7465 kHz BBC WS from Kvitsoy [Archive] - DRM Software Radio Forums

Reception was not really good. But many dropouts occured only because Dream does not support UEP with the current versions of FAAD2.

Hi all,

A first log on BBCWS 7465 kHz from Kvitsoy, not a good one in terms of reception. Signal was not weak but due to the big bitrate the audio decoding was not good. Oddly, the overall sound impression was over average, much better than anyone can realize looking at the log.

After transmission on 1296 kHz had ended, I tuned to 7465 kHz and found a strong signal.
Excellent result! 100%. I stopped logging shortly before 23:00 UTC to retune to the now DRM-free 1296 kHz channel in order to perhaps get some idea why I usually get an increase in SNR there shortly after 2300 UTC.
After I had returned to 7465 kHz later, transmission continued until about 23:09 UTC, again with 100% audio.

Kvitsoy looks like being a perfect TX site for my location.

Hi all,
here are my results of the complete 7 hours transmission, strong signal, long IR, signal was not synchronized with the signal from Rampisham, the dropouts at 1900 were caused by myself,
73, Simone

Very good reception. There were no audible dropouts, because UEP is working in the DRMSWR. Some UEP effects were audible.

@Roland you should update your drmtx.txt file from time to time. I added a lot of new frequencies recently.

Hi Carsten,

I had manually updated my old drmtx.txt file yesterday, but because the filename has been changed not long ago to drmtx.new and the old file is no longer used now (a fact, I already knew but had forgotten), it did not work and I did not check it after the change. I sometimes prefer to manually upgrade the file.

No fun this early evening.
Interference from both sides, and a fast and deep fading on the signal.

I think there is a transmitter problem. The whole spectrum is jumping quite strong, I don't thing that this is fading. Never saw this before.

Currently (21:09 UTC), Kvitsoy's signal is weak and there is very strong interference from an arabian station transmitting on 7460 kHz. The announcer is talking a lot about Magreb countries, I assume it is Radio Sahara.

I don't even get a constant station label from Kvitsoy.

Hi Roland & anyone else logging this freq. This frequency is meant to be from 16:00 -19:00 UTC but it seems sometimes it has been on longer than 19:00! Can you report on what happens tonight? I e mailed Norkring but they must all be in Berlin for IFA!

simone

01-09-2005, 19:22

Hi James,
they did not stop transmission at 1900 UTC as scheduled, it is still on now (2000 UTC) like the past days, whenever I tuned in, it lasted past local midnight (2200 UTC).
But reception is much better than yesterday, will post results later.
Simone

carknue

01-09-2005, 19:28

Hi James,

I think that it would be a good idea to extend this transmission until 23 UTC, because reception is much better than on 1296 khz. Got a stable 28-29 dB tonight.

jbriggs

01-09-2005, 20:00

I am at home now so I can't check the details, but I think this frequency is ony coodinated (at HFCC) until 20:00 UTC. But as it seems to work well later I will ask the BBC if they want to extend & if we can extend (coordinate) it at HFCC. In fact I think this is an out of band frequency.

carknue

A lot of TX breaks. Strong interference after 20:00 UTC. So maybe it is better to stop at 19 or 20 UTC. But the BBC should think about a solid 24 h coverage in central europe.

...good up here too, but ending up in a mere desaster at 18:45 UTC.

I would say good reception conditions for 7460 kHz except this akward noise coming from 5 kHz upwards :p

(Apparently that is Radio West Sahara interfering, although they tell you they broadcast on 7470 kHz)

73, Simone

The data service is carrying a prototype EPG. It consists of an MOT carousel carrying images, xml files and xsl stylesheets. Unfortunately we couldn't make it standards compliant in time for IFA/IBC so only a few receivers can decode it. If anyone wants to peek at it the proprietary content subtypes are as follows:

63 gzipped HTML
64 gzipped XML
65 gzipped XSL

Now the SDC is OK on 1296, we will be putting the same data stream on that transmission.

Hi all,
finally a signal this evening on this frequency after no transmissions on 7475 kHz and 9470 kHz earlier today, also this transmisssion started late.
Strong co-channel interference caused the bad results at 1700- 1730 despite a strong signal from Kvitsoy.

Driving from 48147 Muenster to 48712 Gescher with a stop in Nottuln via A1, A43, B525.
Although mono the BBC audio at higher bitrates sounds remarkably better than any other DRM signal on shortwave.
SNR seems to be TX limited with this transmission.

Hi all,
perfect results today, see attachment
Simone

18-04-2006, 22:05

A strong signal but also a large number of strange noise pulses that sounded like being caused by a thunderstorm when listened to on another receiver.
Not a good result.

Roland

DRM-OM

23-04-2006, 19:02

from 17:00 to 17:30, rest of the time good

dk8cb

23-04-2006, 22:52

A bit of interference.
The impulse response was interesting to watch as it often showed mostly two distinctive peaks with more or less equal amplitude about 1.3 ms apart, indicating two individual paths perhaps involving inonospheric layers at different heights, reflections at different geographical locations or perhaps multihop propagation.

