30-50 MHz 1967-1979 (from notes and my VUD VHF Utility DX column reports) This is mainly a retrospective from decades ago and NOT meant to be a current guide to 30-50 MHz occupants (newer such lists can be found elsewhere on the Web by VK3OT et al.) Some prominent signals (the French and BBC Band I TV) have been gone since the mid 1980s, while many low-VHF 2x public safety agencies have moved to trunked UHF systems. Other (more-identifiable) broadcast services have emerged in that part of the spectrum (notably the several 47-49 MHz Chilean FM music stations running up to a few kw with well-located antenna systems - http://www.qsl.net/ce3sad/6m.html). (1967) Radio Shack Patrolman with whip (Sept) (1969) Radio Shack Patrolman with whip (c. June) replacement unit never seemed as good as the prior one (1970) Allied A-2586 with 30' long-wires at 12' (Mar) (1971) replacement unit (Jan) (1973) SX-62 with 30' long wires at 12' (Apr) (1974) freqs measured with freq counter, based on Dec 1972 QST article, using the 10th harmonic from a Precision E-200-C to zero beat (Apr) (1975) SP-600-JX-10 with 30' long wires at 12' (Sept) ICM BAX-1 tuned preamp (1979) Radio Shack Micronta 351 hand-held frequency counter (Apr) (actually gotten so that I could accurately navigate the Swan 250 up at 51 MHz for New Zealand and 52 MHz for Australia) (1979) Bearcat 210 scanner with 11-m ground plane at 14' (Aug) The Patrolman used a 10.7-MHz i.f. so images were not the problems that they became on the Allied A-2586 with its 4.5-MHz i.f. (the mess at 27-MHz was clearly audible up at 36 MHz, and WWV-25 at 34 MHz, etc). Also, if a long enough antenna were used on the Allied direct 4.5-MHz signal feed into the i.f. would become apparent. ("parked" jammers in the 10-MHz region were never noticed entering the Patrolman's i.f.) The selectivity of the sets used before the SP-600 was broad (e.g., the 33-MHz US fire departments were like "low", "mid", and "high" and the 35 and 43-MHz pager sets of two frequencies could just be determined). The SX-62 used the same 10.7-MHz i.f. strip for 30-50 MHz as it did for 88-108 MHz! Any twidling with its i.f. xfrmr cans to optimize one band would mess up the other. That set was used primarily for FM-DXing 1973-79 at the tradeoff of poorer selectivity on 30-50 MHz (which when trying to determine the F2 MUF isn't always such a bad thing). The selectivity of the SP-600 (AM) was jaw- dropping in comparison - especially in separating the many 33-MHz US fire department channels (which had previously been rather jumbled together). It was only with the later SP-600 and Bearcat that the profound differences between AM and FM could be noted (needed to slope-detect FM on SP-600 while the Bearcat was pretty deaf to AM audio). The freqs measured 1974-79 served well to later program the scanner. This list just covers the first few months of use of the Bearcat (only 10 pogrammable channels) when it was still in much of a learning curve. It also suffered from images in that the local oscillator for its 10.8-MHz i.f. ran lower than the tuned so that the 2nd harmonic when tuned to the 33-MHz band would beat against 35-MHz signals and reproduce them as well (.e.g., 33.93 makes l.o. 23.13, and 46.26 to beat with 35.46 and appear there too). This "problem" was known for well over a year before I got a unit. Due to this (and other "birdies" - this was well before CPUs were widely used in many appliances) the Search mode was of limited value. The unit failed (power supply ?) in c. Sept 1981 and a 16-channel 210XL replaced it (lasting to early 1987) followed by a 175-XL (keyboard failure in Feb 1999) and the current PRO-2048. Due to health reasons, I quit my VUD Column editorship in early 1981 after over 10 years at it. http://www.qsl.net/vud/vudindex.htm for those As it was (and still is), 99% of what is heard in 30-50 MHz remains in the realm of unidentified. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30.00 A0 30.01 30.02 French (Canada ?) 2-cyc A2 (Canadian hospital pagers) 30.03 hf harmonic 30.04 2-cyc A2 (Canadian hospital pagers) 30.05 30.06 Portugese 30.07 30.08 30.09 Spanish 30.10 30.11 30.12 French (Canada ?) 2-cyc A2 30.13 30.14 30.15 30.16 Spanish 30.17 30.18 30.19 30.20 30.21 BBC Ascension Island relay 15-MHz band harmonic 30.22 2-cyc A2; Spanish; WYFR (Scituate, MA) 15-MHz band harmonic 30.23 30.24 Spanish pager 30.25 Anglo 30.26 WYFR (Scituate, MA) 15-MHz band harmonic 30.27 WYFR (Scituate, MA) 15-MHz band harmonic 30.28 30.29 30.30 A0; Deutche Welle Caribbean (Antigua) relay 15-MHz band harmonic 30.31 hf harmonic, Brazil ?
