W1AW Code Practice MP3 Files

Impariamo il CW con l'ARRL. Sul sito Web della più grande Associazione mondiale di Radioamatori troviamo alcune parte dedicare all'apprendimento del codice morse (CW) utile anche a chi si diletta di solo ascolto.

Tralasciando la possibilità di partecipare a contest che precedano questo tipo di emissione il quali possono essere difficoltosi per un novice apprendere il CW è senza dubbio utile per l'ascolto delle stazioni utility che operano in telegrafia o per identificare i beacon.

Avevo già parlato della stazione militare francese FAV22 che organizza corsi di telegrafia in collaborazione con la REF in un precedente post http://laradioa360gradi.blogspot.it/2014/03/fav22-impariamo-il-morse.html ora vediamo il servizio on-line offerto dalla ARRL.

La pagina di riferimento è la seguente http://www.arrl.org/code-practice-files; nella pagina viene presentato il programma e si ha la possibilità di scaricare file MP3, magari per riascoltarsi con un telefonino di ultima generazione nei momenti di pausa, con relatico testo per confrontare la propria abilità nel ricevere con quanto ascoltato. I testi non sono i solito gruppi di cinque lettere o numeri ma veri e propri testi.

e' possibile approcciarsi all'ascolto con velocità diverse che variano da 5 WPM a 40 WPM. sul sito ritroviamo anche l'archivio dei file MP3 dal 2013.

W1AW Code Practice MP3 Files

Listed here are W1AW code practice transmissions for the dates and speeds indicated. The files are in MP3 format, playable using Windows Media Player, RealPlayer or your favorite MP3 player.
The files are updated every other week.
The first link is used for streaming audio -- click on the link to have the player play the code practice as it receives it. It may also be used to download the code-practice file to disk for later playback. (In Windows, right-click on the link to the file you want to save to get a menu of options.) Not all MP3 players will treat the link the same, and some players may not work on the link type.
The second link is the actual text of the code practice file.  Please note that the text file may contain control characters.  You will hear these characters as regular Morse code prosigns or abbreviations.

Files

Text Source for W1AW Web Code Practice Files for June 24 and 25, 2014:
Text for the 5 to 15 WPM runs comes from November 2013 QST, page 85.

Text for the 20 to 40 WPM runs comes from December 2013 QST, page 90.

The various archive files are available from the following links.  Access to each other archive is also available from any of these various pages:

5 WPM files	20 WPM files
7.5 WPM files	25 WPM files
10 WPM Files	30 WPM files
13 WPM Files	35 WPM files
15 WPM Files	40 WPM files
18 WPM files

The 18 WPM is a "transition" file to help bridge the gap from 15 to
20 WPM.  The file contains word and letter groups sent at 18 WPM
with an 18 WPM character speed.

This particular file is actually part of the W1AW CW bulletin from
previous weeks.  This allows for a different transition file with
each update.

The 40 WPM file is composed of texts taken from the lower speed
files.

The various TEXT files contain the actual code practice text used in
each run.  Please note the embedded "control characters" (used to
generate the CW prosigns) are included in the text.

Please note the tone frequency is 750 Hz.

Questions or comments about these files may be directed to:

VOA Radiogram, 28-29 June 2014, CQ FD

Ancora l'A.I.R. protagonista nelle trasmissioni digitali della VOA Radiogram; la "Radio in bottiglia" torna alla ribalta in un trasmissione digitale della VOA.

Al 23° minuto l'AIR.

23:08  Associazione Italiana Radioascolto 10M river beacon, with image.

Grazie a  Kim Elliot.

Hello friends,

Some of our North American listeners may be busy this weekend because of the annual amateur radio Field Day event. If you are participating, you might want to take a break to tune in VOA Radiogram and demonstrate the concept to other radio amateurs. This weekend's program will include items that will be of interest to anyone involved in radio.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 65, 28-29 June 2014 (MFSK32):

  1:36  Program preview
 2:40  Field Day greetings to radio amateurs, with image
 5 03  VOA Cold War broadcasts from a Coast Guard cutter, with image
14:25  Scientists push for continued HAARP funding, with image
23:08  Associazione Italiana Radioascolto 10M river beacon, with image
26:30  Closing announcements

There will also be two surprise modes at the end of the show.

Please send reception reports to radiogram@voanews.com.

Again this weekend, VOA Radiogram is recorded at a sample rate of 8000 Hz. This does not seem to have any negative effect on the decoding of the digital modes, but it does make the opening and closing music sound muddy and low-fi. Now that I've remembered the Fldigi Configure > Sound Card > Wav setting, things should be back to normal next week.

VOA Radiogram transmission schedule
(all days and times UTC):
Sat 0930-1000 5745 kHz
Sat 1600-1630 17860 kHz
Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz
Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz
All via the Edward R. Murrow transmitting station in North Carolina.

This weekend, The Mighty KBC will also transmit greetings to Field Day participants this weekend. A minute of MFSK64 will be transmitted Saturday at about 1130 UTC on 6095 kHz, and Sunday at about 0130 UTC (Saturday 9:30 pm EDT) on 9925 kHz. Both frequencies are via Germany.

SAQ Transmission on 17,2 KHz

Official transmissions

Grimeton Radio Station was listed as a world heritage site because its original equipment is an exceptionally well-preserved example of the development of communication technology. In fact, it is still in working order. Grimeton (call sign SAQ) still transmits a message to the world twice a year: at the Alexanderson Day (Sunday at the end of June/beginning of July) and at Christmas Eve. Next transmission is planned to take place on the Alexanderson Day Sunday 29 June 2014.
Groups can also book an exclusive start-up demonstration as part of their visit to the world heritage site. Contact the World Heritage Grimeton for more information.

