ANTENNA ATTIVA LOOP MLA-30: POCA SPESA.... TANTA RESA

 Da qualche tempo la mia attenzione è attirata dalle antenne loop, ne ho già tante ma continuo a dire  a me stesso che questa è l'ultima poi basta... invece non è proprio cosi. Capitato su ebay con l'intenzione di cercare qualche articolo la ricerca s'è subito fermata su di una antenna loop da esterno dal look molto accattivante la  MLA-30, acronimo di mega loop antenna. Quest'antenna dal costo veramente irrisorio  di circa 43 euro spedizione inclusa copre lo spettro delle HF da 1 fino a 30 mhz con buone prestazioni (purtroppo ad acquisto effettuato ho costatato che NON è per nulla adatta all'ascolto delle onde medie!) incuriosito dall'articolo ho subito cliccato su "acquista ora" e dopo circa 15 giorni d'attesa l'ho trovata nella cassetta delle lettere. Scartata dall'involucro ben protettivo l'antenna e accessori si presentano come in figura: 


Il set  è cosi composto: loop di 60 cm  in fil di ferro ,il controller da esterno con amplificatore entrocontenuto e circa 5 m di sottile cavo RG con connettore sma maschio, due viti di fissaggio,controller da interno con presa usb piu' cavo dedicato e due connettori sma femmina ( da antenna verso controller) e 30 cm di sottile RG con connettori sma maschio per il collegamenento al  rx ,( consiglio d'avere a disposizione un adattatore sma femmina- PL maschio per la connessione  al ricevitore), ATTENZIONE, purtroppo nella confezione NON E' INCLUSO L'ALIMENTATORE  220Volt-5Volt  facilmente reperibile in quanto trattasi di un semplice caricatore del tipo usato  per smartphones e tablets! una volta aggiunto il caricatore  sono passato subito alla prova vera e propria: l'antenna risulta ben fatta e robusta, il controller esterno è stagno mentre quello da interno è di piccole dimensioni  e poco ingombrante dove sono presenti i connettori sma femmina  per il collegamento dell'antenna e ricevitore, un led bianco segnala il corretto funzionamento,presa usb da 5Volt per l'alimentazione  e cavo dedicato. Il loop di ca. 60 cm di diametro è composto da un sottile fil di ferro ca 0.50  mm già pre-modellato da fissare tramite viti a galletto fornite nella confezione .


Spendo due parole sul loop che a mio modesto parere risulta molto fragile e non adatto a esposizioni prolungate ad intemperie o vento forte come tipico di questi  ultimi anni; sicuramente lo deformerebbe oppure danneggerebbe seriamente, il problema è presto risolvibile realizzando un loop  più robusto con fil di ferro da 2 o più mm, io l'ho realizzato con del cavo di rame smaltato da 4mm normalmente  usato per la messa a terra , già che avevo l'opportunità l'ho anche ingrandito portandolo a 90 cm di diametro. L'alimentazione dell'antenna avviene tramite caricatore usb come gia' detto, purtroppo questo genera parecchi e fastidiosi ronzii di sottofondo che qualche volta vanno a coprire i segnali più deboli  (sarebbe da provare ad usare un cavo usb caricatore -controller dotato di ferriti e verificare se si ottiene un risultato migliore purtroppo al momento non lo ho disponibile!)per il resto le ricezioni dei segnali nello spettro di 1-30 mhz sono più che soddisfacenti e le belle sorprese non mancheranno,il rapporto S/N è più che discreto , questa loop nonostante li ridotte dimensioni ha un  "buon orecchio fino "nel ricevere  segnali "puliti" come quelli in DRM ( Digital Radio Mondiale )oppure "fugaci" come in modo HFDL per intenderci . L'antenna può essere anche usata in portatile semplicemente alimentandola con un comune powerbank da 5000mah o superiore,  NON ASPETTATEVI GRANDI SEGNALONI PULITI essendo una antenna attiva lo "strascico" del disturbo è di casa!, non contento l'ho anche messa alla prova come antenna da interno semplicemente appoggiandola vicino alla finestra o in posizione verticale ( come da immagine)  e le buone impressioni e buoni segnali non si sono fatte attendere, al momento continuo ad usarla  "in configurazione " da interno.

