Nearly perfect reception of Radio Sweden via Flevo today.
Ludo
Hi all,
the new frequency and time is very good. And hey, the german programm of Radio Sweden can now be heard in germany.
Perfect reception.
Hi all,
Good reception on 5955 kHz this evening.

Hi all,
good reception tonight and great to be able to listen to Radio Sweden in German, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
quite good reception last evening. But some problems with audio.
Hi all,
again good results, this time using the portable Sony SW7600, see attachment
73, Simone
Again perfect reception with good SNR.
Hi all,

Hi all
Todays report below
Paul
@Simone I think you put the wrong graph on here.
Hi all,
some problems this evening, only 20min with good reception, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
perfect this evening.
Hi all,
once again perfect results, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
very low SNR on Sunday.
73, Klaus
Hi all,
after bad results yesterday reception was back to normal, see attachment
But there were some audio problems (no audio, feedback loop)in the last about 15min :(
73, Simone
Hi all,
crystal clear reception from Flevo. But DW Russian or so starts 2 Minutes before 18:00 UTC and causes some troubles at the end.
Perfect reception and high SNR.
Hi all,
good results but again audio problems, from 1710 no audio, then high pitch sound (feedback loop) for a few minutes, see attachment
73, Simone
And the final comparision for today. Periods with very strong signal, but always with interference on 5960 khz.
No interference today, so the SNR was mutch higher than yesterday.
Hi all,
good conditions today, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
very changing conditions on the 49m band, but no problem for this transmission. In periods with low SNR, the signal strength was very low. But perfect audio all the time.
I really like this transmitter, always perfect reception.
Hi,
quite good yesterday, although shortly after the start, a part of the programme was suddenly in Swedish after the german announcement...
Some interference from other broadcasters that came on shortly before 18:00 UTC.
dk8cb
Hi all,
again nearly perfect results.
@Simone
As you can see, with this transmission I got a normal max SNR of 28.7dB. So the 23 dB on 6015 was limited by transmitter. Or had somebody else got a higher SNR?
Hi all,
strong, stable and high SNR. Nice DRM slogan in the german Programme "Lauschen ohne Rauschen" :)
I would like to hear more DRM transmissions on this frequency. Another good DRM candidate would be 6155 from Austria, which is always strong here.
Hi all,
quite good results again this evening, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
it couldn't be any better.
Hi all,
some problems this evening in the first half hour (using the Sony SW 7600G indoors), see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
good results only in the last 20min, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all
better results than the last days, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi,
Good reception from R Sweden via Flevo, 17-18 UTC here in Sweden.
73's Per - SM0ITS
Strong, stable and high SNR. I like this transmission.
But.... please don't use this high frequency test tone anymore! 400 khz would be more plesent.
Hi all,
low SNR with the portable Sony indoors but good enough for perfect audio decoding, see attachment
strange text again:

73, Simone
Hi all,
a few dropouts at the beginning but no problem for listening, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi,
I hope that reception was better in Germany than at my location. Listening time today was: 17:40 - 18:00 UTC.
After close down I observed a strong AM carrier on this frequency, or did it start at 18:00?
Hmm, Flevo on 49 m is usually one of the best DRM transmissions here.
Hi all,
pretty good as usual except the last 15min this evening, when the signal was very weak, see attachment
73, Simone
Weak conditions today, never had such bad results on this frequency before
Reception was back to normal today. But only a 10khz testtone in the first 20 minutes:mad:
Here my report. Good reception radio program German language. Used short wire only two meters over ground.
Regards Thomas -- DL1HTF
Also perfect reception in Frankfurt.
Today perfect reception with antenna 5 meters wire (horizontal) only 2 meters over ground.
Regards Thomas, DL1HTF
Hi,
here my report. Today reception with antenna "MicroVert" (0.8 Meters long).
Regards Thomas, DL1HTF
My report today Radio Sweden reception near Munich.
Regards Thomas, DL1HTF
Hi all,
strong and stable signal, pretty good results, see attachment
Also again these tests in the message text like:
test 20 - TEST 20 20.234567-30.234567-40.234567-50.234567-60
73, Simone
Hi DRMs,
Good conditions from Flevo today. Similar results as Simone with >elektor rx < and short wire.
I had also notice these strange >number files< between the
normal info text....
regards, Michael
Hmm, strong AM Signal on 5960 khz.
still perfect reception on this frequency.
Hi,
Also here in Sweden perfect reception of R. Sweden from Flevo!
