Quote:Hi all
MIDDAY 'CHALLENGE' EVENT
How many normal NDBs can you log around midday?
For your personal target, please see the list at the end.
Listening around midday is a good way to check our listening stations and
to find out if changes really have made improvements in reception.
Or maybe you could try the CLE listening from a 'field' location instead of
(or as well as) from home?
Days: Fri. 18 June - Mon. 21 June
Times: **Within 3 hours of when the sun is highest (see below)
QRG: 190 - 1740 kHz
NDBs I have produced a personal target number for each of
us to aim at, based on the number of active 'normal'
NDBs within 500 km (300 miles) - see below.
** IMPORTANT If your house clocks were moved one hour
forward for 'summer time' (or 'daylight saving'), your listening times
each day will be from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon
(1000-1600) on your local clocks.
If your clocks were NOT changed (as in Arizona, I believe,
and in the Southern Hemisphere where it is now wintertime)
your times each day will be from 9 am to 3 pm (0900-1500)
All our logs will show UTC times, as always.
Our agreed definition for daytime listening is based on two hours either
side of 'real midday'. So if you want all your loggings to be flagged on
REU / RNA / RWW as 'daytime' ones you should avoid the first and
last of the six hours each day.
The usual simple log-making 'rules' apply:
Post your CLE log to the List in a plain text email if possible please,
with CLE132 at the start of its title and showing on each log line:
# The full date or Day No. and UTC.
# kHz - the nominal published frequency, if known.
# The Call Ident.
Please show those main log items FIRST. Any extra details, such as
location and distance go LATER in the same line.
Don't forget to give your own location and brief details of your equipment.
It also makes good reading if you add any thoughts on the CLE and anything
interesting or amusing that happened during it.
I will send the usual 'Any More Logs?' email at about 17:00 UTC on Tuesday
so you can check that your log has been found OK. Do make sure that your
log has arrived on the list by 08:00 UTC next Wednesday, 23rd June, at the
very latest.
As usual, you can get further helpful information about this and past CLEs
via Alan's information page ( http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ndblist/ ).
Good listening
Brian

Location: Surrey, SE England (CLE co-ordinator)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the targets. They include each of us who has taken part in one or
more CLEs in the past 12 months. If your name is missing and you plan to
join in, or if you hope to listen away from your normal home site, please
tell me the location (Lat./Long. or Locator) and I'll let you know your
target. As always, any first-time CLE logs will be extra welcome.
For some listeners, a second number is shown in brackets - these were the
actual counts in CLE118 (June 2009), the last time we held a similar event.

The targets are actually about 50% of the number of active normal NDBs
within 500km (300 miles) and they take no account of overland vs. oversea
paths. A general 'rule' like that cannot be fair for everyone's situation,
but I think it gives reasonable targets for many of us to aim at.
We shall be logging all normal NDBs heard (including Offshore and UNIDs
but not Navtex, DGPS or Amateur).
Some of us will exceed their targets and others won't reach them, but
there can be no 'failure' for anyone who has enjoyed taking part!
SEEKLISTS? I'm sending by separate email some advice on how you
could make a seeklist showing the nearer NDBs for your own location. |
