FEBRUARY DX?
February is not known for DX in the Northeastern
US, but sometimes it happens and some lucky person happens to be at the right place at the right time to catch it. So it happened to Chris Lucas during the warm spell the northeast experienced on February 20 and 21. Chris writes on the TV and FM DX Facebook group: “I guess February DX can
happen! Here in Poughkeepsie last night, tropo to Ohio, also with one new Pennsylvania log, WHVL-LD 27/29 State College, PA, 15 kw, 221 miles. 29.1 is My Network, and 29.2 is called "Bob's B" (don't know what that means) and they carry "Buzzr". This logged as I was literally climbing into bed for the night. Four Ohio signals noted: WFMJ 20/21 Youngstown with sub-channel 21.2 "WBCB"... fake in-house call letters. Also WVPX-23 Akron, noted seventh sub-channel 17.1 WDLI, The WDLI 49/17 Canton itself 2 minutes later. And finally WKYC 17/3 Cleveland noted with new sub-channel, 3.4 "Quest, distance champ for the night at 405 miles.”
SDR OBSERVATIONS
Keith McGinnis makes some observations on the
various SDRs out there and he writes about his newest SDR, the Airspy HF+, and others.
“New firmware upgrade and it actually decreased the noise floor a little on MW and increased sensitivity. This SDR (the HF+) might actually be better than the Perseus from about 300 khz to 30 mhz. If I had to rate the SDR's on MW and HF I have had or still have with a point score from 1-10 this is how it would look.

MARCH 2018 ··· 2 ··· THE MAILBOX
Airspy HF+ 9 (doesn't get a 10 due weak signals below 300 khz and the fact the widest recordings are at 768 khz)
ELAD 8.5 (less sensitive
than either the Perseus or HF+ but it's recording bandwidth and nice software package make this a close second below 30 mhz)
Perseus 8.0 (easy to use
software excellent sensitivity but a somewhat higher noise floor
and tinny audio....if you supplant the native software for Studio 1 it comes up a bit but still below the ELAD)
I won't even bother to rate the RSP1A (crappy
ergonomics and too much overload....at least for me) and the 1st SDR--The SDR IQ (overloaded and only 192 khz bandwidth)
On FM the ELAD is still king. ELAD S2 9.5 (great audio, excellent RDS
response with SDR SPY, easy to use software, etc, and 6 mhz of recording bandwidth.)
Airpsy R1 8.5 (better than I originally thought...it
has grown on me. Sensitivity at par with the ELAD but audio and RDS not up to ELAD Standards. 8 mhz worth of recording and bandwidth a plus but large recording files a downer...Overall good software SDR# --think easier to use version of SDR Console)
Perseus and FM Plus 7.5 (a nice combo along
with the software...audio is pedestrian but is better with Studio 1...expensive and limited to 2 mhz recording bandwidth).
Airspy HF+ 6 for now (audio is good but the
recording bandwidth is a killer for recording dx, etc.) After the recent firmware upgraded-which improved an already great MW performance-I feel it might have hurt FM performance...still too early to tell. I thought it might end up being a good single Channel monitor during trop..we shall see)
Overall the ELAD is the best bang for the buck
followed by either of the Airspy offerings.
SDR Software I'd rate in the following order: ELAD Studio 1 SDR # Perseus and FM plus SDR Console (getting better) SDR Uno (truncated version of Studio 1, hard to
get used to..maybe in time) HDSDR (wish I could like it better...maybe give it
another whirl) ***
The only SDRs that Keith wasn’t too thrilled about are the RSPs from SDRplay. I have two of them (8mhz bandwidth) plus an Airspy mini with
6mhz bandwidth and these days those are all I use. You can get a little overload sometimes with any of the three I just listed, but they work fine in my location. You can even get some on an FDM-S2 if you live in the wrong location. Supposedly the HF+ does not overload, but the trade off is in its small bandwidth.
And finally, I
looked at the Elad home page today and found a price for the
FDM-S3. Wouldn’t you know it, the price was in Euros. You can buy it from their website for 949 Euros. That converts to $1169.89. I expect everybody to run over to the Elad site and pick one up at that ridiculously low price. I have not seen the S3 listed on Elad’s US website yet.
When looking for an SDR, consider what bands you want to use it on, the cost, how much spectrum you want to see, Also consider what software is available for it. Some is simple but some is complicated. They all do the same functions (mostly) but in different ways. For example, notching out an AM signal is much easier with HDSDR than with the Elad software.
Mike Schaffer writes in the WTFDA Forums that
he has, and can order, DTMB converter boxes right from the factory for those who want to use them to look for Cuban DTV stations. If you live in the south, you might be interested. Please see this thread:

