[IRCA] TP for 3 Nov from Victoria, BC.
I think I may have a problem with one of my antennas (signals very quiet), but my gosh, I had a bigger problem with the ionosphere. Gary noted the deadness at 1300 already, and yes, things did improve a bit at 1330UT, but not really much beyond that. I didn't try too hard though pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): nope reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 774 JOUB at 1340UT; often nothing but a carrier not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 189 R. Rossii with a SAH on it 594 JOAK 747 JOIB 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) : 153 seemed to be R. Rossii 567 JOIK likely, seemed //594 945...a surprise, as the weak talk seemed to be //4460, for CNR-1 Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 972 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
Re: [IRCA] no more am
A flip-side... I work in a multi-media design lab with a bunch of middle-aged guys... and 20something co-op students... Most of the kids have a sound knowledge of all methods of communications, including terrestrial radio, AM, FM - even shortwave... some of them are taking an interest in electronics design, sound engineering... some are kit builders... Not this is not unusual considering that this is their prescribed career area. My overall point being: young people seem to find these classic hobbies, like ham radio and radio listening in general - kind of old school, retro and appealing. All is definitely not lost.

[IRCA] Ferrite antenna
Yesterday I had some time so I put a 24" ferrite rod antenna at the top of my 80' tower. Reason was to try to get away from the noise. In the house, noise is enough to bother semi-locals especially at the bottom of the band. It did reduce the noise and oddly it increased the signal levels by at least 10db. I did a scan through the dial from that antenna and then again using an identical one that's in my truck. Noise did seem to drop. It's set to null in the direction of New York City. WFAN-660 is down to an unlistenable level. Other stations are also minimised. At night it does work decently. At some point I may bring a rotor up there so I can actively null stations. On another matter, I have an issue with the SDR-14. When I upgraded the Spectravue software the gain dropped a lot. In the past I could see peak carrier levels of around -20 on the waterfall. Now it's closer to -80db. Still can hear most things, but it seems quite deaf in comparison. I have set to maximum gain for both IF and RF. Bringing it down from that makes things inaudible. I brought in the Palstar radio from the truck and hooked it up to the output of the preamp. Locals were close to S9+40 on the meter. Plenty of signal. I went through every possible selection on the menu and nothing brought it back. Anyone else notice this? Maybe there's a failure of an amplifier or other component in it. Everything else works correctly. Just not much sensitivity.

[IRCA] no more am
Hey All, Just wanted to say a word about Russ`s comments about the am band. I`m just under 40(38) and can really relate to this. I was at a friends home some years ago one night and was tuning the bands with his sterio.(a stock portable) His then live-in honey(she`s now gone else-ware) was amazed at what I was hearing here in Rock springs.(wlw,kfi, and a few others) My friend was surprised as well! My dad introduced me to amdxing when I was a teenager one night. I think a lot of the problem is that most young people don`t have people in the know(like him) to show them whats out there to hear on the "typical" night.(Most don`t care anyway, unfortinatly) They wouldn`t have the patience anymore either to deal with band conds. as well as taking the time to log what they hear.(if I can`t have it now,(and in the clear) then I`m not interested!) I hope that I don`t have to endor the end of amdx. Then it would really be time to "hang up the headphones" for good! I don`t know what I`d do if I couldn`t chase dx on a clear, cold, wyoming winters eve! But me thinks that now I`m in the minority. Most people don`t give a hoot much about the exclamation of "I got L.A. from wyoming!" It just dosen`t have the hitting power that it did I guess in my dads day.(or in is dads day for sure) Too bad! People don`t know what their missing!(esp. the young) I will be forever greatful to my dad for showing me the ways of the am band that night(meny years ago now) on a 250 mile trip across part of wyoming! He explaned to me what I was hearing(ksl and a few others) and WHY it was there.(being that we were a fair distance from SLC, as well as the other stations) I was about 16 at the time. Good dx to all and may the may band be here for a LONG time to come!

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-3
Hello All, This morning's Asian signals ranged from comatose (at 1300) to fair (around 1420), with some moderately good "big gun" TP audio during brief moments. The first band check at 1300 was miserable indeed, with even all the Asian carriers way down in the noise (this was probably the same situation that Bill noted). The comatose band gave every impression of being down for the count, although around 1330 the dead carriers started springing to life, and before 1400 a few "big guns" like 747 and 774 were producing fair audio through the domestic splatter. The situation continued to gradually improve until around 1420, when 738-BEL2 produced enough fair Chinese audio for a "soft mute" test of the new Tecsun PL-606 Ultralight radio model (more later). The second-tier TP's never really got out of the gate this morning, though, and the usual Chinese overachievers like 936-Anhui and 1377-CNR1 were silent. Several Asian powerhouses like 648-VOR and 972-HLCA were decent around 1430, though, and 657-Pyongyang got in a few weak Korean tirades before the band collapsed around 1445. In general the morning's session was lackluster, but certainly much better than its prognosis at 1300. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick) and a new Tecsun PL-606 stock model, inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the cold back yard). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB spotting receiver: 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Fair-good Japanese talk program 1412 603 HLSA Namyang, S.

