[IRCA] WWVA-1170, perhaps a new state for some one.

2007-04-20 Thread willis
For those who might need West Virginia, WWVA-1170 appears to be on day
pattern.
This might be a good time for a new state for someone.

Here in Tennessee, they are never heard at this time of night, and they are
in, mixed with Tulsa, OK.

Bill,

Conditions were off here today.  Radio Rossii long-wave stations have been 
heard most mornings. 279 is uusally the strong station here, but this morning 
it was 153 followed by a weak 189.  Only a weak carrier on 279.   Not as many 
MW carriers this morning.  VOA Thailand was in around 1239 with a fair signal.  
I may be going to Grayland next Wednesday and Thursday.

[IRCA] Fwd: DX-Tuner site operator info

2007-04-20 Thread Brett Saylor
FYI to all:

I've been running a DX Tuners radio at my QTH for about a year, and  
just received this email.

Some of you may be familiar with the DX Tuners network - there were  
several dozen radios all over the world that were accessible for  
tuning remotely over the Internet. It allowed the listener to listen  
live to the radio via streaming audio. It was a subscription-based  
system, very sophisticated (by all accounts a professional-class  
operation) and seemed to be doing well. There were a number of Icom  
radios (some R75s but many PRC1000s) so you could tune FM-band as  
well as BCB and SW from many different countries. Just last week I  
spent an hour on a virtual DXpedition listening to AM stations from  
a receiver in Germany. It was a lot of fun.

As a node operator, I did get free access to the system, which was my  
main reason for setting up a radio on the system (I had my Icom 718  
set up as a receiver).

I know several people on the AM DXing email lists used DXTuners to  
check trans-atlantic stations from radios in Europe, and verify what  
they were hearing here in the US. I did that once to give me a  
definite ID on Turkey from Pennsylvania. Given the direction of radio  
listening in this country, I looking forward to using it more in the  
future if US radio reception started to tank. Alas, another aspect of  
the hobby is now gone.

On the upside, my Icom is now free for me to play ham radio with :-)

 Dear DX Tuner Site Operator.

 I have briefly been looking for a replacement administration for  
 DxTuners and I have gotten a few offers. Thank you! However, I have  
 found the platform too complex running without my help, so it is  
 with much sadness and sincere regret that I have decided to close  
 down the network.

 You are free to shut down your hardware at any point. There will be  
 no stand alone solutions provided by me or my company as we are  
 winding up the business.

 I would like to thank you all for contributing to the network over  
 the years. 10 years is a long time and some of you have been with  
 me for most of that time.

 Again thank you very much.

 Sincerely

 Kelly Lindman

[IRCA] But they said HD was FREE!!!!!!

2007-04-20 Thread kevin redding
iBiquity to introduce HD Radio subscriptions


At NAB2007 in Las Vegas, iBiquity Digital has revealed that they've  
selected NDS Group to provide the industry's first conditional access  
solution for HD Radio.

NDS Group is the same company that provides the system enabling  
DirecTV and Cablevision to offer pay-per-view and other opt-in  
services for consumers. Called RadioGuard, NDS Group's system  
encrypts content before it is transmitted over the airwaves, then  
decrypts it once the radio signal has been received and verified.

We believe this will be key for monetizing HD Radio, said Tom  
Rucktenwald, director of data applications security for NDS.

Services that could be made possible through RadioGuard include pay- 
per-listen options for live concerts or other events, improved  
reading services for the blind, private channels for emergency  
services, and free opt-in events sponsored by advertisers. So HD  
Radio will not just be competing with satellite radio for listening  
time, but soon will be competing for subscription dollars as well.

RadioGuard-capable radio receivers are planned to be introduced to  
the market by the holidays.

I suggested this outcome two years ago. HD shonks are the real 'radio

pass 
along info to others, who see the HD garbage scheme as about as low as one can 
get.

They have a GREAT call in talk show on Sunday nights I called in and to my

Jesse Helms (retired Senator from NC) had a program on WPTF a long time ago.

Anyway, what the owner says isn't true if the NRC DA Pattern Mapbook is right.

Using a straightedge along the azimuth toward Old Fort (Shown as Oldfort in

About 10 kW effective my direction.

