Re: [IRCA] TWR not on 800 in Auroral cx

2007-12-20 Thread Gil Stacy
The last two nights when I listened,  Bonaire has been running simultaneous
Spanish/English broadcasting.  A few words spoken SS, followed by a brief EE
translation or vice versa.   The transmission quality was watery.  Cdx
were overall lousy last night for me in the coastal Georgia low country;
although SS was up in many spots. It was between 200-300 UTC when I
heard TWR last night.  Over the years, I don't recall hearing the
simultaneous translations.

[IRCA] Static noise issue

2007-12-20 Thread Patrick Martin
Greetings,

In the last couple of days, a noise issue has developed. When I get
heavy rain, I hear an noise like rubbing two pieces of metal together
within the house. a scratching/scraping noise.  If I take a portable
outside, it seems to go away the farther I get from the house. I kicked
the circuit breakers off and it does not do anything. It doesn't do it
everytime it rains, but most of the time a heavy shower hits. True I
have a metal roof, but the wind does seem to cause the noise. But rain
hitting something does. It is really noticeable on a portable, and in
the back of the house closer to my antennas, but not on the R8 near the
front of the house as much. Of course the R8 is well grounded. The
electric frence was arcing the other day, and I fixed that. I even shook
the fence during the heavy rain and it did nothing. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

73,

Patrick

Re: [IRCA] CKBD-600 and CBU-690 both Vancouver BC apply to move to FM

2007-12-20 Thread Patrick Martin
Gary,

Yes, I used to have an Winegard SC650 FM Yagi for years, until the
weather broke it up. I even replaced it, but it did not last long again.
I only had it 20 feet above the ground on a pole too. The strong winds
are bad for antennas here. I got FM regularly from Vancouver to Eureka
and over to Eastern WA (Spokane, Tri Cities, etc). It was great. Of
course, that was before the dial filled up. I still have my Pioneer 9100
in the other room, but it needs a new off/on switch. That is
complicated, not the usual two wire job, so I haven't used it in
sometime. But it was a good receiver. It blows the circuit breaker when
I turn it on. A short of some kind.  
When I lived in Portland both Bill Block  I DXed TV skip, got lots of E
Skip, even Ch 4  from Columbus OH, a double hop. Got about 100 TV QSLs
and 200-300 on FM. So it was fun.  But again, our bad winds have been
worse the past few years, so no antenna other than some commercial grade
one, would survive. I need to replace a bunch of elements on my little
TV antenna after our winds of late.  I was even a member of the WTFDA
for several years.
   I am sure any radio will get TPs here. I had a little GE handheld
portable with earphones (I think I still have it somewhere), that got
the powerhouse JJs.  Someone reported hearing TPs with a Crystal Set
some years back. It doesn't surprise me as JOUB can be S9+40DB often.

Alas, my possible reception was much later in the 3-hour test period.  
I already posted a link to the clip, and got no response, so I assume 
that means nobody close to KEVT was recording at that time.  Oh well,

Sounds like some kind of a short induced by the presence of the water.
or else something where the water is creating an open ciruit, although
this ought to be less likely. 

I would check for places where either a) something is grounded - like
the water, telephone, electrical system - and see if something else,
even one of the others, comes close enough for water to cause a short;
b) is the metal roof grounded ? Perhaps it needs to be; c) when you
shut off all of your breakers, check where the power comes into the
house to see if the noise is louder/stronger there - if so there may be
a short on the incoming line.

In short, any place where water might temporarily create a connection
between two metal items which don't normally come in contact could be a cause.

Thanks Russ,

Now this morning since the weather is improving, no noise issue. I will
go out in a bit and check for lose wires, etc. The noise issue is like
when you rub two pieces of metal together next to a radio, the scratchy
sound you hear on the radio.  The heavier the rain, the noisier it was,
but not over welming like having the noise next to the radio, but some
distance. But again walking outside, it goes away.  It sounds like
something is loose somewhere.

