** Personal Skegness 'First'
I re-built my flag yesterday, with one or two minor modifications,
paying particular attention to keeping the two vertical wires as
straight and vertical as possible. It seems to have paid off too
with some very deep nulls. The direction is currently 350 degrees.
I was surprised to hear how clean the band was too, despite the
antenna pointing to the south-west corner of the bungalow. The last
three seasons here saw S9+10dB of noise across the whole MW. This
time it's barely detectable with a noise floor of -120dB. I still
found that sticking a couple of chokes inline made a small
improvement, removing a little bit of that background 'growl' and
eliminating the need for additional noise filtering for the first
time.
Conditions were better than I had expected and the whole band was
alive with TA signals, extending as far west as Wisconsin with a
tentative WNAM on 1280 with ABC News.
I downloaded the latest version of HDSDR and found I could hear more
IDs with its cleaner audio than with Perseus. I wish it were
possible to loop the playback on HDSDR though - the one really
useful thing that's missing.
Notes:
Chicago was in on 780, 890 and 1000 though they weren't logged as I
didn't catch any IDs. The respective formats would have been correct
though.
There was a second English station on 1130 shortly before 0500.
Maybe KWKH judging by the conditions.
Perhaps that's KDHL I am hearing on 920 at 0500 - it's very weak.
1040 had a newstalk station at 0430, presumably WHO. Not bad going
considering the conditions!
Even 1230 is producing audio!
There was so much more too. It's all nice and early in the season
and I don't think conditions were generally regarded as being
anything great either, going by other DXer's reports.
As last year, I will log all TA stations I hear in order to build a
complete logbook, though I will only log the common east coasters
once.
Good DX!
