Pretty interesting indeed! Looks like he's really getting a lot out of it by raising the Q on his target frequency. Made me think if this would be something to consider for our smaller versions for SW but then I thought the whole purpose of the exercise is minimizing the losses and that's what a pre...

That's not redundancy, just minimum required equipment for proper a monitoring station!

In the past few years I really enjoyed the bands crowded with portable US stations on that weekend. This year the condx really didn't play along though!

Wow, that's more shack than bicycle but the "pedestrian mobile" trolley isn't bad either. :) BTW, a bit earlier that day I also heard the guy who inspired G4NVF to go bike mobile on the same frequency, G4AKC (first comes JK1THF, still a bit weaker): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-1kGpUg...

I made a few casual visits to the dike this month, just to relax for an hour after work and not wanting to aggravate the tonsillitis I'm currently dealing with, so I didn't bother with putting up antennas and just suction-cupped the Belka to the side window. Since I was sitting in the car, I took th...

Congrats! A few notes though: 1. I have no hard data points what it really does but a metal support is not recommendable as it will very likely mess with the antenna's performance in some way or other. Or is that a wood pole (hard to see on the pic)? 2. The SULA is lacking a lot of sensitivity witho...

Today I used the currently (for a change) calm(-ish) ionospheric conditions for a very early walk in order to try catching some TA DX. Chances are rather slim now merely 3 weeks to the summer solstice, because there's very little darkness between TX and RX, leaving only a very short time window for ...

Yes, it's English but alas very much drowned out by the stronger program and unintelligible. Are you sure this is Radio Vatican? Are they having a different interval music for sign-off? It's very similar, even in the same key as it seems but it lacks the glockenspiel/vibraphone/xylophone/dingdong le...

Here's the minute before the stations disappeared (with the rapid fadeout after the second minute beep), and the sign off music I can't seem to identify (I'm not so much of a BCL I'm afraid and YouTube has only historic interval signals): https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6e0fvrilz1guqt/10MHz_Anomaly_June3...

Going through last year's recordings I found this odd appearance of what sounds like 2 stations on top of WWV 10 MHz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWKt3A1murg As you can see on the video, I frantically tried to make sure that this is not some odd malfunction of my IC-705. I have an audio recordin...
