Radio & Communication MW

Onde Medie pazze nei giorni scorsi. Il sole si è agitato e ha provocato un "botto" propagativo. Per cui ci sono stati un paio di giorni particolarmente favorevoli ai segnali americani tra i 1100 e i 1700 kHz.

Quasi tutte le emittenti ricevibili erano concentrate tra la costa Nord-Est degli Stati Uniti e l'Ontario (Canada).

In particolare arrivavano bene alcune stazioni da Ottawa e dintorni. In svariati casi la ricezione era quasi da stazione locale. Anche su 1350 kHz c'erano delle radio USA, ma non sono riuscito a identificarne nessuna. Come su altre frequenze si trattava di emittenti di potenza limitata che si mischiavano tra loro, in un fading continuo. Occorre molta pazienza per riascoltare le registrazioni SDR, ma non sempre basta.

E' proprio il caso di riprendere ad ascoltare le onde medie
