MW Loggings / Re: MW antenna ideas

« on: January 06, 2016, 0101 UTC »

Also here is another question, I did a random wire test today and actually the Antron 99 performed so much better then the long wire antenna. Not as noisy!!! Ok so here's the question lol, what can I do to make the reception even better on my Antron? RF Tuners, additional ground plane kit etc?

Phase it against another one to steer nulls.

Just heard something here, strong signal, maybe a Michael Jackson song, but off abruptly seconds after discovering it.

Thumping beats here as well, S5 or so.  Looks like it came on around 2108 UTC.

Weak carrier first noticed at 1240 UTC, big jump in signal strength at 1244 UTC but still no audio.  Music track then played at 1256 UTC followed by a big signal drop and eventually into the OTR drama.  Signal ranged from S4 to S9.

Sorry Sluwe, not even a carrier detected here right now at 1242 UTC, but the sun hasn't even risen here yet.  I'll check back later if you're still around.  Thanks!

S5 here with Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" then off at 1945.  AM carrier noted here off and on before the music came on, someone testing and tuning I assume..

2000 UTC: Presumed back with dead carrier and then California Dreaming, dead carrier but reduced signal strength at 2002 UTC.
