TA/TP Aug 26

Monday, August 26 2019


Hi Neil. No idea what the TP's were or if I had any audio, just
looking at all the carriers this morning. If there was some
semi-recent TP offset measurements, it would be much easier to
determine. As per my post, not had a chance to run through the
recordings yet.

On the Jaguar audio recovery, yes it beats the Perseus app imo. I
highly recommend the Calliope demod mode. Actually, I am very
surprised so few NA DX'ers, domestic or TA/TP, don't use Jaguar. I was
an original Perseus adopter, sold it after many years to fund a G33DDC
and many other SDR's but luckily found a mint unit from a ham at a
nice price to solely use with Jaguar. You cannot beat Jaguar for MW
DX, domestic or TA/TP. It is what it is, the best.

The SAL-35 is indeed just a Shared Apex Loop with a 35' mast and
expanded loop dimensions compared to the standard SAL-30/20/12. I
worked with the Shared Apex Loop guru Mark Bauman, KB7GF, to get
details on the SAL-35. This is the Mk II version with a aluminum mast.
It was a beast to get up and still needs some fine tuning, but the
LF/MW gain is awesome as is.
