No offense taken - we have all been at this hobby a long time.

Is good to clear the air occasionally.

Re: [IRCA] File size limit

[coffee_canuck]

The actual system this email system runs on has long passed its best before 
date -- not even sure that there have been any updates in years.

Being blunt: you are barking up the wrong tree if you expect any change to 
happen anytime soon.

I manage a list exactly like this at UVic with over 1000 readers. I am 
replacing it with MailChimp as we speak. All these ListServ systems are on 
highly borrowed time.

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 9/2/16

[coffee_canuck]

CNN and CBC online refers to it as an induced earthquake -- triggered by human 
activity - likely a shale gas or oil extraction project. 

Anyway -- off topic. :-)

Gotta get that Northerly flag happening.

[IRCA] Live TP snap shot - Sept 2, 2016 Victoria B.C.

[coffee_canuck]

12:32 UTC

If Presidential candidate Trump was DXing this morning...

"Look at these radio conditions. Signals cowering in the noise. Sad. I'll charm 
them out of the noise. Charming. It's what I am..."

Seriously: audio (very shaky and auroral) on 1566, 1575, 1611...
Hets here and there...

Nhp fish barrel indicates sadness everywhere... Like someone built a wall... 
And made the DX pay for it.

Better yet: do what I do - avoid PC based/powered SDR's... That tie you to 
update/reboot crash cycles.
Many of my analog radios have been on for decades and have never needed reboots

Re: [IRCA] The VACTROL progress

[coffee_canuck]

Mark Connelly or one of the guru's likely has a better answer - I have been 
using a very vanilla arrangement with the power coax going directly to the 
termination -
I do not think you could run the ground side of the connection via ground rods 
if that is what you are suggestion - at least with the 9-10 V source from my 
Vactrol supply.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-5

[coffee_canuck]

The Victoria session looked very similar but I spent more time basking in 
unusual audio popping up in different places and not spending much time chasing 
ID's -
Session time: 1315 until 1450 -- one of my longest sessions in the season.

Audio, often fair noted on:
558, 567, 594, 603, 612, 639, 675, 702 (JJ), 747, 756, 765, 774, 793, 828, 837, 
846, 855, 864, 873 (JJ), 909, 918, 927, 945, 954, 972, 1008, 1017 (JJ t.), 
1035, 1053, 1134, 1143, 1196, 1278, 1287, 1296, 1377 (RRI Toli Toli from Web 
stream - alarmingly good at times - more than 10kw?) 
1566, 1575, 1593 (CC) --
Upper band was just average.
Mid-band was on fire entire sesh and low band was pretty skookum the entire 
time as well.
A nice Saturday morning indeed!

Re: [IRCA] October 17, 1989 audio from KGO San Francisco

[coffee_canuck]

Excellent question - the VHF links stayed up and were being recorded at the 
station - for rebroadcast later.
I have around 1 hour of live ham traffic on 20, 40 and 80 meters. If memory 
serves me correctly, they were off for all of or part of 1 evening.
Content from KGO-TV 7 was being carried on other networks.
My audio on this track was from night 2 or 3 - and I have more live audio on 
another tape of night 2 where there were significant after shocks.

[IRCA] Auroral conditions...

[coffee_canuck]

Endless chatter on radio media about the spectacular Aurora borealis we will 
experience after midnight tonight... Fascinating because spectacular AB cannot 
be predicted that easily.

Anyone out east seeing anything?

All the best of the season and good DX in 2016!

Re: [IRCA] AM Broadcasters affected by RFI Issues

[coffee_canuck]

On the bright side, as energy becomes increasingly scarce we will need to stop 
wasting it in poorly designed wall warts and power supplies - energy radiated 
as broadband RFI is energy lost forever that could have been used in an energy 
smart product.

Re: [IRCA] TP 3 Dec Victoria version

[coffee_canuck]

All barely there if that qualifies - and at the same time, the FB shows the 
exact same thing... 

