Re: [IRCA] WKTP-1590
That is because their DA pattern slams 25,000 watts that way and my way. It normally isn't a problem as it skips over us here in SC, but on nights where the skip is short, it blasts in.

[IRCA] Long winded series on radio listening... online
With the passing of the classic book "Passport to World Band Radio" it occurred to me that there is a void and a potential niche online - a series on Radio Listening... from the ground up... a "Radio Hobby for Dummies" if you would... -- although I cannot use that title obviously. I envisioned a series of web pages and articles dedicated to recruiting new hobbyists and energizing the existing ones. I imagine creating this on DXer.ca and then upon its completion being mirrored on a variety of similar websites hosted by other hobbyists. That way the project does not die or get locked down with the loss of the author or its participants. It's going to be a very long and long winded set of distinct web pages (or chapters) and have every facet of the radio listening hobby from AM (MW) Dxing, chasing domestics, ULR listening, collecting, SW, Utilities, Ham, Antennas, accessories, etc. Everything. Nothing left out. Not only will there be pages and pages of useful information in one spot but also a series of Podcasts and even video tutorials. I might be a tad out of my mind because in some ways, this has already been done - there are web pages dedicated to virtually every aspect of the hobby - scattered over the internet. Some sites even have pages of links to all of these sites. The downside of this is that various sites come and go - and what better plan than to have everything under one roof where everyone can access it. Losing the Passport book, for me, (and I imagine most hobbyists) has been a big deal. It left a massive hole in the library of already limited resources for radio hobbyists. This is one small way of filling in that gap. I hope also to have some participation on this project from a variety of hobbyists who are specialists in their own area - Like I said, I do not wish to leave anything out. I would also like to dedicate this project to John Bryant whose departure still hurts, whose contribution to the hobby could never be accurately measured and whose unexpected demise fundamentally changes, in some small way, the way be all see and appreciate the radio hobby. The first "chapter" is here - http://www.dxer.ca/latest/81-world-radio-101-the-basics-of-world-band-radio please follow the links to the next 2 chapters and comment (positive and negative welcome...) -- Colin Newell is a Victoria B.C.

[IRCA] TP for 30 Apr from Victoria, BC
Pretty low level of excitement this morning. 1240UT is probably too late to start listening these mornings, although there are still signs of life. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): none reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): none not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 1566 HLAZ at 1248UT; a big carrier Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 738 DU, Tahiti per direction 1287 at 1247, JOHR per direction Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567, 639, 1503 all DU per direction finding best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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
