[Lowfer] Fwd: ROU 153 kHz AM

[J D]

Gedas, JJY 40 kHz is pretty much a regular here in southeast Kansas on 
nothing more than a 40 foot vertical with a -6 dB buffer amplifier at 
the base, whenever the static is low enough. It is usually at its best 
after midnight, but sometimes has been noted not long after sunset in 
the dead of winter.

Receivers have ranged from Kenwood R-5000 to ICOM R-75 to Kenwood 
TS-590SG, and even a TASCAM DR-05 digital recorder.

The latter, operating in 24 bit PCM mode [WAV] at 96 kHz sample rate, 
served as an RF recorder at the 40 kHz carrier frequency, playing back 
the line output into an R-5000. I have used it to listen directly to the 
Russian ALPHA navigation signals through headphones, and hope to try 
using it someday to record the on-channel RF signals from SAQ, too.
