`an, and now the // to 15540 is 17550, weaker but at least audible, ex-13650. 11990, the long-announced English frequency is still not on the air as it ought to be at 18-21. So no more English from Kuwait on SW; we can`t help but wonder if the 15540 broadcast was an ``intentional mistake`` whose time has run out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. The aurora-induced sporadic E opening of Oct 25 continued to bring in some weak analog ch 2 signals as late as 1815 UT, but no more at 1900 and several later chex that afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise DX Oct 26 UT: 770, Oct 26 at 1225 UT, string of government PSAs, 1228 full ID for XEACH, R. Fórmula Monterrey, including address and 800 number; 1229 rock song in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 32, the duplicate ``TV-OK`` signal same as KXOK-LD on RF 31, lasted a few more days and is now gone, without any explanation from the Enid station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oct 26, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN. 9960, Oct 26 at 1355, surprised to hear VTC/BaBcoCk fill music loop, but shortly to Vietnamese announcement. Not in original Babcock A-11 schedule or HFCC, but Aoki shows Family Radio at 13-14 on 9960, 100 kW, 267 degrees via Tainan. I guess this is routed thru BaBcoCk, like some other Taiwan relays such as 9950, Furusato no Kaze at same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET) ** U S A. 9370, Oct 25 at various times I noticed WTJC very undermodulated, and while that was no bother to any neighbor, I said to myself, ``a bad sign, I bet they will be squeezing out spurs before long``. And so they were! Oct 26 at 1218, huge distorted blobs around 9395 and 9345, i.e. 25 kHz either side, while 9370 remained very undermodulated. A weaker pair could be heard 50 kHz on either side, circa 9320 and 9420. However, by 1255, the spurs were gone, no doubt only temporarily, as WTJC goes thru periodic continuous cycles out of whack and back into whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 920, Oct 26 at 1232 UT, dominant signal looping NW/SE with low-key local newscast, no hype, no ads, items such as: rock art vandalism in Utah, call BLM; Wyoming/Colorado water pipeline controversy; local elexions in Ballard City; Hallowe`en parade route changed in Roosevelt; tri-county health department sponsoring expired drug drop-off in Vernal. Finally fading at 1239 with increasing religious signal from NE/SW, no doubt KYFR in Iowa. This was obviously KVEL in Vernal UT, 5/1 kW U2 and should have been on night power before sunrise even in Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1430, Oct 26 at 1245 UT, ``Johnny, Be Good`` by Chuck Berry, 1247 ID sounded like ``All News KQGZ``, then mixing with `The Buzz` from Tulsa. I think the first one must have been KZQZ Saint Louis, where 1430 was originally WIL --- why would they replace a great heritage call with such an ugly unpronounceable one? FCC patterns show 5 kW daytime with a broad lobe to NNW, but plenty of signal to the SW; and a 50 kW daytime CP with quite different pattern, major lobes to the WSW and ENE; is that on air yet?

Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (October 21) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/shortwave.shtml in 3 forms- (new) HIGHEST QUALITY
(128kb)(27MB), broadcast quality (16MB), and quickdownload or streaming form

(If you have access to Audioport there is a highest quality version posted up
there {27MB}
http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-infouid=904nav=;;)
This week's show features stories from NHK World Radio Japan, the Voice of
Russia, Radio
Deutsche-Welle, ana Spanish National Radio.
From JAPAN- A covering of thick polyester sheeting is being installed over one
of the
damaged reactors at Fukushima, in an attempt to reduce the release of
radioactive materials.
5 of 12 schools in a city near Fukushima opened on Monday, with the students
wearing
masks to and from school, and limited to two hours of outdoor exposure. Japan
may ease,
but not eliminate, its 2003 restriction on US beef that was a result of mad cow
disease. The
EU has agreed in principle to tighten rules against the short selling of stock
market shares
and bonds.
From RUSSIA- The NY Times reported that the Obama administration had
considered a
cyber attack on Libya before commencing bombing raids there, and another one on
Pakistan.
A commentary on the use of computer warfare, including the Stuxnet virus which
infected
computers in Iran to disrupt its uranium enrichment program.
