[AMRadio] more computer stuff
I have been doing every thing I can think of to clean up and speed up my PC that is used with the SDR-IQ and I ran across something else that I never heard of in addition the previous post I made about %temp% file cleanout. MS has designed their system to log and store every internet site visited and email sent/received in .dat files. These are super hidden and not easily addressed or deleted. the group is index.dat. they can be removed by accessing the c drive root and using the dos command del index.dat/s ( I think it takes out all of them in one swoop) Mine had giga bits of stored crap. It really pulls my chain to learn that indeed big brother really is watching.. I also found that CCleaner takes out a bunch of useless junk and may even remove the .dat files, but not sure about that. look on the internet for index.dat, you can find how to access the root directly and delete those records. After deletion they immeadiatly start again to store and track. I am willing to bet there are additionhal areas of stored info that has no reason to be there. there must be someone out there that knows computers that could provide additional info. 73 Bernie ps be sure to wear your tin foil hat so you do not wipe your memory!!! __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

[AMRadio] Good AM Signals on 15 Meters Today
I just finished a qso with WA7ISJ in Tucson, and one with VE6KQ. Signals were very good. Brian, from VY1 land is also in there again today on 21.425. Fire up your favorite rig and come on up to 15 meters. There's lots of room up there until the CW contest ends later today.

[AMRadio] W8VYZ on 20 Meters
I just took a quick tune down to 20 meters after working everybody I could hear on 15. Caught the end of a cq from W8VYZ on 14.286. Bless his hart, he is sounding very very frail.

Re: [AMRadio] AM on 15 Meters Today
Jim, I too worked Rick, VE6CQ. His Ranger was pounding into Mississippi. VE6KQ is John, also in Calgary. He was running an Eico 720 and 730 combo. - Original Message - From: Jim Wilhite w...@brightok.net To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2010 3:19 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Good AM Signals on 15 Meters Today VE6KQ or was it VE6CQ, Rick in Clagary? I just finished tuning around and found Rick calling CQ. Spent about 20 minutes and his signal was strong all the way through. WA2JID up on the PA/NY border broke in but Rick couldn't hear him. Down in the SSB part an EA8 (Canary Islands) was over 9 here with my 40 meter antenna.
