Equipment / Re: Directional Antenna (Loop?) for NAVTEX 518 kHz

« on: October 03, 2014, 2352 UTC »

I put up a new "double kaz" delta loop for North - South reception recently.  Though intended for MW reception, the signal gain really falls off towards the lower end of the MW band, but otherwise it's highly directional with good rejection off the sides.  I just bought a preamp which should help on the lower frequencies.  I'm looking forward to see if it'll pull in some new stuff on 490/518 this winter.

Decent S6-S7 signal with good audio, but over strong t-storm noise tonight.

"Don't let them see us, don't tell them what we are doing", presumed Undercover Radio but no official ID yet.  Great to hear your S9 signal again on the air!

Nice catch.  I caught them here the night before your log but up on 5010.6  I also had Brother Stair's slop from 5015, but oddly (?), Brother's signal suddenly vanished at 0237 UTC.  I was smart and had the SDR recording this time:

My first time hearing this one.

Enjoying your music tonight, thanks for the show!

New log and a new medium wave country tonight, off-frequency so easy to parallel the Latin music against Radio Corporación's live webstream when listening to 539.86 in LSB.  I've seen this offset carrier before but haven't been able to confirm any audio until a few minutes ago.  Battling with on-frequency KMLB Monroe, LA. on the new south d-kaz antenna.

Guessing this is a MW harmonic, but from where?  Weak copy but language is definitely not English, seems to be mostly talk, possibly Spanish with some brief music occasionally thrown in.  I've been hearing it nightly since I first saw mention of it in #SWL last weekend.  Anyone else have a better copy on this to help ID it?

YHWH up right now suggesting that listeners search for "yhwh pirate" on the internet "where people have been reporting station Y-H-W-H....go there and leave questions or comments, opinions.  If you want me to get ahold of you, leave some kind of mailing address and I'll mail you whatever you request through a round-about mailing system."

0356z: "I'll be on tomorrow, on this frequency, about 8pm California time again.  I'll be on 15.655 mHz in the high point of the day / mid point of the day, and also 11.595 beginning and ending of the day, like in the afternoons and mornings, so that's where you have to look for me."

0358z: "Hard Life" closing music and carrier off at 0400z.

This one hasn't been reported in a while, so...W807 (Chicago) strong at times right now with long angry rant about earthquakes, Fukushima, etc.  "DJ Storm's" voice is very distinct and stands out.  I'm also hearing another station underneath W807 with music, probably Radio Celestial.