From GERMANY- On Thursday morning, as I produce this show, Colonel Gaddafi has
been
killed in Libya, though how it occurred is not clear. The European Commission
is considering
a ban on ratings agencies publishing their assessments of EU countries in
financial difficulty.
In Rome, at last Saturday's protests against economic inequality, small groups
turned violent,
much to the consternation of the majority of protestors.
From SPAIN-- A report on the huge October 15th rally in Madrid, where people
gathered to
express anger at the role of global finance in government.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -
http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at
http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify
me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please
mention the website if
you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection,
try the streaming
version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a
high-speed
internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection,
download the
smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3
player application
(RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm
(PDST)
on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via http://www.kzyx.org
There are several other streams that work better- http://www.freakradio.org
Freak Radio
Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from
feed://radio.indymedia.org/en/podcast?keys=shortwave++
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I
am still wondering
how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program
weekly- any ideas
are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to
donate for
production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that
have
donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)

The aurora-induced sporadic E opening of Oct 25 continued to bring in some weak analog ch 2 signals as late as 1815 UT, but no more at 1900 and several later chex that afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise DX Oct 26 UT: 770, Oct 26 at 1225 UT, string of government PSAs, 1228 full ID for XEACH, R. Fórmula Monterrey, including address and 800 number; 1229 rock song in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 32, the duplicate ``TV-OK`` signal same as KXOK-LD on RF 31, lasted a few more days and is now gone, without any explanation from the Enid station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oct 26, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN. 9960, Oct 26 at 1355, surprised to hear VTC/BaBcoCk fill music loop, but shortly to Vietnamese announcement. Not in original Babcock A-11 schedule or HFCC, but Aoki shows Family Radio at 13-14 on 9960, 100 kW, 267 degrees via Tainan. I guess this is routed thru BaBcoCk, like some other Taiwan relays such as 9950, Furusato no Kaze at same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET) ** U S A. 9370, Oct 25 at various times I noticed WTJC very undermodulated, and while that was no bother to any neighbor, I said to myself, ``a bad sign, I bet they will be squeezing out spurs before long``. And so they were! Oct 26 at 1218, huge distorted blobs around 9395 and 9345, i.e. 25 kHz either side, while 9370 remained very undermodulated. A weaker pair could be heard 50 kHz on either side, circa 9320 and 9420. However, by 1255, the spurs were gone, no doubt only temporarily, as WTJC goes thru periodic continuous cycles out of whack and back into whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 920, Oct 26 at 1232 UT, dominant signal looping NW/SE with low-key local newscast, no hype, no ads, items such as: rock art vandalism in Utah, call BLM; Wyoming/Colorado water pipeline controversy; local elexions in Ballard City; Hallowe`en parade route changed in Roosevelt; tri-county health department sponsoring expired drug drop-off in Vernal. Finally fading at 1239 with increasing religious signal from NE/SW, no doubt KYFR in Iowa. This was obviously KVEL in Vernal UT, 5/1 kW U2 and should have been on night power before sunrise even in Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1430, Oct 26 at 1245 UT, ``Johnny, Be Good`` by Chuck Berry, 1247 ID sounded like ``All News KQGZ``, then mixing with `The Buzz` from Tulsa. I think the first one must have been KZQZ Saint Louis, where 1430 was originally WIL --- why would they replace a great heritage call with such an ugly unpronounceable one? FCC patterns show 5 kW daytime with a broad lobe to NNW, but
[HCDX] [ptsw] Glenn Hauser logs October 24, 2011 [MORE]
