2024 TV-DX - Analog SECAM-colour TV signal on VHF-I band during Sporadic E propagation of 1700 km! Koe Kone 2024-07-05 | This analogue tv-signal made an ES-skip of more than 1700 km! To my great delight, also some SECAM-colour "fire" came thoroug! For best viewing here in Youtube, force the video quality to HD. Note that you can also add subtitling for the audio!Receiving equipment/antennas are on a remote location because I live in a city apartment where no proper radio or TV hobbyist antennas are possible. All receivers were operated remotely, also the external tv tuner capable of SECAM-colour. Antenna for this capture was an 5 el VHF-low band Yagi. Unfortunately the screen capture video taken live over the Internet from my receiving location to my home jiggles a bit. Analog TV from UKR: Lugansk 24 [RUS]:- OIRT channel R2; -video carrier 59,250 MHz -audio carrier 65,750 MHzAfter the movie they aired some commercials, then Lugansk 24 evening news [RUS] and finally the local weather forecast.

Radio 700 from Kall Krekel, Germany with only 0,06 kW of EIRP received in Finland (1481 km ES-skip) Koe Kone 2024-06-02 | Radio 700 (87,45 MHz) received here in Finland during ES-skip of 1481 km and only 60 Watts of tx-power (EIRP, according to FM-list-site). The official CCIR FM-band from 87,5 MHz and up was totally saturated (see beginning of this video) during this ES so this station transmitting below the usual frequency range was the reason why it could be heard. It must be a STL, Studio Transmitter Link.

DAB-DX 2024: Receiving a DAB service from multiple transmitters over a distance of 1000 km! Koe Kone 2024-01-29 | A rare winter-time tropospheric ducting over the Baltic Ocean! Weak DAB-signals on channel 10B were received here in South-West Finland from multiple transmitters carrying the same DAB-service (E0-1148/ rbb BRB-BLB K10B) in Germany, over a maximum distance of 1 095,2 km (EDIT: 1 120,3 km) ! These transmitters could be identified and shown on the map in real-time using DAB TII (Transmitter Identification Information) and suitable software (here QIRX). A long distance tropospheric propaganation varies slightly while present and thus carries signals from different locations resulting in a fascinating flashdance of DAB-network in action!

FMDX a playful FM-radio band MARINE TROPO by the sea, coast of Finland possibly AIRCRAFT SCATTER too Koe Kone 2021-03-28 | Perfect contitons for a playful FM-radio band MARINE TROPO [M/Tr] on South-West coast of Finland on a calm and sunny spring afternoon, 27th March 2021. Many distant FM-stations across the Baltic Sea were logged here on that same day... Note how a FM-signal received during similar conditions just few days earlier fluctuates while finding its way throug forming temperature inversions over the sea. Location and angle of view shown here: http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2179#msg2179 (www.dxinfocentre.com): Marine Tropo occurs when warm dry air overrides a cooler body of water. Marine inversions often extend the entire breadth of lakes and can extend for thousands of miles over the ocean. It also spreads into coastal areas by way of sea or lake breezes. Marine tropo can become enhanced or combined with other types such as High-Pressure Tropo. It normally peaks during the afternoon when the inversion is the strongest. Outside of the equatorial zone, spring and early summer is the best season.(www.dxinfocentre.com)Possibly some airplane scatter was also involved : https://i.ibb.co/FwpN7ht/2021-03-25-14-28-48-UTC-Flightradar-vs-signal-path.png and youtube.com/watch?v=eapdP9rKGCAMore of my stuff here: http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2171#msg2171here: http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2162#msg2162and here: http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2056#msg2056Please use Google translator.