In conclusione posso affermare che l'acquisto fatto mi ha veramente soddisfatto, poi diciamolo chiaramente 43 euro non sono una grande spesa!, le prestazioni sono discrete e le possibilità d'utilizzo sono molteplici; in altre parole il divertimento è assicurato con poca spesa.. e tanta resa  a MIO PERSONALE PARERE l'antenna è promossa! ENJOY THE ANTENNA AND HAVE A NICE LISTENING WITH  MLA-30.

Glenn Hauser logs June 27, 2020

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey June 27: 12820 & 12190 at 1325 vs high local line noise level; at 1432 still 12190 but not 12820.

At 1435, 12835 and stronger 12880, both confirmed // 15110. (Almost?) all Sound of Hope frequencies end in -0, consequently also the jammers; so 12835 is unusual, and not in the Aoki/NDXC schedules.

At 1437, 13070 in Chinese, S3-S5; at 1440, 9200 JBA //; 1442, 10920 is JBA and 11170, no others in the area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, June 27 at 0541, RHC English at S9+10/20, undermodulated but sufficient. Could easily be a fundamental! But really 2 x 6100, which is S9+30/40. Harmonic leakage must be combining with enhanced propagation, such as sporadic E. Not a trace of RHC on 12000 or 12290, tho the other two 49mb frequencies are also still on the air, 6000 & 6145. Stronger than anything else on 25m. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 11990, Sat June 27 from 1626 I am monitoring via UTwente, tuned to 11989.0-USB so I will hear a 1-kHz het when the carrier come on. It does, at 1631, but only for a split/second and off again. The same thing happens repeatedly for the next semihour, as I note the times, once or twice a minute, but may have missed some as I was simulistening online to `The Score` on KUCO-FM! Many repeated attempts to turn on the transmitter but it goes right back off again:

1631, 1633, 1635, 1635, 1636, 1638, 1639, 1640, ... 1643, 1643, 1644, 1644, 1644, 1645, 1647, 1647, 1648, 1649, 1650, 1651, 1652, 1654, 1656, 1657, 1657 1658, 1659, 1700... That`s enough for me, so I quit.

This is a new IRRS broadcast in Oromo for East Africa, which Ron Norton publicized June 24 without a name or transmitter site as:

``11990 kHz (250 kW) from 1630-1730 UTC on Mon, Wed & Sat to East
Africa in Oromo language``

Meanwhile, Ivo Ivanov, very near the ``Secretbrod`` = Kostinbrod transmitter site of Spaceline in Bulgaria, reported:

``NO SIGNAL at 1630 & 1634 UT on 11990, only QRM from 11985 Radio Free Asia in Korean via Saipan. And nothing at 1656, congratulations for SPL Secretbrod. Fair signal at 1707, but unknown broadcaster.``

So I resumed via UTwente at 1714. Now fairly good signal with Horn-of-Africa music and talk in presumed Oromo. Listening closely to sign-off at 1728, sounds like they mention Kenya, but maybe some other word, and quick ID in passing something like ``Radio Otzutaki`` [or Opuzaki??]. Fortunately Ivo posted a clip including that at 1:38 into; what do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXRlgX4_7s4&feature=youtu.be along with two clips earlier via: https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2020/06/irrs-unknown-broadcaster-on-11990-khz.html

Meanwhile2, I sent my earlier obs of nothing but carrier attempts to Ron Norton of NEXUS-IBA/IRRS and got this reply from Alfredo Cotroneo in Ireland at 1736:

``Hi Glenn, We are on 11990 with 250 kW. Propagation is crazy today, but we got reports from Russia. Antennas are pointing away from Twente. Alfredo``

To whom I replied:

``Alfredo, I`m sure the signal failed before 1700 as described. Retuned at 1714, then it was on steadily and sufficiently audible until 1729*. Could you reveal the name of this broadcaster, maybe website and/or contact info? Glenn`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, June 27 at 0544 presumed Kurdish music, S5-S7, long pause, and more music. Denge Welat via FRANCE until 0600 switches to Pridnestrovye site per Aoki/NDXC. Also could be Turkish jammer ``Radio Recep Erdogan``, but only one signal heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255- & 9690-, June 27 at 0601, another day off for VON, no signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 27 at 1325 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA but sounds like my intonation. Next:

Thanks this week for financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sends a generous quarterly contribution marking Solstices & Equinoxes, by check in US funds on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

One may also contribute via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Saturday June 27 at *1453, KVOH carrier on as I have been waiting for it; 1455 music; 1458 English ID & IS; 1500 sign-on; 1501 hymn so no Wavescan? No, that`s the way WS starts this week, a DX program without a constant themesong for sesquidecades. Signal is S6-S9 and somewhat undermodulated. I want to check how it sound closer to Carib target, but little or no signal at TWR Key West, Bonaire, DR remotes, nor the one at Alexandria VA.

