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. Previous details on Seefontein DX site at http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/ John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s Icom IC-7700, Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods ERGO software Drake SW8. Sangean 803A Sony 7600D, GE SRIII, Redsun RP2100 Antenna's RF Systems DX 1 Pro Mk II, Datong AD-270 Kiwa MW Loop. http://www.dxing.info/about/dxers/plimmer.dx |

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 |

PocketRadio, This Post Proves you are not a real Radio Enthusiastic -butt- another Head-Up-Your-Ass Anti-AM-FM Radio Shill ! �. �.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. |
