Questa mattina, andando a fare la spesa, l'ho provato camminando lungo un viale alberato di Como, ed anche se ero parzialmente circondato da palazzi, di cui alcuni in cemento armato, si è comportato degnamente. E' un po' sensibile alle spurie FM dei trasmettitori locali, per il resto non mi posso lamentare. E poi, se non avesse l'antennina, assomiglia tantissimo da lontano ad uno "smartofono"... oggetto che non comprerò mai... Ecco gli ascolti, tutti 3 Luglio con antennino telescopico del piccolo rx: AWR tx Nauen 15220kHz 0755UTC 55444 in arabo Radio France Internationale 15300kHz 0835UTC 55555 in FF Radio France Internationale 15320kHz 0840UTC 55555 in FF NHK World Radio 15290kHz 0844UTC 45444 in giapponese Voice of Turkey 13635kHz 0846UTC 45544 in turco Nel pomeriggio volevo provarlo in un parco ma un temporale ha guastato la festa. Ma come canta Fossati: "c'è tempo!" (Covid 19 permettendo) PS: ieri sera verso mezzanotte l'ho provato velocemente sulle onde medie: un po' debolino con la sua microscopica ferrite interna, più che sufficiente ma nulla di speciale dentro il loop passivo Tecsun AN100. Sulle FM non è male. Ma ripeto, NON mi interessano, troppe radio commerciali, pubblicità invadente e martellante, il fascino delle vere radio libere degli anni '70 era un'altra cosa... ora le trovi più facilmente sulle onde corte (su Ch292 ma non solo!) Infine: la spolettina accoppiatrice tra l'antenna MLA-30+ ed il ricevitore funziona benissimo con l'XHDATA D-808 che mal la tollerava collegata alla presa jack... sono felice di aver sposato questi due apparati elettronici! Ed intanto lo R-1000 è tornato a casa perfettamente riallineato e come nuovo! A presto Davide - IW2NZR

USA 17774.995 kHz KVOH noted on remote net in NJ US state and Edmonton
Alberta-CAN at 14.50 UT on July 3, S=6-7 or -85dBm.

Programm language is Spanish today.

(wb  df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 3)

USA   17775-, Sat May 30 at 1507 UT, still no signal from KVOH,so its only
airing of 'Wavescan' is missed again. I wonder what the problem be now,
same as before disabling it for a biweek until a biday revival,
or something new?
Or is there absolutely no propagation this early? Recheck at 1825 UT, now
it's on at S9-S6 but undermodulated. There is lots of sporadic E across
the eastern half of USA, very little across the western.
17775-, July 1 at 1442 UT at first no signal from KVOH but then a JBA
carrier; 1904 UT recheck, definitely on to S=9+20dB but undermodulated,
and in English! not Spanish, about God and COVID-19. May I suggest that
the Omnipotent one could eliminate it, poof! if enough believers beg
It to.
17775-, July 2 at 2000 UT, KVOH is on today but JBA with English and
Spanish IDs.