Roland

simone

25-04-2006, 18:43

Hi all,
a weaker signal and some minor dropouts in the first hour of the log, then quite good until AM co-channel transmission (RS) started at 1700.

Hi all.

I tune in last 20min. off transmission from Kvissoy BBC WS. I have never record 0% CDA from signal strength S9 and antenna was dipole 2x20m 12 m up.

So this problem most com from SUN just new.

Pleas see my picture.

Hi all.

Today very good DRM signal from Kvitsoy.
Now also dipole for 7Mhz and S meter peak S9.

Hi all,
I hope for both stations that there will be an agreement with RS, not much decoding during the half hour with the collision

Hi all,
good apart from the problems at 1700- 1730
Simone

Andreas

07-05-2006, 18:11

Todays log: Generally good. As I couldn't see any interferers in the spectrum I guess dropouts were caused either by local electrical activities or by the signal simply becoming weak some times.
As I mentioned some times before I am rather in the target zone of Rampisham.

dk8cb

07-05-2006, 18:23

Just a short report, too much soccer for me after that.

Hi,

Just a short log, but I usually don't pick up these transmsissions from neighbouring Norway. This is the result just before close down at 17:58 UTC.

dk8cb

04-06-2006, 22:35

Kvitsoy's signal was a lot stronger here (by about 30dB) than 7320 kHz from Rampisham. There was also less interference from other stations on it, so the choice was easy.

Roland

dk8cb

06-06-2006, 00:11

There was a lot of interference today. I didn't have enough time to further investigate the causes.

Roland

Just want to inform you that Radio Sweden is leaving this channel
starting this Friday 7th of July. This took some time, sorry for the
inconvenience.

04-07-2006, 18:16

Hi Håkan,
that´s great news :)!
So here is hopefully one of the last reports with these "typical" results with the interference from 1700- 1730.
Simone

No transmission today :confused:
Simone

dk8cb

06-07-2006, 19:36

When I started logging, a thunderstrom was raging locally and there were many dropouts as a result. Reception improved when it drew away.

Also some interference still from Radio Sweden until 17:30 UTC.

Roland

simone

07-07-2006, 20:37

Not as strong as usual, but only a few minor dropouts without the interference from RS, no transmission today from RS as announced, thanks!
Simone

dk8cb

08-07-2006, 18:40

Now that Radio Sweden has left the frequency, BBC WS reception has finally become perfect from 17:00 to 17:30. I guess, reception of Radio Sweden will have improved as well.

Roland

Very strong signal, but interruptions every 30 minutes, navtex is an interesting feature:

dk8cb

15-08-2006, 11:39

TX breaks occured at quite regular intervals yesterday. There was also some interference during the latter part of my logging period.
The whole programme content was delayed by about 1.5 minutes as already observed on 9470 kHz.

Roland

dk8cb

15-08-2006, 18:02

Again, TX breaks occured at regular intervals as already encountered on 9470 kHz (it's the same TX and encoder anyway).
Audio was also delayed.

No report file since I forgot to switch logging on.

Roland

dk8cb

17-08-2006, 08:46

Apart from a lack of interference, the problems were the same as on 9470 kHz.

Roland

Simone

19-08-2006, 18:15

Bad results towards the end, weaker signal and rather long IR.
Simone

20-08-2006, 16:13

There was a period with strange interference perhaps from a data transmission.

Roland

simone

20-08-2006, 18:05

Some problems with interference, also a Tx problem.
Simone

simone

21-08-2006, 19:15

The Tx problem (as on 9470 kHz this morning) occured again a few times, no problem on 7320 kHz at the same time.
Simone

dk8cb

22-08-2006, 23:51

As on 9470 kHz, there were periods when an invalid MSC was transmitted.

The result was obtained running the DRMSWR on a Linux machine using the 'wine' Windows emulator and the OSS sound system. I have no idea if this caused the somewhat shaky plot but audio was ok to listen to. DRMcalc was also used with the help of the 'wine' emulator.

Roland

dk8cb

23-08-2006, 21:49

Still TX breaks and invalid MSC. :mad:

Roland

simone

24-08-2006, 18:30

24-08-2006, 18:35

25-09-2006, 18:41

Some Tx problems today (short breaks, carrier) causing dropouts.
Simone

dk8cb

01-10-2006, 18:22

After 9470 kHz, TX breaks continued on 7465 kHz.
There was also occasional interference. Not bad overall, though.

Roland

dk8cb

03-10-2006, 20:18

Solid reception.

Roland

dk8cb

07-10-2006, 15:05

Despite coming from the same modulator and most likely from the same transmitter, the signal on 7465 kHz did not show the frequent interruptions that plagued the transmission on 9470 kHz today.

Still only one service (@ 20.96 kbps) is being transmitted. Audio level on 7465 kHz is significantly higher than on 7320 kHz today.
