[IRCA] car radios

[Eric Floden]

I DXed for a few years with a 1957 (?? Buick??   Ford?? cannot remember) car
radio I bought from Akron NRCer Bill Raczko (sp.?).  It was sweet, very nice
indeed.  In addition to the regular pushbutton tuning it had a "Town &
Country Bar", which was a motorized scanning device.  "Town" had little
sensitivity, "Country" stopped on weaker signals.

If I recall correctly, I only quit using it when the (110 VAC) power supply
gave up.  It was a very nice rig, and delivered excellent sound.  This would
have been when I lived in Ottawa, sometime between 1968 and '72.

Good carrier on 846, no audio though.  Carriers on 1017, 639 and 
684...just a hint of the Pacific islandsthey will be keeping

[IRCA] morning Europeans on the west coast

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Dennis was asking about hearing Europeans at west coast sunrise, and 
just today, something came in from an Oregon ham on a 160 meter list  aying:

>I am holding a vigil on (or around) 1832 kHz around
>1500Z for the return of the morning European openings that we enjoyed back
>in 1996 during the last sunspot minimum.

So, I looked through my records, and found  that Northwest hams had 
worked Europeans in the morning around Christmas 1997 as well (which 
of course was a period of excellent MW trans-Arctic/Atlantic 
conditions in the evening also).  N6TR said that 1445 to 1515 UTC was 
the peak, though he hung in as late as 1545, but the contacts were 
with Finland, Sweden and Russia, rather than further south or west.

Finland and Sweden are a little thin for MW stations these days:

Finland 558, 963 (963 only until the end of this year, per Medium Wave Circle)

>Radio Finland schedule: Europe: 558 and 963 24 hours, 6120 0500-2100,
>11755 0600-1900, 9560 0700-0900, 9630 1400-1800 (Swedish), 5970 2200-
>2230, 7195 1400-1600.


Sweden 1179: the European MW Guide is rather coy about what happens 
here between 1400 and 1600UT.  My old WRTH says Russian, Estonian and 
Swedish broadcasts...Anyone know for sure if they're on at this time?



Russia:

Murmansk is still on,  657 now...so worth a shot; another Murmansk is 
on 1080 unfortunately, but there is also a Mayak listed on 1134.

St. Petersburg?   (heard in the evening in Victoria when it was still 
Leningrad)   873...maybe 684, 1125, 1494??(don't see anything listed 
before 1800UT though)

Arkhangelsk 918 is probably pushing it, even by this rarefied target list

Of course conditions are very poor right now, but by the end of the 
year...who knows?  Also, 1314 was never logged in the morning here, 
even as a carrier, so this may all be wishful thinking.

best wishes,

Nick

It is well know that the Jap pilots also used KGMB to find Oahu. In fact the

had been removed from the plans so as to carry more fuel to make the hop to

Re: [IRCA] Just another day?

[Bruce Portzer]

 From what I've been told, back before WW2 the US government would pay 
KGMB to stay on all night whenever military planes were expected to 
arrive from the mainland.  That way, the aircraft crews could use their 
direction finding equipment to home in on Oahu, and not fly past the 
island. 

On the night of December 6-7, 1941, a fleet of B-17s was being ferried 
across the Pacific to the Philippines and was scheduled to make a 
refueling stop at Pearl Harbor, so KGMB was on all night.  Judging from 
what happened, I'd say the B-17s weren't the only aircraft DFing on KGMB.

And they were all 7 volt filaments; had silver tops and if you were not

My 1954 Chevy had those type of tubes in it.

Re: [IRCA] Just another day?

[John Callarman]

I'm gratified, by all the car radio history, that I didn't have to repudiate my 
memory of hearing Freddy Martin's music on the road on Dec. 7, 1941. And I'm 
happy to have inadvertantly launched an interesting and entertaining thread!

I suppose my most interesting car radio experience came in the summer of 1976 
when my wife and I were driving south from Tucson and found an FM signal that 
was playing my kind of music. It reminded me, I thought, of what I had heard in 
the '50s from KXL-750 in Portland. Turned out to be some bodacious e-skip, and 
KXL on FM held steady for more than an hour. (I don't DX when the wife is in 
the car.)

