Some good - and maybe also some slightly embarrassing news regarding my band 2
noise problems.
OFCOM visited me earlier today, their fourth visit
no less! They couldn't have come at a better time too as my noise
was pushing two bars on the XDR. That's - enough to add an irritating
level of mush even to quite decent signals. However, it quickly became
clear that the noise was not coming from the direction of the
neighbours. It seemed to be coming from all around. After the
conducted some DFing with a very nice little Rhode & Schwarz
DFing loop antenna, the noise was traced to our own CCTV system.
Bugger! On disconnecting this, all was quiet and there was very
little noise across band 2 at all. It was almost 'DXpedition quiet',
even when beaming towards the neighbouring property. I could hear
lots of German stations via scatter right across the band, many at
armchair levels!
Embarrassed? Well, let's say I felt a little awkward, but thankfully
the OFCOM officials had seen the original problem for themselves during their first visit
when I had disconnected the entire power supply to the property and
they could clearly see the noise levels which were radiating from
the direction of our neighbours. There's no concrete evidence that the noise is coming from our neighbour's property, but it's certainly from that direction.
What I hadn't realised until today was that our CCTV system had
become noisier than it was a few weeks ago and it was this which had
been causing the recent increase in noise levels. The 'neighbourly'
noise must have been buried underneath the CCTV noise. Today though,
things were quieter than I have heard them in more than a year.
With the CCTV drive switched off I can still detect a little noise,
but it is far less severe. I don't expect it to last of course,
considering the nature of modern equipment and PSUs, but at least
the band is beautifully quiet at the moment.
Körner 9.2
While OFCOM were here, one of them asked about the gain figures on
my Körner 9.2 antenna. From memory I said something like 8dB or
more. They thought that was too high. Unknown to me at the time, one
of them connected the 9.2 to an expensive looking analyser test gear
thing and was checking the performance. He responded with a "wow"
and showed me the response curve across band 2, showing it to be at
least 8dB across the entire band, peaking around 8.5dB at 88.2 MHz.
I cannot remember the detail but I think he referred to 'dBd'. We
had a discussion about the antenna after this and my poor brain cell
became confused and fell over so I hope the facts here are correct.
What is clear is that this 9.2 antenna is an absolute beauty and I
cannot praise its performance highly enough. This is impressive when
you consider that the 9.2 is only a couple of inches longer than the
Triax FM5. Full credit to the designers.
Cheers
John

I had to miss the majority of this fairly lengthy opening to Spain but when I did get chance to listen I concentrated on the top of the band.
Unfortunately, I will have very little time, if any time at all, to DX for the rest of this week and next due to an impending marriage! I think this is a good reason ;O) I will be marrying Jane, a radio ham like myself, on the beach here in Skegness this coming weekend. Naturally we are hoping the weather will be kind to us and it looks fair at the moment, but our area never seems to agree with the local forecasts due to this coastline bowing out into the sea slightly. At least we aren't going to see the 35 degree temperatures that were originally forecast for this weekend. Phew! The DX will have to wait for a while now.
Good DX!

What lies beneath the noise?
I can only guess! Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot! There's no way of knowing while it's there.
This is a recording of my noise today.
https://app.box.com/s/99dd58gh1gnd8bdilq07
The recording is in three parts.
The first part demonstrates the noise with three recordings:
1. As it sounds at the top of the band (108.0 MHz).
2. At the bottom of the band (87.5 MHz), both with the aerial facing east.
3. Beaming south, away from my noise, tuned to 107.8 to demonstrate a weak station.
The second part of the recording is a quick comparison between 2 and 1.
The third part is a quick comparison between 2 and 3. This is the 'must hear'.
The band is still not entirely quiet in 3, but beaming south gives me my best chance of less noise. But even with 3, the difference between the relatively quieter noise level and the lask of noise I would expect on a DX trip in an electrically quiet location is very noticeable.
I can only dream of what it must be like to live in a perfectly electrically quiet location.

The midday opening on the OIRT band was the best I have experienced this season, lasting about three hours. It finished off with reception of a transmitter which was not keeping with the headings of the other DX at the time. Namely, the Izmayil transmitter of the Persha Programme on 72.53 MHz. I would have discounted this straight away because of the heading but the programming was clearly in parallel with the Persha Programme web stream where I heard what sounded like a play featuring a hysterical woman with high pitched yelling.
The evening had a brief but interesting opening to the Balkans before moving VERY swiftly into south-eastern Italy. It was as if somebody had thrown a switch, Italy was there in a flash. Algeria came in briefly half an hour later, then the north-west tip of Spain and northern Portugal appeared briefly an hour after that.
Good DX!

