My second report for 2007: I've been listening from home as most of my antennas at the
barn are not working. Most of the damage at the barn seems to be from wind, but some
animals running thru the wires may have happened also. From home so far this winter:
395 NDBs of which only 35 were all time 'new from home' NDBs.
The session of 08 November 2007 UTC was the best so far this season with 70 beacons
heard, 16 new from home, and NDBs in Alaska and Nunavut heard.
The home log link below is up to date.
I'll be trying to get the antennas at the barn fixed later this week.
Of the 16 beverages at the barn only 3 are working properly now.
I brought the barn NDB log up to date today (13 Nov 07) by removing
all the beacons I've heard about that are no longer on the air (that
I have not heard). Ones that I have heard since I moved to Colorado
are of course part of my totals here so I left them in. Since I have
not done any beacon listening from the barn yet this winter, there are
no logging for the current season in the log.
When everything is working again this will be the LF antenna farm at the barn:
16 Beverages ( 0°, 30°, 60°, 2x90°, 110°, 130°, 150°,
2x170°, 190°, 240°, 270°, 290°, 310°, and 330°.
(The 60°, one 90°, 110°, 130°, 150°, one 170°, 240°, 270°
and 290° antennas are terminated and thus unidirectional,
the others are unterminated and thus bidirectional, during
this session. The duplicate 90° and 170° wires are used
for phasing.
I will be terminating the others as I work on each one.
The logs/databases below will be up to date as soon as I send a log to the reflector. It only takes a few seconds to upload them
with the new faster internet connection so I will update them any time they change.
My logs are also databases of beacons which can be expected to be heard across North America, which I
do my best to keep up to date as to calls, frequencies, and status of all beacons which may be heard away from the coasts.
Listeners on the coasts may also hear a few beacons not listed here, but can pick them up from RNA.
