Friday, March 20, 2015. An Alternative Way To Power Your Perseus. While the stock, switching 5VDC power supply for the Perseus is among the quieter ones, it doesn't perform adequately in an extremely low noise environment. Linear 5V power supplies aren't abundant, and they often come at a price. It's a custom made power cable for the Perseus. It sells from the USA for a nickel short of $20, shipping. I've bought three of these, and they work perfectly. The seller claims they are "roughly 6 fe...A cable l...

Arctic DX: KONG24 - Day Five
http://arcticdx.blogspot.com/2014/10/kong24-day-five.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2014. KONG24 - Day Five. Very interesting. Solar data said "you're not supposed to hear anything. Not much for very long though. As you can see from the spectrum below, propagation varied a lot, and mostly the interesting bits came at 02:00 UTC with stations like WIBX-NY 950, WDCZ-NY 970, WSOY-IL 1340, WNSW-NY and KTBZ-OK 1430, WBEX-OH 1490 (04:00), WFLR-NY 1590, CJEU-QC 1670 and CHTO-ON 1690. Asia/Pacific was lost in noise. The remains of ocean swells pounding on my beach. Arctic ...

Arctic DX: Celebrating 40 Years As a MW DX-er
http://arcticdx.blogspot.com/2014/10/celebrating-40-years-as-mw-dx-er.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Celebrating 40 Years As a MW DX-er. On October 15, 1974 at 0230 UTC I logged my first trans-polar MW station. It was KJNP North Pole, AK on 1170, fighting with Radio Capodistria, then Yugoslavia. It wasn't necessarily meant to be. The QR-666 had terrible readout accuracy, but was very sensitive, and during early autumn I heard many interesting stations from Asia on the Tropical Bands. MW wouldn't open until mid-October, and we were impatient to say the least. Then cam...Activ...

Red line on the time scale illustrates the total strength of the stations in the band (10-kHz stations only). On the icy surface. Picture of the day features a di...

Friday, October 17, 2014. KONG24 - Day Seven. OJ and TJ leave on Saturday morning, so we were hoping for some really hefty signals last night and today. Not so.

Red line on the time scale illustrates the total strength of the stations in the band (10-kHz stations only). OK weather, light to fresh breeze, mostly dry and 1C. Complimen...
