Re: [IRCA] KSTE-650
CX seem very AU tonight. Fiji-639 is quite decent next to KFI. Het on 648, The increase in KSTE's signal may be due to cx too. KGO is S9+30 and KSTE is S9+15 here off the SW EWE.

[IRCA] KSTE-650
Pete et al: You're not mistaken. KSTE is blasting into San Francisco at this moment and that is not usual. No doubt they are still using their 25 kw daytime transmitter. Usually I can get all sorts of stuff under/over them. They are very strong tonight altho several stations can be heard far under them. Don K. S.F.

I concur with Nick; it is mighty potent. However, KCIS-630 is quite strong tonight as well with nary a sign of KFXD.

[IRCA] Ultralight Sprint...It's all over for ME!!!!
Hi Guys: WellI just got finished using up my last 1/2 Hour Allotment of time for the ULR Sprint Contest. The Fat Lady has sungand of course as soon as my time limit was upI heard a couple more New ones.but the Log is closed...and they will have to wait til next year to make it into the Contest Log. It was fun.and I am happy with my results. My Total Stations are little below what I was hoping for..but you get what you get..and I really don't think conditions were optimum...at least I can remember having much better nights earlier this year. The Noise levels seemed a lot worse the past few days. I live not too far from a LARGE HOSPITAL.and it almost sounded like I was getting noise from some of the Medical machines.I don't know if they still have Diathermy?? Machinesbut it was that kind of noise?? It completely covered several frequencies...and was spread out over the band.but concentrated in the middle part of the Band. There were several SEMI-LOCAL Stations that I hear all the time...that I was not able to log??? Very weird. In any eventthe logs are sealedand the totals have been tabulated. We'll see where I sit when the Judges scrutinize the entries. I wish Good Luck to all of the entrants...and hope that everyone had as much fun as I did. What better way to promote the Subculture of Ultralight DX'ing At the very leastit hopefully got a bunch of guys twisting the dials.and doing what DX'ers are supposed to do.. No...Not complain about IBOC.and Not Complain about Stations NOT QSLing.but rather turn on their radios and DX!!! 73ROB. Robert S. Ross VA3SW Box 1003, Stn. B.

[IRCA] Status of WBIX QSLS
Dear fellow DXers - Just a note to say that reception reports from the U.S., Canada and Europe for the highly successful WBIX continue to arrive here via both postal and E-mail. I have been out of town this past weekend, and will be gone most of next week. As soon as I am back I will begin working through the growing piles of reports and hope to start sending out QSLs shortly thereafter. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Re: [IRCA] Audacity...
With Audacity it is possible to create files much larger than just WAV files if one saves the sessions being edited. The last prompt before closing Audacity or a particular editing operation is to save the session. If this option is taken a number of very large files are saved, though likely never used again unless an editing session is interrupted. I always choose to not save the session files. Even editing WAV files with Audacity -- which I do because those are what my RX320D software creates -- is not a problem, but could be if I saved the session files. Once editing is complete, I normally use Audacity to convert and export the clip to an MP3 file for further sharing or other uses. Curt --- W.

That's a different issue which goes beyond any individual software. But IMHO, for DX purposes, mp3 is more than adequate and offers all sorts of variations in settings to compress either more or less.

Re: [IRCA] 1700 kHz. Mystery Disney Station
John, Doesn't your VX have a tighter than stock filter? If so, not likely that it would be 1690 especially at night, even unmodified. It could be that sneaky Radio Rat setting up wherever he wants. There is another thing that can happen. With a booster bar, you can force feed another frequency, but it's usually a local. 73 Gil On 3/2/08, John H.

Re: [IRCA] 1700 kHz. Mystery Disney Station
Well, I checked twice and the numbers on the dial were "1700" plus KDDZ is to my NW and not east- west and very iffy propagation-wise at that time (not dark in Denver.) So, I doubt it but that still may be the nearest thing to an explanation. John B.

Re: [IRCA] RECORDING SOFTWARE
Hello Pete I am still using a cassette tape recorder. You are not alone hi! Barry Pete Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I think there's only a handful of us left who tape stations on cassettes.