Hi all,
great results with the high bitrate using UEP also on this transmission, in the last minutes co channel interference from DW, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
the best of the Flevo transmissions today, however there was a short period when the signal became very weak and no decoding was possible, at the end again interference from DW, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
strong signal all the time. The graph looks not perfect, but I could not hear any dropouts, because the DRM Software rADIO GRAPH IS ALWAYS TO PESSIMISTIC. Interference from 5960 khz in the last minutes.
Hi Carsten,
I have updated the attachment in the above post, now showing the difference of the results with the two software decoders, I only listened to the audio from DReaM, so I don´t know how audio was with the DRM software, the audio light went red a couple of times.
73, Simone
Hi all,
today again the only frequency from Flevo that gave good results, as always DW start their interval signal on AM in the last minutes, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
still the best of the Flevo transmissions in my location, good for listening with both software decoders, although the graph from DRMSWR concerning correctly decoded audio looks a lot worse as always with UEP, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
quite good result here this evening
73
Daniel
Hi all,
very stable frequency.
73
Daniel
Hi all,
last 5 minutes strong interference by DW. Except this time good signal as usual.
73
Daniel
Hi all,
good results this evening using the SW7600G/ telescopic antenna, as always co-channel interference from DW in the last 5min broadcasting their interval signal, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
some dropouts this evening using a telescopic antenna indoors, see attachment
Hi all,
a very weak signal in the first 25min this evening, later OK for listening but as often on this transmission quite a difference in the graphs from DRM SWR and DReaM, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
pretty good results this evening indoors, using DReaM´s improved BP- filter, see attachment
Also again DW´s interval signal in the last minutes.
73, Simone
Very good even at this high bitrate.
Hi all,
my first results on this transmission using the DWT with the wire antenna indoors.
73, Simone
Hi all,
similar results as yesterday, using the DWT/ wire antenna indoors, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
see attachment for my results. "The Mighty 1000" produces better results ;-)
73
Daniel
Hi all,
quite good for listening using the DWT/ telescopic antenna, except the last minutes with the interference from DW´s AM transmission, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
signal with some fading today and DW interference the last 5 minutes as usual.
73
Daniel
Hi all,
several dropouts today using the DWT/ telescopic antenna, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi,
Good reception from Flevo today.
That is until DW starts at 17:55 UTC! What about frequency planning? Received txt-msg: Please send reception reports to: drm-se@rnw.nl
Hi all,
a few minor dropouts but OK for listening, some effects from UEP
73, Simone
At 25dB the audio led often turned red, but not a single Dropout could be heard. Hope that this will be fixed in the new DRMSWR version.
I would say perfect 100%.
That's what I call a very good DRM transmission. 100%
Hi all,
good results this evening, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
quite good result during German program. At the end of the transmission the well known interference from DW.
73, Daniel
Hi all,
again pretty good results, also with the portable Sony SW 7600G in the last 30min, see comparison attached
73, Simone
Hi all,
a few minor dropouts, OK for listening and good audio quality
73, Simone
Hi,
Not a trace of RS at 7430, so I gave the NL Bouquet a try. Good reception until DW starts at 17:55. See screen shot.
Hi all,
no fun listening with a decoder that does not support UEP, only very few minor dropouts using the UEP version, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
good results this evening (using the old FAAD2), see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
good conditions this evening, see comparison of DRM SWR and old Dream decoder, the current version would be inbetween the two graphs
73, Simone
Hi all,
good results today, still the interference from DW in the last 5 min, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
quite good again this evening, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
great results this evening, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
perfect except the last minutes with the known interference, see attachment
73, Simone
Similar results like Simone. Strong co-channel interference in the last 5 minutes.
Hi all,
conditions improved a lot in the second half hour this evening, then again the usual interference, is there no agreement possible on this?
73, Simone
Hi all,
only a very weak signal today, no audio decoding possible at all, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
great results this evening, but 10min of silence from Radio Sweden :(
73, Simone
Hi all,
only a weak signal in the second half this evening, no more audiodecoding, see attachment

At the dutch border I am too close to Flevo polder, so most time problems with dead zone and backscatter.
Tonight I received Radio Sweden with high bitrate and real close to FM audio quality. Very good indeed!
In most parts of Germany the signal should be strong enough to achieve about 24dB SNR that is obviously needed for 100% troublefree audio at that bitrate.
As a listener at home I certainly prefer this quality!
