7115 Khz @ 03:22?
 

Am picking up a signal at 7115 Khz at 03:22, language is Spanish; fairly
clear. "Passport" has no reference, neither does any of the sites that
reference the B05 - any ideas?

I could not hear this at all in central California. Where are you
located and how strong was it?

7115 Khz @ 03:22?
 

On 7110 kHz at that time, a R. Republica broadcasts in Spanish,
according to ILG, w/Cuban "bubble" jamming to block the signal's
reception in Fidel's fiefdom. Did you by chance note any type of
jamming accompanying the received signal?

I don't see a Spanish broadcast on that frequency. Might be some kind of
false signal on your portable. Listen on the hour and se if you can ID
the station. You may find it is really on another frequency.

A case of the portable radio receiving images?

didn't notice any jamming, but being a newbie I wouldn't know what to listen
for along that line anyhoo!

Could be some kind of ham signal from somewhere in the Carribean or
Central America, too.

Notice they never mention the receiver.
I'll give you 10:1 odds that her receiver is a Degen - LOL!

Receiver is a Grundig Mini 300 w/an attached telescoping antenna . . .

Being a newbie, I was unaware that the receiver made any difference in the
frequency the broadcaster was on!

The receiver has no impact on the frequency the broadcaster transmits
on. However, it can alter the frequency on which you receive the
broadcaster. It is not unusual for poorly designed/built radios to
receive 'images' of the broadcaster on other frequencies.

I do not have any listings for Spanish at that time either. Needs further
checking out.

What we most likely need is an accurate frequency and/or an accurate receiver.

Seems more probable that we've an image problem.

I'm glad to see this frequency listed again. Last year I posted the same
exact thing. A few times last summer, I picked up programming in Spanish
on that frequency. If I remember correctly, the time was around 8 to 10
UTC. It had a lot of fade. At times, it was clear but it would fade in and
out. I'm sure it wasn't an image. I used my R75 in ssb mode and the zero
beat was on 7115.02 No one on this ng had any idea of what it was. Most
suggested that it was an image or some sort of intermod. Each time I heard
it, I tried to listen for any station ID. I had no luck. I'm sure that
there was something being transmitted on 7115 but I was never able to figure
it out. I haven't heard anything there again. Next time I do, I'll record
it.

Let us know if you're still hearin' this one on your Kaito 1101, okay?

Will do! Am charging it up overnight, so I'll be testing it tonight . . .

Lisa,

On eham.net, you'll find that the first reviewer for the Grundig Mini
300 noted that his unit was "usually reading 5khz high across all of
the bands."

see: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4761

So, if the displayed frequency occasionally reads off by 5 kHz, it
could well be that your 15545 @ 20:15 sportscast was actually the 15540
kHz RPI program and your 7115 @ 03:22 actually R. Republica on 7110
kHz.

If this is the case, then you'll find that your new Kaito '1101, being
a PLL synthesized unit, will receive these transmissions 5 kHz lower
than what your Mini 300 was displaying.

Best of listening to you.

nothing on 7115 right now on the Kaito (1:17UTC) . . .

If you are right about this then Lisa could check her radio with WWV on
5 and 10 MHz and see if the time standards station is 5 KHz high.

Yes, that'd be a place to start. Of course, the eham reviewer's
wording did suggest that perhaps the radio was not always 5 kHz off in
the frequency displayed. Then, too, one might ask if there are degrees
to which various units might be afflicted with this sort of behavior.
In any case, now that she has the Degen, she can run them side-by-side
and get a better idea of the virtues and limitations of of both the
Mini and the Degen.

The radios filters may be a little wide. Listening carefully you can
move a frequency step in both directions and come to a consensus as to
whether WWV appears to be centered on 10 and 15 MHz by listening to how
the station sounds. The audio frequency response will change as you move
away to the actual transmitted frequency.

If the radio has 1 KHz increments you should be able to get an idea of
where WWV is centered on the right frequency. You might be able to do it
with 5 KHz increments.
