Re: LF: DCF39 ERP and field strength

[MarkusVester@aol.com]

Hi José,

though it is not explicitely mentioned in the caption beneath Geri's and Gamal's curve, I think their data actually mean a power of 40 kW EMRP (i.e. 125.6 dBµV/m at 1 km). Here at 310 km, I see 70 dBµV/m with about 6 dB groundwave absorption.

Despite this slightly higher EMRP, your measurement would still imply basically lossless low-angle skywave propagation.

For this radiater power corresponds, at 1800 Km, in function of inverse of distance, 58 dB(uV/m); last nigth I made measurement of 60 dB(uV/m), so I wonder if still DCF39´s power is the same as before, and if the previous theorical field strength, with no reflection loss, can be exceeded some times due to the several propagation factors involved.
