Last Saturday we went on a mini dx-camp led by Rocco in Maricá, Rio de Janeiro.
Lat/Lon position:
S 22°57’42.20″
O 42°50’36.88″
We launched a mini bog and a longwire, both 200 meters length and also parallel.
During gray line, we could appreciate good signals from Asia, Midle East, Africa and even Europe, from 20:00 to 23:00 UTC.
575 kHz – Farda
1503 kHz // 1557 kHz – WYFR Taiwan
1431 kHz – Sawa, Djibouti
1575 – Farda
1197 kHz – WYFR Lesotho
1296 kHz – Sudan
1196,5 kHz – Angola (tent)
1323 kHz – BBC WS, Cyprus
1170 kHz – Sawa, UAE
657 kHz – Pulpit, South Africa
1557 kHz – France Info
1512 kHz – Saudi Arabia (Jedah)
1503 kHz – Iran
During day ligth at the remote site chosen for the mini DX-Camp. Good signals from Africa, Asia, Middle East, and also Europe. DXing started 20:00 UTC and ended 23:30 UTC.
We used an AOR7030+ and Icom R75 with optional filters for better selectivity and AGC mod to enhance AM mode.
Curiously, both radios showed similar performance, with similar antennas.
I started uploading some videos to Youtube , www.youtube.com/sarmento2k to show in loco our experience.
Farda, Middle East, UAE with clear sound heard during sunset. Mini Beverages with 200 meters length, over the sand of the beach, far from electrical noise sources.
I’ll post a more detailed report and some photos of the beach and describe our experience in nulling stations from São Paulo State (east-west direction, aligned to Africa, São Paulo is directly backwards).
Best regards
