I wonder why they don't simulcast the DW news programme in German and English on the same channel. With proper configuration(CELP+SBR),they could service the whole European and Asian continents without any significant increase in cost.

BTW, please inform your technical staff to check the satellite dish orientation for your AM shortwave transmission on 15595kHz starting at 00:00 UTC. The constant digital drop-outs is really a nuisance!!!

Hi,

Strange conds today. A few minutes of excellent SNR, then down...
Even DW suffered: 72.5 % CDA. Time: 11:26 - 12:14 utc.

I wonder if those almost equidistant little dips caused by SDC and MSC CRC errors were coder/TX related.
I could see no correlation with the propagation conditions here.

Hi Fritz,
I don´t think your dips were encoder related, but I was using a different version of Dream.

Hi Simone,

I had a closer look at your log and the strange thing is that the "dips" are in there too! :confused:
I marked them in the attached file.

Unattended log with fixed receiver gain, looks as if signal was fading out after 15:00 UTC.

Perfect reception result. The only thing I can complain is the programme is not always in English!

zfyoung
23-08-2007, 01:59
Good copy here.The period from start of the log to 1500 UTC as indicated by the vertical line is received with indoor loop antenna powered by an alkaline battery which is running flat, so the result is not optimal. As a matter of fact, the signal is quite strong. After that time I witch to indoor long wire antenna, and the upswing of SNR confirms my observation. At the end of this trasmission, signal gradually lost strength.

BTW:the date in my log file and previous ones is not correct, it should be "2007" rather.

zfyoung
24-08-2007, 02:15
Some period of good result. Why don't they use hierarchal source/channel coding scheme like UEP and let the listener decide on what bit rate they choose to decode according to their local signal quality.

Digger
28-08-2007, 14:55

Frankly, this is how it looks when there is lightning in the vicinity. :mad:

To summarize, Mode A not very good for DX purposes.Channel Impulse fits within guard time, but the Doppler frequency is little too high, at times reaching as high as 0.9 Hz.

FritzWue

Very good signal but also strong noise floor, the panadapter's baseline is flat.
SNR variations caused here by setting RX gain too high in the beginning.

Digger
21-12-2007, 14:24
It started out fine, then heavy, deep Fading set in before the signal virtually dropped to almost zero. Then the transmission ended. It would have been interesting to follow it for a little while to see what happened then.

Surprisingly bad results. MUF was 11 MHz / 1500 km, but was that really the reason? The signal reached 20 dBµV when I checked in the beginning of the log.

The same segment in Switzerland. Not as stable as this frequency used to be.

Digger
24-01-2008, 14:12
Around 12:45 the signal strength was down to +12 dBµV and Fading didn't help much either. This frequency used to be extremely good here in Switzerland. Now for comparison, the 13.590 MHz signal is way above +55 dBµV.

FritzWue

Most time unattended log.
Result would be better if Radio Bulgaria on 15700 kHz would not spoil the band segment with about +/-50 kHz of splatter.
They obviously run their transmitter without any modulator lowpass and additionally the TX is overmodulated. :mad:

Don't know why SNR was a little low today.

Digger
05-02-2008, 14:43
...and I can't understand why 15725 kHz won't work at all here any more?? The signal is weak, sometimes with scatter-like Fading. I did not even bother logging. Or was the MUF of 11 MHz too low for DW on almost 16 MHz over 1700 km? :confused: :confused: :confused:


@Fritz: Yep, seems like I am to near. 13 MHz is no problem. We'll se how it progresses with the coming of Spring...

Hi Terje,
I think you are too close to Sines.

Digger
06-02-2008, 13:47
Hi all, seems like I'm to close to Israel too! From about 13 UTC
1) The Sines signal weakened and
2) Kol Israel on 15.760 MHz placed a unstable, splattery spurious on 15.723 MHz which is still audible here now at 13:35. :mad:

To demonstrate the unstability I set an unmodulated carrier on 15.723 MHz and the unstable tone represents the mixture of this carrier and the fluttery spurious from 15.760 MHz.

Digger
07-02-2008, 14:08
Perfect conditions from Sines this afternoon! :) :)

But I (and Sixten too) observed severe spurious emissions up to +25 dBµV from KOL Israel on 15.723 and 15.797 MHz at 10:10 this morning. KOL Israel uses 15.760 MHz. (See my post from yesterday).