Hi all,
rather good results again, at least when using UEP, see comparison attached
73, Simone
Hi all,
strong signal and good results again this evening, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
great results but still the interference from DW in the last minutes, see attachment
73, Simone
Hi all,
good audio decoding only for about half an hour, which is much better than yesterday, seems the frequency is not as reliable as it was during summer, audio levels have improved
73, Simone
Hi all,
better results than during the last week, still the interference from DW in the last minutes.
73, Simone
Hi all,
far away from what it used to be during the summer, no decoding at all, see attachment
Simone
Hi all,
some dropouts in the first half but much better than most days last week
Simone
I am not fully satisfied with this, although sound is good (audio spectrum goes up to 15,5 kHz!)
The last five minutes DW kills the signal. The interval signal can be heard in AM.....:(
Hi all,
strong signal this evening, good decoding (from 1720 using the UEP version), see attachment
Simone
There is a slight improvement vs my log on Monday, but a drop in the last 1/4 hour
Hi all,
a weaker signal today, results with the new DRM software compared to a version of DReaM supporting UEP, but listening with FhG software was not bad.
Simone
Really interestiin g subject today about the sense of minority language broadcast in Sweden and teh Netherlands. Unfortunately it was only audible until 17:20 UTC.
Changing the broadcast schedule only twice a year is not enough! First quick step should be to change every quarter of a year. Target should be a worldwide realtime frequency planning. In the age of computer and internet, this should be possible.
Hello to all,
This is the first reception report from me in this forum. I live 50 km south of Strasbourg, northeast France, and I am using a Digital World Traveller since last july, and I just installed Dream last weekend so I could really start logging stations precisely.
Bad signal level here for 5955 at this time, at least too low for the audio decoding. I noticed there was no sound in the audio decoded at the beginning of the hour. Service label and specifications barely decoded during the last 5 minutes.
73, de Stephane
Hi all,
good results only at the beginning, later a very weak signal and not much decoding anymore
Simone
Hi Jan Peter, all,
my first report of the A06 season on this transmission, only a weak signal today, so not much decoded audio from Radio Sweden, I remember better days from last summer with even a higher bitrate. And something that has not changed since last year: DW´s interval signal interfering in the last minutes ;(
Simone
Hi all,
seems to be the best of the Flevo transmissions for my location, pretty good results tonight!
Simone
Hi all,
good results for about 45min.
Simone
Hi all,
strong and stable signal all the time, perfect decoding, higher bitrate like last summer should be no problem.
Simone
Hi all,
perfect results again today
Simone
Hi all,
strong and stable signal, perfect results (except the last minutes as always, no agreement with DW possible?)
Simone
Hi all,
perfect until 1750 today
Simone
Hi all,
still the best of the Flevo transmissions for my area, great results again today (well except the last 5min with the collision with DW :()
Simone
Hi all,
quite good again for 50min today.
Simone
Hi all,
strange results today, after signal had disappeared at 1115 on 7240 kHz I could not get a signal from Flevo again this afternoon, then on 5955 kHz it came back in the last minutes.
Simone
Hmm, same strange results today. 49m is not really working these days......
Perfect conditions today on 49m. Frequency is not clear, but perfect reception.
Not so good in the second half today.
Simone
Second part was quite weak.
Long-term observations May 2 to 19
as ZIP-archive (http://www.intervalsignals.org/drm-observations)
Strong signal, good results today.
Simone
No good results for me, especially some longer dropouts in the german half. Mabe because I used by error the 20 khz filter instead of the normal 10 khz filter. But for sure, there were heavy interferences from +/- 5khz. I really wonder why the radioplanners are having twice a year meetings at places were other people are doing their holidays, if the result is everytime like this. I think that we have a 10 khz stepping in Europe on 49m ?!?. At leat since decades in theory. A successful DRM transmission needs a clear +/- 5 khz channel. And a success of DRM needs lots of successful DRM transmission per day.
Very good results again today.
Simone
Perfect decoding again today
Simone
Quite good results again
Simone
Good audio decoding, SNR a bit lower than usual, and by far the best of RNW´s transmissions from Flevo today.
Simone
Strong and stable signal in the second half, SNR even lower than yesterday.
Simone
Perfect audio, no audible dropout today, but SNR seems to be TX limited. Why? Audio was very noisy. Why? DRM does not make any sense if you broadcast a terrible noisy audio stream.
A weak signal in the second half.
Simone
Hi all.
First time I listen to SR on 5955 . Very good signal strong S9 and stabile from my 20Cm pick up elemet on this freq. also.
Perfect audio, no dropout . 1755 UTC start AM station on 5955Khz
Not so good, a bit better in the second half.