The midday opening on the OIRT band was the best I have experienced this season, lasting about three hours. It finished off with reception of a transmitter which was not keeping with the headings of the other DX at the time. Namely, the Izmayil transmitter of the Persha Programme on 72.53 MHz. I would have discounted this straight away because of the heading but the programming was clearly in parallel with the Persha Programme web stream where I heard what sounded like a play featuring a hysterical woman with high pitched yelling.
The evening had a brief but interesting opening to the Balkans before moving VERY swiftly into south-eastern Italy. It was as if somebody had thrown a switch, Italy was there in a flash. Algeria came in briefly half an hour later, then the north-west tip of Spain and northern Portugal appeared briefly an hour after that.
Good DX!

That was completely mad! 67 personal firsts! I thought I had moved to Sweden or Finland today. Poor old Belmont must have wondered what had hit it - yet again! 93.1 and 98.3 collapsed without me even needing to find the best null point for them. Not all signals were strong though and there was rapis fading here and there, making the RDS difficult, so web audio parallels were necessary. I would say that all channels were affected but a lot of signals got away.
Norway appeared shortly before 1200 but I had to make a trip into town. I think Vega and Gausta were in there, but with so many other low power relays sharing the frequencies it would be foolish to make guesses.

** Personal Skegness 'Firsts'
An interesting day of Es. Lots heard but the Es mostly only flirted with the bottom of band 2.
Like Janpeter, I also noticed a fair number of OIRT stations for which no web streams could be found. I too wondered if double hop was at play.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'Firsts'
An interesting day of Es. Lots heard but the Es mostly only flirted with the bottom of band 2.
Like Janpeter, I also noticed a fair number of OIRT stations for which no web streams could be found. I too wondered if double hop was at play.
Good DX!

I finally received Bressay today instead of the more regular Forfar.
Apart from Bressay breaking through, I was also extremely pleased to have received the Whitby relay of Yorkshire Coast Radio on 103.1. This transmitter is tucked away below the North Yorkshire Moors and wouldn't have stood any chance of getting out were it not for this evening's tropo. Having visited Whitby many times I knew how this transmitter just stood little or no chance of getting out, other than over water. Yorkshire Coast Radio from Oliver's Mount was RDSing with two bars at the time.
Es appeared around local midday but I had to leave them due to an emergency trip to the dentist. I would rather have stayed at home DXing, would you believe!!

The long hot summer of amazing DX continues with another excellent night of Danish tropo, plus a smattering of stations from northern Germany.
There were some Es too! Can it get any better than this?

** Personal Skegness 'Firsts'
I rarely beam north-west but, for the hell of it, I thought I'd give it a go and had a few pleasant surprises.
Come the late afternoon conditions were lifting very nicely to northern parts of Holland. By mid evening, conditions had moved south into Belgium and northern France. Then conditions dipped right down shortly after midnight, which is how they remain this morning.
Just one recording today. Radio 538 on 102.1, a frequency always occupied by Studio Brussel .... not yesterday evening it wasn't!

I rarely beam north-west but, for the hell of it, I thought I'd give it a go and had a few pleasant surprises.
Come the late afternoon conditions were lifting very nicely to northern parts of Holland. By mid evening, conditions had moved south into Belgium and northern France. Then conditions dipped right down shortly after midnight, which is how they remain this morning.
Just one recording today. Radio 538 on 102.1, a frequency always occupied by Studio Brussel .... not yesterday evening it wasn't!

The OIRT reception was brief and choppy. A few more stations were heard but they would typically fade before I got to the web parallel. It was a similar situation with the opening in the evening. Quite a few got away due to multiple sites on the same frequency. The Es cloud cluster was quite wide, resulting in quite a broad reception area.

Today saw the best SE European/Balkan opening of the season so far with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Spain! Yes ... Spain! I did not make a note of the frequency but I did hear one Spanish station very briefly when the opening was moving into south-east Italy. Greece may also have been present at one point.

** Personal Skegness 'First'
Today saw the best SE European/Balkan opening of the season so far with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Spain! Yes ... Spain! I did not make a note of the frequency but I did hear one Spanish station very briefly when the opening was moving into south-east Italy. Greece may also have been present at one point.