From: Glenn Hauser wghau...@yahoo.com Subject: [ptsw] Glenn Hauser logs October 24, 2011 [MORE] To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: s...@mailman.qth.net Date: Monday, October 24, 2011, 4:46 PM It was such a nice fall afternoon that I spent over an hour outside on the sunny porch, DXing with the DX-398 initially on battery, but hooked up AC once I decided to stay a while. Plus random wire antenna strung around the area. In a couple days the temps are to plummet here. This dalliance will probably make me hustle to get caught up in time for the next WORLD OF RADIO produxion on Wednesday evening. ** ALBANIA. 13735, no trace of R. Tirana at 1855 or 1958-2000+ Oct 24, for the 1845 and 2000 English broadcasts, which will supposedly last one more week. It`s really catch-as-catch-can with this station. Presumed Kuwait was making it thru poorly on 13650; and better YFR via Wertachtal on 13750 until 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHILE [and non]. 17680, Oct 24 at 1452, CVC La Voz which is normally loud and clear all day, has heavy CCI and a SAH varying around 5 Hz, from something playing Afro/Asian(?) music. In fact, BBC Somali, 300 kW, 160 degrees via CYPRUS has been scheduled since 19 July at 1300-1600, but I hadn`t noticed it before vs CVC which is 100 kW at 0 degrees (or non-direxional?). So far it looks like this problem will go away in B-11, but UAE could be on 17680 from 10 to 17 --- many of those registrations are wooden (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 13800, Oct 24 at 1856 Firedrake with fair signal; could not do complete bandscan with the DX-398 but did punch up most of the common FD frequencies heard earlier in the day, and none others found. Expected it to vanish at 1900, but continued past 1903, and for the next hour still at 1941, 1953, but gone at 2001. Unlike Sound of Hope which gets a break at the top of every hour, target here is R. Free Asia in Chinese via Tajikistan at 17-20 which would usually be jammed by CNR1. Aoki shows SOH could also appear on 13800 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 28505-USB, Oct 24 at 1924, I`d recognize that Arnienglish anywhere, yes, you guessed it, mes amis, CO2KK in person, explaining how Cuba is a big Antille, plus 4000 little islands in an archipelago, to KB1PXX in Connecticut (also audible), who hopes one day to SCUBA in Cuba. Arnie says the best place is Maria la Gorda (Fat Mary) off Pinar del Río province, where there are coral reefs, commercial and spearfishing prohibited, visibility up to 30 meters. Also reveling in great 10m propagation now, band opens at sunrise from Eurafrica. KB1 keeps trying to wrap up contact, but Arnie adds to look out for club station T46A this weekend in the CQ WW SSB contest. 1927 Arnie calls CQ DX 10m, fonetix mostly as kilo-kilo, but sometimes as King-Kong, ha2 (So Arnie is the 8000-pound gorilla in the Raum?), next contact another Connecticutter, John, AB1NT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KUWAIT. 15540, Oct 24 at 1904, R. Kuwait is fair in Arabic, not English. At first I hoped it was just a clip about to be translated, but no. 18-21 on 15540 has always been registered as Arabic, and RK`s delegate with the amazing eyebrows at HFCC Dallas believed that info when I mentioned that the announcers were always giving the wrong frequency for English, 11990. Now they may have `corrected` this by changing 15540 to Arabic, but we may still hope today`s language was another mistake. By 1940 had faded to very poor and could not be sure of language, but still seemed Arabic. I also had their intentional Arabic service poorly on 13650 before 1900; but after 2000 when supposedly on 17550 to CWNAm, that was inaudible, not surprisingly since lower 15540 was about gone. Further chex of which language is on 15540 at 18-21 are of course called for. As well as whether they will ever really use 11990, which they really need to during B-seasons if English is to propagate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1600, KUSH Cushing is still off the air, no signal Oct 24 at 1910 UT check. KUSH has an active website with recent local news, but nothing about being off the air: http://www.1600kush.com/index.php?section=1 Nor on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/1600kush?ref=ts Is everyone just listening online and don`t even notice if 1600 is missing? This is the link: mms://nick9.surfernetwork.com/kush and we got it right away at 2320 UT, but not really live, instead the 7-10 am `Donna Molly Show` playback. Besides that, it appears the streaming is limited to live silly ballgames. They don`t display a complete program schedule; what`s at 10-11 am? Then `The Michael Smerconish Show` at 11-1 M-F, Neal Boortz at 1-4 pm; what`s after 4 pm? Then plugs yahoosportsradio at 7 pm to 7 am on the web. Does this mean KUSH is not bothering to stay on air at night? One more show may be of interest if they get back
