Radio & Communication MW

Finalmente siamo riusciti a fare la terza ARI Milano DX night, nella notte tra sabato 26 e domenica 27. Eravamo solo in 5: Giulio Fiocchi (segretario della sezione ARI Milano), Dario Monferini (DX editor di PlayDX), Enrico Guindani, Mauro Giroletti e Giampiero Bernardini. La propagazione non ci ha assistito molto, anche si in onde lunghe non sono mancati i radiofari. In compenso la tavola era ben fornita: focacce, panettone, dolcetti fatti dalla signora Guindani.
Giulio si è dedicato a visitare via internet i ricevitori sparsi per l’Europa sintonizzati sui 500 kHz per verificare dove e come si riceve il beacon della sezione IQ2MI. Enrico invece ha spazzolato con ferrea volontà le onde lunghe a caccia di NDB con il suo Icom R-75 attaccato alla windom lunga 40 metri. Dario, Mauro e Giampiero si sono dedicati alle medie e corte con l’SDR-IQ, l’Excalibur Pro G33DDC e l’ultimo arrivato in sezione: il Kenwood ts-590. Poi pubblicheremo i log.

Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di provare la direttiva 2 elementi per i 40 metri da poco rimessa a lucido. In effetti sulle band BC dei 6 e 7 Mhz funziona. Nel senso che pulisce molto la banda. Il rumore di fondo cala molto, molte schifezze spariscono e le stazioni sono quindi più pulite. Lo Sri Lanka sui 7189.8 kHz, in banda radioamatoriale, arrivava perfettamente, così come Bangkok Meteo sui 6 MHz . Come potete vedere questa volta non abbiamo fatto foto. Ce ne siamo dimenticati. Eppoi siamo brutti.

Di seguito gli ascolti NDB di Enrico Guindani, iz2xnf, che ha tirato fuori 78 radiofari (21 new one) da 16 country (4 new one) senza utilizzare filtri stretti.

Eccomi di ritorno da BOC 26, ovvero l'edizione numero 26 delle Bocca di Magra DX nights con Dario Monferini. Propagazione così così. Col SFI tendenzialmente al ribasso, salvo una notte che infatti ha visto arrivare piuttosto bene Radio Puerto Cabello dal Venezuela.




Da notare il segnale chiaro e pulito del beacon dell'ARI Milano (la mia sezione) su 501.306 kHz

RTM Marocco è di nuovo fuori frequenza su 595, permettendo così l'ascolto della Nigeria e del Portogallo su 594

Labels: ARI MIlano, BOC 26, Onde medie

La sezione ARI di Milano, di cui sono onorato socio (non so però quanto siano onorati loro di avermi tra i piedi, HI), ha ottenuto la licenza temporanea per un beacon sulla banda dei 600 metri in Onde Medie, frequenza 501.306 kHz. E' stata installata un'antenna a T tra due torri del complesso scolastico che ospita l'ARI. Il trasmettitore ha una potenza di 0,4 watt. Il messaggio "de IQ2MI JN45NL" viene irradiato in CW seguito da "IQ2MI JN45NL" in QRSS 3 con una potenza erp di 20/25 milliwat. L'orario è dalle 17 alle 06 UTC.

(cliccare sulla foto per ingrandire)

Al momento sono arrivati diversi rapporti d'ascolto, una trentina, anche dall'estero: Olanda, Germania, Finlandia, Belgio, Repubblica Ceca...

Il progetto prevede l'aumento della potenza fino a 1 watt erp; fare QSO sui 500 kHz e/o cross band con gli 80 metri; utilizzare sistemi digitali

Rapporti di ascolto sono graditi a info(-at-)arimi.it

Certo le emittenti brasiliane, americane e canadesi sono più interessanti. Ma a mio avviso anche il DXing domestico ha il suo fascino. Tra l'altro chissà ancora per quanto tempo potremo andare a caccia dei servizi regionali considerate le pessime condizioni economiche in cui è ridotta la RAI. C'è infatti chi pensa alla chiusura delle onde medie. Che invece, è una mia opinione, potrebbero essere usate per i servizi regionali con orari diurni ridotti. Ma servirebbe un po' di fantasia e un po' di coerenza con le tante parole spese sul federalismo e sul regionalismo. Quindi dubito che la cosa si possa fare. Intanto ascoltiamo senza dimenticare di usare il loop. Questi sono ascolti fatti a Bocca di Magra in occasione di BOC 25 DX Nights con Dario Monferini.

Qualche ascolto in onde medie, tra la Liguria e la Toscana. Purtroppo è già un po' che non riesco a imbroccare il momento giusto per le MW nordamericane o sudamericane. Comunque l'importante è insistere.

Sono stato qualche giorno a Bocca di Magra con l'amico Dario Monferini per le nostre solite BOC DX Nights, la numero 25. Naturalmente ci siamo beccati una bella tempesta tropicale, domenica. Acqua, fulmini e saette in gran quantità. E tempo brutto fino a lunedì (foto a sinistra). Comunque qualche ascolto lo abbiamo fatto grazie ai 2 SDR in funzione: SDR-IQ e Perseus. In quanto alle antenne oltre al solito loop Wellbrook LFL 1010 abbiamo anche usato la MaxiWhip, realizzata con un filo di 7 metri messo un po' sloper. Devo dire che ha dato buoni risultati. Ma ne parlerò in un altro post.

