Tibnorilta kyllä löytyy, mutta en ole varma myyvätkö suoraan 
yksityishenkilöille. Kannatttaa kysyä, mitä kautta voisi heiltä ostaa.
Nettisivulta löytyy myös alumiiniputkien mittataulukko.

[DX] Nauhojen digitoinnista sananen

2013-08-18 Thread ilkka suni
Lienen viimeisiä reliikkejä, jotka ovat alkaneet 
käyttää DX-tallentamiseen myös digitaalisia 
formaatteja. Samalla olen myös alkanut pikku 
siivuissa digitoida DX-tallenteitani 
C-kaseteilta. Ja pari aspektia tuli mieleeni, 
jotka oman kokemani mukaan kannattaa huomioida 
digitoinnissa. Nämä aspektit tiedoksi heille, 
joilla vielä on digitoitavanaan vanhoja analoginauhoiteita.



1) MIKÄLI NAUHOITE on tehty kaksiraitanauhurilla 
(kasettidekillä, kelanauhurilla), digitoidessa 
kannattaa audio otaa vain toisesta kanavasta ja 
syöttää se sitten läppärin/digitallentajan 
kumpaankin kanavaan. Näin etenkin, jos 
digitoitava tallenne toistetaan jollain muulla 
analogisella nauhurilla kuin millä nauhurilla tallenne alunperin on tehty.


Perusteluni:
Analogisen nauhurin toistossa, äänipään 
atsimuuttikulma helposti aiheuttaa ns. vaihe-eroa kanavien kesken.
Normaalissa kuuntelussa eli toistossa, tuota 
vaihe-eroa ei juurikaan huomaa, ei kaiuttimien 
kautta eikä kuulokkeilla, ellei toistavan 
laitteen äänipääkulma poikkea radikaalisti 
tallentaneen nauhurin atsimuuttikulmasta.


Mutta kun tuon kahden kanavan välisen vaihe-eron 
kuulee esimerkiksi läppärin kaiuttimista, 
tallenne kuulostaa karmealta. Ääni soutaa kuin 
puro solisisi. Tästä syystä, digitointi kannattaa 
tehdä vain yhdestä analogisen nauhurin lähtökanavasta.


Tuo vaihe-ero, muuten, mielestäni oli yksi syy, 
miksi ns. tavallinen kuluttaja kolmisenkymentä 
vuotta sitten ei ollut kovin ihastunut 
C-kasetteihin. Ihmiset valtaosin käyttivät 
luokattoman tasoisia kasettinauhureita sekä 
luokattoman tasoisia halpakasetteja. 
Hyvätasoisella kasettidekillä ja hyvätasoiselle 
nauhalle 30 vuotta sitte tehdyt tallenteet, yhä kuulostavat vallan hifiltä.



2) NAUHOITTEEN KORKEIMPIA äänitaajuuksia 
kannattaa digitoidessa leikata pois, joko 
erillisellä rauta-/softaekvalisaattorilla tai 
esimerkiksi toistamalla nauhoite kohinanvaimennus 
(Dolby B) päällä. Ei Dolby C:llä, ellei 
alkuperäinen nauhoite ole tehty nimenomaisella 
samalla laitteella, Dolby C:tä käyttäen.


Perusteluni:
Digitaaliset tallennussoftat ymmärtävät huonosti 
analogista kohinaa, kuten nauhan pohjakohinaa tai ulakohinaa.
Mikäli tuota korkeataajuista kohinaa ei 
digitoitaessa leikata pois, tuloksena saattaa 
olla ikävästi pumppaava digitallenne.



MIKÄLI MAINITSEMIANI seikkoja ei digitoidessaan 
huomioi, saattaa jälkeen päin iskeä harmitus 
kehnon digitallenteen takia. Etenkin siinä 
vaiheessa,  jos tai kun alkuperäinen analoginen 
tallenne jo on tullut pyyhityksi yli tai 
heitetyksi vaaralisten jätteiden keräilyyn. 
Kyllä, C-kasetit ja kelanauhat, samoin kuin 
videokasetit ovat ns. vaarallista jätettä, eikä 
niitä tulisi heittää sekajätteiden joukkoon.



73, IS


P.S: Jos jollakulla on nurkissaan joutavia 
hyvätasoisia C-kasetteja vuosikymmenten takaa, 
mielelläni otan moisia vastaan. Korvaan vähintään postituskulut.

Alkavat viimeinkin olla kokolailla ohi.

Vielä keskiviikkona 14. ja torstaina 15. elokuuta 
oli vallan mainiota kivitystä. Tänään, enää 
satunnaista töhähtelyä ehkä pari, kolme kertaa 
tunnissa, mikä töhähtely enää välttämättä ei 
liity Perseideihin. Lenteleehän noita irtokiviäkin.


No, ei muuta kuin odottelemaan seuraavaa meteoriparvea.

Hei,

Tällainen näyttää olevan, tosin Espoossa:
http://protoshop.fi/
ja sieltä alasivu 'Materiaalimyymälä'
Hinnoista en tiedä mitään.

Vanhaan hyvään aikaan sai tosiaan rautakaupastakin alumiiniputkea, mutta 
ajat ovat muuttuneet (virallisen propagandan mukaan paremmiksi).