Most days I feel that chopping down the trees that hold the antennas would 
improve the reception. When I put up the Flag antenna, I thought I could hear 
anything at anytime. Now I hear largely nothing all of the time despite Geo 
reports. Hearing carriers now is a treat.

[IRCA] Dec 3 Spectre report - TP

[coffee_canuck]

Most interesting looking carrier at 1450 was 1386khz... Other standouts include 
738...

Like yesterday, fleeting moments of borderline audio but nothing remotely 
memorable. 

Looking now I can see that 1593 is virtually alone on the upper band with a 
modest carrier.

hope to have something up and running within 48 to 72 hours - and will be open 
to all kinds of observations, suggestions and criticisms. 
Warning: it will be modern in every way and likely not support any browsers

Re: [IRCA] TP 14 Nov Victoria version

[coffee_canuck]

In my sesh, 1415 until around 1505 UTC, I enjoyed around 20 seconds of arm 
chair audio on 1575 kHz VOA - around 50 minutes prior to LSR.

Despite what Nick's fish barrel indicated: gd. Signals occasionally on 702, 
774, 828, 846, and a few others...
I had none of it - periodically I would encounter largely pretend snippets of 
something remotely resembling "modulation" on 603, 612, 702, 738, 774, 828, 
837, 909, 1026, 1098 and 1116.

It was the skantist (is that even a word?) of sessions. I found myself gazing 
at the ceiling of my shack while listening to network radio on CBC 690 dreaming 
of a time when the ionosphere was less hostile.

Ah well.

Thoughts and prayers for the people of Paris, Beirut, Bagdad suffering from 
terrorist aggression - and to our coalition forces pursuing ISIS - God speed.

[IRCA] Saturday Nov 14 TP's dream weavers - live

[coffee_canuck]

1575 kHz occasionally at good levels with Lang talk...
Lower band a series of hets.

Ah! Just heard Yankee Doodle Dandy snippet... VOA..
I said this was live didn't I?

Oh look, Toonces the cat just wandered into the shack... She looks bored... 
Toonces, what are you doing with that Red Phillips driver?!?
Not the Drake SPR4!! Toonces, no!

Anyway... Other than good audio on 1575... Ok maybe that's a stretch...

Well done - and looking at the remnants this AM, it may have been an 
interesting morning...

I slept through it too.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

[coffee_canuck]

Mark touches on something very dear to my heart that I have been thinking about 
a lot lately:

A.) it has been decades since I have enjoyed occasional reception from Central 
and South America from Victoria B.C. With far less sophisticated receivers and 
antennas.
Why is that? (And I am likely over simplifying this...)

B.) I want to hear them again or understand why I am not hearing them now.

I think, as Nick has observed in the past, is that:
1.) they are there and
2.) you need to be diligent, creative and patient... Because:

- it's not like TP DX which is largely "shooting fish in a barrel" because it 
is... And

- you have to deal with all that stuff between you and the DX - where ever it 
might be.

I'll always remember my first XE in 1972 and my first international DX in 1973 
after I stopped convincing myself that it wasn't possible.
..
.. To be continued...

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

[coffee_canuck]

Between the Spring of 1975 and the fall of 1976, I heard most of the countries 
in Central America, a few in South America and a dozen or so countries in 
Europe, Africa and the Middle East...  On a DX150B and some random wire 
antennas that actually passed over a 220V home power line. On medium wave.

I get that conditions have been crap for months (with one or two delightful 
exceptions...) 

And I wonder why I don't hear more N/S stuff...

Well, for one, I suppress reception from the S with Flag antennas and 
directional arrays.
Maybe I need to face at least 1 antenna in another direction...
South... At least for starters.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP Carriers for 11-4

[coffee_canuck]

No report: my instincts directed me to stay in bed. Listening earlier in 'the 
day' at 0630 UTC revealed very shaky conditions indeed - received numerous 
reports of Aurora and band openings on 2 meter VHF.
