W8RKO CHU 3.330 MHz from April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse (KiwiSDR)

Radio: KiwiSDR - http://nippynet.com:8073 KiwiSDR: Software-defined receiver Dayton, Ohio, USA | Grid EM79wq , ASL 304m, [map] , SNR 21/21 dB Antenna: Current Antenna: Low Noise Vertical (LNV) GPS-disciplined: No AGC: Unknown Lat/lon: 39.6888647 -84.123607 Notes: I have three antenna I run on the Kiwi: 15-foot vertical with preamp at the bottom, which is the default, a “ground probe” antenna consisting of a wire 160-feet long buried about 10” in the ground with ground rods at each end. Fed in the middle like a dipole through a transformer. The wire runs east-west. A second wire runs north-south of the same length. Both antennas work best below 1.8 MHz and are directional off the ends. They are not broadside like a dipole. More like a small loop. I am looking at connecting all three via a splitter. Let the ground wires pickup below 1.8 MHz and the vertical above 1.8 MHz. For CHU the vertical was probably connected at the time you looked at my receiver. I think today it is running on the east-west ground wire as I was monitoring 630 meter WSPR. One problem I have is I live within 2.5 miles of the three 5KW AM broadcast transmitters: WHIO, WING, WONE. I have a trap for the upper end of the BCB to keep from overloading the receiver.
