@@ParamDxer thank you yes I know I’m a little strange liking something everyone must find frustrating static and interference seeing channels coming through weak like that is great
I have memories of something similar, from around 25 years ago but which I can remember as if it were yesterday... usual hot summer afternoon, it was at the time when TVM used to stop transmitting the testcard in the afternoon. A testcard came in (usual Philips type) saying JTV at the top and Ras Munir at the bottom... then the Ras Munir was replaced to read Amman. The clock on the test card was also an hour ahead of Malta. It was a transmission from Jordan, clearly. When TVM suddenly switched its test card on around 4pm, that was it. JTV was never to be seen again.
Thanks Wizgha for the comment. Do you have some kind of footage? Love to see any memories from my island because I didn't find any TVM Malta testcards, if so I would be thankful too. Thanks again :)
@@ParamDxer from what I heard, there's a some countries on middle east that stay on analogue, like Egypt,turkey, Lebanon and syria which many of these channels can be received in Cyprus during summertime. Do you have a plan to go to cyprus? Maybe you can bring the casio portable TV to see what left there.
Thanks Mathias. I thought at first it was something from the ME because of Time difference. I remembered you told me something about Jordan and a miracle of distance. Could be a Sporadic-E Skip reception I caught or I am wrong? Thanks Mathias
Pruvajt namel scan mil VHF Band I u VHF Band II (110-189Mhz) imma hlief static lines mhumiex jigu, alkemm 59 Mhz u 50 Mhz qeghdin jigu tip differenti ta static lines mir right to left. Fuq VHF Ch 5 amilt ergajt scan u ma dahal xejn. Naqsulu l power forsi? Ghax RAI VHF bqajt naqbdu tajjeb.
Nipprova illejla u ada fuq VHF CH5. Prosett tal progress. Sinjal li hemm signal addej biex qbadt RAI Muxx 1. Ipprova aktar channels u frekwenzi forsi jkollok cans taqbad Mediaset Muxx ukoll. Lili bhalissa fis sajf is-signal jigi u jaqta ghal ftit sekondi u jerga jigi. Rih isfel specjalment. Imbad ghal VHF Analogue huwa tajjeb ir rih isfel.
Tajjeb hafna. l-Aerials antiki twal huma super hafna ghal VHF u UHF Reception. Tajjeb biex tkun Dxer fuqhom dawk. L-ahjar fuq is satellita li jkollok dish minimum ta 1meter ghal astra 19 u forsi 1.2 jew 1.5 meter ghal 28E. Dawk illum aerials bhal dawk huma rari u jekk tixtrihom bl istess element huma expensive.
Jekk l-antenna qeda nwahhla ma Pole gholi, ipprova holla min wara, mhux hafna ax inkella taqa ovja, jew inkella jekk qeda inwahhla v-shaped, suppost naqra sahha mhux hafna tista ddur. Alkemm il-GO setgha jwahhluha differenti imma jekk ma tistax hemm hafna tutorials fuq TH-cam jekk l-antenna tieghek qeda nwahhla differenti.
Tajjeb imma qed tara naqra progress ghax qabel kont tejd li xejn ma kienu jidhlu taljan. Alkemm fuq RAI Muxx 1 mandiex esperjenza ezatc mal UHF 27 ax it transmitter ta Sqallija milli jidher gej min Monte Pellegrino. Tajjeb li ha tixtri 28db milli 25db ax ikolli ftit iktar sahha. Alkemm issa fuq VHF 44 Mhz qed nara isu stampa tifedja u tigi. Jekk jirnexxili nirekordja u naplowdja.
Aw sk8djify grazzi tal informazzjoni, fejn rajtha please? Qed nipprova snegwi dxmaps u llum qed nara xi tip ta sporadic e diehla fuq 50 Mhz imma stampa qeda tifejdja. Tropo Propogation forsi mil fuq tal-Ewropa nahseb.
Nahseb ta imma minix cert ezatt x'inhu ax ilu jilab mis saghtejn ta wara nofsinhar. Nista nghid habba d differenza tal hin. Vera mhux car hafna imma alissa adu l bidu tas season forsi. Beda jigi ftit kulur mal iswed imma jaqta. Issa xejn ma nista naqbdu nahseb xi tropo propo jew spoardic signal. TVM HD nahseb ijed fuq it trial transmission alek nahseb. Nerga nara fuqu aktar tard ghax nahseb jaghmel ftit sieghat u jitlaq.
Grazzi tas-sajt, nahseb inqatta filghodu u filghaxija nara jekk naqbad xi haga, jekk naqbad ovja naplowdjah. Tibzax anke jiena qieghed ingerger fuq TVM HD ax bla sens qieghed fuq il-Melita biss imma mhux bhal qabel fuq CH5, jekk jigi nibatlek Pm. Ipprova jekk trid caqlaq l-Antenna tal-GO fid-direzzjoni lejn l-Italja u ara bis-signal meter jekk taqbad xi frekwenza tac-channel Taljan.
Great catch
Thanks Simon, much appreciated for your feedback :) Cheers 73!

Thanks Friend. 1st Time I catched this Signal from Jordan about 1800km, 73 :)

Congratulation to your 1st catch:
This looks like JRTV1 Suweileh, Jordan on E3 ! :-) 5*
Sadly, this one was gone on 2016
Yes indeed, it is a pity and during that time period, I abandoned the hobby which restarted back in 2020. 73!

Nice catch! Of course, this is Sporadic-E. :) 73!
very cool

Yep, last time that i got was in 2017
Still believed that it is on air on E3
Good Morning Kosmin, nice to hear you caught it three years ago :) Hope that it is still on air 73!
