DW Wertachtal / Sines 3995 kHz

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Here is a partially unattended overnight log. Except from a period, around 0215, of bad results the rest was very good. The signal strength, at the time I was present, was 40~55dBuV

The overnight 3995 kHz reception report.

Conditions improved earlier and I stayed up a little longer and was able to listen to a few minutes of high quality 17.10 kbps audio (at approx 02:50 UTC) just before the modulation mode changed from 64 QAM to 16 QAM.

I have also attached the ID screen shot

Additionally this was the first time that I had ever received the secondary DRM data channel (the Receiving Status in the data service window was green) and was able to observe the DW Journaline in operation. :)

The overnight 3995 kHz (unattended) reception report.

Once again, the -12dB back end of the beam doing quite well, for about an hour, into the SE USA. :)

It is interesting that the omni directional signal from Wertachtal, at 06:00 is much weaker. That I suppose is the result of geographical location and Sines being under darkness a little more than Wertachtal?

[dk8cb]

A rather chaotic and nervously changing impulse response, see screenshot. Nevertheless quite a good result.

Hi all,

The overnight semi-unattended report. The SNR reached up to 36.8 dB.

It is interesting to look at the Impulse Responses from Wertachtal which has two peaks and from Sines which has three peaks. I dont know what happened between 0330 and 0430.

[Andreas]

Way up here in Northern Germany there seems to be a moderate drop only (or none at all last night!) in SNR when the switch Sines / Wertachtal is done.

Hi,

A two hour long log until 0703 UTC. At 07 UTC the SNR increased although the schedule does not mention anything. Perhaps they changed the transmitter?

Hi all,

Here is an overnight partially unattended log in two parts. The signal from Wertachtal until 1946 was ~40 dBuV which is 10 dB lower than usually is. After a short break down it reached ~50 dBuV. When Sines took over the signal reached up to 52 dBuV less than 10-12 dB as usually is. There was a problematic reception period between 0300 and 0430. During the whole log a lot of break downs noticed.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good to nearly excellent result last night.

[Digger]

I think there is a distorted AM transmitter 10 or 15 kHz below DW DRM that ruins the reception completely until 2130 UTC. :confused:

The gap for 30 minutes after 5 UTC appears (almost) every morning. At my location Sines is definitely better. I seem to be too near to Wertachtal.

[simone]

Great results from Sines, problems from Wertachtal.
Simone

[Digger]

I started the log at 2030 UTC and noticed that something was splattering into the channel. On 3.985 MHz I found the culprit, Vietnam in German, distorted and overmodulated. According to my listings Iran goes off the air on this QRG at 2030 UTC, and after that there are no entries for that frequency. :confused:

From 2120 UTC the reception was perfect. The sudden rise in SNR at 2223 UTC was me switching the receiver to slow AGC.

Then in the early morning W-Tal causes problems between 0500 and 0530 UTC. Again there was the "smooth" switchover at 0700 UTC which caused a break in the audio stream.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result last night except a period from 0338 to 0406 when something happend and gave bad results.

[CT4RK]

Hi Digger and all

Thanks for all your reports. The gap from 5:00 UTC to 5:30 UTC. happen, because Sines is switched off during this 30 minutes. At this time we need the transmitter to send on 7200 KHz to Bulgary in AM mode. This 7200 KHz transmission, will be end at 25/11/2006, and from this date, except in the weekend, we will be on air from Sines, on this QRG from 16:00 UTC to 08:00 UTC. This is 16 hours running on 3995 KHz without interruptions.

[Digger]

Hi Carlos and all,

Noted the reason for the drop in the mornings.
Last night there was less splatter QRM from 10 kHz below and the reception was great after 21 UTC. The log looks very similar to the log from 11th-12th Dec.

[CT4RK]

Hi all friends

I want correct my last post. The 3995 KHz 16:00 to 8:00 from Sines do not be from 25-11(?)-2006, but from 1-01-2007, and will be also during the weekend. I was look for an hold schedule !...Sorry!

Very weak signal from Wertachtal and Sines about 40-50 dB below the usual signal level here. SNR below 15 and sporadic decoding, thus no log.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

The conditions changed. A very good to nearly excellent result last night until 0314. At 1658 a TX related break down occurred. There was a temporary switching to 17.10 kbps/Stereo and then back to 14.56 kbps/Mono. There were also bad results between 0314 and 0438 as well as during the morning.

Results from last night.

Results from last night, not so good using the longwire, bad results around 02:30 and from Wertachtal.

[carknue]

Results from last night. Sines was perfect, Wertachtal not.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

An excellent result form Sines up to 2300. Then the SNR become lower and at 0400 to 0430 I got bad results.

[simone]

Great results from Sines, problems from Wertachtal.
Simone

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A nearly excellent result last night. The SNR from Wertachtal is lower than that from Sines but its more stable with less fluctuations.

Hi all,

A very good to nearly excellent result last night.

Perfect from Sines last night, problems form Wertachtal early this morning.

Hi all,

A very good to nearly excellent result again last night.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result last night, testing the loop.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Except the morning problems the rest was a very good result.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result last night. Large fluctuations of SNR after 0100.

Hi all, new member calling
I will introduce my self better later on but since it is Christmas Eve and I'm in a bit of hurry I post latest result from Sines, in fact it is my third result from Sines, all of them been good with max SNR around 35.

Hi all,

A good result last night. An unusual weak but stable signal and low SNR too.

Happy Christmas to everybody.

[simone]

Better decoding from Wertachtal early this morning at 0500- 0530.
Tx problems from 0700 at Wertachtal, switching between AM and DRM for 15min, later an AM carrier in the center of the DRM spectrum.

Hi all
Good decoding from Sines, low SNR but a stable signal.
My setup is a DRB30 receiver, 15 m wire just over the roof top and down at the other side, a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard in a desktop computer with Pentium 4 and 1 Gb of memory.

Hi,

Started logging Sines at 0645 UTC. The switchover brought a stronger signal from WER but lower SNR (as usual).

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good to nearly excellent result. A stable signal but a low SNR.

[TobbeR]

Good result from Sines but Wertachtal is more of problem from my location.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good to nearly excellent result. A rather stable signal with a bit higher SNR and two peculiar SNR peaks from Sines.

[simone]

Great results yesterday/ today.
Simone

[Digger]

Not an overnight log, but a quite good one. The significant increase in SNR when Sines took over can be clearly seen in the log.

The break at the ?? was probably caused by a local overload of my PC running Picasa Photo Album.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

Bad results from Sines between 2153-0011 and low SNR. The signal from Sines was 10-15 dB lower than usual.

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result last night. After the switch to Sines the signal dropped by 10 dB as well as the SNR. The SNR recovered a bit after 0330.

[TobbeR]

Good result from Sines but how to explain the drop in reception from Wertachtal 1900 to 2200? I do suspect that my television set has something to do with it. Have to fix my antenna, I don't even use any coax for the moment.
Regards
TobbeR

[mitajohn]

Hi all,

A very good result except the period of 2250 - 2330 with some problems. Low SNR from Sines, again.

I wish you a Happy New Year !

Hi Carsten and Simone
Thanks for your reports again, but can you put your reports in the "Sines on 3995KHz"?...As you know, Wertachtal no longer is on air on this QRG.

Hi Carlos,
thanks for your comment, these two threads have been used parallel for some time, not only Carsten´s and my post from last night were wrong, I have moved all posts from 1st Jan 2007 and later (about 70 posts) to the Sines thread and will close this one now. So everyone please use the other thread from now.