That was until Motorola and Sylvania came out with
loktal tubes. Glass tubes with snap in lock in base.
Philco loved to use them in their consumer radios.

7 December is famous for two things, Pearl Harbor and it is also the same
date I joined the navy. (Not in 1941).

As a philatelist I collect U.S. navy ship cancels. I almost have all the
ships that were at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. I created an exhibit and
displayed them in September 2006, at a stamp show in Atlanta. I won 3
awards.

Hi Mike-
Yes they had cars and the cars had radios. They used metal covered tubes and
the tubes were black, all had 6 volt filaments.

The world even had radar, the battleship U.S.S. TEXAS was one of the first
to have radar. They even had television, with football and baseball games.
Channel 2 and 4 in New York City came on the air on 4 July 1941. Yes, the
world really hasn't changed much since 1940.

And no, the radio's did not take up have the dash board, true they were
bigger than today radio's but they had to be. They had to have a vibrator
and 0Z4 to create the AC to run the filaments. BUT, audio quality was
so-o-o-o much better than today's car radio's.

If you were not around then you missed a lot of fun.

Motorola made some excellent car radios as did Philco.
I have a Motorola 61T23 table radio with TRF that says
Galvin on the back. It's from 1939, and I have to
figure out why it doesn't work. I put in orange drops
back in the late 60's and it worked for many years. It
doesn't receive anything and all the tubes are fine.
I'm guessing one of those caps failed open somewhere
important.

The whole middle part of the dash and under dash. My
grandmother's 1947 Studebaker had a radio with 14
tubes and push pull audio. 6 volt system and it drew
20 amps. That was one of the best car radios I ever
heard.

[IRCA] first car radio -- was: Just another day?

[Eric Floden]

good question -- I thought I recalled a restored 34 Ford with a radio, so
googled first car radio and got this

Car Radio In 1929, American Paul Galvin, the head of Galvin Manufacturing
Corporation, invented the first car radio. The first car radios were not
available from carmakers. Consumers had to purchase the radios separately.
Galvin coined the name "Motorola" for the company's new products combining
the idea of motion and radio.

Did they have car radios in 1941?  In those pre-transistor days, the radio
must have taken up half the dashboard and the tubes would have kept the
car warm in winter.

BTW, Canada had been involved in WWII for more than two years before Pearl
Harbor.

While I'm not in that immediate vicinity, Bowling Green VA would be
within a reasonable margin of error for the bearings I got on 1610, and
would seem to be within a margin of error for some of the others
reported. I tend to agree that the greater the distance the greater the
magnitude for potential error, and for the majority of those reporting,
one would have to ascribe a nominal +/- 5 or even +/- 7.5 simply due to
the imprecise nature of a portable radio or even a loop bearing. A loop
outdoors in a field would likely be more accurate than a loop indoors
which would be affected by metal within the building structure. 

Unfortunately, applying that kind of a range of potential error to the
bearings posted would cover the entire area of SE VA.

///
Les, thanks for doing the leg work on this. I just searched the FCC
database and it appears that all records of the license that I
previously saw for this station have been removed in the past week.
That's interesting in itself. Perhaps someone realized, as did I, the
error of issuing an FCC license to a Federal agency.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Mystery Signal on 1020khz & 1610khz

[Neil Kazaross]

This is a decent ways south of DC and definately north of my DF to the tones 
from here near Chicago. That being said, I certainly cannot claim the my DF's 
are accurate enough to rule this out.

So I am asking anyone on these lists the following.

If you live in the VA/MD vicinity and took some good DF's are you able to most 
definately state that the direction was no where near Bowling Green ?

  Despite the denials from BAE Systems received by Glenn Hauser, I have reasons 
to
  doubt that story. In addition to my own sources, it's hard to deny that the 
STA
  requests mirrors the activity observed on the air in nearly every detail. 

  It's possible that the engineer listed on the STA request is unaware of the 
current
  tests, as BAE Systems is a very large company with multiple government 
contracts. 

  I wonder if Jim would be willing to produce plots of the DF bearings with the 
Bowling
  Green, VA location highlighted somehow? According to the original STA request
  submitted for BAE Systems, the transmitter location was to be: 

  Bowling Green, VA 
  Lat: North 38 7 59
  West 77 19 49

  Until I hear something to the contrary, I think this explanation is the best 
one.

