Il ritorno della australiane in banda tropicale

Le radio australiane dei territori del Nord in banda tropicale sono tornate! Sono rimaste spente per diversi giorni.  Qualcuno aveva temuto un altro passo avanti nella desertificazione delle onde corte, in particolare delle bande tropicali... ma almeno per questa volta così non è stato.

Ecco il log di stasera:
4835 13/9 1835 VL8A ABC Alice Springs, Australia, talks, songs, weak/fair
4910 13/9 *2130 VL8T ABC Tennant Creek, Australia, talks //4835, weak
5025 13/9 *2132 VL8K ABC Katherine, Australia, talks, weak //4835 started a little later than 4910

Monitoraggio onde corte. Benedizioni ai pescatori su 8989 kHz

Deve essere scoppiata la DRM mania. A distanza di poco tempo dall'annuncio del Titus II (leggi su questo Blog CLICCA QUI) ecco arrivare quello del nuovo ricevitore DRM Gospell GR-216

Dalla Gospell viene annunciato come il rappresentante della nuova generazione di ricevitori DRM a prezzo accessibile e alta qualità, ovvero con sensibilità elevata, registratore incorporato, e due input di antenne esterne, oltre allo stilo. Bande coperte: MW, SW, FM con RDS. (vedi la presentazione dul sito dell'azienda CLICCA QUI e di DRM.org CLICCA QUI)

Un buon articolo ragionato, a firma di Andrea Lawendel, lo potete trovare sul blog Radiopassioni: CLICCA QUI buona lettura.

QSL da Radio Pio XII - Incredibile ma vero

Incredibile ma vero: Radio Pio XII, 5952.5 kHz, Bolivia,  ha confermato!

Il DXer che fece l'impresa è Roberto Pavanello. E' riuscito ad avere una risposta dall'emittente boliviana dopo soli 34 anni di inutili tentativi, decine di IRC inviati, un centinaio di adesivi di radio FM italiane allegati ai rapporti. A compiere il miracolo è stato Messanger di Facebook, con una registrazione allegata.

Titus II, ricevitore SDR completo con anche il DRM

Titus II, ricevitore SDR Android touchscreen AM, FM, DRM e forse altro 

Da anni alcune emittenti continuano a trasmettere in DRM in onde medie e corte. Però mancano i ricevitori e quindi l'audience, che non può certo essere rappresentata dai radioappassionati che si cimentano con pc e software vari nella decodifica.

Adesso ecco che arriva un nuovo ricevitore SDR per emissioni analogiche e digitali, il Titus II. L'ennesimo potremmo dire, perché tra quelli entrati sul mercato senza successo e quelli annunciati o anche realizzati ma non commercializzati, di radio capaci di ricevere anche il DRM ne abbiamo viste diverse in questi anni.

Questa però potrebbe avere qualche chance in più. Esteticamente, almeno per noi italiani, è di sicuro bruttina, ma il core sembra interessante. In sostanza è un piccolo computer con sistema operativo Android. Insomma un tablet inserito in uno scatolotto con due altoparlanti a lato. A me pare interessante il fatto che sotto Android girano parecchie app dedicate alla radio. Comprese alcune che permettono di usare anche una chiavetta SDR.

Non ci sono manopole, se non una virtuale. Si lavora "in touchscreen" da 7". E' possibile ricevere in AM e FM, ma anche in DRM da 100 kHz a 2 GHz. La presenza di un micro slot SD, dovrebbe permettere di inserire una scheda SD per registrare.

Ho contattato il produttore, PantronX, che mi ha risposto "a stretto giro di mail". Mi ha spiegato che la radio costerà ben sotto i 100 dollari e sarà distribuita verso la fine dell'anno, nel quarto trimestre. Mi si spiega anche che altre applicazioni potranno gestire i segnali digitali DAB/DAB+. E' anche allo studio l'ipotesi di rendere la radio capace di decodificare la TV digitale... quindi diventerebbe qualcosa di più di un ricevitore. Inoltre, sempre secondo il produttore, il concetto base di questa radio permetterà lo sviluppo di nuove applicazioni da terze parti dedicate alla ricezione utilizzando "le ricche librerie RF esistenti per Linux".

Che dire? Aspettiamo e vediamo. Se sono radio riceveranno...

Monitoraggio radio brasiliane in onde corte

Ecco un monitoraggio delle radio brasiliane ascoltabili a Milano ieri sera in onde corte, nonostante il noise. Bande tropicali piuttosto silenziose. Tra l'altro in questi giorni sono inattive le radio australiane, ma anche Radio Rebelde 5025 kHz e Radio Havana 5040 erano silenti.
