USB Galvanic Isolation.

Next step for reducing “home made” QRM from my PC/SDR connection: My new Intona Technology USB 2.0 High-Speed Isolator. This product is an solution to break ground loops, avoid noise coupling and protect ports from power surges and voltage spikes. It works “High-Speed” without any problems also in 4 MHz spectrum recording with my WinRadio Excalibur G33DDC. Again 3-4 dB noise removed! (yellow without, green with Isolator, time difference two minutes, “empty” MW-Band for better visibility, 20 mt. Loop with Bonito ML052 amplifier)

US States verified.

After 4 years of US-DXing from Salzburg now 34 States heard and verified. (Not counting US areas like Puerto Rico and US Virgins) Next season hoping for stations from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. More difficult looks South Carolina, West Virginia and Delaware…. But the DX-hunt continues next season!

MW-QSL: KOMO, Seattle.

KOMO, the legendary AM radio station in Seattle, Washington, verified my reception on 1000 kHz from the seaport city on the west coast of the United States. Many thanks to Program Director Rick van Cise and Chief Engineer Gabe Joseph for the verification. Rick wrote: “your letter is especially thrilling since I don’t recall ever getting one from central Europe”  and Gabe mentioned “so far south! It traveled 8600km to get to you. It is amazing that you were able to receive anything at that distance.” Thank you KOMO Radio!
