Content is CVC International English playing out live from our QLD, Australia studios.

Please post reception comments etc. here.

After IBC, i.e. from 14th September, the hour-long transmission to UK will continue on this frequency between 1000-1100 UTC.


Thanks

Andrew

[simone]

Hi Andrew,
strong and stable signal here in the Netherlands (near Groningen), perfect reception after propagation conditions were back to normal after 1030.
73, Simone

[FritzWue]

Two dropouts, reason unknown, otherwise OK:

[FritzWue]

A little trip to the local waste disposal and back with CVC after cleaning the garage.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Not a good result. Interference both sides of spectrum.

Hi Andrew, James,
today I could not get a signal on CVC and talksport, are there still transmissions from Moosbrunn and were conditions just bad? Last weekend I could still receive both, although I think originally they had only been announced until mid Sept.
Thanks, Simone

[Digger]

Hi all,

A short ;) report from the transmission today. I was not present and have no idea what happened. The first 15 minutes were OK.

Upon return at 1120 UTC, I must congratulate the French speaking Broadcaster on 11830 kHz to their devastating modulation which splatters ±30 kHz up and down.

Hi Terje,

from information found on the internet, this should be Radio Romania Int'l transmitting on 11830 kHz to Europe from 1100 to 1200 UTC.

Roland

[Digger]

Hi Roland,

Yes, I heard the Station ID later, thanks for your confirmation. Could be interesting to check it out with two receivers again today. CVC is just about to commence broadcasting in a few minutes.

Terje


PS: Hm, they seem to have the RTL syndrome today - 2 seconds DRM, 2 seconds CW etc. etc.:confused:
A log is included

[simone]

Hi all,
a weak signal and some interferences, but not too bad for not being in the target area, hope it works better in the UK.
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
pretty good results in the last 20min, see attachment
Simone

[Digger]

Hi,

No luck with AM on ±5 kHz :(


Terje

[simone]

Hi all,
today the carrier problem occured quite often in the first half hour, making it impossible to receive the dataservice (logo), as this requires more than 3min without interruption :(, see attachment
Simone

[simone]

... but the last 20min were quite good again :)
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
strong signal today, all dips caused by the carrier problem.
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
rather good results today (for not being in the target area), not sure what caused the big dropout, see attachment
Simone

[carknue]

Good start, but still TX interruptions with AM carrier. I really wonder if they ever solve this problem. After 15 min, the signal dropped to no audio.

[simone]

Hi all,
similar to the results I got the past weeks on 9760 kHz
Simone

[Andreas]

Unstable signal, also strong co-channel interference from + 5kHz
(BBC WS 11820 kHz from Cyprus). So only for short periods really a pleasure to listen to.

[simone]

Hi all,
after several days with bad conditions better results today, except the first 15 min.
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
a weak signal at the beginning, got stronger after the first 15min.
Simone

[FritzWue]

Driving from 49074 Osnabrueck to 49477 Ibbenbueren.
SNR was rising when leaving Osnabrueck but still quite low on the A30.

[simone]

Hi all,
only a weak signal, but at least some audio decoding after many days with no audio decoding at all, btw audio quality could be better with this configuration.
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
good results in the first half, then signal got weaker.
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
started quite good, but a weak signal in the second half hour
Simone

[simone]

Hi all,
better conditions today, quite good results for 50min
Simone

[Sixten]

Hi all.

Log from today ,very fine signal strog and stabil.

Not QSB not QRM .
:)

[jbriggs]

Very good results from Rampisham

[simone]

Also good results at least for the first 45min here in Germany today
Simone

[simone]

Seems transmission started a few minutes late.
Simone

[simone]

Very good results today, dropout at 1006 maybe Tx related?
Simone

[simone]

Not bad, apart from a weak signal in the first 10 min.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A bit better during the first half then bad due to interference.

John.

[simone]

Perfect decoding today, strong signal and also no "Tx related" dropouts!
Simone

[jbriggs]

Hi Simone, since Thursday the transmitter site at Moosbrunn have a local contentserver and use local audio feeds from satellite, so I hope there will not be any further "Tx related" dropouts. The audio level is too low it will be fixed next week. Yesterday there was a big difference in audio level between Moosbrunn and Juelich listening to the same programme in London, but great to have the same programme on 2 different frequencies. It would be great to get Juelich and Moosbrunn operating a synchronised MFN to the UK, I will look into how we can do that.
James

[simone]

Hi James,all,
the local content server really seems to be a big improvement concerning reliability of the datastream, again perfect decoding today! Also quite good conditions these days, strong and stable signal, good SNR for this transmission using the DWT.
Simone

[simone]

A few minor dropouts due to a weaker signal but no more datastream problems :)
Simone

[simone]

Perfect decoding although signal strength varied a lot.
Simone

[simone]

Strong and stable signal today, again perfect results.
Simone

[jbriggs]

Hi Simone,
I also listened today in Bournmouth on the south coast of the UK using a Roberts MP40 both in the car and also at a large Hotel, great reception.
James

[simone]

Great results again today.
Simone

[simone]

Pretty good results again today, but signal got weaker in the last 15min.
@ James: Maybe a few dB more can be added to the audio levels, although since Friday it is not a big problem for listening anymore (even on my laptop;))
Simone

[simone]

Great conditions today from Moosbrunn.
Simone

[simone]

Good results in the car today driving home from Belgium.
Simone

[simone]

Strong and stable signal, nearly perfect results again today.
Simone

[simone]

Great results again today.
Simone

[simone]

Perfect results again today, also no problem using the MP40/ DE31 antenna indoors.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Not a good result due to DRMedge interference.