[IRCA] FEMA TIS in Selma, AL

[Les Rayburn]

Spoke with some very nice FEMA folks today in Selma, AL after getting some
introductions from the EMA folks that we do ARES work with here locally.

They were able to provide a lot of information. 

FEMA operates a large distribution site in Selma, similar to many across the 
country. Since
Katrina, they've been a hub for the familiar "FEMA trailers". Hundreds of these 
trailers are
stored on site, with contracted drivers coming into and out of the site daily 
to pick up
the homes and transport them to the Gulf Coast. 

FEMA is testing the TIS system as a way to provide timely information to drivers
as they approach the site. The license for Selma is short duration, because they
are basically testing the system, which may be more widely adopted around the
country. 

The unit they purchased contained two antennas, one (much larger) for 530khz 
and a 
smaller one for 1650khz. My contact there advised that they are testing right 
now
on 1650khz, with no plans to operate on 530khz. I'll have to listen harder for
them now, if I can null KWHN! 

If the test proves successful, we may all have more FEMA TIS's to listen for.

Re: [IRCA] Just another day?

[John Callarman]

I always associate this day with Freddy Martin's recording of "Tonight We 
Love," because it was on the car radio when my family had driven to the Oregon 
Coast. Then we heard the news bulletins. I was 6 years old.

I suppose this would be on topic if I could remember the station we were 
listening to ... probably KGW-620, since there wasn't much radio north of 
Marshfield (now Coos Bay) or south of Astoria on the coast.

[IRCA] DX Engineering Updates

[Les Rayburn]

Spoke with the nice folks at DX Engineering today regarding their upcoming 
Noise Canceling
Controller (DXE-NCC-1). A prototype of this product first appeared at Dayton a 
few months ago. 

According to the phone call today, the product should be released for sale in 
January. There
are no design or engineering problems, only production issues that have delayed 
the sale
of the product. 

The specs on this high end phaser are impressive if they hold up. Output third 
order intercept
point of +32db per channel and +38db combined, along with 30db of fixed 
attenuation
plus +15db of variable attenuation per channel, which should make balancing 
signal
levels from dissimilar antennas much easier. 

I'm very happy with my Quantum Phaser, but this product might be a real 
improvement
even over that fine unit. 

I'm also considering the purchase of one of their horizontally polarized active 
antennas,
the DXE-ARAH-1P, which is a 210" active dipole antenna. According to the 
company's web site, the horizontal configuration can greatly reduce ground wave
propagated noise in congested urban environments. We'll see. 

Anyone on the lists have experience with active horizontal antennas? 

I'm not affiliated with the company at all...just a happy customer. I've used 
their 
beverage antenna parts to construct several BOGS over the past three years,
and been very pleased.

Actually -

To be more precise, we are currently experiencing Nihilistic DXing:

Simply, there is no dx.
And with no dx, there are no receivers.
Receivers are pointless.
There is only endless grey sunrises without enhancement.

[IRCA] TP 7 Dec

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Another dull morning,  just before 1500 UT.

At least on the low band, what few weak carriers there are seem to be 
DU612, 639, 684, 792.  738 is surprisingly weak.  1386 is 
definitely DU per the loop, but 1566 and 1575, no DF availablebut 
these are carriers.  Minimalist DXing.

best wishes,

Nick

Yes, day pattern -- not power -- was what I meant. I guess I was 
already half asleep when I typed that last night. Indeed, they are a 
new one for me too. Always happy to nail a newbie. 73s, Jim

Re: [IRCA] Thanks to all re 590-1020-1610 episode

Maybe I missed something here, but I don't recall seeing anything that 
explained the ""why and where" of these tones. If someone knows these 
"straight facts" I am sure many would appreciate hearing.

[IRCA] High "A" sleep in

[vroomski]

Hello,


JOUB 774 in at 1020 UT with weak signal and JJ talk.  No other TPs heard on MW 
or LW.  Having a shed built this week, it will be underneath the EWE antenna.  
Next to the ground termination element.  Be interesting how this effects the 
antenna.  With the high A index this morning will not get up at 1420 UT to DX.

Dennis,