Therefore KVOH is failing to reach its intended audience. There is plenty of single-hop HF sporadic E between Simi and here, MUF beyond 18 MHz, getting it here, but would require improbable double hop to Carib, if not non-sporadic F2 prop which obviously is not funxional (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

IRRS Nexus: pessimo servizio e pessima comunicazione

Ennesimo strafalcione dell'associazione italo-americana operante, con trasmettitori altrui, sulle onde corte: anche l'ultimo annuncio di una trasmissione loro commissionata era errato, una trasmissione in afan oromo sugli 11990 è stata oggi effettivamente ascoltata, mo non non all'orario da loro comunicato bensì alle 17.30 UTC, il sito dovrebbe essere quello bulgaro di Kostinbrod

RADIO PIO DOCE

Ya hemos contado aquí la historia de las emisoras mineras en Bolivia, en el proceso de la nacionalización de las minas y la lucha obrera en un difícil contexto histórico. Entre las iniciativas del movimiento obrero minero se destaca la instalación de emisoras sindicales en los distritos mas importantes. Fue así que en la década de 1950, comienzan a transmitir tres emisoras…

Radio Caroline North this weekend

Tune in for more nostalgia with another of our monthly Radio Caroline North broadcasts this weekend 27th-28th June.

You'll hear all the best music from the 60s – early 90s, plus the chance to win some goodies from our Web Shop, this time kindly sponsored by Felixstowe and Offshore Radio, together with Felixstowe Museum.

Sadly again, due to 'social distancing' restrictions, we still can't use our radio-ship Ross Revenge, so this broadcast will be land-based.

Listen in on 648 AM in the South and South-East, on 1368 AM in the North and North-West courtesy of our friends at Manx Radio and around the world online here, with the Radio Caroline app or on smart speakers.

We'd love to hear from during the broadcast via memories@radiocaroline.co.uk and remember, it's the only email address that gets you straight through to our 'North' broadcasters directly. Visite www.radiocaroline.co.uk

Glenn Hauser logs June 26-27, 2020

** NIGERIA. 7255- & 9690-, June 26 at 0557, VON missing from both possible channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 kHz, June 26 at 0559 UT, ND beacon PN from Ponca City is one again IDing in MCW with considerable pauses, rather than dead air the last time checked. Overall 25 watt (?) signal seems weaker than it had been, but storm noise levels are high (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 26 at 2246, VOT is on with Turkish music which would have been enjoyable were it not for the choppy signal and noise level, could not copy whether sign-off still claims to be the 1230 on 15450; cut off at 2255* so no spurious German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11121-USB, Friday June 26 at 2300, fortnightly AF MARS broadcast just barely audible, mostly uncopiable despite slow pace, fade-outs, but originates (message, or transmission?) from Scott AFB, Illinois. Three more chances so will try later: but next one at 2320 on 7324-USB is a no-show at least until 2323.

7324-USB, UT Sat June 27 at 0100, repeat of MARS broadcast starts abruptly, despite AM carrier on 7325, which is Iran in Spanish until 0120. Why in the world would MARS pick such a frequency, and USB instead of LSB, no less. Fortunately Iran is weaker and the R75 ANF rids most of the het. So I take some notes, more detailed at the start:

``MARS, MARS, this is MARS-COM. Do not answer. Authentication FGHEZQ [fonetik]. 26 June 2020. HQ message #1-2``

Paragraph 1: July X, 2020, on or about 20 July-24 July, on-line communications...

Paragraph 2: A-6 leadership changes, AFW4C and AFW0C

Paragraph 3: [missed: quick check of 11121-USB which is scheduled duplicative at this hour only, to hear weaker different voice reading presumed same text but not synchronized; where from? No callsign IDs heard on either frequency]

Paragraph 4: COVID-19 - standard advice for coping.