Transmissions on Alexanderson Day Sunday 29 June 2014

SAQ will be on air on Sunday 29 June. We try to start the transmitter soon after 08.30 UTC so there will be a test signal from about 08.40 UTC and a message will be sent at 09.00 UTC. A similar procedure will start at 11.30 UTC and the message will be repeated at 12.00 UTC. The frequency is 17.2 kHz CW.

Listeners reports

QSL reports can be given via:
- E-mail to: info@alexander.n.se
- or via SM bureau
- or direct by mail to: Alexander – Grimeton Veteranradios Vaenner, Radiostationen, Grimeton 72, SE-432 98 Grimeton, SWEDEN

Note: SAQ is a member of the Swedish Amateur Association (SSA) and ”QSL via bureau” is OK.

Testo del bollettino in francese.

ATLANTIC 2000

Ondes courtes et Internet

Après avoir émis en FM de 1978 à 1982, Atlantic 2000 International a été entendue pour la

première fois en ondes courtes le 6 juin 1982, sur 7325 kHz.

Les émissions suivantes ont été diffusées mensuellement jusqu’en juillet 1988.

Le premier émetteur ondes courtes, de confection locale, avait une puissance de 25 W.

Un second équipement, d’une puissance de 30 W, également de confection locale, fut mis en

service en 1984.

Nous avons testé les bandes des 48, 41, 38 et 26 mètres, et c’est la bande des 41 m qui a donné les

meilleurs résultats d’écoute en Europe.

Après plus de 19 ans d’absence, Atlantic 2000 est revenue sur les ondes le 28 octobre 2007,

sur 6280 et 6210 kHz.

De 2008 à 2010, Atlantic 2000 a diffusé ses émissions depuis l'Italie, sur les émetteurs de

Mystery Radio, puis de Radio Amica. Au mois de décembre 2010, nos programmes ont commencé

à être diffusés sur 6005 kHz, depuis le site de Kall-Krekel en Allemagne, exploité par Radio 700.

Depuis ce même site, nous pouvons émettre également sur 7310 kHz.

Depuis le 16 octobre 2011, Atlantic 2000 émet régulièrement dans la bande des 31 mètres, via MV

Baltic Radio, située à Göhren en Allemagne. La fréquence actuelle est de 9485 kHz.

Nous avons reçu une grande quantité de rapports d'écoute provenant d'Allemagne, Autriche,

Belgique, Bulgarie, Danemark, Espagne, Finlande, France, Grande-Bretagne, Grèce, Hongrie, Inde,

Italie, Japon, Kazakhstan, Lettonie, Luxembourg, Norvège, Nouvelle Zélande, Pays-Bas, Pologne,

Portugal, République Tchèque, Roumanie, Russie, Serbie, Slovaquie, Suède, Suisse, Ukraine et

USA.

Atlantic 2000 est audible dans le monde entier sur Internet.

Vous êtes très nombreux à vous connecter et à apprécier ce nouveau mode de transmission.

A bientôt sur Atlantic 2000.

o

ecco un esempio di ascolto effettuato con un software tutti italiano realizzato da 

Alberto I2PHD e  Vittorio IK2CZL  - SPECTRAN V.2.

Il programma di facile utilizzo ma comunque corredato di manuale scaricabile on-line è reperibile con altri ottimi software utilizzando il seguente link:

http://digilander.libero.it/i2phd/spectran.html

oppure direttamente sul sito:

http://www.weaksignals.com/

Ecco l’immagine ricevuta questa sera in u momento di calma atmosferica con rumore minimo. Il QSB era abbastanza profondo tipico dei queste frequenze; il ricevitore un ICOM 756 PRO l’antenna una verticale HF multi banda di circa 10 Mt, il PC un AMD 4core 3.0 Ghz. Il segnale è stato prelevato dal ricevitore utilizzando la  presa cuffia e iniettato nel PC nella presa micro separando le due apparecchiature con trasformatore di isolamento da 600 ohm.

IRDR Trial - Jakarta

Mail from:

Kim Andrew Elliott

Producer and Presenter

VOA Radiogram

Hello friends,

A coordinated shortwave broadcasting event will take place during the trial of International Radio for Disaster Relief (IRDR), during the Media Summit on Climate Change, ICTs and Disaster Risk Reduction, 5-6 June 2014, in Jakarta, Indonesia.

More information, including the transmission schedule, is here...

http://hfcc.org/humanitarian/irdrtrial.phtml

Reception might be difficult in North America. Try this web-SDR receiver in the Netherlands: htp://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

The U.S. International Broadcasting Bureau slots are 0800-0830 and 0900-0930 UTC both days. I prepared a special VOA Radiogram for this event, but VOA/IBB decided, for whatever reason, to use a BBC program instead.

The special VOA Radiogram will be transmitted this weekend, 7-8 June, during its usual four half hours...

(all days and times UTC)

Sat 0930-1000 5745 kHz

Sat 1600-1630 17860 kHz

Sun 0230-0300 5745 kHz

Sun 1930-2000 15670 kHz

All via the Edward R. Murrow transmitting station in North Carolina.

During this weekend, please send reception reports to HFCC, the shortwave frequency coordination association and organizer of  International Radio for Disaster Relief, at info@hfcc.org -- as well as to the usual VOA Radiogram address: radiogram@voanews.com .

You might mention to HFCC how text via shortwave can be useful during and after emergencies and, unlike DRM, reception does not require a special shortwave receiver.

I will send another e-mail later this week with results of our EasyPal experiment and more information about the next VOA Radiogram, program 62, 7-8 June 2014.
