Comments and highlights of the July 2024 MW Results  
The MW station log is now complete, less MP3 files.  Conditions continue to be challenging with the sunspots near solar max. The July 31 and Aug 01 sessions were terrible.

Overall MW Highlights and Observations:
--10 Alaskans is about what would be expected in July; we got 11 in late June 2023
--Only 8 Hawaiians, very poor despite graveyard KEWE 1240 being in on two mornings
--57 Australians is decent, with lots of live Olympics action. South Australia (Adelaide) was unusually strong
--Good Aussie X-Band included SEN from Adelaide on 1629, also heard here last year
--37 New Zealand stations included many 1 and 2 KW Kiwis
--Amazing grey line enhanced TIS/HAR reception from Wyoming at dusk on 1710 Khz Aug 01 (10 W).
--The DKAZ vactrol was again having issues. Noise incoming on the wires and 1230 Khz was a jumble with no KIFW.  The Hawaiian graveyard 1240 KEWE was in though.
--KTKN 930 was having major TX modulation issues, as reported in the IRCA message group.

Comments and highlights of the July 2024 NDB Results
Noise on longwave was horrendous and not easily solved as in past visits. For the third night the vactrol was disconnected and replaced with fixed termination, although it was working, due to the discovery of noise in the vactrol wires. LW wasn't really any better after the fix. It may have something to do with the standing water as we had to erect the DKAZ in rubber boots with standing water everywhere. The wind turbine noise was also the loudest I have ever heard it. I was thinking LW NDBs would be a complete wash but was able to hear 20 of the more powerful Alaskans that managed to punch through. MW was a different story on the 30th with decent propagation and a good signal from 1630 TM (New Zealand).

Six days later I would do way better with NDBs at the Rockwork DXpedition with the quiet and low noise floors associated with that very different style of DXing. But TM 1630 was notably absent there.

    • Equipment Used:

    Radios:
    Microtelecom Perseus SDR     Used as primary. Most are using Jaguar software to provide enhanced recording graphics.
    Airspy HF+ Discovery SDR     (served as standby backup for this DXpedition).
    KiwiSDR Network SDR for real time remote access to our DXpedition. (Provided and set up by my DX partners)
    Antennas:
    160 ft /49 mtr DKAZ at 275 degrees     with vactrol termination. Vactrol disconnected the third night for noise mitigation

    Ancillary Devices:
    Bodnar Mini GPS Clock Jeroen provided this unit for precise offset management (used with Jaguar)
    Sola SLS-05-030-1     linear (non-switching) regulated power supply 5.0000V @3.0 A    . Extremely RF quiet.
    Numerous Jameco 12V 500ma linear regulated wall wart power supplies
    Tripp-Lite Isobar 6 isolated, filtered metal multiple AC outlet bar with surge protection
    Dell "2 in 1" 11.6-inch netbook (Win 10) 2TB internal SSD. FT-240 ferrite toroid type 77 material on power supply and printer cable (used by Perseus).
    Samsung EVO 2-TB external backup/ transfer SSD. I do not trust spinning drives.
    Wellbrook FLG-100LN broadband amplifier: one used on the DKAZ
    Wellbrook ALA100M modules and power supply (standby backup duty at this DXpedition, also used for air travel)
    31-foot orange J-Kite fiberglass poles (2) and electric fence step-ins (3) for the DKAZ with pre-measured wires
    16 and 20 foot segmented fiberglass "Wonderpoles" and weighted (with concrete) tip-resistant stands (used at Rockwork 4 only; too wet here to erect)
    350 feet RG8X coax with BNC connectors (Available for flag but not used)
    Common Mode Choke FT-240-77. We ended up using a type 75 choke with similar characteristics.
    Vactrol indoor (9-turns pot) and outdoor unit with power supply. We used Chuck's and had some noise issues with the wires but it definitely worked.
    Mini Circuits  6-way splitter for antenna sharing.
    Timewave DSP-59+ for beacons right at the noise floor, used in analysis after DXpedition
    CMMA Military Tritium Lensatic Compass for DKAZ alignment. Add 15° to magnetic reading to obtain true orientation..
    Yuneec Q500 Typhoon 4K camera drone didn't bring it due to flooded standing water conditions.
    Rubber Boots: A necessity for erecting and tear-down of the DKAZ this time. Lots of ankle deep standing water out there!