Paragraph 5: more than 50 trainees are in the pipeline; mentor volunteers needed

Paragraph 6: AF MARS Special Operations seeks volunteers

Paragraph 7: Thanks for support; from HQ ---

``Next broadcast will be on 10-11 July 2020; on 10 July at 2300z on 11121.0; 2320z on 7324.0; 11 July at 0100z on 11121.0 & 7324.0; 0120 on 7324.0. Supported by the 12th Air Force Military Support Squadron; contact AFH1C [is that a callsign or an abbr.?]. End. This is MARS-Com, out`` until 0109.

I did not try for the final repeat at 0120 on 7324. Thanks to Chuck Gessner, W3ON, for notifying us on the WOR iog about this after the previous biweekly broadcast, including that reception reports go to reception@xcvrs.com (Glenn Hauser, USAF Ret., OK, WOR)

** U S A. No sporadic E FM DX captured June 26 despite a few chex when there were scattered 100+ MHz MUFs on DXMaps; but at least 30 MHz, as I log a few more beacons on the 10m hamband:

28251.5-CW, June 26 at 2145, long message and long pauses --- so you could easily miss it in bandscanning; after several iterations - minutes, managed at least to copy the ID: KE5JXC/B. It starts with that, no VVV, or DE; and ends with figure 9, probably grid square. Per WJ5O beacon roster, it`s: ``28.2515 KE5JXC C PECAN ISLAND, LOUISIANA # 5W, VERTICAL new 10 Sept 15`` --- ooh, I love pecans, but not the hassles of harvesting them before the squirrels, blanching and cracking and extracting. Pecan Island is a town of 400 less than 10 miles from the coast due south of Alexandria; beware: distancefromto.net measures some place NW of Baton Rouge. QRZ.com: ``KE5JXC USA flag, Arnold J Lemaire, 13630 La Hwy 35, Kaplan, LA 70548 -- 10 Meter Beacon 28.251.5 MHz CW, 5 watts output, Vertical @ 20' AGL located in Grid EL39sp  Pecan Island, LA``. Kaplan is about 25 miles north of there, at 547 miles, so P.I. would be about 565 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

28224.5-CW, June 26 at 2153, K5GJR/B, ending with figure-7. It`s: ``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL`` ``K5GJR USA flag, Randy L Bates, Corpus Christi, TX 78415 USA Hello All, I'm active on most bands 160-70cm's.I have a 10mtr beacon that runs 24/7 at 28.224.5,consisting of a Radio Shack HTX100, putting out 2.5 watts,using a Pico keyer kit I assembled, into a Antron A-99 vertical antenna at 40'.73s Randy k5gjr``. 957 km = 595 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed first WRMI broadcast, Friday June 26 at 2200 on 9955, poor but no jamming audible.

Also confirmed UT Saturday June 27 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5010 & 7780 VP in storm noise; 5850 VG way over still audible storm noise on only beam toward OK; I listen critically to whole thing; note a couple minor upcuts in editing, but no background noise. Next:

** U S A. 9330, 7490, 6160, 5130, June 26 at 2312, all WBCQs are absent, so bodes ill for `AAAWWW` in following hour.

7490.04, UT Sat June 27 at 0000, this WBCQ is back on, but poor in storm noise, after FKB gospel huxter, then that commercial for SDRs before WTO and AAAWWW starts. After noting that there is a problem with 6160 & 5130 as if they are nowhere near Maine, A&A launch right into Trump-forever commentary, so back to MSNBC for me. Recheck at 0022, 6159.90 is on now and about as poor as 7490.04, and 5130.0 is detectable but unusable. 0051 recheck just in time to hear him admit that they are back in ``Studio 9 in Deland of Fla`` --- even tho it`s high summer, nor is it yet a repeat but live on ``26th of June, YOOL 2020``.

Current storm areas marring reception here are: NW TX/OK Panhandles; but major line along the KS/CO border, and a long line across KS, S IA, N IL, N IN, S MI, N OH as far as Cleveland. I`ve been listening only on SW direct, not webcast or remotes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 26 at 0550, RV, 3 x 3945, in presumed Bislama, poorly audible S4-S7 but better than it has been for several nights; despite storm noise this high in the band from the Nebraska area; 0556 improving with ``island music``. JBA carrier on 7890 = 2 x  3945. I don`t even bother to try the fundamental this early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
