Nov. 30, 2018, 10:07 p.m. Jim, I emailed a resident of Anchorage who is a DXer. He is okay, but he said he hid under a desk. de cd FL EL96

Nov. 30, 2018, 9:29 p.m. I got myself an APRS handheld radio. It will be interesting to see what information it receives when the tropo ever gets here. It automatically sends me the mileage and azimuth of signals it receives and which digipeaters they come from. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 9:12 p.m. Get my facts straight :-( earthquake a little over 2 hrs ago de Jim-T MO EM37

Nov. 30, 2018, 9:09 p.m. Calls are suppose to be KTUU. de Jim-T MO EM37

Nov. 30, 2018, 9:05 p.m. OT not dx but 7.0 earthquake hit Anchorage a little over an hour ago. KTVU 2 non-stop news on satellite. de Jim-T MO EM37

Nov. 30, 2018, 8:49 p.m. I think it's so they don't have to worry about isolated higher terrain spots where the signal is received beyond the coverage contours. Also, there's no sense protecting a station over Lake Michigan or other uninhabitable area. Of course, tropo messes everything up anyway. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Nov. 30, 2018, 8:14 p.m. Yes, you made me aware of the interference allowances before. But the fact that they consider a population % may be problematic... people move. Why just not have stations overlap in the first place?? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 7:52 p.m. Yeah, WBGU/WNWO overlap does look surprising. By the way, during transistion, up to 2.0% of a stations potenbtial audience can be QRMed, afterwards just 0.5%... unless agreements are made to accept more QRM. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Nov. 30, 2018, 7:26 p.m. [17:24] Since KOZK moved to RF 16, I have logged WTWV 23/14 Memphis, KUVN 23 Garland-Dallas, and re-logged KSBI 23/52 OKC de Jim-T MO EM37

Nov. 30, 2018, 7:04 p.m. If urban sprawl increased the population interference from 0.05% to 30%, would the FCC fix the problem they caused with overlapping coverages? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 7:02 p.m. I also would expect the distance between adjacent channels WBGU-22 and WNWO-23 to cause areas of interference too. Sometimes it's okay, and sometimes it's not. I suppose it's based on the population that lives within the area of interference. So technically the FCC would allow for 50% area of overlapping cochannel interference if no one lived there?? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 6:48 p.m. WNWO made the switch around 10 am this morning, but there is absolutely no way I'll log them with WVPX in the way. I can't believe that's even allowable... less than 100 miles between full powers, but whatever. The FCC does things that make no sense. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 6:46 p.m. Yeah Chris, that's a surprise to me. I just checked RabbitEars, and sure enough, their CP for RF 23 was phase 1... expires TODAY de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 6:45 p.m. WNWO was assigned Phase 1. However, they are on 23 w/STA with lower power & antenna from temporary site.. due to need for modification of permanent tower. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Nov. 30, 2018, 6:18 p.m. It would help to get some tropo here with these changes, but with the way things are going, I may not get tropo until phase 5. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 6:17 p.m. And apparently the Lima, OH autologger is showing WNWO on RF 23 right now... ??? I wasn't aware of them wanting or even able to move to RF 23. I would think WVPX in Akron would interfere, but who know anymore. Nothing makes sense. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 6:13 p.m. Chris, thanks for the reminder for phase 2. I know WBGU-27 Bowling Green is phase 1, and I checked the Lima, OH autologger and noticed they just made the switch to RF 22... finally. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 30, 2018, 5:24 p.m. [14:40] Nice log with KUVN. I see rf-23 is really wide open for you.... but KODE move there in Phase 2, and phase 2 starts tomorrow. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Nov. 28, 2018, 8:22 p.m. Soil, trees, roads etc heat up and release into the cold air and cause mini temp inversions. I've even seen ground fog in such conditions. de Jim-T MO EM37

Nov. 28, 2018, 8:19 p.m. Solar radiation can cause localized signal enhancement. I've seen it in the middle of winter in the bone dry air of Colorado. de Jim-T MO EM37

Nov. 28, 2018, 6:45 p.m. By whatever the means... I've seen signal variations on LOS (10 mi) WKMU 36/21 de Ed W-KY EM56

Nov. 28, 2018, 6:01 p.m. All this is nothing that a li'l Es cannot cure. <ducking tomatoes> de cd FL EL96

Nov. 28, 2018, 4:45 p.m. Perhaps similarly to what you are seeing Andrew, I've often noticed localized enhancement in very cold, dry periods on FM. I will have to turn down the RF gain on my SDR aimed toward Philly (32 miles) 4 to 8 dB lower than a typical summer day by comparison to prevent overload (I believe leafed out trees are also a factor). de W2NJL NJ FM29

Nov. 28, 2018, 4:25 p.m. The enhancement is restricted to just high-VHF "local" signals. Semi-locals like WTOV-9 and WMFD-12 are not enhanced at all. But WCDN-LD 7/53 at 23 miles, WIVM-LD 11/39 at 25 miles, and WIVX-LD 13/13 at 16 miles are noticeably enhanced... no trace whatsoever of WQED 13/13 at 92 miles. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 28, 2018, 3:39 p.m. According to my line-of-sight calculator, WIVX-LD 13 should have a radio horizon of 17 miles with a 150' tower HAAT. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 28, 2018, 3:35 p.m. [13:39] Temperature inversion?? For a 16 mile signal? Isn't that basically line-of-sight anyways? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 28, 2018, 1:46 p.m. Ms 104.1 WOGY Jackson, TN followed by WHHL Hazelwood, MO, both re-logs de Dave-N PA FN01qx

Nov. 28, 2018, 1:39 p.m. Temperature inversion, a reversal of the normal behavior of temperature in the troposphere in which a layer of cool air at the surface is overlain by a layer of warmer air. (Under normal conditions air temperature usually decreases with height.) de Dave-N PA FN01qx

Nov. 28, 2018, 1:14 p.m. WIVX-LD 13/13 North Canton, OH @ 16 miles... not tropo, but what is it? This is the first time it has decoded at home. It has a very tight null in my direction with low tower. Could the cold weather be helping? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Nov. 28, 2018, 11:24 a.m. So, actually no one knows what the 104.1 with RDS of, PS: Talk, PI: WCV and PTY: News, is. It’s not a Sangean phantom display I’ve heard it several times. If it pops in today I’ll post the pic on Facebook. de Dave-N PA FN01qx

Nov. 17, 2018, 5:33 a.m. Remember, just grounding the antenna and not grounding the coxial cable is not going to help keep that lighting food reaching your home and TV equipment. disconnecting them won't help either if that same coaxial cableconnected to that antenna is still in your house. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40

Nov. 17, 2018, 5:21 a.m. Grounding your antenna and coxial cable allows the lighting strike a path to connect and discharge to the ground and not connecting and discharging ( striking) your antenna and TV equipment and home. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40

Nov. 17, 2018, 5 a.m. [20:22] Ok here is my take on lighting. Make sure you antenna & coal cable is grounded and you are good. The Steve's two autologger sites in Illinois is in a open field with no trees around & one is over 100 feet up and no lighting has hit or damaged those towers yet. Preamp and autologgers are still good. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40

Nov. 17, 2018, 4:24 a.m. [04:08] Bottom line, if it is not on your main autologger's DX recived list your autologger did not receive it. The big autologger Map has bugs or is seeing somthing in some stations transmitted PSID TSID Data. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
