20 ‘ transmission range on 1700khz

Posted on September 30, 2008

Whoohoo! We are transmitting beyond the confines of our tin can! ๐Ÿ™‚
I figured out the trouble with the range of my sstran.

Whoohoo! We are transmitting beyond the confines of our tin can! ๐Ÿ™‚
I figured out the trouble with the range of my sstran.
Using the walwart that comes with the kit and having used up most of the outlets on this side of the room, i had resorted to plugging the walwart into a 8 foot extension cord.
I feel it has caused some sort of unbalanced match between the antenna and ground. After re-arranging all my cords i was able to plug my sstran into a wall outlet bypassing the ext. cord and any power strips.

I retuned the sstran and was able to hear my station on 1700 am up to 20 feet from the house, after 20 feet i lose the station in all the strange noise we get here in the park.
I say strange because most of the power lines, cable tv and landlines are underground. But the noise is everywhere inside and out. I figure it is caused by the broadband cable internet, but that is just a guess.

So a small victory for 1700 FRL.

I wonder how bad that interference will be for listeners when i build the outdoor antenna?
I suspect my neighbors have the same amount of noise i do. I can only receive about three radio stations in the house, the rest of the bands am or fm is nothing but a loud ringing noise that blocks any signals from the outside world. Sometime ill record the noise on mp3 and post it for your analysis.
