MW catches heard in South Africa
 
Just back from Seefontein.
Ended up really great for me = another great catch, the last
of the day and session as the sun wiped out the signals:
1160khz 0502z 090319 "KSL" Salt Lake City UT with clear recorded ID,
15,558km's/9667miles away - another catch of a lifetime = really
thrilled.
Also 1040 WHO Des Moines IA (14200 km's away) and
1550 "CBC R.1" CBE Windsor Ontario
both not to be sneezed at

Full official sunrise was at 0449

Will write up the full DXpedition report in coming days.

Good snags, Plimmer. KSL is a monster in the USA West.

Very hard to believe with IBOC jamming on both KSL and WHO - perhaps,
this is a misleading post about AM DX'ing and that IBOC 's
interfernece is not detrimental.

Sounds good, Mr.Plimmer.Keep on catching those long distance signals.

There would be considerable phase shift at that distance, that and though
the 50,000 watts from KSL might make it halfway around the world in very
particular circumstances, the 500 watt IBOC sidebands most likely would not.
This compared to the fact that a 500 watt signal will do quite well over a
~1500 mile skywave path in many circumstances.

Between 1140 in Sacramento, and 1160 in SLC, 1150 in Los Angeles doesn't
have a chance in the mornings.

BAD,

Digital Side-Bands beyond a distant just become
Spread-Spectrum Noise while the AM On-Channel
Signal --- can still get trough ~ RHF

LMFAO!

The digital saddlebags' interference can be heard from great
distances, but they only decode within tens-of-miles of the IBOC
transmitters. Great technology - destroy AM, and now FM with the 10db
power increase. At least IBOC has driven me away from listening to
terrestrial radio, and back to the few left on SW. I saw a post on
another board that the digiral signals coming out of Sacksville,
Canada on 9800 is causing a lot of adjacent-channel interference. But,
that is the plan for digital radio, in general - block adjacent
signals to force listeners to listen locally to the interference
generating signals.
