Listening to LRA 36<\/h1>\n

by TomL<\/strong><\/p>\n

I finally had time to go outdoors to listen to LRA 36, Antarctica.\u00a0 People were gushing about how well it is being received.\u00a0 My location was a park across the street from the Forest Preserve I usually go to (the Forest Preserves are shutdown and gates locked after sundown).\u00a0 Even though it was after sunset, this Park has no gate or chain to prevent people from parking there.\u00a0 In the dark, I setup the trusty amplified Loop-on-Ground antenna, SDR, and laptop.\u00a0 Solar Flux Index about 179, K index 2.<\/p>\n

Started recording and, NOTHING! ARRGH.\u00a0 But I had just heard it at home in the noise!?!?\u00a0 Waited about two minutes and all of a sudden music started playing in the middle of a song.\u00a0 S6 \u2013 S7 strength with lots of fading.\u00a0 Very cool.\u00a0 20 minutes later, went off the air.\u00a0 Then 10 minutes later, came back on again in the middle of another song.\u00a0 They must be tweaking the transmitter.\u00a0 This feels like the 10 kW transmitter; no way could a 1.5 kW be this loud over 12000 kilometers!\u00a0 Also, an advantage with IQ recording of a spectrum is I could tune into it later.\u00a0 Good thing because between their tweaking the transmitter, my SDR, and the crazy propagation, I had to tune to 15475.983 kHz in order to get the USB signal perfectly in pitch.<\/p>\n

For your listening enjoyment if you have not had a chance to hear it clearly, I have uploaded both recordings to archive.org where you can listen as long as you want.\u00a0 Worth listening to, playing music of Argentina music bands.\u00a0 Happy Listening!\u00a0 Here is the link to Archive.org<\/a> and the audio files are also embedded below:<\/p>\n
