Title: Surprice Don on 40! Post by: pe1mph on April 04, 2023, 10:39:43 AM Hello AM Lovers,
This morning I were faling nearly from my chair... Just before 6 o'clock in the morning, I thought... 'Do I hear this good or am I dreaming...'? ??? Yes I were awake earlier... hi, hi... Around 05:50 hour Summertime by me.... thats 03:50 GMT time! And I heard Don K4KYV in AM on 7290 khz. With a weak to fair signal, the freq. were not complete free by me. I guess a BC station also using the same freq.? I hear only him, not the 2 other stations he were talking with. Perhaps 7295 khz is better during that time for us to receive AM. I heard Don 'talking and talking', but after 06:15 hour his signal were weaker. But still I could hear the most words from Don. Yes I were very surpriced to hear Don this morning on 40 meters in AM. :) I think the conditions were good, just like yesterday early in the morning. Around the same time I heard on 1620 Khz mediumwave: Radio Rebelde from Cuba! Oh by the way my receiver: Kenwood R 5000 Antenna: dipole 2x +/- 33 meters, N - S, connect with home made antenna-tuner to receiver. Next days I keep my 'ears & eyes' on 40 meters (7290 - 7295) between 05:50 - 06:20 (time by me). Perhaps I can receive again AM from the Usa...

Hi, hi.... ;D After Don I have heard no AM station again on 7290 (or 7295), But the Sun is comming.... I mean, conditions.... But, but.... This morning around 06.45 hour (by me) I could hear 'Bob and Gordon' on 3875! Not strong, but readable.... I keep my 'ears & eyes' next mornings on 40 meters. ;) Oh by the way, yesterday and this morning I heard... On 1660 khz: WGIT on mediumwave! See: https://farodesantidad.com/ But I am not sure, when conditions on mw are good... Evenso the conditions on 80 and 40 are good...

I heard them strapping into northwest Georgia well past 1:00 AM EDT, even with the intense thunderstorm activity. Some fine-tuning of the audio chain going on, and a valuable education on "supplement interactions". Thank you, gentlemen! Title: Re: Surprice Don on 40!

I listen shortly by a webreceiver in the Usa and I hear Tim (WA1HLR) on 7290 khz. But I could not heard him (and the other stations) (direct) by me. On my own receiver a very strong BC station on 7285 from China? Evenso I heard on 7290 a BC station.... But this early morning from 7285 - 7295 were totaly clean by me. :o Those BC stations from China (and Japan?) are not always on air. I am wondering if you (AM Lovers) in the Usa can evenso heard them? No, we may not use that freq., but it is nice to receive AM on 40 meters. I can tell you between 7,0 -7,2 MHz is very busy by ssb stations. Yes: K1KBW and W2GOR I heard Gordon mention he did go to bed. And breakfast time for me.... While I listened to them.... A Happy Easter for all AM Lovers! ;) Greetings, Henk / pe1mph |