John.

[simone]

A few dropouts in the first 10min, then perfect.
Simone

[simone]

Great results again today (graph incl. signal strength).
Simone

[Jos]

Hi all,

Quite good .

Jos.

[simone]

Perfect results again today.
Simone

[simone]

No problems today, strong signal.
Simone

[simone]

Only a weak signal here today.
Simone

[simone]

Not as good as it used to be, a weak signal in the second half.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

In spite of the strong QRM and average signal the result was rather good.

John.

[simone]

Back to normal, after some days with a weaker signal last week.
Simone

[simone]

Strong signal, excellent results today!
Simone

[FritzWue]

Strong signal, limited snr:

[simone]

Just like yesterday, strong signal and perfect results.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A rather weak but stable signal and inspite the DRM edge QRM it gave this short but perfect result.

John.

[simone]

After a few days with bad conditions, quite good results again today.
Simone

[simone]

A weak signal in the first 20 minutes, quite good later.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

In the presence of permanent heavy DRM right-edge QRM this is a very good result.

John.

[simone]

Only a weak signal these days, bad results in the car today :mad:
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A rather good result today [98.92% CDA]. The signal strength was 40~50 dBuV and very stable. Only the permanent interference [about 15~20 db over DRM] affected the result. The IR seems to have two close peaks.

John.

[simone]

After about 2 weeks with only a weak signal on this transmission perfect results today :)
Simone

[simone]

Pretty good results again today.
Simone

[simone]

Only a weak signal today, hope it works better in the main target area.
Simone

Better than then past days.
Simone

[Sixten]

Hi.

Log today.

[simone]

Good results only for about 30min in the middle.

Hi all,

With the QRM always present I didn't expect a better result.

John.

[simone]

Rather good results today.
Simone

Great results today.
Simone

[simone]

Some weaker periods today.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good to nearly excellent result.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A perfect result until 10:55 when the signal dropped too much.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A weaker signal today gave a perfect result until 10:42, then the signal dropped more and the QRM affected the decoding.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Similar result like the yesterday's one.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A better result today.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result until QRM started and caused decoding problems.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Except of two dropouts due to QRM the rest was perfect.

[drmdab]

Good results today, sorry, no log.

At 10.58 UTC label (and audio) changed into "BelRTL" in French but this transmission stopped at 11.00. :confused:

[Per]

Hi,

Just a short 11 minutes of listening; 10:48 until close down @ 10:59 in a middle of a song.

[simone]

A rather weak signal, results improved in the second half.
Simone

[simone]

Perfect decoding in the second half despite large variations in SNR/ signal strength.
Simone

[cbonnerup]

Hello,

...about 90% decode here in Greenville, NC, USA. Nice to have another station here in the 'outback' of DRM!

Excellent results today, I guess my best log on this transmission so far :)
Simone

[simone]

Quite good for the first 45 minutes.

Hi all,

A log with a problematic result due to QRM.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A perfect result up to 10:32, then a problematic result due to co-channel QRM, as seen in the log file.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A nearly excellent result except of the severe decoding problems due to co-channel QRM.

Hi all,

Well, SQ: 99.95%.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Except of a 10 mins period of bad results from unknown reason the rest was SQ: ~99.00%

[markp]

Perfect report from the intended target area (27). Interesting that it is flagged as Mode A.

[andimik]

Why "flagged"? This is Mode A.

[simone]

Started quite good, then condition got worse.
They have been using mode A for a long time on this and other transmissions from Moosbrunn, seems to work pretty good.
Simone

[markp]

Why "flagged"? This is Mode A.

Of course. Computers are perfect and never get anything wrong.

[simone]

Great results today.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Being in the back lobe, the signal strength, fading and strong QRM play an important role in DRM results. althought sometimes I report great results on this frequency, take a look at the attachment.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

No QRM today but with some decoding problems, SQ: > 99 %.

Better conditions than for the last 3 weeks, when I hardly got any audio decoded.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Although my area is behind the main beam, I listen to this TX because most of the times it comes loud and clear. To day after 10:28 QRM started which caused a lot of dropouts even when the SNR was 27 - 28 dB. SQ: 96.68%.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A better result today athough there was QRM. SQ: 99.69%.
