  • I was able to get within 2 miles of WCBS. CHU results are improving, now within 150 miles
  • From the most precise ones: (i.e. giving a dot, not a curve)

    * Pinpointing several Bulgarian and North Korean embassies in Europe
    * Locating the unid parallel 6-tone MFSK system on 7674, 10222, 12130, 14462, 16115, 17456 in Frankfurt area

  • I found it tough to find 3 stations that could plot WWVB on the map. I don't know if it is because of the type of signal transmitted or what.

  • @Ron, That image shows IQ mode, but with a center frequency of 59.5 kHz and an unbalanced passband that is much too wide for running TDoA on WWVB. If you actually ran using these settings try running again on exactly 60 kHz with a balanced passband of, say, 100 Hz. Hold down the shift key and then click the +/- magnifying glass icons (zoom icons) to symmetrically adjust the passband. Each time you click the passband is reduced (increased) by 80%. Hover over the left or right yellow passband edge to see the current bandwidth.

    John,
    OK, that did a much nicer result. Very nice! I did check the results and found the triangulation point to be approximately 70 miles north of the transmitter towers. I suppose KiwiSDR location information could be inaccurate and other reception anomalies could affect the accuracy as well. Still 70 miles is pretty close.

  • Good fix on the BBC Radio 4 transmitter near Droitwich, just south of Birmingham.

    When zoomed in the site was within the centre circle.

  • Super,

    13760 kHz, Kujang (200 kW)
  • I'm quite pleased with this one, especially as it's an HF signal and there are not that many suitably placed KiWi's.

    It's a Russian CIS-12 signal on 11175KHz.

  • I experimented with the 180 degree path crossing. It fails everytime. I can hear the station with my receiver, but it won't plot with the other receivers for this station. Still good results with stations not crossing the 180 degree longitude, I'd say.

  • Congrats. That's the first DF of NWC I've seen. I've tried from here but the NZ Kiwis capable of hearing VLF are either off or can't get it anymore (i.e. mine).

    There are problems when stations cross 180 deg even when the map range doesn't. I haven't had time to look into it in detail yet.

    If anyone takes the time to find the actual antenna field on a satellite map send me the coordinates and I'll add it to the list of reference stations. Often the facilities are already identified on Wikimapia, e.g.

  • Martin, could add which RX you used on those?
  • I haven't TDoAed the two VLF sites, but I thought it was worth adding them to the map prior to trying.

    Wilhelmshaven is the result of a TDoA of a STANAG transmission on 12176KHz USB. Unfortunately I didn't save the setup.

    I'm pretty impressed with this one which is easily within 10Km