Re: [IRCA] Static noise issue

2007-12-20 Thread Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW
Patrick my first thought would be that one or more sections of the metal
roof may have loosened up during the recent high winds and is making
intermittent contact with the rest of the roof or some other object
protruding through or in contact with the roof. Rain gutters or metal
siding might also produce such results.

[IRCA] Static noise update

2007-12-20 Thread Patrick Martin
Greetings,

Well, I just came back in and it could be coming from anywhere I guess.
I checked some things out, the metal downspouts of the gutter and I
found one loose and replaced the screws. Plus where the gas lines go
under the house, I wiggle those and I hear a scratching noise against
the metal. I smell no gas though, but they are hitting against
something, so  will have the gas company check them and then maybe
ground the pipes going under the house, but they are already grounded
coming out of the ground. But I poured a glass of water on the pipes and
no noise from that. It is lightly raining now and no noise noted, so I
am still in the dark.I did check all of my antennas too. Nthing noted
there. But anything is possible.

No metal siding, metal gutters and downspouts along with the metal roof

they are swamped, but hopefully they will be by here by tomorrow to

[IRCA] KEVT in CT - Tent to Bust

2007-12-20 Thread Konnie Rychalsky

Paul, and all,
Hotmail/MSN changed to Windows Live and I'm annoyed with it... you're 
right... what appears on screen does NOT come out on the other end... seems to 
be an issue with their format Rich Text vs. Plain Text.  Now that you've 
mentioned it, I'm sending this in Plain text to see if it batches it all 
together again... let's see... It doesn't seem to like sending replies. It 
was just fine the way it was until someone in Corporate decided to make it 
better... like IBOC!

KEVT - Further listen to the tape, I have nothing strong enough to make out 
KEVT in any way, and the QRM is so strong I cannot even make out any of the SS 
wording clear enough, even though I split the seperate channels into seperate 
recordings.  It dissapered after the first two minutes and doesn't sound like a 
US SS station format.  I'm now drawn in the oppossite direction, another 
station on the other receiver with a talk format in EE... but no IDs either...

So Tent to a Bust on KEVT, it's not worth the time and effort at this point, 
with only few seconds of audio between QRN quick fades.  This is a tough week 
anyway, go to press the Red Suit.

Good eggnog  DX to all!

 I see a number of maybe receptions of the KEVT test, including my
 own, which will probably never be resolved one way or another.

 Hence, a modest proposal for future DX tests: If you're in a position
 to hear a test easily, don't just take a quick listen and stick it in
 your log. Record the whole thing, or at least as much as you're able
 to, and then you'll be able to help us poor blighters who are in less
 favorable locations figure out if we heard the test.

[IRCA] Revolutionary IC's Bring Revolutionary Fun in Small Radios

2007-12-20 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
 For those wondering why Sony never made an  improved ICF-2010 (or at 
least continued to sell the great classic model), the  answer is probably 
because 
they were too busy responding to the ultimate  challenge in modern 
electronics:  how to pack maximum performance into the  smallest package.
 
 The focus of intense competition not only in  digital electronics but 
also in RF design, micro-miniature IC development  has become the ultimate 
arbiter of the winners and losers in today's radio  design competition.
Fortunately for AM DXers, manufacturers like Sony and Sangean have  taken 
this intense competition to a new level, and have developed IC's that  can 
literally pack the performance of a Super Radio 1 into a 3-ounce  pocket radio 
(except that the pocket radio will be more selective, and free from  images and 
birdies).
 
 Sony's phenomenal 30-pin CXA1129N IC, the heart of  the SRF-59, is 
deeply praised by the Chinese PhD rocket scientist Dr. Xin  Feng on his 
_http://www.fixup.net_ (http://www.fixup.net)  web  site. Those who dismiss 
pocket radios 
as inferior toys are in for a  huge shock if they try out this radio...it is 
fully capable of almost any  DX task you choose to give it!  Superlative IC's 
have finally made the tiny  pocket radio able to not only compete, but win.
 
