January 23 Logs
John Cereghin <jcereghin@...>
I did manage to get in on the TA frenzy tonight with my first log of BBC-693 around 2030 Eastern. Nothing else was heard, even after straining at 1539 and 1575 except for Croatia on 1134, all on the DT-400W
Also heard tonight: 920 WYBY Cortland NY, 1645, Bible Broadcasting Network, traditional Christian mx, //webstream, Bible Broadcasting Network Now at 477 UL stations.

(In my Basement with an ULTRALIGHT E-100 Slider Tuner Radio). Strange but true!! Gary Debock is hearing Croatia in his Backyard in OREGON on an Ultralight!! Maybe you should try for Croatia in YOUR Basement tonight..you may just hear them!! 73....ROB. Robert S. Ross VA3SW |

Huh. Must not be a >real< basement. In my basement, where my DX shack has been for lo these last 25 years, one just doesn't hear TA's, even with a 4' loop and a communications receiver.

ULTRALIGHT DX....My 2nd TransAtlantic!! NEW COUNTRY England!!
Hi Guys:
After falling asleep on the couch last night.......and waking up at 2330 EST to see all the messages of everyone logging TransAtlantics all over the place, I decided to pull out the ETON E-100 Slider and see what I could hear!! I was hoping that I was not too late and they were all gone!! I was able to hear 1134 Croatia again for a relog...they were doing quite well!! This is the Only Trans Atlantic I have logged previously...so even though it was fun to hear again...it was nothing new. I started at the bottom of the Band and worked my way up. I found a Rather Strong signal on 693 Khz...and it was in ENGLISH!!! That was great.......and soon thereafter I was able to ID it as the BBC ....for a New ULTRALIGHT Country of England!! I had another fairly strong signal with Audio on 675 Khz.....in a foreign language...but I wasn't able to ID the Language OR the Station!! Anyways.....a New Country for the ULR Logbook....and a New Station too!! If anyone has any idea who the 675 may have been...or maybe logged this at the same time I did....I'd be happy to hear what it was??? Radio Used was..........ETON E-100 Slider with Murata Filter ULR LOG TOTALS are now.............621 Stations heard. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *********************************************************************************************** 693 Radio 5 Live BBC Droitwich, ENGLAND Jan/23/09 0034 EST EE PR-GD Signal ranging anywhere from Poor to Good at times.

Gary Deacon logs KMOX-1120-- Breaks All-Time Ultralight DX Distance Record!
Hello Guys,
On an exceptional night for transoceanic DX, Gary
Deacon of Fish Hoek, South Africa has managed a really incredible
logging-- KMOX-1120 in St. Louis, Missouri on a BAREFOOT Sony
SRF-M37V! (8,560 miles, or 13,776 km).
This amazing reception shatters the all-time
Ultralight radio DX distance record made by John Bryant (and me) at Grayland,
WA, when we received 5AN-891 in Adelaide, Australia on modified E100's.
But Gary's KMOX-1120 logging was with a stock pocket radio, on the 2"
loopstick! Congratulations, Gary.

Re: 1120 KMOX received in Fish Hoek, South Africa
Congratulations Gary,
You have just broken the all-time Ultralight Radio
DX distance record, held previously by John Bryant (and I) for receptions of
5AN-891 in Adelaide, Australia from Grayland, WA, on Slider E100's. We
both new it was only a matter of time before you guys would break the
record. GREAT JOB!

Larger crate loops, and direct-coupling to the Quantum Loop base unit
satya@...
Hi all:
Ive continued to tinker with these loops, stacking crates together to make larger units, using the contra winding technique to get a lot more wire on and cover larger frequency ranges, and hooking them directly into my Quantum Loop base unit in place of the normal ferrite loopheads. The results have been quite positive, and I have updated the Crate Loop article on DXer.ca with a bunch more options and details. http://www.dxer.ca/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=87&Itemid=77 73 Kevin Schanilec Bainbridge Island, WA |

1134 TA Audio Strong at 0203 on Slider E100, MP3 made
Hello Guys,
Discovering that the modified portables work much
better in the frozen back yard than inside the warm house, the
30" loopstick ICF-2010 and Slider E100 were taken out to the icy picnic
table in the patio, whereupon the Slider E100 made a nice MP3 of male-voice
audio from presumed Croatia on 1134 (from 0202-0203Z). 1575-Farda
was tried for, but the frequency is a wasteland here, with a local on 1580 and
semi-local on 1560. This was my first Ultralight TA (trans-Arctic?)

1134 TA Audio on Slider E100 at 0118Z
Hello Guys,
Audio from presumed Croatia has been dropping in
and out on the modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) here in my backyard, and hit at
peak at 0118 (during which it was also audible on the stand-alone Slider
E100). Male voice heard at that time, but dropped out shortly
thereafter.

Presumably this TA award would be for west coast DXers ?

TA's are not difficult anywhere near the coast in the New England states or Atlantic Canada so I'm not sure the award would mean as much there. Mark Connelly, WA1ION - Billerica, MA --- In ultralightdx@..., D1028Gary@... wrote:
Hello Guys, Congratulations to Colin Newell, who tonight became the first west coast DXer to receive Croatia-1134 audio on an Ultralight radio, and only the second to receive any TA on an ULR. It's almost enough to chase away any belief in the Winter Doldrums! Colin's E100 Slider has been through a phenomenal DXpedition in Kona, Hawaii, and even after a few minor bumps, has still managed to perform like the ultimate tiny overachiever, thrilling us with TA audio reception in Victoria. Wow! Rumor has it that John Bryant and Rob Ross have a First TA award available for anyone receiving a TA on an Ultralight radio-- which in this case would be a FANTASTIC accomplishment. Great work! 73, Gary DeBock |

1410 KQV Pittsburg PA
freetodx
Hi Folks Today I was fortunate to receive my first QSL from T/A reception via an ultralight here in South Africa. The reception occurred at Noordhoek, Cape Peninsula via the Sony SRF-M37V and 220 m BOG. The 5kw signal from 1410 KQV managed to make it through over a distance of over 13 030 km. Also a personal first. News Director Frank Gottlieb kindly verified the reception and recognised KQV announcer Bruce Sakalik's voice with their station id at the end of my attached audio clip.

Re: 1410 KQV Pittsburg PA
Hello Gary,
Congratulations on receiving a great QSL (for
your superb logging of KQV-1410, at a distance of over 13,000 km).
That is a very impressive accomplishment, and the distance is only a shade less
than the all-time Ultralight DX distance record. Good luck on more
thrilling DX.

Re: Logging of QC/ON in Germany
Hello Olaf,
Congratulations on your loggings of Quebec and
Ontario, in northwestern Germany, with your SRF-59 inside the passive
loop. Having used the SRF-59 for long distance DXing myself, I certainly
must express deep admiration for your patience, and determination.

Re: Croatia-1134 Received on E100 Slider in Victoria, BC!
Hi Mark,
West coast TA reception on an Ultralight is
tough indeed! Guy Atkins managed to receive Farda-1575 during a Grayland
DXpedition on a stock SRF-39FP in November, and Colin Newell heard audio from
Croatia-1134 last night on his E100 Slider. Nobody else has managed to do
this (including me). A first Ultralight TA award for a west coast
DXer would be a tremendous accomplishment. (I wonder who will be the first East
Coast DXer to manage reception of TP audio on an Ultralight ?)