Hi Adam,

Yes, the static has indeed been lower in the past few days, but there is 
still the standard summer static to be found.  I'm afraid there was more 
than just that involved.  Several of these stations were at levels not 
heard during the winter season!

I use a Microtelecom Perseus.  It's a darned good unit and well worth 
every penny I spent for it.  Hopefully, in the next couple of years, I 
will be moved ot into the country and away form neighbors with their 
RFI=generating equipment.  I will most definitely pay the extra to have 
to power lines to my house buried.  These are all lessons learned!  
Currently, the lines to my side of the street are buried, but across the 
street in another borough, the lines are still overhead.  LCD and plasma 
TV's are a bane here, but thankfully, I can contro9l those within my own 
house and diminish their harmful effects.

I do use a Wellbrook AL1530P active loop, and I wold not part with it!

It's interesting.  I have seen people posting YouTube videos of their 
receptions.  It just strikes me as odd: posting a web video of an 
inanimate object.  I understand that people would like to experience DX, 
but a road trip to an isolated area with antennas and receivers could 
give an even bigger thrill.

 Great Job!I think the reason why you can hear these weak signals 
 is that the lightning activity was lower than it was this summer. Not 
 to mention the cooler temperatures since it's 72'F
 over here in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  Did you use a RTL-SDR 
 radio receiver with a HF up converter or a portable receiver when 
 receiving these signals? I have not got to DXing LW because
 of the distant storm activity and also the LCD TV was turned on. If I 
 have to listen on LW I would go to Web SDR to hear the signals. I 
 wish you could of provided a you tube video or SDR IQ file for us to 
 experience on SDR Sharp.I think the antenna you used was the 
 Wellbrook loop antenna while DXing on LW.

finally full local ID as XEP, 38,000 watts, and into ``música de siempre`` so 
must have quite a mixed format. Then fades down; it had been dominating and 
looping WSW, so I figured it must be this Ciudad Juárez station. WRTH 2013 
implies it`s 50 kW fulltime; IRCA Mexican Log of last year shows 500 watts at 
night; currently Cantú shows 38 kW day, 200 watts night! Which can we believe?

``TYLER MEDIA TO LAUNCH A SPORTS STATION AT FM 107.7 IN AUGUST
Classic Rock KRXO will move to new frequency at FM 104.5
By Mel Bracht Published: July 10, 2013
http://newsok.com/tyler-media-to-launch-a-sports-station-at-fm-107.7-in-august/article/3860993

The already crowded sports talk market in Oklahoma City soon will be getting 
its sixth sports talk station. Tyler Media announced Wednesday that it is 
launching a sports talk radio station in August on FM 107.7.

Classic Rock KRXO, which had been at 107.7, will move to a new frequency at FM 
104.5, the company announced. According to the news release, KRXO's lineup of 
Bob and Tom, Cara Rice, Buddy Wiley, Kelso, Unkle Dave and Rick Caldwell are 
expected to move to a much smaller signal on 104.5. Ty Tyler, president of 
Tyler Media, said in an email the new frequency recently was granted by the FCC 
and will reach more than 800,000 people in the metro area.

Tyler said it is in the process of hiring local sports talent from 6 a.m. to 9 
p.m. for the new unnamed station on 107.7 FM, which he said will have the 
strongest signal in the market. The station will include play-by-play of OU 
sports and be associated with NBC Sports. It plans to air NFL broadcasts on 
Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights, and other programming is under 
consideration.

We are excited to expand our portfolio of stations, Tyler said in the 
release. A Big League City needs a Big League Sports Station.

Sports Animal radio personality Mike Steely is expected to join the new 
station. Steely, a member of the Morning Animals, last appeared on WWLS-FM 98.1 
on June 29. He said he could not comment if he was leaving the station.

The addition of 104.5 will give Tyler Media six FM signals in the market, one 
above the normal limit. However, Tyler said the FCC allows an HD channel to be 
rebroadcast by a FM frequency. KRXO will be broadcast on both 107.7 HD2 and 
104.5 FM. The sports station will be broadcast on 107.7 HD1 and 107.7 FM.

Tyler Media, founded in 1965 by Ralph Tyler, is still a family owned business 
by sons Ty and Tony Tyler. According to the release, the company owns seven 
radio stations, four television stations and an outdoor advertising company.

The market's other sports stations are:

WWLS-FM 98.1, The Sports Animal. Local programming during the day, including 
The Morning Animals and Al Eschbach and Jim Traber for afternoon drive. ESPN 
Radio airs at night.

KWPN AM 640, ESPN Radio.

KREF-AM 1400, Sports Talk 1400, of Norman. The lineup includes OU radio voice 
Toby Rowland from 6 to 9 a.m. and former OU football stars Teddy Lehman and 
Dusty Dvoracek from 2 to 6 p.m. [and doesn`t reach the N side of OKC after dark 
vs graveyard pileup --- gh]

KGHM-AM 1340, The Game, which in a partnership with KREF airs Rowland from 6 
to 8 a.m. and Lehman and Dvoracek from 2 to 6 p.m. National hosts include Dan 
Patrick from 8 to 11 a.m.

KINB-FM 105.3, The Pro, CBS Sports Radio, including Doug Gottlieb from 2 to 5 
p.m.``

But obviously the new station on 107.7 has not been launched yet. Just how 
inferior is the 104.5 signal for the demoted KRXO format? FCC FM Query
