TROPOSPHERIC ENHANCEMENT We are in that season of the year where things sometimes go nuts on the VHF radio around here due to weather and water conditions. Stuff that is nor normally heard on the radio may show up (DX in ham-speak). For a discussion of tropospheric activity along the coast, check out the links povided in the forum pages. We have Lake Ponchartrain and Lake Maurepas near by, as well as the Gulf of Mexico not too far away. If you are interested in that sort of thing, as we are, I'm sure you will find the links and discussion of interest. One of the links we have is to the tropospheric activity maps generated from amateur radio packet transmission paths. This is relatively real-time, and shows the reception paths of various stations, which can routinely reach several hundred miles at this time of the year. While much of this is at 144 mhz, which is below the rail radio band at 161 mhz, it is relevent, as when there is an event that affects 144, it often spreads to and from other frequencies as well. Here is a link for almost real time maps. http://tiny.cc/tropo217 NEW ORLEANS AMTRAK Amtrak Trains 58 and 59, the City of New Orleans, usually pass each other here around 2 PM each afternoon on the CN. Channel 22 is usually monitored for the Clara Street NOUPT arrival and departure information for Amtrak trains. When you hear something about coach yard or station track number, that is Amtrak. During this time the CN will usually be on both streams and on both audio channels, left and right. Two receivers are on :7290, the left audio channel scans the various railroads, the right audio channel is always CN. One receiver is on :7282, monitoring all CN movements north of New Orleans. When Amtrak gets away from the NOUPT, they switch channels. On the CN they go to channel 72, on the BNSF they bounce around between the yard channel (40) and Avondale dispatcher (12), on the NS they are usually on channel 56. In February Amtrak 19 and 20, the Crescent, was once again only operating on weekends due to an Amtrak agreement with NS to allow track work windows during the work week. |