Alcuni ascolti in onde corte li potete trovare sul mio blog SW

Qui invece propongo qualche ascolto in onde medie. Qualche curiosità e un po' di DX. Da notare che finalmente è ricomparsa l'India sui 1566 kHz. E poi la Cina su 1521 kHz. Era tempo che non le ricevevo. Diversi segnali dall'Iran e dall'Africa. Anche l'Angola su 1088 (arrivava anche con la MaxiWhip)

Alba a Bocca di Magra, aspettando il Nord America in onde medie

Continua la carica delle stazioni private in onde medie. La situazione al momento appare caotica. Non tutte le frequenze sono attive secondo un orario definito e "consolidato". C'è chi accende e chi spenge a piacere. Molte emittenti provano un giorno e restano silenti per altri 20. Altre ritrasmettono programmi anche di emittenti straniere, VOA e Voce della Russia comprese. Per questo mi pare importante che chi può faccia monitoraggio sulle onde medie e segnali le novità.

Ecco un elenco delle emittenti più o meno attive ricavate da diverse fonti(senza pretesa di completezza):

1071 Radiomarina, Veneto
1233 Media Veneta Radio, Piove di Sacco (PD)
1368 Challenger Radio (la sera IRRS Gospel in English // 1566 Roma), Villa Estense (PD)
1485 Broadcast Italia, Roma
1503 Onda Media Broadcast, Piove di Sacco (PD), id: “Per Padova sui 1503 kHz”
1503 Radio Poggio Lupo Catania OFF
1512 Onda Media Broadcast, San Pietro in Casale (BO)
1566 Radio Kolbe, Padova
1566 Challenger Radio, Roma //1368
1584 Radio Studio X, test con musica e studio DX
1584 Radio Verona, off
1593 Radio Gold Italia Messina test

Un grazie ad Alessandro Capra, che da casa e quando si sposta in auto controlla sempre le frequenze.

La QSL è del DXer Roberto Rizzardi dal blog Diario Radio

Piccolo monitoraggio in onde medie di Alessandro Capra, con l’autoradio in Veneto, tra Verona e Padova, stamani 31 agosto

1233 Media Veneta Radio, OFF was on air on 28/8

1503 Onda Media Broadcast, Piove di Sacco (PD), with local announcement “Per Padova sui 1503 kHz”, weak signal

1566 Radio Kolbe, good signal

1584 Radio Verona OFF, canale assolutamente libero

Propagazione aperta sulle onde medie verso l’Africa domenica 14 agosto. Ecco qualche ascolto fatto a Bocca di Magra con il portatile Eton e1 e il loop LFL 1010 della Wellbrook.

kHz UTC radio details

Alessandro Capra, che aveva segnalato Radio Kolbe attiva sui 1566 kHz segnala che la radio ha confermato, via e-mail, le prove tecniche partite il 4 luglio sulla frequenza dei 1566 khz. IL rapporto è stato inviato via e-mail utilizzando l'indirizzo "contatti" del loro sito, scegliendo l'opzione servizio tecnico. Ha risposto Alberto De Pretto, responsabile tecnico, mail alberto(-at-)depretto.it E' un OM: IW3iji - Per ora utilizzano 500 watt

Radio Kolbe è di nuovo attiva in onde medie su 1566 kHz

Me lo ha appena segnalato Alessandro Capra. La si riceve con l’autoradio sull’autostrada A4 tra Vicenza e Verona. Alle ore 1620 locali di oggi 8 luglio trasmetteva il Rosario in italiano. Il dato corrispondeva con il sito della radio che dava in trasmissione il rosario (misteri dolorosi).

I 1368 kHz invece appaiono spenti

Ancora una volta Kaduna, Nigeria, fortissima su 594 kHz. In Parallelo con 6090 kHz, ma decisamento meglio in onde medie! Marocco sempre fuori frequenza sui 595 kHz. Il tutto a Bocca di Magra con il Perseus e l'Eton E1

(Il loop della Wellbrook, sopra la direttiva FM - foto by dxer Marzio Vizzoni)

Nonostante la propagazione scarsa e deludente, a Bocca di Magra Dario e io abbiamo avuto anche qualche sorpresa. In particolare una: la stazione Jigawa BC dalla Nigeria su 1026 kHz. E' successo poco dopo il tramonto. Invece della Spagna, come Dario si aspettava, arrivava un programma in lingua chiaramente africana. Segnale forte, pulito, stabile. Ci siamo messi ad ascoltare: era la Nigeria. Ci siamo ricordati che in passato questa stazione era stata segnalata da Luca Botto Fiora, sempre dalla Liguria. Un ascolto raro, che richiede condizioni particolari di propagazione, oltra al loop puntato a sud.

Qualche sera prima abbiamo anche ascoltato molto bene per una decina di minuti l'Angola su 1088 kHz.

Ecco alcune stazioni africane ricevute durante BOC 24 DX Nights

594 21/5 1920 Kaduna, Nigeria, songs, good Morocco now on 595.55 not stable. Morocco off frequency again of about 1,5 kHz

675 215 1948 Radio Free Libya, Benghazi, slow modern arabic songs, good

917 21/5 2242 Radio Gotel, Yola, Nigeria, nice songs and talks, Vernacular, fair in LSB

+++ 1026 25/5 1910 Jigawa Bc, Nigeria, long talks in Hausa (pres) mentioning Nigeria. Good

1088 215 1941 RNA, Angola, talks in PP, fair good for some minutes

1485 21/5 2100 Gran Mix: 5 carriers and DRM !

1530 21/5 2043 VOA, Sao Tome, talks in English about music and African songs, some QRM from Romania when fading down, good

1550 21/5 2040 RASD Radio, via Algeria, talks, Arabic, QRM 1548, weak

1566 21/5 2036 TWR, Parakou, Benin, talks in Vernacular & French later, fair
