[Lowfer] Fwd: ROU 153 kHz AM

[Dave ZL3FJ]

Interesting use for a DR-05! Must give it a try. Mines only ever been used
for recording boring stuff like speeches etc.

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.