No problem for listening this evening.
Simone
Hi all-
Log 50 min.today of SR DRM. Every day in sunset will DRM kolaps on lowband 5 and 7 Mhz . S meter peak on S9 but very problem to for DRM .
:confused:
Good results despite heavy thunderstorms.
Simone
Hi all.
Her is 50min. of good reciption, only slow QSB from start ,and AM problems 1755 UTC.
Hi all.
Tune just in RS , last 28min , perfect signal today.
:)
Good results in the Swiss Alps last weekend.
Simone
Strange results today, only an unattended log, so don´t know what caused the problems in the first 40min.
Simone
Better results than yesterday.
Simone
Hi all.
RS on this freq. is very bad in my QTH, I have 3 AM very strong ,i DRM cannel.
So only 70% CDA ok .
:confused:
Hi all.
After hard work in my reciver for DRM in 2 days ,I now better signal from this transmitter. 97% CDA . I have 3 very strong AM i DRM canel. Problem for this 3% is QSB !!!
:)
Hi all.
Best log from this freq. today. Strong signal S9+10/20db. 99.22% CDA ok.
:)
Hi all.
Very good log today also. CDA99% ok.
:)
Hi all.
Very good log today also slow QSB 1750UTC . 58min and CDA97% ok.
:)
Hi all.
Not so good in the evening for 3 AM . See picture. Very deep QSB on DRM so go AM up over DRM.
Strong signal, perfect results.
Simone
Hi all.
Very low signal from start and problem from 3 AM station ,but after 20min .come signal up to S9.
:)
Hi all.
Very low signal from start ,better after 25min. strong QSB .So 80% CDA of 60min.
Hi all.
Log but very problem from AM.
And big QSB for DRM.
Only a weak signal during the past days, maybe a different antenna/ beam is being used?
Simone
Again a very weak signal, no decoding at all :mad:
Simone
Hi all.
Very good signal today . Low signal first 15min.
:)
Hi all.
First time for CDA of 99% ok. Very good signnal in 50min. No problem from AM .
:)
Better results than when I last tried, some audio problems from RS in the beginning.
Simone
Hi.
Audio problems from RS in start of transmission, very good signal today.
:)
Great results today.
Simone
Hi.
Very good results this afternoon.
;)
Hi.
Very good results this afternoon.
99% CDA of 57min.
:)
Hi,
Quite good except for the last few minutes when an AM interval signal messed it up...
Terje
This seems to be the only QRG from Flevoland I have a realistic chance for regular reception.
Quite good results, except the last few minutes when Deutsche Welle went on air.
You have to look at the spectrum very careful to see the small peak of a carrier appearing which gives you the hint that on-channel AM interference is the reason for the sudden drop of SNR by 8dB. After Flevoland goes off-air you can see and hear, what was going on.....
Hi.
Again,very good results this afternoon.
99% CDA of 57min.
Hi.
Again,very good results this afternoon.
99,90% CDA of 57min.
;)
There was strong interference from other stations every 5 kHz.
There was also a constant background hiss on the audio signal, see next post.
Roland
Here is an audio sample in which background hiss is audible.
Audio for the second half hour started too late, it was preceded by a swedish announcement in which a completely different programme was announced.
Roland
Hi all.
Great results today.
:)
Hi.
Good today but very problem from 3 AM station in DRM cannel.
:(
JanPeterW
28-09-2006, 15:57
Hi all,
Thanks for the messages regarding the audio hiss and all reception reports.
The audiolevel was set higher some time ago but it seemed that the side effect of this was an increase of the noise level.
Unfortunately right now there are only audio level settings possible: high and low.
So it's back to the low audio level again right now :-)
It will be something for the future to improve this.
Please also the note the higher bitrate again on all transmissions.
73!
Jan Peter
Conditions were not so great, many dropouts not only due to the higher bitrate, audio levels were lower again but audio seemed OK today during the moments that I could listen.
Simone
Hi.
Great results today.
:)
Hi all.
Great results today.no AM problem and stablie signal.

Quite good apart from the first 20 minutes, still the best from the Flevo transmissions for me.
Simone
Strong signal today and small AM QRM . log 57min.
Hi all.
Signal from Flevo was very strong today S9+40db but AM on 5955 also very strong. So carrier on 5955 influence very on DRM.
Pretty good results today.
Simone
Good results in the first 45 minutes.
Simone
My fist log on this frequency. Conditions good today.
Good signal today but very strong influence from AM on 5955 .
