What rx are you using there ?
@Mikareport Жыл бұрын
Different DXers use different kinds of receivers. My favorite is the Perseus, and I have had 2-3 Perseus receivers, recording the entire AM band simultaneously, with antennas beamed to different directions, whenever conditions merit serious DXing.

It is indeed quite amazing, but there are several caveats: We need to have 3,000-ft monster antennas, reception is only possible in northern Finland, and good conditions are still rare.

You say you only have electric heating in the cabin, as well as electric service for everything else. Are there large power lines, and substations, nearby? Seems like a long distance for the utilities to run power. I have pretty bad Foul Weather Corona noise at my QTH, due to high-voltage lines.
@Mikareport Жыл бұрын
There is a relatively small powerline going along the highway, so connecting our cabin to it was not a big deal. The powerline does cause some interference, but it is not too bad.

Mika, can you recommend most powerful MW stations from US Alaska to RX on moderate antennas in winter? May be 50KW power and so on. Thanks.
@Mikareport 2 жыл бұрын
If you're located in northwestern Russia, first I'd recommend traveling to the far north, for instance the Kola Peninsula. You won't hear a single Alaskan station in St. Petersburg without a very long and directional antenna. In the north, KBRW 680 AM has the strongest signal. Other powerful stations are 750 KFQD, 970 KFBX, and 1170 KJNP.

Thanks for the nice tour Mika and of course the perfect reception report @ 2274 km from my little LPAM station in Holland!! Fourteen 1 km long beverage antennas is quite impressive, a first class UNDERSTATEMENT :-)). After repairs last week, my humble KiwiSDR is back online, when you are at home, you can listen to many LPAM stations. Of course a Wellbrook ALA1530LN loop is nothing but for Dutch man-made BULK noises :-(, it is quite a nice control receiver for my LPAM station 4 kms further in a small forrest area. Next days a new challenge to master, I increasingly have corona effects at the end of the antenna, nice to see but annoiing because you HEAR the station at ground level! Maybe a corona ring will help so I am off-air when the weather is okay to perform repairs. Maybe you can reply or send an e-mail about this question, where do you get the power from and how do you succeed in eliminating power line noise for the big beverage antennas? 73's and greetz from René (PE0RL / Album AM / www.albumam.nl ), Uden - The Netherlands.
@Mikareport 3 жыл бұрын
Hi René! Many thanks for your compliments! It was indeed a great pleasure and a very happy surprise to catch your station in Lapland! We are connected to the electric grid. The main powerline is along the road, and its noise remains a bit of a problem here as well. The main powerline runs 200-300 meters from the cabin, but it only affects the antenna that is closest to it, our 60-degree wire, which starts about 100 meters from the powerline, and runs mostly parallel. All the antennas have a coax feed cable, which should protect from most of the noise. This noise is detectable only during daytime when signal levels are low, and after sunset it doesn't make any difference. We have purposefully placed all the remaining Beverage antennas further from the powerline, even at the expense of a slight loss in signal level due to having a longer coax feed.
