FYI Cats love adio Australia;
- Our cat , hearing the music they're playing, tried to jump up on the receiver & investigate, knocking everything down. Gently took him out , put him in front of the TV & turned it on . .

Diverd4777 wrote: S-5 S- 7 here on the east coast Almost as clear as a local / regional AM Station Nothing really unusual about that. They generally put in a good signal here on 9580. What was unusual this morning was having to go out and do some minor antenna repairs. The PL-259 on my 200' wire must have worked its way out of the matching transformer due to repeated heating and cooling. This mornings 9 degree temp put the finishing touches on it and it was not making a good connection. At first I thought my coax had failed (it's buried), but after doing some continuity checks, and finding out that the PL-259 seemed just a tad loose, I quickly got it up and running again. It's damn cold out there in the wind and snow! Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B "I swear by, not at, Drake receivers" |
And now after 1400 they have switched to 9590. Also in // 5995 with a
good signal too. Diverd4777 wrote: S-5 S- 7 here on the east coast Almost as clear as a local / regional AM Station - Check it out ! |

I finally got tired of it and changed to listening to QRM. Actually hams talking over each other on 7219 and 7219.25 Kinda funny. Yes Steve, I had to do that a couple of weeks ago after a bad snow storm. 73's Rick Drake R8 R8B ICOM R75 Yaesu 7700 Hammarlund SP-600-JX-17 "If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?" |

@aol.com says... S-5 S- 7 here on the east coast Almost as clear as a local / regional AM Station - Check it out ! In Ohio, on my R71a sitting on the kitchen table with a 10' hunk of wire shoved into the center of the SO-239, without the preamp, it was 30 over on 9580, with it, it was pegged out. I haven't seen signal strength like that for a long time. I went into the other room and put the 515 on 11.175 USB, and the base (Just went out of my head, can't remember where it was at, as soon as I hit send, it will come back) was 60 over on my sloper, and the attic dipole, AND the short dipole too! I could hear all kinds of planes talking in the background. If I ran the volume up, they were all totally copiable, but when one of the strong ones keyed up, it bloew my head off. It's really strong everywhere I tried today, must be the cold temp and snow cover. It sure is quiet too... Too bad it's not like this in the summer.. BDK |
Some of you folks out there have awfully generous S meters! ;-)

The snow and the rain have very little if anything to do with propagation at HF frequencies. They may have an effect at VHF and above. Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B |

I also hear a lot more traffic than normal on the ATC freqs, lots of pacific, hell, lots of everywhere! BDK Hmmmmmm... That's nice.

Recently, Radio Australia's 9.580 mhz transmission goes off air around 1400
G.M.T. Then it returns around 1600 G.M.T., when 9.590 mhz ceases operation. WA6020SWL |
