Re: [IRCA] WFAW DX Test reminder
Not sure, heard what sounded like slow CW 0210 but WNRG Grundy, VA has been to strong while they are still on day power and pattern. Very weak. Did hear what sounded like a sweep tone at 0156, but not sure of that. WFAW must have a pattern that nulls to their south east. Did hear WMAC Macon, GA (again) with C2C.

[IRCA] WFAW --- I tried
No luck with me this morning. Starting one hour before the test, and using my Sony ICF-2010 and Radio Shack loop antenna, I was able to get a null on WWJ's IBOC splatter on 940, hearing CINW Montreal with Coast-to-Coast, and CJGX Yorkton (presumed) with country music. At one point, I heard some sports scores, which I believe to be a third station, but the peak was too short to get any ID. At about 12:05 CST, I may have heard some very faint Morse Code, and some sweep tones, but with Coast-to-Coast playing music at the start of their nhourly segments, I could not get any positive copy. I then gave up at 12:38. My thanks to Jim Pogue for arranging this test, and to Ernie Swanson as well. 73 de Joe, KJ8O __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Another highlight is relatively decent audio on 909 which is a first for me, with Village 900 owning the 10 kHz below, and especially above 900 kHz. Chinese of some sort there.

Re: [IRCA] WFAW DX Test
Just a comment and suggestion. I'm still listening to my mp3 recordings, but suspect I won't be hearing the DX test. A large number of people reported hearing or tentatively hearing WFAW. I was quite confused over the times, though. Some use EST, others CST, and quite a few others state no time zone at all. This is highly confusing. In the SWL world, one only uses UTC. This is my preferred format. In this way, there is no chance of confusion. Is there any similar protocol on the MW side of the house? If not, may I suggest we all use UTC, or at the very least what time zone you are referring to!

[IRCA] WFAW 940 Test
The test was heard !!! I listened right on time at midnight CST and heard nothing for the first hour, and fell asleep. I heard a lot of WMIX, Mt. Vernon, Il. that first hour . Anyway, I awoke at 0242 hearing sweep tones.yippee!! I listened for the rest of the test, and heard sweep tones again at 0251 and also 0256.!! Never heard any morse, but I was delighted to even hear the sweep tones. WMIX was the major pest here in northern South Carolina. WMAC in Macon was nulled and not a factor. This test was of special interest to me as I visit the Delavan , Wi. area a couple of times a year, and enjoy listening to WFAW when I do.They carry Neal Boortz, probably my favorite talker. My thanks to the folks at WFAW, especially Ernie Swanson, K9LO , and Jim Pogue and any others for making this test possible.

In our case it was just 1200, and onl lasted a few minutes while the only computer here was off. I am sure it was a conventional radio signal of some kind, and my guess - since the LBI folks heard it on several channels - is that it is from central or south america or the carribbean. Perhaps Cuba. Niel in a very brief conversation about this last night mentioned that Reloj has some kind of different chime or sound on some occasions - or something to this effect. Thanks to folks on these lists who have 'chimed' in. Looks like another mystery ... Saul --- Russ Edmunds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- Paul B.

[IRCA] TAs and other sunset DX
I had a great if very brief signal from Albania around 1700 on 1395, and TWR Roumoules 1467 also was solid though weaker a few minutes later. Lots of hets, all over the band. 1620 Radio Soleil, one of the Boston haitian pirates with heavily-accented French and Radio Soleil ID around 1730-1800, mixing with a new NY State Highway advisory station that's been testing of late. I've previously hard Energie; and soleil is new. Poughkeepsie NY WKIP on 1450, plus an ID a bit afterwards that sounded like 1450 WSL. Definitely not WOL in washington. I think a letter got mangled over the air, and my guess is the New hampshire station (I was on my east wire), but I will try again. Conditions seem very close in. Not much to the west at all tonight.

[IRCA] Eastern beverage damage
I went out to check the antennas this afternoon and found a 40 foot Shore-Pine laying across the beverage, about 2/3's the way to the far end. The wire isn't broken, but it will take a chainsaw to cut the tree and move it. I will ask my neighbor about it later. If is isn't moved by the time the ME test is, I will cut the wire and run it trough the brush of the tree, so it would be straight again. But time will tell. Other than that the rest of the antennas are fine. branches all over the ground from out 80-85 MPH winds. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] interesting carrier on 1458
Nick, I heard this tonight at 2220z, 1457.60 in my book, and it was on after 2300, though at 2345 or so it was gone. No audio. First time I've noted this one. Jim Renfrew, Holley NY at 2325UT, noticed a carrier on 1458, which seemed off channel; a quick closer look yielded 1457.622 kHz, so possibly Albania, recently noted by Bruce Conti on 1457.626 Unfortunately, Bruce also noted s/off at 2330UT, so will have to wait for another time (European MW Guide says 2230 s/off).

Re: [IRCA] recording time zones
I use local time when reporting domestics and UTC for trans-pacific. If reporting both in one message I will use both local UTC. Don K. Patrick Martin wrote: I think the rule of thumb in both clubs has been ELT for domestic and UTC for foreign. Here al of my clocks are set on local time except for the atomic clock and 24 hour clock in the DX room. The R8 has the two clocks, one on UTC and the other on local Pacific Time. I know of several domestic DXers that do not use UTC at all, so that would be confusing, but one suggestion is to include UTC. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] Questions re 506 kHz, experimental stations
I've heard Wayland MA WE2XGR/1 506 KHz the past few nights with a killer signal. I have actually copied several similar stations on 506, including one with the same calls but /6. I have also had a few variations outside those parameters. * What are these stations, and is there a comprehensive list of who's who? (It's awfully hard for a morse code neophyte like me to copy the code when there are multiple stations on the same frequency with very close to the same ID. They often overlap, causing the ears at this end to emit their own code, of sorts). * I had one set of the same calls with /6 prceded by CQ, which I take to be a common ham term for 'calling' ... but there was what I believe was a 'z' in between. * I also had HHH preceding yet another unID set of calls.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Re: WFAW DX Test
I really like the idea of using UTC with DX test notifications. But there is no avoiding the risk of a time miscalculation. If using UTC, the person organizing the test would need to make sure they - and the engineer at the station- are both on the same page in converting local time to UTC. This could get tricky, especially close to a time change or when dealing with an area where there is no time change. So, no matter what system is used, UTC or local time, the people organizing and running a test have to be very careful to set the right time. It would of course be pretty straigh forward for any DXer able to calculate UTC. But wouldn't it be funny (Not!) if the organizers of a test and the station got it wrong and tested at a time when no one was listening... My bottom line is I will happily go with the flow, but I I could get very used to doing al my DX reportage and communication in UTC, because it is universal. However, that does not change the fact that we would still have to take care with our time zone number-crunching. Saul Chernos --- Scott Fybush [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul B. Walker, Jr. wrote: I prefer using either Eastern Time.. or the time zone of which the station is in. Not all of us know, care to know or care to learn how to figure out UTC time, nor should we be just because a select few want it. We're not exactly talking brain surgery here - if you're in Eastern Time, UTC is local time plus four hours in the summer, plus five hours in the winter. So if I'm typing this at 1611 local standard time, I add five hours and...presto! It's 2111 UTC. That said, I'm content to go with the flow depending on which club I'm reporting to; as long as there's some indication of what time zone the reporter is in, and whether they're using local time or UTC, I'm cool with that. s Be a better pen pal.
