Absolutely no detectable signal when I tuned in today shortly after 08:00 UTC.

I then moved to 9470 kHz, however, when I checked 7320 kHz again half an hour later, on a second (AM) receiver, the signal was there.

Hi Roland,
I think that´s normal, but what´s the reason for you tuning in before 0830 UTC on this frequency, did I miss something?

After listening almost exclusively on 9470 kHz in the morning for the last few weeks, I just forgot about Rampisham starting its transmissions only later.

So no reason to worry, you didn't miss anything. :D

Hi all,
perfect results again until 1500, great to see the BBC are using UEP again, which is an advantage especially with the difficult conditions from 1500. Unfortunately this can´t be seen in the results as I was not aware of the usage of UEP when scheduling this log early in the morning :(, but certainly a big difference when listening with the FhG software.
Simone

PS: Tests on 7320 kHz before 0800 UTC as observed by Roland are not a good idea, as RNW is transmitting in DRM at +5 kHz at this time.

carknue

20-10-2005, 19:25

Absolute perfect until 15 UTC. Then the graph looks a bit noisy, but these droputs were not really audible with the Fraunhofer Software and UEP worked quite well. But at 17:45 a very strong co-channel AM station started and destroyed the DRM signal.

simone

20-10-2005, 21:27

Hi all,
similar results as the past days, in the last hours using a deoder that supports UEP is an improvement. An even better alternative is to switch to 1296 kHz or 7465 kHz which both give nearly perfect results during these hours.
Btw at 1440 and 1450 Tx related dropouts.

Results of today. Again no reception possible after 17:45UTC because auf a AM co-channel monster.

dk8cb

A somewhat stronger signal than on 9470 kHz but I have seen better days.

Almost identical results with Dream and DRMSWR.

Today, I noticed audio clicks on two different correspondent's reports. I hope that this was not a manifestation of the old problem that plagued BBC transmissions a few months ago.

Hi Carsten,
the bad results around 0915 and from 1315 are caused by a daily interfering data transmission, which I mentioned a couple of times recently. Interestingly DReaM can cope much better with this kind of interference than FhG if you compare with my log from this afternoon. Btw it is not a local problem, I have observed this within a range of a few hundred kilometers, but no idea yet where it originates from.

Btw it is not a local problem, I have observed this within a range of a few hundred kilometers, but no idea yet where it originates from.

The data transnmission also does its destructive work here at my location.

It would be interesting to know at which location it doesn't occur, because that location might be closer to the source and within the dead zone.

Strangely, the data communication doesn't seem to be affected by the DRM signal, so one might assume that the stations are located outside of Rampisham's beam, perhaps far in the east, the Middle East, in the North or even in Portugal/Spain.

Quite good this frequency here, although signal strength is not as stable here as in Frankfurt. It goes up and down a lot here.

Unfortunately the power supply has got a much worse influence on reception here, even with the loop.

Hi all,
a stronger signal from Norway than from Rampisham at the beginning, see comparison attached
Apart from a dropout at 1421 quite good results.

Hi all,
good results today, except the first half hour with a weak signal, don´t know what happened at 1230.
Since a few days with the EPG for 8 days, it takes less than half an hour to receive all the information, bws still can´t be decoded with FhG :(

Hi all,
good results all day, signal was slightly weaker than usual in the afternoon, got stronger again towards the end, a sync loss at 0826 and a big dropout at 1320, don´t know the reason.
Simone

26-03-2006, 20:33

Hi all,
here is my first 12hour report from Rampisham, some interference towards the end, looks worse than it actually was when listening with DRMSWR, seems no problem to use this frequency all day, also two big, maybe Tx related dropouts.

Hi all,
a weak signal in the first 15min, then strong and stable
Simone

02-04-2006, 19:40

Hi all,
datastream problems (btw also from Kvitsoy, using the backup then) just after I had started the logfile, quite good results then in the car (the first hour was mobile reception), another maybe Tx related dropouts at 1741, also, this morning I could not see a signal in the first 40min, either propagation related or transmission started late?
Simone

dk8cb

02-04-2006, 20:44

Dropouts were caused by interference from an AM station at +5 kHz.
I can confirm the datastream problem.

Roland

Andreas

02-04-2006, 21:09

At my QTH usually Rampisham is stronger than Kvitsoy. So today once again good results, no dropouts when I was at home.

Some dropouts occured when I was out, so I cannot tell you why and Yes, I can confirm the big Tx related break at 14:13 UTC which lasted some minutes.

simone

04-04-2006, 20:08

Hi all,
signal was weak in the first hour, later perfect results until the end of the transmission, also the MFN is synchronised again, works great in my area.

Hi all,
signal got very weak towards the end due to the bad propagation conditions, that affected reception on many frequencies today.

16-04-2006, 19:46

Hi all,
great results with a strong signal all day, except 1735- 1745, but no idea what happened, seems signal strength dropped so maybe a break in transmission?

We changed over satellites today (to the transmitting station for the incoming programme (MDI)) about 11 am BST, from hotbird 6 to hotbird2. There should be no difference to listeners. James

simone

20-04-2006, 19:35

Hi James, all,
looks like a busy day at Rampisham ;)
No problems with the new MDI feed that I did notice so far, also MFN is perfectly sychronized for my area (no audible dropout)

ever increasing amount of dropouts due to interference beginning at 16:15
Rest of the logged time (about 5hrs) good to perfect

Hi James,

thank you! The DRM sign on your car still is much bigger! :D
Maybe the TX is limited in SNR?
I've seen up to 37 dB SNR in the car with the DRT1 on 41m.

dk8cb

27-04-2006, 09:28

Also great that meanwhile the Navtex bws also works with FhG decoder :)

Which FhG decoder? Perhaps the professional version?
It still doesn't work on the DRMSWR here, at least not with the signal from Kvitsoy on 9470 kHz, see screenshot.

Hi all,
here is a long log in the car today, first two hours stationary (at a high power TV/FM Tx site, low SNR at the beginning due to a bad connection) later mostly mobile reception in Eastern Hessen, a hilly rural area with long periods of nearly perfect decoding and 27-28dB SNR, some dropouts when driving in a city (Fulda)

13-05-2006, 16:38

Hi all,
strong and stable signal, with optimized manual adjustments and not using the AGC similar SNR as in reports from Fritz using the DRT1, probably the max SNR at the Tx is about 30dB
Simone

14-05-2006, 19:34

Hi all,
strong and stable signal as usual, good results using the DWT/ longwire at home.
Later also great mobile results, after some improvements/ adjustments on my equipment SNR climbed up to more than 30dB on this transmission in the car.
Simone

14-05-2006, 23:07

Not bad with the exception of an hour with bad interference.

A period with lower SNR for about an hour this afternoon (maybe some interference) but very close to 100% audio decoding all day! Also unlike Kvitsoy Rampisham used the normal datastream (higher bitrate & AFS, bws).

The usual interference problems which I always have between 16:00 and 17:00 UTC.

Roland

26-05-2006, 21:11

Perfect for 10 hours today. SNR was very stable, but signal strength varied +/- 10 dB. That shows that this TX is still SNR limited, but 30 dB is a quite acceptable value.
