MW Loggings / Re: Transatlantic MW season begins

Of course last night was poor. Around 21 UTC a flare effect arrived (again) and Kyoto DST dropped during night down to -37, directing MW signal path to somewhere near Venezuela and the few signals were fuzzy and weak.
Nothing to tell to grandchildren.

MW Loggings / Transatlantic MW season begins
« on: September 18, 2014, 1106 UTC »
The overflow of protons by latest solar eruption has settled down and band has recovered. Some catches from last night:

590 VOCM St.John's
930 CJYQ St.John's, id still "Newfoundland Labrador"
1010 WINS NY
1030 WBZ Boston
1060 WQOM Natick
1130 Bloomberg NY
1200 Bloomberg Boston
1310 CIWW Ottawa
1370 sports station number 19826, Pittsburgh Pirates playing
1390 WEGP Presque Isle
1400 CBG Gander
1470 WLAM Lewiston
1480 WMDD PR
1510 WUFC Boston
1560 Disney NY
1600 WUNR Brookline
1610 Caribbean Beacon with everlasting Melissa Scott
1620 Rebelde
1650 CJRS Montreal
1660 WGIT PR

All the regulars, nothing really interesting, except 1060 WQOM. It hasn't been most usual before. They have done something new with their station. Signal was so loud. New pattern?

It is very probable that next night will offer all these same, and maybe more. As it works other way around too, there should be an opportunity to listen to Europeans in NA.

Equipment / Re: I finally put up a Beverage antenna

I'm not surprised at all. Best reception I have had with Irish church/parish radios on 27 MHz was with 500 metres long beverage as an antenna.

During Mind Games I heard signal with 1 British receiver, 1 German receiver - and 1 Finnish receiver!! So these are the extreme storm conditions, eh?

I wouldn't have even been here if I hadn't had a sudden headache strike in the middle of night.  :P

On the other hand, absolutely nothing from OTR 3205, or 6930 LSB. I go back to bed...

In a nutshell, what is single side band?

I looked Wikipedia article on topic, right, I wouldn't get that either, if it was the only source.

In nutshell: using SSB makes possible to separate two different transmissions in the frequency space that one AM signal uses. AM uses both sidebands, SSB only lower or upper, that's why it's called single.

What one need to know: broadcast radio uses AM. Shortwave Maritime radio, air volmets and radio amateurs use ssb. Under 10 MHz amateurs use LSB, over 10 MHz USB. From the point of view of listener this information is enough to select a right button.

Decades ago (sorry...) there were experiments by Radio Sweden and HCJB among others to transmit programmes on SSB, but it never became popular as average portables of the time didn't have ssb feature.