WPTF's day signal is much poorer than, say WLW-700 at my old QTH in Indiana-

At sunset and sunrise, there's a lot of QRM on 680 from WCBM, Baltimore, and

What a crock.  Again they are talking out of both sides of their mouth but 
what else is new.

They may claim they can compete with subscriber driven satellite radio but 
they fail to realize that both XM and Sirius are not breaking even.  This is 
because most people will not pay for radio.  If they were making money and 
seeing a nice profit, they would not be talking about a merger.

As always they just don't get it.  They should quit wasting time and money 
on HD radio and improve the overall content of regular over the air 
broadcasting.  Promote it the right way and the audience will be there to 
check it out.

 iBiquity to introduce HD Radio subscriptions


 At NAB2007 in Las Vegas, iBiquity Digital has revealed that they've
 selected NDS Group to provide the industry's first conditional access
 solution for HD Radio.

 NDS Group is the same company that provides the system enabling
 DirecTV and Cablevision to offer pay-per-view and other opt-in
 services for consumers. Called RadioGuard, NDS Group's system
 encrypts content before it is transmitted over the airwaves, then
 decrypts it once the radio signal has been received and verified.

 We believe this will be key for monetizing HD Radio, said Tom
 Rucktenwald, director of data applications security for NDS.

 Services that could be made possible through RadioGuard include pay-
 per-listen options for live concerts or other events, improved
 reading services for the blind, private channels for emergency
 services, and free opt-in events sponsored by advertisers. So HD
 Radio will not just be competing with satellite radio for listening
 time, but soon will be competing for subscription dollars as well.

 RadioGuard-capable radio receivers are planned to be introduced to
 the market by the holidays.

 CFWB is moving to FM probably  because it is less expensive to operate an FM 
trans and a tower can be located just about anywhere a half acre is available 
or they will rent space on an existing tower.It will also give them a chance to 
play music in stereo and capture more FM listening people.An all around good 
idea,especially for any DXers in the area.

[IRCA] OCSP DX Notes 4-20

2007-04-20 Thread Guy Atkins
Nothing noteworthy to report this morning as far as DX signals were concerned. 
The NHK powerhouses and HLAZ were in well, but condx seemed average overall. 

I spent most of the time checking out the prototype phased vertical array (2 x 
20 ft. High x 134 ft. Spacing, E-W). So far it seems to work well, with 30-35 
dB F/B across the band. The drop in the noise floor when the switch is flipped 
to favor reception from the west is impressive-- 10-12 dB, which allowed me to 
get audio on Tahiti 738 and Tonga 1017 last night. Neither had co-channel QRM 
or much splatter, but with the noise floor drop, the audio was clearly there. 
The panadapter of the SDR-1000 and highly accurate signal meters are very 
useful for comparisons like these.

The PA0RDT mini-whip is on the 30-ft mast again, and is a great all-around MW 
omni-directional antenna, when DXing away from noise sources. Otherwise, it 
picks up the slightest RFI noise in the vicinity.

I'm also trying a new Quantum Loop Ver. 2.0+, which is impressive. Now I know 
why these are so highly regarded. I'm able to put a 50 dB null on the local 
Aberdeen station. 

Before sundown I'm going to change the active vertical array to two delta loops 
in the same plane. There's anecdotal evidence that the nulls are better than 
with the vertical elements. I may put out a E-W beverage too, if I don't run 
out of time from doing other tests of gear.

 This week we are on the road in Boise, Idaho.
 
 This was another week with little or no sunspots. Most days had 0
 spots, but from time to time a new sunspot will appear, but only
 briefly. If you go to the table of sunspot readings at,
 http://www.sec.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt you can see the brief
 interruptions in the string of no-sunspot days. Go to
 http://www.spaceweather.com and in the upper right corner you can
 dial back to see Sun pictures and reports from any day. For
 instance, there was a brief sunspot appearance on April 14, and if
 you go back to the April 15 issue of Spaceweather.com, it notes the
 brief appearance.
 
 Expect more of the same conditions, with little or no sunspots.
 Eventually this year we should reach a point when the only place for
 solar activity to go is up.
 
