What a night - must be amazing condition.This time with the directional EWE antenna again - as large as possible scaled for 300kHz...;-)

Some questionable decodes from West coast Canada (BC):

Anyway, great DX last night on 300kHz. The directivity of the EWE (although only 15db F/B ratio on 300kHz) is certainly very helpful here in Europe to dempen the European beacons on same frequency. Big difference to the vertical, which has often problems to decode correctly, due to strong european NDB carriers on the same freqeuncy.

At one time this morning Cape Norman, NL reaches S9+10db, just 10db lower than my strongest local DGPS transmitter (Gilze Rijen, 302khz about 150km from here) - Cape Norman can be heard as a local here all night with the large EWE (20m x 60m x20m between high trees)

Logs from 19h30utc to 7h30utc this morning:

DGPS / DGPS Logs from Belgium - nighttime 11/12th of Februar

« on: February 12, 2018, 1236 UTC »

Managed to get the 10.5m vertical connected with the broadband pre-amp
Also included a common-mode filter directly at behind the pre-amp.

After stopping the DGPS band recording, I realized, that only one, rather thin (half inch copper pipe of 1m) is not a real good RF-ground - so the vertical has no good counterpoise...

Does active antennas require good RF-ground?
Of coarse! The broadband pre-amp takes care of mainly broadband impedance matching without loading the voltage at the antenna too much (input impedance of 1MOhm or more!), so losses are very small.. HOWEVER !
Without good return pass (RF) for the RF-current of the vertical, the pre-amp will introduce a lot of noise, which comes from the antenna return currents flowing in anything, but in a good counterpoise (the fence nearby, the coax cables , anything which is metal, etc..). So to prevent this really uncontrolled situation, I installed today a radial system. This will be used for the recording of coming night!
One thing what I already at noontime realized: Local NDB's up to 300km are louder than before. Also the total efficiency of the antenna is higher - more antenna voltage. Even more...
So a real challenge for the pre-amp. So far I have not seen any IM-products at all, either IM2 (second order) nor IM3... incredible!
The mediumwave band produces -10dbm Signals almost on all frequencies - fortunately there is not real local station, as both France and dutch part of Belgium stopped mediumwave transmissions.

So it will be interesting, what happens with the radial system in place
I installed elevated radials - 10pcs of 10m long all arround the circle... so it would be a good 40m transmission vertical...

Here are the logs from last night, without the radial system (only ground rod) and with a good common-mode filer (100n caps to ground at antenna side plus 700uH common-mode choke in series on all cables):

Brazil could be true, as it is not a buzy frequency here in Europe:

DGPS / DGPS Logs from Belgium - nighttime 10/11th of Februar

« on: February 11, 2018, 2011 UTC »

Last night I tried my experimental Vertical on 300khz with a very high impedance amplifier directly at the feedpoint of the vertical. This is NOT a small whip (usual active antenna) but in my case it's a 10.5m "small whip"...
So lots of signals the amplifier needs to 'eat'...

The reason for the amplifier was mainly because I want to have the vertical really broadband from 100khz to 30Mhz ... on 20m amateur radio a full-size vertical dipole.

As the input impedance of the antenna amplifier is somewhere in 1-10MOhms for diffenrential mode AND common-mode some serious problems needed to solve:
- How to prevent common-mode noise to be amplified and interfere with "real signals".....
I had no direct answer, but just gave it a try.... so obviously there is headroom for improvement fighting the common-mode problem...

Fortunately, I am already working for a solution to get the vertical free of common-mode noise... but that will be for next night...

Online web-receiver in my garden

Here are my logs with just the vertical and the amp at the feedpoint - gain is about 15-18db... (depending on frequency) - so huge signals everywhere...;-)

DGPS / DGPS Logs from Belgium - nighttime 8/9th of Februar

« on: February 09, 2018, 1340 UTC »

For some experimentation, I tried a totally different antenna:
Instead of my usual large EWE to Northwest, this time it is a simple 10m vertical with step down transformer to 75Ohm Coax - very similar, than some people are calling Low-noise-vertical...
Well "low-noise' is rather relative - this vertical is no less noisier than any other antenna at the same place, however much weaker in signal output than my very large EWE.

But it is interesing to see, that station from South (Spain, France) as well as stations from Northeast (Scandinavia) are much more often decoded, than with the EWE, due to its pronounced directive pattern to Northwest (USA/CAN).

As a result the vertical has more qrm on the frequencies of the US-DGPS Beacons and also the beacons from Europe are much louder than from Northamerica - for transatlantic DX, the directive pattern is missing..

I did only have a few radials, however earth is not too bad here for verticals...

regards from Belgium,

Ulli, ON5KQ

my own online receiver in the garden...

Here are the logs with the 10m broadband vertical:

DGPS / Nice document about DGPS from Canadian coast guard

« on: February 07, 2018, 1412 UTC »

I found a nice document about DPGS on the Internet, issued by the Canadian coast guard:
http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/folios/00020/docs/primer-eng.pdf

How long I will need, until I have heard all DGPS-beacons from the East coast, mentioned in this document.... well... hurry up! Spring is coming soon....;-)

DGPS / DGPS Logs from Belgium - nighttime 6/7th of Februar

« on: February 07, 2018, 1004 UTC »

Hello,
another night with my experimental very large EWE, scaled for LW, as much as possible to increase the sensitivity. For sure it works better as my 170m Beverages

I deleted the obvious wrong decodes. (Strokes)
There seem to be a systematic fault with the many wrong decodes of the Japanese Ose Saki DGPS on the same frequency as the local dutch one. It seems, the Station ID (ID) is misunderstood with the ReflID number...

I am not sure about BOBO, MS - here are the decode times:

woensdag 7 februari 2018 01:53:15 woensdag 7 februari 2018 01:54:58
Could be possible! I will check with another DGPS decoder just this frequency at that time (Multipsk)

And here is the result list of about 10hours (21h utc 6th of Febr. to 8h utc this morning, 7th Febr.:

Longwave Loggings / NDB "LT" on 305kHz very loud last night in Belgium

« on: February 06, 2018, 0943 UTC »

Hi,
just newly registered from Belgium...

Here is my first NDB-log:
305kHz - LT, Alert Bay from very northern Canada...
oud here in Belgium
Almost all night 15db over noiselevel with peak of 20db S/N ratio at peaks.

26

DGPS / DPGS logs from Belgium, nighttime 5th to 6th of Febr 2018

« on: February 06, 2018, 0910 UTC »

Here are my reception reports from last night in Belgium
Reveiver: Elad FDM-S2
Antenna: Giant EWE to Northwest in semi-rural area

Note that there are some stations only decoded very few times. However I hardly have any possibility to veryfy the spots. On the other hand, I heard NDB "LT" on 305kHz very loud (15-20db signal to noise ratio) - so it is clear, that stations from 5000km away or more can be very loud here, if propagation is well...
I have no idea, if central and south America may be valid decodes... probably not... so please be careful!

Canadian stations were very loud here - VOCM on 590kHz was S9+20db sometimes last night!

Regards from Belgium!
Ulli, ON5KQ
