RNZI DRM @ 17675 kHz, 20 Jul 2012

I just noticed something. When displaying UTC time, notice in the screenshot below that the Excalibur GUI is ahead by a month. Local time is fine. Odd.


Anyway, was getting only about 10 dB SNR until around 04:24 UTC signal power suddenly went way up to about what you see now, maxing out at-95 dBm over a -120 dBm noise floor. Reported SNR in Dream ranges from 18-19 dB. It looks good, like Vatican Radio DRM from Sackville.

This is with a new antenna, mind you. I'll have something more to say about that later.

In the last two minutes of the broadcast, something started up around 17685 kHz. Lots of harmonics, some of it caused co-channel interference.
