Greetings Alan,
Could not go down the antenna farm now for weeks, the Radar is wiping me out on the 75m window.
I have made a formal complaint to the WIA today to try and have this stopped permanently.
I would like you and your 75m friends also to do the same, lobby it as it will not go away.
If it keeps up Alan I will give the antenna farm away and sell it all off.
Mal. VK6LC

Hi Glenn and Peter.
The silence at the top end of 80 metres has only very been brief.
The OHR has returned with a vengeance about 24/09/06, now running
apparently 24 hours a day, only with lack of propagation during day
light hours causing it not to be heard.
It is stronger than before, similar bandwidth, with deeper modulation,
making communication impossible.
It is being heard in many parts of the world and being heard in America
at 5/9 plus at times.
Here for me, it peaks at 5/9 plus 20db several hours after my sunset.
In the letter I received from Senator Helen Coonan, in regards to the
previous occurrence of the OHR,
I took the liberty in contacting Peter Marshall at the ACMA in regards
to the re-occurrence of it,
as I was invited to do so in the attached Ministerial letter.
The reason for me sending an email to John Howard, our Prime Minister,
shortly prior to his signing the
uranium export agreement with China, was to pressure the Chinese
Administration to remove the harmful
interference from the 80 metre band. The end response with pressure from
several directions was positive, although temporarily
with regard to the previous OHR intrusion.
Peter (ACMA) has asked me to lodge a report with Glenn (WIA Intruder
Watch) to make it official, as it was mentioned during the phone call
from him today, there has been NO REPORT so far from the WIA Intruder
Watch as to the re-occurrence of this major problem.
Within this is my report and complaint to ACMA and Intruder Watch and
the attatched the correspondence, sent to me from our Government.
I seek that WIA Intruder Watch lodge an IMMEDIATE report, as the
"powers that be" can not respond until the
Intruder Watch report / complaint is submitted.
The "harmful" QRN is very broad band, occupying the complete section
between 3.770mhz and 3.830mhz. .
At my location using a 2 wavelength long horizontal delta loop antenna,
the following are the times
and signal strengths, as to the build up to its peak . Once a peak is
reached, it is maintained until after my sunrise.
The QRM at its peak occupies the TOTAL band between 3.770mhz to 3.830mhz
0930 UTC Strength 7
1000 UTC Strength 9
1030 UTC Strength 9 + 10db
1100 UTC Strength 9 + 15db
1130 UTC Strength 9 + 20db.
1130 UTC, until soon after sunrise the peak is maintained
I hope a permanent diplomatic solution can still be found. Assuming that
the harmful interference is still
emanating from Hainan Island or somewhere in China, it appears there is
a translation problem between
PERMANENTLY and TEMPORARILY. I am sure they would understand the
translation between
SWITCH and BOMB.
I shall be forwarding the content of this email to all those in the
"loop", with protection to the email
address Glenn and Peter, to those who have an interest in this major
problem.
I ask you Glenn and Peter to keep me informed of the progress of the
investigation and where it is at,
so I can keep all in the "loop" informed.
There was no single voice to keep 75/80m dx operators informed in the
past, so I volunteered then, as I do now.
So, Glenn ( WIA Intruder Watch) and Peter (ACMA), your feedback shall be
appreciated by very many Amateur Radio
Operators World wide who can not use, or severly affected by this QRM in
the 75/80m Dx window. As at least
I can keep them informed during their total frustration.
At least they will know that steps are being taken to remove this OHR
from our 75/80m Dx window.
Regards,
Jim..VK5ZSA....

Greetings from VE7-land. The radar is horrendous from this side as well. Some mornings it takes out a big portion of the 75/80m band and lately it has shown up at the low end of 40m. Click this link to listen to the noise from our side on October 01, 2006 on 3.795MHz
http://www.bcdxc.org/ohr_2006_10_01_3795_ve7bz_1353z.mp3
73 de Paul, VE7BZ
Good morning all.... I have now started a process for documenting the OHR noise. Here is my audio recording from 40m this morning. All recordings will have a standard file name: OHR+ date, frequency, mycall, time and signal strength.
The OHR on 40m this morning was audible from 7030 to 7090 at S5 out of the W from my location in CN88fq
