Another Sporadic (late season) ES opening

Today was more like a mid-season TV Band I and OIRT Es opening. Several hours with persistent DX, with some very strong signals from Ukraine. More like this please! Mediumwave TA-DX can wait !!

Beside the strong R1 - TV Channels from Ukraine ( 1+1 and Inter ) this was seen

R1 - 2Plus from Moldova with the old TVR1 logo upper right corner

R2 - M1 from Moldova

R2 - UT-1 from Ukraine


Between the channel R2 powerhouses I could log a personal first from Ukraine called STB/5-y-Kanal which is a low power station from Sinelnikove.

Very quiet ES day - 27 july 2012

Best tropo in these days had been to Danmark, Norway and Sweden. FM band was open with tropo to Sweden early in the morning but due to other commitments I missed the opening. When I arrived in the shack at 0915 local time signals were just fading out. More luck next time ! Late afternoon FM band was open with Es to Italy for a short moment. A new one was 91.70 Tele Radio Padre Pio from Campobasso with only 0,25 KW.

OIRT-Es 14 july 2012

Arrived in the shack at 0730z and OIRT Band was already
open into Belarus and Ukraine.
Pity that I had to leave home at 0900z as Band II
was open into Scandinavia.
So I missed that BIG ES opening after reading the postings
on the FM-DX mailinglists when arrived back at home.

29 june 2012 - nice opening on OIRT

Again a disappointing day in the CCIR band.
Signals were again very weak for ID-ing.
This evening I observed a good OIRT opening and I would
expect that tomorrow morning there is a good chance for more OIRT and perhaps multi-hop towards East.

Jordan on Channel E3 - 28 june 2012

Today's Band II Es opening again featured very unstable propagation. The skip area was jumping from one country to another. At one moment the band could be almost empty, the next moment all lower frequencies were saturated with many stations. This all made ID-ing difficult.

TV Band 1 was open at 1825 with good video
from MTB/MKD on channel E4 and Inter/UKR and RTL Klub/HNG on channel R2.

At 1845 Jordan fade in on channel E3 - see grab below:

Finally a day with some Es

After a few days absence Es are back into Delfzijl.
Got this morning 1TV from Moscow just under video level on Band I
and a few FM stations from Ukraine on OIRT.
Pity when Es conditions improved I had to leave home.

In the afternoon there was a short opening into Italy
on Band 2, but again nothing special.

Ultra Cheap SDR Receiver (RTL2832U chip)

A few DX'ers have asked me what kind of software
is needed to run the NOXON DAB stick receiving frequencies from
60 - 900 mHz.

First let me tell you where to obtain the
Terratec Noxon DAB stick.
I bought mine at Conrad for € 25,00 but a
DAB or DVB-T stick can also be obtained on Ebay.
Link :DVB-T

As you can read this dongle based on the E4000 tuner IC
has a very large tunable range of 64 - 1700 mHz
and has also better filters than the Noxon.

But of course there are more sellers who offer
the DVB-T 2832U based dongle, let Google search for you.

The software you need for a proper working of the dongle
you can find here.
Link : Software

Be aware do NOT install the DAB or DVB-T software coming
with the CD, but ONLY the drivers as marked on this picture.



But of course where HDSDR is mentioned you can put the unzipped files
in the directory of your own choice i.e.
WRplus or SDRsharp.

An updated librtl2832++.dll is available for separate download
to let the dongle work for frequencies above 300 mHz.
See "News in brief":
Link :dll

As already mentioned in a earlier post that for OIRT DX
I'm using SDRsharp which you can download here.

Link :sdrsharp

Maybe also of interest

More info about the SDRsharp possibilities you can find on YouTube.

As a receiver I used the NOXON DAB stick
and as software SDR#.



This stick is equipped with the RTL2832 chip and
with a special written software the dongle
will work between 45 - 900 mHz.



A short time later there was a nice opening to Portugal and Spain on FM but this lasted only half a hour.