 Sony is not the only manufacturer who has brought  incredible IC's to 
the pocket AM radio.  Sangean's DT-200VX is also a  phenomenal performer, with 
great sensitivity, selectivity, freedom from  images and birdies... and 
20-memory digital convenience.  The intense  competition between Sony and 
Sangean has 
brought about a true revolution in  pocket radio performance, and a true 
revolution in Ultralight DXer fun!
 
 If you have a little pocket change and a  little spare time, why not 
order one, and get in on the fun?
 
  

  
  73 and Best Wishes,
 
  
 Gary  DeBock

Enough... that last post in rich format was posted here bunched together, the

improved MSN rich format here.  Now back to the eggnog, heck the holidays

Re: [IRCA] KEVT test

2007-12-20 Thread Neil Kazaross
One issue with this test was the fact that KEVT is a Mexican format US 
station running their typical format. There are quite a few Spanish speaking 
stns on 1210 loggable in much of the US and from more countries than Mexico. 
Someone without a decent command of the SS language will have difficulties 
unless that DX station is rather strong and KEVT and a couple Mexicans could 
be confused even by those who are quite familiar with Mexican music.

Also from reports out west, it is possible that they didn't use day power 
until an hour into the test.   73 KAZ

 I see a number of maybe receptions of the KEVT test, including my
 own, which will probably never be resolved one way or another.

 Hence, a modest proposal for future DX tests: If you're in a position
 to hear a test easily, don't just take a quick listen and stick it in
 your log. Record the whole thing, or at least as much as you're able
 to, and then you'll be able to help us poor blighters who are in less
 favorable locations figure out if we heard the test.

 TIA,

 Barry

Re: [IRCA] Email Formatting/Trimming

2007-12-20 Thread Russ Edmunds


Most e-lists are geared to accept plain text. Rich Text is used in some
word processing apps but it introduces some additional features which
not all e-list software works well with and also not all email software
works well with either. The name pretty much tells you that it is an
enhanced text format. Similarly, many e-lists don't use html either. 

When you send email from one PC to another, you may not see the
bunching unless the receiving email software also isn't compatible with
Rich Text.

So for e-lists, your default should be plain text.

Re: [IRCA] Revolutionary IC's Bring Revolutionary Fun in Small Radios

2007-12-20 Thread Bruce Bacon
Gary, thanks for your enthusiasm and for educating us on the latest amazing
teeny weeny radio technology. I'd like to pipe in because this has been a
fun dialog and has prompted me to buy a few early Christmas gifts for
myself, including an SRF-59, M37, Olympus WS300M recorder, and a CCrane twin
coil ferrite loop antennna, to supplement the Sangean DT210V and Sangean
DT300 already in the baby RX-stable.

I've been impressed with the '210 and the '300 over the last couple of
years, using them for ultra-lite DXing on my motorcycle tours. Of the
mini-rigs, the two tops in sensitivity for me were the '59 and the '210; as
such, I'll be commenting on those two only. Overall, with no external
antenna, testing with fringe daytimers the winner in the sensitivity
department has consistently been the '210, with the '59 down a couple ticks
behind it. When listening last night, WBAP was clearly heard on both radios
but in the deep fades, the '59 lost signal first and recovered it last. 

These radios really shine with a little help in the ferrite department, to
the point of amazement; surpassing my 25 year old Super Radio II in overall
sensitivity and selectivity and giving my Kenwood R2000 a run for its money.
Lay the little radios on the ferrite pick-up and it's a whole different
ballgame. Twist the knob on CC tuner and the frequency absolutely comes
alive - these are real signals, not images. Now, I live quite a distance
from any of the Boise locals (20+ miles) so your mileage may vary...but rest
assured that you will hear serious domestic DX. The '59 is susceptable to
overload when peaking the CC antenna - but, in fact, I've been unable to
overload the front-end on the '210V. Pure signal. The Sangean DT210V is
actually less susceptable to front-end overload than my Kenwood R2000. In
terms of selectivity, the Q of the CC antenna is sharp enough to tighten up
the desired listening frequency on both the '59 and the '210. Adjust the
direction of the antenna element to null and peak as desired. I would love
to test these rigs on the coast, especially with the '210's 9kc digital
tuning. Alas, I have learned that my qth (at 3200 feet, with a 5200 foot
mountain on the west side of my house) is not good at all for TP's...sigh.
Unfortunately, I get audible TP signals only a handful of times a year.

