great Post Janis ------------------------------ update from Jurgen Bartels At 0900 MSK all analog TV tx were shutdown. This spectrum shows (left to right) Cherepovets (weak), St. Petersburg, Pskow (Novosokolniki) http://dx.3sdesign.de/temp/Spectr-191021-0830-R1-shutdown.jpg http://dx.3sdesign.de/tem...

excellent post Knob Twiddler

I think channels 58 up are clear but I don't want it to mess with 4g so why the low power one may be better. would they be import tax if I order this to? no, chinese sellers are happy to under declare the value , i've never been hit with it not like some US sellers who give me a lecture - but thats...

oh wow! i'm tempted now it covers R3 -E59! what sort of transmission aerial will you be using? regarding range at UHF the bottom bit of the band always propagated better than the top half. what channels are clear for you? also check clear channels again after the 23rd when some MUXes are moving chan...

Lots of low level pings from Novosokolniki this morning but nothing seen from 5 Kanal St Petersburg

St Petersburg was formerly the stronger of the two. Is this the end?

Novosokolniki 77.2526 seems to be on today

Very weak ping here

Hopefully I can get something more conclusive later

Wasn’t sure whether to bother reporting such a transient event but I guess it shows there’s still hope of dx

St Petersburg and Novosokolniki txs still on R3 and coming through on meteor and brief E skip here this morning
I can’t confirm programme content but the tx are still on and propagating

Andrew Webster received Glubokoye and St Petersburg via meteor scatter today so the transmitters are still on today 14th October

Well a year on and once you get used to it this change has been very beneficial from a dx point of view. I have Radio Wales on the following frequencies at all times 91.1 91.3 x2 91.6 91.8 92.0 94.8 95.3 95.4 Obviously it’s much easier to identify txs in this band now half of them are relaying a dif...

No sign of 106.7 either when I had the log up

Aranmore Island off Donegal is co channel with MT Leinster but slightly offset on 94.0 I was so surprised to see a second Radio Na G on daily scatter I didn’t note whether it was lower or higher than MT Leinster but there’s only 2 Radio Na G. Txs on the channel so there’s no mistaking it Also on 94....

With the new aerial 94.9 is now open for dxing. Heres a picture of Forfar and Bressay while Bressay was on a scatter peak. Bressay is the higher of the 2 carriers Sometimes Derry appears below Forfar EC9542E9-66DA-4E42-9C92-B1B14955CEBF.jpeg According to the very useful tools on fmlist the path from...

Well that’s a shame because i can now dx on 96.4 for the first time since I started dxing in 1991!

Thanks Theme

Looks like its too minor a shower for our purposes.
I’ve not seen anything that can’t be explained by normal random scatter


Not to worry, more reliable showers are on the way.
See the meteor thread in the propagation forum for details

Back off frequency again

Brest 72.47 6kw on the new aerial this morning
So it works on the top of OIRT at least
