Title: AM heard on 40 mtrs! Post by: pe1mph on March 11, 2023, 10:44:32 AM Hello AM Lovers,
Sometimes I listen (very short) in the night in our livingroom or kitchen. Then I monitor some bands, perhaps I can receive AM stations... This morning I listen to a webreceiver in our kitchen, with my mobile phone. From AM-lover pa3hdm, he lives close to my qth (Triemen: south of Dokkum) I thought: I listen by him, if he can receive AM from the USA / Canada? While I drink tea in our livingroom, I listen to: http://212.52.246.172:8073/ © bluebison.net KiwiSDR: Software-defined receiver Dokkum | Grid j033bg, ASL 6, [map], SNR 19:19 dB Antenna: MFJ 1886 loop I heard on his webreceiver, time (by me) +/- 05.45 hour): - nothing on 160 meters in AM - weak stations on 3875 and 3885 - 2 stations on 7294 khz I listen to 7294 khz ? and I heard Don and Chuck talking!! But I were just awake, so I am not 100% sure about 7284. ;) Not strong signals, but audible. For me a big surprice to hear AM on 40 meters. Long, long ago I have heard Tim WA1HLR on 7290 khz. First I drink my cup of tea and then I walk easy to our livingroom. Perhaps I can receive both stations (Don and Chuck) on my radio. :) I did the radio on and 'turning the knob' with the Memory.... Yes 7290 is standing under Memory from the Kenwood R 5000. But..... I heard only a few seconds from one of the 2..... :'( I think both were going to bed.... Ofcourse I wait, maybe another station comming... But nothing on 7294 khz and the freq. were complete free! Evenso I had no local noise on my receiver. A pity for me, I decided to go to the shower. Perhaps I have a next time more luck... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh by the way, later in the morning I heard... Very, very weak carriers on 1885 khz. No audio, signals to weak for me. And yes I know some were on 1885, by listening to an USA webreceiver. And again later I heard by me 2 stations weak on 3875, but to weak to hear calls. Oh and later in the morning (+/- 08.00 hour by me) I listen to mediumwave. I were standing short outside with my XHDATA and mini loopant. Not to long because it were cold.... >:( I hear BC stations on: 590, 930, 1690 khz from Canada 1010, 1130 khz from Usa And, and.... From the middle of The Netherlands is legal transmitting: Europa Radio on 6130 khz. Perhaps you can receive this station, reports can you sent to: Radioeuropa@hotmail.com So thats all for now, Henk / PE1MPH Dokkum / The Netherlands Title: Re: AM heard on 40 mtrs! Post by: pe1mph on March 18, 2023, 09:49:23 PM Hello Am lovers,
Now I am sitting in our livingroom. Time by me now: 02:40 in the morning. Just I heard a station on: 7295 khz He did CQ some times in AM! I think his call is: K2DLF I am not sure, because many splattering from BC stations near 7295 khz, from a strong Chinese? station on 7290. Evenso a BC station on 7300, but not so strong... And lower, around 7280 I have a big locale noise... There I can hear nobody... While I type this, I hear the man not calling again... Oh by the way... I were so surpriced to hear him calling... Hi hi I were to late to get his call by a webreceiver! Greetings, Henk / pe1mph Dokkum / The Netherlands Title: Re: AM heard on 40 mtrs!

Title: Re: AM heard on 40 mtrs! Post by: pe1mph on March 19, 2023, 10:39:12 AM it was kd2alf Thanks!!! Sorry, I could not clearly hear his call. And I were a little surpriced.... I heard him a few time saying CQ CQ. Later I heard on an USA webreceiver Don talking around 7285. But a pity on my receiver locale noice..... I keep my 'ears & eyes' evenso on that part of 40 mtrs. We may not use that part of 40, but I can always give info on this Forum.... :) Greetings, Henk / pe1mph Dokkum / The Netherlands |