So, thank you Gary for piquing my interest, adding to my radio collection
with modest $$ output, and enlightening me of the possibilities of UL-DXing.
I am really looking forward to reading your Round Two of the mighty-mite
shootout.

And to all, have a very Merry Christmas, and may '08 bring you that exotic
DX catch; be it domestic or from another corner of the world.

  Sony's phenomenal 30-pin CXA1129N IC, the heart of  the 
 SRF-59, is deeply praised by the Chinese PhD rocket scientist 
 Dr. Xin  Feng on his _http://www.fixup.net_ 
 (http://www.fixup.net)  web  site. Those who dismiss pocket 
 radios as inferior toys are in for a  huge shock if they try 
 out this radio...it is fully capable of almost any  DX task 
 you choose to give it!  Superlative IC's have finally made 
 the tiny  pocket radio able to not only compete, but win.

 between Sony and Sangean has brought about a true revolution 
 in  pocket radio performance, and a true revolution in 
 Ultralight DXer fun!
  
  If you have a little pocket change and a  little spare 
 time, why not order one, and get in on the fun?

Re: [IRCA] Revolutionary IC's Bring Revolutionary Fun in Small Radios

2007-12-20 Thread D1028Gary
Bruce,
 
 Thanks for the very kind comments.  Of  course, we Ultralight fanatics 
already know the tremendous thrills of  pocket-radio DX, but it certainly is 
our brotherly responsibility to educate and  motivate those other traditional, 
somewhat bored DXers to get off the fence,  and join in the fun, isn't it?
 
 The Ultralight DX boom is really taking off,  Bruce, thanks to you and 
about 17 other true believers.  The list comments  are truly only the tip of 
the iceberg. Your comments are exactly the  reason why curious skeptics should 
invest a little pocket change in  revolutionary DX fun!
 
  
  73 and Hot Pocket-Rocket DX to All,
 
  
Gary

With WLAC on 1510 being only a hundred miles away, it is hard to hear 
anything on 1511.

 I'm hearing a strong carrier here tonight, on 1511.574 kHz.  Hard to
 tell if it has any modulation on it.  Anybody else hearing it?

Re: [IRCA] TP's for 12-20-07

2007-12-20 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Another quick check morning, at 1445UT.  Unlike Dennis, there I 
heard some audio on 279, but not much.

Generally, it was just weak carriers, even 1566 (though the 
propagation monitor says that it recovered somewhat at the pattern 
change at 1730UTC long after I went to work).

594 was the kingpin, with quite a readable signal, with 747 and 567 
occasionally readable, all  Japanese of course.   774 and 756 had 
occasional unreadable audio, both Asian, but 603 seemed down under 
(an odd frequency to hear when conditions were otherwise poor.   1134 
had quite a good carrier, unlike most channels, but no audio.

And yet, 160m DXers in Ontario were reporting good conditions to 
Japan this morning.  Maybe that's where the DX went?

best wishes,

Nick

In the middle of a ESPN program, the ID 850, WPTB just popped in, the 
program in progress continued without a pause. [WM-TN]

This is one station I do wish would go away at night, OR change format. 
There is at lease 4 ESPN stations that is here every night, and it is hard 
to tell which one your hearing.

If you wish they'd sign off at night or change formats.. why don't you buy
them and make it happen?

ESPN programming obviously works well for the station or they wouldn't be
running it.
