SW: primi ascolti con il ricevitore SDRplay RSPdx

Primi ascolti "easy listening" in onde corte a Milano città con il ricevitore SDRplay RSPdx

Nel complesso un buon rx "multiuso", dalle onde lunghe alle UHF, dal prezzo abbordabile. Soprattutto in basso è stato migliorato rispetto ai precedenti ricevitori della SDRplay
Le prime prove sono state effettuate con il software della casa, SDRuno, che non è proprio facile da usare... nel senso che occorre studiare il manuale, peraltro aggiornato e ben fatto.


Un aspetto che non mi piace è che il guadagno RF va regolato manualmente. E quindi quando si salta dalle medie alle corte, alle VHF occorre tenerlo sotto controllo e dargli un'aggiustatina al fine di ottenere il migliore rapporto segnale/rumore ovvero la migliore sensibilità

Ancora in attesa di miglioramento (ma SDRplay ha già fatto sapere che il programma sarà implementato) la sezione registrazione. In particolare manca un scheduler serio. Al momento è possibile programmare una sola registrazione. - Altre informazioni CLICCA QUI

DXpedition in Sheigra (Scotland) - The big log

Panorama di Sheigra. Pochi disturbi elettrici urbani!

Per chi è interessato al DX in onde medie, ma non solo, è stato pubblicato il (lungo) log degli ascolti effettuati a Sheigra, nel nord della Scozia, durante la DXpedition numero 58.

Per scaricarlo CLICCATE QUI - To download CLICK HERE

This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic.

You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html

Fiorenzo Repetto ci ha lasciati. Un radioascoltatore gentile e curioso

Sempre con una radio accesa. Fiorenzo Repetto

Ci ha lasciati l'amico Fiorenzo Repetto. Se ne è andato a 68 anni. Un radioascoltatore di lungo corso che, pur utilizzando anche i ricevitori SDR, aveva una grande passione per i ricevitori di una volta.

Il suo grande amore erano le radio Geloso, che dominavano sul suo desk. Come ricordano i suoi amici era stato uno sperimentatore fin da ragazzo. Una volta, raccontava divertito, montò anche un radar sul tetto di casa disturbando tutti i televisori dei vicini. 

Era appassionato di utility, radioamatori ma anche delle stazioni broadcasting. Tante lettere e tante QSL quando le mail e Facebook erano ben lontani da venire. 

Quello che molti appassionati di radio che lo hanno conosciuto non dimenticheranno mai è la sua cortesia e la disponibilità a dare una mano a chi glielo chiedesse. Ma anche la sua curiosità e la voglia di imparare cose nuove. Lo ricordiamo e lo ricorderemo con affetto e simpatia.

La Stampa, nell'edizione di Savona, la sua città lo ricorda con un articolo che vi invitiamo a leggere: CLICCA QUI
