A better showing from yesterday but not by much. A couple Chinese in this morning with 1206 especially good. Best sampling by far was at 1435Z, getting some boost from dawn enhancement. LW band had only five 'R. Rossii' in this morning with no sign of 171 today. But the loudest signals heard

Could it be KCNN East Grand Forks, MN/Grand Forks, ND? They're listed as country and looks like the closest 1590 to both Terry in Regina and Nigel in Duymore. I know they've recently added an FM translator and thought they have done other tweaks to the station lately, so who knows what is going

The most powerful Norway AM on 1314 in Kvitsoy  was operating with 1 million watts and was receivable as far south as Holland during daylight hours. It was also the first European AM that was tunable on an airline flight from Vancouver to Amsterdam and could be tracked for at least three hours

Hello All, This morning's Asian signals ranged from comatose (at 1300) to fair (around 1420), with some moderately good big gun TP audio during brief moments. The first band check at 1300 was miserable indeed, with even all the Asian carriers way down in the noise (this was probably

[IRCA] Ferrite antenna

2010-11-03 Thread Craig Healy
Yesterday I had some time so I put a 24 ferrite rod antenna at the top of my 80' tower. Reason was to try to get away from the noise. In the house, noise is enough to bother semi-locals especially at the bottom of the band. It did reduce the noise and oddly it increased the signal levels by