It could stand a better IF filter and a backlight wouldn't hurt although neither would have made that much difference this weekend. Daytime locals are worse because of the wide IF filter. Yes Gilthat's the only Complaint I have with the T615.is that the LOCAL STATIONS(I have 3 ).are about 30 to 40 Khz Wide during the day. At night they tighten up quite a bit...and I can easily hear stations on either side of their frequencies..and even logged WING 1410 ..right under my LOCAL CFPL 1410. Guy is planning a cure for that problem. That would sure be great!! I'll bet being familiar with the dial was as big a help as anything for you this weekend. You've sure logged the time with it. Yes..I have spent a lot of hours tuning the T615 the past 2 months...and I pretty much know what I am going to hear under normal conditions. Especially during DAYLIGHT HOURS...I hear most of the same stations every day of course. Knowing the formats and slogans etc sure helps too. I have only used 3 1/2 hours of my Allotted 4 Hours DX time for the contest as of 0900 am this morning...so I still have 1/2 Hour of Contest DX time left...and I think I will use that at SUNSET tonight to finish off my logs. I am quite happy with my Results...both in Total Stations heardand The America's DX Distance Category. AlthoughI am having some problems logging a few stations that I can usually hear ALL THE TIME...like 1590 WAKRand 550 WGR, and 910 WFDF, and 1010 CFRB, and 1370 WSPD, and 1380 CKPC and a few others..Local Noise and QRM or just no Conditions to their Transmitter...I don't know..but I usually hear these guys EVERY DAY!! Maybe sunset tonight will bring 'em in!! I had GREAT Conditions last night to South America and the Caribbean...so I will have some pretty Decent Mileage for the Americas Distance Category. Good thing that area opened up.'cause I didn't have much Distance with my Domestic Stuff!! Sowe'll see what happens when the smoke settles...we'll see if those Super Modified Coasters have got what it takes!! HAHAHHAHA...

I use it on Mac, Windows and Linux. It's free, and it certainly does have the ability to slow down recorded audio. It's replaced Cool Edit on my Windows machine as the primary software for manipulating recorded files (although I agree with Russ that Total Recorder is the best *recording* software).

[IRCA] Help needed from CA
Was doing some recording on the SDR-IQ last night, and snagged an interesting signal on 1230 khz.I suspect KWG in Stockton, but I can't be 100% certain yet. What I got of the ID was "KWG, -, your local..heart radio station, bringing the best..your home town, your radio..." I'm certain on the first two letters of the call, less so on the "G".Can anyone in the area tell me if this is how KWG identifies?

Re: [IRCA] 2 NEW STNS on Ultralight Sunset Skip while DX'ing in ULR SPRINT Contest........
Bob, You are preaching to the choir about the T615. It is a fine little RX. I've used mine barefoot in the Sprint and it is a station magnet. It could stand a better IF filter and a backlight wouldn't hurt although neither would have made that much difference this weekend. Daytime locals are worse because of the wide IF filter. Guy is planning a cure for that problem. I'll bet being familiar with the dial was as big a help as anything for you this weekend. You've sure logged the time with it. 73 Gil ___ 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] 1700 kHz. Mystery Disney Station
Thanks for all of the checks on my mystery 1700 Disney station. If I hadn't been so careful, I'd think at this point that I was dreaming. However, I was in the middle of intense logging for the Ultralight DX Sprint. Unfortunately, I did not have my recorder on-line. I had just logged new (for the Sprint) stations on 1510, 1540, 1670, 1680 and there I sat on 1700, with bubble gum music coming in my ears. It was especially odd because I'm used to hearing Brownsville and Richardson Texas to my due south and Des Moines to my NNE. I hadn't logged any of them (just hadn't gotten this far up the dial before) during the Sprint, so I was expecting to be able to snag at least one, maybe more. Instead, there, BY ITSELF, was Disney at moderate strength... including a Radio Disney ID at 0043 on March 2. I nulled it carefully and got due East/West. I was using a tuned 12" x 1" ferrite "booster bar" inductively coupled to the DT-200VX, which has a digital dial. The nulling is probably accurate within plus/minus 10 degrees. 0043 was just 20 minutes past local sunset, so central and northern New Mexico MIGHT be in play Amarillo would be a suspect, as would Tulsa (wasn't that strong) Ft. Smith, Springfield (maybe), Little Rock and Memphis. A real mystery to me (and you folks, too, apparently :>) John B.