A number of stations either went dark or enacted Channel Sharing Agreements on the 23 rd. 90-day extensions granted for a number of stations mean this will happen again on April 23 rd.
According to my count, 133 stations told the FCC they wished to enter Channel Sharing Agreements. (CSAs) This includes CSAs agreed to before the auction, and stations which indicated they wished toenter a CSA after the auction.
Of those 133 stations, 98 have filed agreements. 27 have instead surrendered their licenses and gone dark. That leaves eight stations unaccounted for. I believe they all have extensions until April tofind a partner & get their paperwork filed.
Three of the 98 were filed more or less at the last minute. WRNN-TV sharing on WWOR-TV is not particularly unusual. The other two, in northern Virginia, are worth a few words.
WNVC Fairfax and WNVT Goldvein are both located in the Washington, DC market. Both stations sold their spectrum in the auction and told the FCC they sought to enter a post-auction CSA. They later filed for an extension of time to file that CSA – and indicated they planned to share with commonly-owned stations.
WNVC and WNVT do indeed have co-owned sister stations: WCVE-TV Richmond and WHTJ Charlottesville. However, neither station is in the Washington market. (Richmond and Charlottesville are each their own markets) My understanding was that a CSA must involve stations in the same market.
We now see how they made this work. WNVC will share on WHTJ – and change its principal community (“city of license”) to Culpeper, Virginia. Culpeper is about as close to Charlottesville as you can get – and still be in the Washington market. Similarly, WNVT will share on WCVE-TV and change its principal community to Spotsylvania Court House.
Note the temporary ATSC 3.0 installation in Las Vegas for April's NAB Convention. Given the near total lack of tropo in that part of the country I doubt anyone will be DXing these:)

FCC Will Open April Window For Auction-Displaced LPTVsStations, translators can file for new channels where space is availableWritten for Broadcasting & Cable by John Eggerton [Feb 9, 2018]Source: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/washington/fcc-will-open-april-window-auction-displaced-lptvs/171682
The FCC has set the schedule for low-power TVs and translators displaced in the incentive auction totry and find new channels, inclduing advising stations to identify new channels as close to existing broadcasters as possible, echoing advice from Microsoft, which wants as much of the remaining spectrum used for unlicensed wireless as possible.
In a public notice issued Friday (Feb. 9), the FCC's Media Bureau and Incentive Auction Task Force said the "special displacement window" for filing applications for new channels opens April 10 and closes May 15.
The FCC also released a study to help stations figure out what new channels will be available in the new, repacked, TV bands. Actually the FCC study identifies channels that won't be available because they are being used by non-displaced LPTVs and translators or full-power TV's or Class A LPVTS, which were protected in the repack.
The existing channels of LPTVs and translators were not protected in the congressional legislation that created the auction and necessitated the repack, but those displaced in the process are being given a "space available" option to apply for them. Noone is guaranteed a new channel, but the FCC will try to accommodate as many as possible.
The application process is not like a musical chairs game, where first last in loses. If there are mutually exclusive applications--both parties want the same channel or one assigment precludes the other, the FCC will give them a chance to cure it among themselves before designating that license for an auction between the parties.
The FCC is also advising those looking for new channels outside the top 40 DMA's to stay close to existing stations "to help provide flexibility in the future." That sounds like the FCC could be looking to free up even more TV spectrum in that flexible future? NAB was vetting the notice at press time and an FCC spokesperson was not available for comment. But Microsoft has been suggesting such language to the FCC as it pushes for as much contiguous white spaces spectrum between TV channels as it can get.
In fact, according to a document from the FCC auction docket, the advisory tracks with Microsoft's recommended addition to the notice, except that the confined the advice to markets below top 40, while microsoft wanted it to go to 15 larger markets.
Microsoft counsel Paul Margie said in a letter to the commission Feb. 5: "Microsoft recommends that the Commission provide the following guidance to broadcasters participating in the Special Displacement Window for low-power television (“LPTV”) and translator stations:
Given the public interest in promoting the efficient use of spectrum, the Incentive Auction Task Force and Media Bureau encourage LPTV and TV translator licensees operating outside of the largest 25 DMAs to select new channels for displaced stations that are adjacent to channels in use by other broadcast televisionstations. This will preserve spectrum for future uses and allow for maximum flexibility for all stations on a going forward basis.
The FCC language was:
Given the public interest in promoting the efficient use of spectrum, we encourage LPTV/translator stations operating outside of the largest 40 DMAs to select new channels for displaced stations that areadjacent to channels in use by other broadcast television stations to help provide flexibility in the future.
MARCH 2018 ··· 38 ··· APRIL WINDOW FOR LPTVs
When a station has studied the FCC study datas and identified a channel not in use, and not liable to cause interference to one in, use, it needs to file a construction permit.
The FCC is suspending its general freeze on displacement applications, which is what opens the window, and reinstating it at 11:59 p.m. May 15.
Stations that don't file in that window will have to wait until the freeze is ultimately lifted.
The FCC is trying to limit the number of station facilities changes within the Rubik’s cube of the larger repack of close to a thousand stations.
The FCC last month froze minor LPTV facilities changes signaling the displacement window was about to open.
Not surprisingly, the LPTV Spectrum Rights Coalition is seeking proposals from consulting engineers for displacement studies in advance of the window, preferable at a group rate.
"Finally, the day of judgement has arrived for the 1000s displaced by the incentive auction LPTV and TV translators," said Spectrum Rights Coalition Director Mike Gravino "[T]he Public Notice and corresponding FCC data will keep the communications counsel and consulting engineers in business for quite a few months, as this is not an easy issue to understand. Good luck to all which need to file, and remember, this is a collaborative window, and those with the biggest checkbooks will be happy. Thanks Congress!"
