MW Logs.

Here are my MW logs from the last few days. The transatlantic signals are moving towards North America, the active sun is also having a negative effect. Nevertheless, my provisional 100-metre Beverage, set up for the first time in late summer, delivers nice signals at sunrise.

WinRadio G33/CSO, Two Wire Beverage USA/Afrika, 100 mt. 

Antenna building.

Today antenna building day at 34 degrees. 200 metres of coax were laid underground thanks to the fibre optic spring and a summer two-wire beverage with 100 metres of USA/Africa was set up. By laying the coax cable underground, I am now able to operate a beverage all year round.

MW QSL: Albania

TWR confirmed to me the reception of the broadcast over the mediumwave transmitter in Fllake, Albania from 2016. The station was always very good to hear, but I had never written a report. This now finally made up for with a nice audio file, which Kalman Dobos was very happy about – and now Albania as a mediumwave country is also “in the box” here.

My 120th country confirmed on mediumwave.

North Africa.

Radio Algérie Internationale, Ouled Fayet on 891 kHz and RTT Chaîne Internationale, Tunis on 963 kHz can be heard in the evenings. A well-made German-language programme comes from Tunis from 19-20 UT.

New K9AY++

I now use the new big K9AY++ box including OLI IP12 controller from hamparts.shop, see

https://hamparts.shop/k9ay-rx-antenna-remote.html

This new K9AYY++ solution has the advantage that the antenna can be operated locally via the controller AND can also be controlled remotely via the internet in almost all functions. So you can tune the antenna perfectly and use it afterwards over the net without any problems.

The circumference of the loop is still 25 metres, important is a very deep construction of the lower limb to increase the directivity (actually the attenuation of the unwanted direction), the developer Jan makes extensive details and sketches in the mentioned link.

Due to the cows in the pasture, I cannot position the antenna optimally, but I am nevertheless very satisfied with the first results. Now the coaxial and control cables have to be laid underground, and then autumn can come with its Asian signals on medium wave.

Logs: South America.

Here are my logs from the last few days. South America is not so bad to hear this summer, it was much worse the last two years. Even if the signals are not loud and regular, some Peru is not unlikely this summer, even though I am currently only using a small whip antenna.
