Hi all!
As I'm struggling with a virus for some days now, there is a lot of space for
sleeping, weird dreams, and: I put my little home made LW-TRF-Radio beside the
matress and hung up a abt. 4sqm wireloop on the balcony which is 80% outdoor,
20% indoor.
Usually listening to "Polskie Radio I" under the blanket, last night (17.I.9) I
was on the go enough to tune the tuned-radio-frequncy to other longwave radio
channels. Strolling around the broadcast band I found at least *something*
beetween the local DLR 177kHz and BBC4 198kHz.
Listening very carefully from 0:46UT there was Rock Music, short announcements
in beetween, followed by something which sounded like marine weather station
reports (??). And yes, it definitely appeared to be a nordic tongue speaking!
Reception was Q2 to Q3 with local noise and interfering neighbour stations in
the background. (The shape factor of one bandfilter - although carefully
arranged litz-in-potcores - is not that dramatic ;) )
At 1:00UT DLR's (177kHz) switchover to DRM modulation interrupted the reception
with terribly broad band noise. The 177kHz-TX is only 29km away from my home.
Taking into account, that the list of LW-TX's lists only Icelands
"Ríkisútvarpið" transmitting from Hellisandur on 189kHz, I see high evidence
that I really was receiving this one! Distance from google maps distance
calculator ist 2505km. Did not expect this to happen in the city center of
Berlin and had/have phantasies to try this Hellisandur once portable, from a
remote area, with a looooong beverage antenna or something like that. Surprise
surprise!
Will do this again today night.
Regards
Dennis
