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
