Mini Transat  View Printable Version

HCDX
re Mini Transat sailing tour

FRANCE 17545even again on Sunday Sept 28 txion from TDF Issoudun site on air,
15.00 UT til exact SWITCH OFF time at 15.57:10 UTC, but remaining time only EMPTY CARRIER.
So they rent a full hour time amount at public TDF organization ?

S=9+15dB backlobe strength into southern Germany again today.

Txion requested at hfcc.org database as 232 degr azimuth, 15-16 UT.

Today unused 7340 kHz channel registration shows 266 degr azimuth though.

When TX switched OFF at 15.57:10 UTC, a small signal string of S=5 remained visible on that
channel.

So seemingly only final TX power stage switched off at 15.57 UT,
and the low power exciter signal on first stage kept still getting on power ?

[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]

Same crash start at 1500 on 17545 with French male today. "Securite", "Importante", etc.
I tried 7340, but only heard jamming, possibly against National Unity Radio.
Signal strength into Masset perhaps slightly weaker than yesterday. 73, Walt

That's easy, Arthur. It's because today's broadcast was VERY short.
It only lasted 15 minutes or less. The English woman came on around 1507,
and mentioned that she was flying tomorrow, so clearly live and not robotic. 73, Walt

The biennial Mini Transat single-handed yacht race (sponsored by La
Boulangère) began on Sunday 21st September with 90 small (6.50m) boats
sailing from Les Sables d'Olonne in France, with a destination on the
first stage of the race, Santa Cruz de la Palma in the Canary Islands.

(The second stage is scheduled to begin from La Palma on 25th October,
destination Guadeloupe.)

One feature of the race is participants use paper charts and only have a
VHF radio (with around 10 mile coverage). But there is a daily shortwave
broadcast in French and English giving them weather conditions.

Two frequencies are registered on HFCC for these daily Mini Transat (MT)
weather forecasts at 1500-1600 UTC: 7340 and 17545 kHz (both 250
kilowatts from Issoudun).

17545 kHz was heard yesterday (25th Sept) at 1500 UTC by Adam Amirkhanov
in Bucharest on WRTH Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18mRyaXsEg/

However, the first stage of Mini Transat has now been cancelled with
boats sheltering in ports on the Portuguese coast because of the
impending Category 4 Hurricane Gabriele approaching from the Azores,
expected to hit the coast of Portugal on Saturday.
