14 STATIONS DGPS DES USA

C'est en effet 14 sattions DGPS des USA que j'ai pu capté des dernières semaines grâce aux conditions de propagation exceptionnelles que nous rencontrons. J'utilise le SDR-IQ comme récepteur et l'antenne active de Roelof ou l'antenne loop (grand format). Voici les stations:

L'ANTENNE DE ROELOF !

noreply@blogspirit.com () — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:42:00 +0100

Vous avez peu de place, vous êtes intéressé par l'écoute des fréquences NAVTEX, des station DGPS voire des NDB alors l'antenne active de Roelof va vous permettre de découvrir les bandes LF avec de grandes possibilités de DX.

Tout d'abord, parlons de la taille de l'antenne. Une photo va resumer tous les commentaires que je pourrais faire:

Pas plus grande qu'un crayon de bois !

Comme c'est une antenne active, il y a un boitier qui permet de connecter l'antenne au récepteur et également à une alimentation 12V:

RX ----------------- Boitier d'alimentation ----------------------------------- Antenne de réception

Pour profiter de cette antenne au maximum de ces possibilités, vous devez l'installer sur un support non conducteur comme un mât en bois et l'eloigner de toute source de parasites. L'hauteur idéale est à trouver en effectuant des essais pour trouver le meilleur rapport signal / bruit.

Personnellement je l'utilise entre 0 et 3 MHz et cette antenne donne d'excellents résultats en NDB, NAVTEX et DGPS.

Roelof est hollandais, radioamateur et chasseur de NDB depuis quelques années maintenant. Il utilise son antenne et a déjà entendu plus de 1500 balises NDB.

Voici son log du 21 Septembre 2009 dans lequel il évoque que la réception de balises canadiennes:

J'espère que ces résultats vous donneront envie de tester cette antenne et de voir que même avec un petit format on peut réaliser de superbes DX !

Pour finir, le prix de l'antenne fabriquée par Roelof est d'environ 45 € (en fonction du port).
