SDRs Now Available at the KPH Receive Site

[Richard Dillman]

I'm happy to announce that after several months of work and fine tuning we have now made several Kiwi SDRs at the KPH receive site at Point Reyes, CA publicly available.

They are split between LF/MF and HF coverage. The LF/MF receiver uses the KPH Marconi T antenna. The HF receivers use the TCI-530 omnidirectional antenna. Both have proven to be excellent performers in the low noise environment of the KPH receive site.

Both receivers are listed on the SDR.hu Web site. Search for KPH to find them.

Or you can use these direct links:

LF/MF - http://198.40.45.23:8072/

HF - http://198.40.45.23:8073/

We look forward to any reports on how these receivers work for you.

Regards,

RD

I used them last night to listen to KPH.  The first thing I heard when I logged in was WWV on 10 MHz with a big signal.

What fun this would have been in the old days to listen to 500 kHz and hear what KPH could have heard.

At one time, I had a copy of the KPH log for the SOS of me PRINSENDAM/PJTA and how KPH logged me during the day from WILLIAMSBURGH/WGOA.  Unknown to everyone, we were using our reserve transmitter because of failure of the high power main transmitter keying relay. CR/O James N. Pfister and myself had just jury rigged a relay from engineering alarm console to key, but on/off keying was too much for it, and it failed.  So KPH heard our full power autoalarm and 60 watt DDDSOSDDD transmissions.  The log was destroyed in a flood, sadly.

Needless to say, good signals from KPH except for some distortions in the keying which is probably Internet related.

Hey RD: Thanks for the heads up on the SDR radio. Seems to work well except the pre-loaded WSPR ham band frequencies are wrong. Hope all is well with you and the KPH crew. 73, Ed Gable k2mp/w2an

Hi Ed. Good to hear from you.

The WSPR part of the project is in the hands of the guy spearheading the SDR project. We seem to be posting correctly to wsprnet.org but I'll share your comment with him.

Best,

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

it is so nice to hear from Ed Gable, K2MP.

I wanted to tell RD that unfortunately radiomarine.org has a server
error, Bad Gateway 502 error.

It is your Internet Hosting company's error.