 Today, April 20, we may see unsettled geomagnetic activity.
 Geophysical Institute Prague expects unsettled to active geomagnetic
 conditions for April 20, unsettled for April 21-22, quiet to
 unsettled on April 23, and quiet April 24-26. The U.S. Air Force
 predicts April 28 as the next date for active geomagnetic
 conditions, with a predicted planetary A index of 25.
 
 Paolo Battezzato, N1XOI, who lives in Westford, Massachusetts,
 northwest of Boston, sends in an interesting report from April 1 of
 a PSK contact, and he says this is no April Fools joke. Paolo
 writes, I was working PSK31 around 22:45 local time when I saw a
 very weak signal on my Digipan waterfall display. I clicked on the
 trace and read Pablo, AY7X. I'm intrigued by the call sign, so I try
 to reply to his CQ and after few attempts I contact him. Imagine my
 surprise when he tells me he is with a DXpedition in Tierra del
 Fuego, in FD55sd. Not bad from my FN42go grid, almost 11,000 km. By
 the way, did I mention I have a resonant 20m attic dipole and I was
 transmitting with just 3 Watts?
 
 Great story, Paolo, and I understand many PSK operators are using
 simple gear with low power and even indoor antennas. In my
 experiments with PSK I've been amazed at the signals it digs out of
 the noise.
 
 Barry Roseman, W0LHK of Stilwell, Kansas mentioned that during the
 recent N8S expedition to Swains Island, he worked them with 80 watts
 SSB on several bands, including 12 and 15 meters using a 60 meter
 inverted vee pressed into service.
 
 Ken Kopp, KK0HF of Topeka, Kansas sent a link to an article from
 Physicsweb that proposes a much more modest prediction for solar
 Cycle 24 than the big one predicted last year by Dikpati, et al.
 This article predicts a cycle 35% weaker than the current one. Read
 it at, http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/11/4/7/1 and as Ken
 wrote, Let's hope these guys are wrong!
 
 Jeff Lackey, K8CQ of St. Simons Island, Georgia is living with CCR
 restrictions limiting his antennas, but he may have happened upon
 just the right magic rain gutter configuration. Two weeks ago Jeff
 wrote, I use a gutter antenna and 100 watts. The gutter has five
 downspouts, spaced over approximately 90 feet distance as the gutter
 zigzags around the back of the house. I feed the center downspout
 against a ground plane of 16 ground radials. Since January 1, 2007,
 I've worked 33 zones in 121 countries. The gutter loads up fairly
 well even on 160m where I've worked 34 states. I've worked Chagos on
 80m, about 10,000 miles. Yesterday I worked Swains Island on 12m and
 17m. And a couple of weeks ago I caught Kermadec. So the DX is
 there. You just have to be patient.
 
 That is quite an inspiration at the bottom of the solar cycle.

Re: [IRCA] Re : CFWB Campbell River

More Nostalgia:

I used to hear this guy 30-40 years ago on Sunday nights (MM) signing off after 
news at 0005 PST.  Would top the frequency with all the other AN-6 stations 
having left the air.  Was // CFCP in Courtenay on 1440, who I also could get, 
altho CFCP was more common than CFWB.

  CFWB is moving to FM probably  because it is less expensive to operate an FM 
 trans and a tower can be located just about anywhere a half acre is available 
 or they will rent space on an existing tower.It will also give them a chance 
 to play music in stereo and capture more FM listening people.An all around 
 good idea,especially for any DXers in the area.

Nice station.

Old Fort is spelled just as I wrote it. Two words, your atlas is wrong. It's

Re: [IRCA] iBiquity to offer HD subscriptions

2007-04-20 Thread Bruce Portzer
Stranger things have happed to Stairway to Heaven.  There's a version 
where the original lyrics are replaced with those from the Gilligan's 
Island theme song.   The band does a fairly convincing job sounding like 
LZ, and from what I've heard LZ's laywer sent them a cease and desist 
letter shortly after the record was released. 

There's also a version recorded by Rolf Harris (the guy who did Tie Me 
Kangaroo Down), complete with a didgeridoo in place of of the guitar solo.
