Monday night LWBC, S. AZ |
|
Tuesday, January 15 2019
I have a 700' N/S longwire and a 900' E/W longwire that are my primary antennas. I get more local AC noise on the E/W wire and even though most LWBC is stronger on the E/W, the N/S wire has less noise and better overall S/N. When I lived in northeast Oregon I also had longwire antennas and would get LWBC; being much farther south here in AZ I never really expected to get much, and have been very pleased with what's been heard, especially this season. Several instances of 252 Algeria at "armchair copy" in AM sync mode, where normally the NDBs cause strong hets from the carriers, and the NDB idents themselves create "interference". (And I'm primarily an NDB DXer, but do like to hear any LWBC coming my way!)

In Victoria, rarely any LWBC action in comparison, I think I've only every heard 189 with audio, some years ago.ÂÂ How large is your longwire Steve?
Last few evenings have seen MW carriers seeming to be from the UK and Lithuania, a contrast to poor TP conditions.

LWBC got fairly decent later on this Monday evening. At around 06 utc: 171 poor (AM sync); 183 poor (AM sync); 189 very poor; 198 poor (AM sync); 216 very poor; 234 very poor; (243 hints); 252 medium (AM sync). MW only has 1089 with rapidly fading het not lasting long enough for any audio.

I'll need to talk to my neighbours about any equivalent here, hi. Are these Beverage antenna height, or higher?
Thanks. Nick At 19:38 2019-01-15, STEVE wrote: I have a 700' N/S longwire and a 900' E/W longwire that are my primary antennas.

Ultralight Radio Group Moves to Groups.io |

Tuesday, January 15 2019
Well done!
The writing has been on the wall for a long time - I managed to migrate 5 groups - it was pretty seamless at the time - but the Yahoo rulebook was constantly changing.
