MW-Logs 28.11.22

After finding my interference in the medium wave band and not being active most of the time here again some logs from today. Asia and Africa can be heard well in the afternoon and early evening, the last days overall not a bad time to listen to medium wave.

The picture shows the monitoring bus with my 200 Meter USA/Africa Beverage.

Today I was at my station with two officials from the Salzburg telecommunications office to find my interference in the medium wave and 160 meter amateur radio bands. They examined in detail what I was receiving and how and then the measuring bus, equipped with the very best Rohde&Schwarz equipment, drove around the area for a long time. 

After some time, I got the call – they actually found the interference far away in a westerly direction, a defective (but high-quality) surveillance camera that had been in use for 10 years and – presumably the power supply – was now causing this interference under load. I was at my station when the fault suddenly disappeared. Score. The owner will hopefully replace everything as soon as possible.

It was great how competently and quickly I was helped by the Austrian Radio Monitoring. Many thanks for that!

Beverage USA/Africa.

Since some days, my 200 metre USA/Africa Beverage has been installed. This time with a new, simple 75 Ohm Sat coax cable, as I have 195 metres to the antenna, double 50 Ohm coax is not sensible. Everything works wonderfully, the new boxes (Coax Match 75/50 Ohm, limiter and the antenna box) of course from https://RemoteQTH.com Really good quality and a reasonable price.
