[IRCA] TP 22 Aug Victoria version

Another mixture of Asia, Australia and New Zealand; Aussie and NZ came a little later generally but not always, while some of the Asians held on until after 1300UT pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not quite Reasonable audio at

No doubt a lot of the noise was directly radiating into your wire. In that case, a choke is just a paperweight. Chuck From: IRCA on behalf of Steve Ratzlaff Sent: Monday, August 22, 2016 7:59 PM To:

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Monday 8/22

Hi Colin, Yes, I thought of a CM choke as well, and tried one (with plenty of inductance to work well down at LF)--no discernible change in the AC hum! But the longwire is all down, supports removed, wire rolled up, so I don't ever plan to try that failed experiment again. :) 73, Steve

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Monday 8/22

Then for sure you need to be lots further away from // powerlines. Here in IL/WI there are many deer. I've made a deal with them. They don't chew my wires and cables and I don't chew on venison meat. 73 and good luck..KAZ On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 2:53 PM, Steve Ratzlaff

I'd expect that it might be possible to get Nibi-Nibi on that Array! 73 KAZ On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 9:08 AM, Mark Durenberger wrote: > The really FUN DX will come from the Square Kilometer Array...we'll chat > about THAT at the convention. > > > Regards, > > Mark

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Monday 8/22

Hi KAZ, The longwire was elevated 10' the whole distance. Critters chew up anything on the ground that catches their fancy, here in the desert (assumed to be packrats), so I can't leave any wire or cable lying on the ground if I want it to last more than a day or two.:) 73, Steve On

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Monday 8/22

Maybe add a common-mode choke to that set up. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC > On Aug 22, 2016, at 12:37 PM, Steve Ratzlaff wrote: > > I listen most mornings with the new 140' W DKAZ but conditions have been poor > lately; I don't report hets

Re: [IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Monday 8/22

Steve, Was that wire directly on the desert ground or was it elevated? Either way, I'd want to be more that 30-40 ft away from powerlines. Perhaps you'd pick up less noise if on the ground directly? 73 KAZ On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 2:37 PM, Steve Ratzlaff wrote: > I

I listen most mornings with the new 140' W DKAZ but conditions have been poor lately; I don't report hets or faint traces of audio. This morning was a little better. I strung a 1100' E/W longwire last week but found it picked up high levels of AC noise from a parallel powerline some short