The new PL-606 was inductively coupled to the 9' PVC loop, and a recording was made on 738 kHz for the first 20 seconds, and then on 737 kHz (1 kHz farther from the 740-KCBS splatter) for the next 21 seconds. _http://www.mediafire.com/?p8kkulbnnpdhp2s_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?p8kkulbnnpdhp2s) Although the KCBS splatter and 2 kHz heterodyne disappeared on 737, so did much of Taiwan's signal, unfortunately. In this respect the new Tecsun PL-606 may resemble its PL-310 sibling, more than the reduced-soft-mute PL-380 model. Further tests are planned later today on the highly sensitive new radio, the most compact 1 kHz DSP Ultralight on the market. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock ___ 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] MW DX from Enid OK, November 2-3, 2010
All times and dates strictly UT. MW log editors are welcome to excerpt items, reformat and change to favorite timezone if necessary. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; some caradio as specified; above 2 MHz on FRG-7 with 110-foot east-west longwire. ** MEXICO. Nov 3 I was snoozing thru the sunrise skip window from NW Mexico, yet at the late hour of 1328 UT I am hearing Spanish on 710 in the null of KEEL Shreveport [see USA], and sure enough, soon copy ``La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc`` jingle. XEDP normally peaks about an hour earlier, and Chihuahua is prettymuch gone by 1300. By 1347, KGNC Amarillo is dominating 710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 720, on caradio in western Enid, Nov 2 at 1820, WGN with promo, weak but steady. This is only one dodekaminute before local mean noon here which is always at 1832 UT (and means we should be in the UT-7 zone, not UT -6, let alone UT -5 we have been forced to observe for the past almost 8 months!). The sun is now low enough to allow residual skywave over more than a megameter from Chicago, as we observe periodically within a sesquimonth of winter solstice. Also, there is CCI on KLTT Denver, which normally has 670 to itself at the edge of its groundwave, so no doubt signs of WSCR Chicago. By 1912 recheck, WGN was a bit stronger. However, nothing unusual higher up the band, notably 1690 where I look for WVON Chicago, with 10 kW non-direxional at topend of the band ought to be skywavable, but such openings seem to favor lowend, akin to groundwave. WBBM 780 might make it too, or WLS 890, but both those are blocked by OK stations in the daytime. 570 seemed a bit strange. Normally, KLIF TX dominates but there is always WNAX SD audio underneath causing a slow SAH. At 1825, there were signs of another SAH from a third very weak signal, but no third audio. It seems the most likely source by distance would be 1 kW WKYX in Paducah KY, tho it has a null toward Dallas; would not expect it at all by groundwave, thru the poor-conductivity Ozarx (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 720, checking again for KDWN Las Vegas, Nov 3 at 1315 UT discussion of the elexion ``here in Nevada`` but it`s really an ABC News correspondent via WGN, tsk; 1317 Chicago traffic, of little interest in LV. At 1332 KSAH in Spanish is up producing usual 4 Hz SAH with WGN, mentioning San Antonio College, still no KDWN, which apparently is not switching to day pattern at 1315 instead of correct 1415 for November (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 710, Nov 3 at 1326 UT, news in English from NW/SE, soon obviously from KEEL Shreveport LA, since refers to ``our state`` and Louisiana, Katrina consequences. Tho 50/5 kW, this one is seldom heard here, with deep null toward us, major lobes from SW to SE, day and night. See also MEXICO. By 1347, KGNC Amarillo is dominating 710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 1030, Nov 3 at 1335 I am getting financial/stox news in Spanish from E/W, mentions both pesos and dólares, stingers between each item; definitely not N/S so not KCTA which is bilingual religious. Then at 1340 a second station in Spanish with romantic music, 1343 both of them talking, but too much CCI to sort them out. While there are several US Spanish stations on 1030, most likely by far here is WGSF Memphis TN, now on day power of 50 kW and non-direxional per NRC Pattern Book. Strangely, I don`t recall hearing it before. The other one, likely XEYC R. Fórmula, Ciudad Juárez, Chih., or possibly XEMPM, R. Fama, Los Mochis, Sinaloa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 3160, since WPJK Orangeburg SC second harmonic was already on the air a few minutes before legal sunrise 1200 UT Nov 2, I started monitoring Nov 3 at 1125. Nothing there until *1139 abrupt carrier on and standard sign-on announcement a few sex later, mentioning name of general manager, who is obviously clueless about his harmonic or when he should sign on. So do they still intend to sign on at the illegal November time of 1130? That of course makes it more DXable, but surely not the reason. Right into Gospel Train with its ``conductor``, beginning with `Q` in Morse toots, the same signal heard by compression waves in Enid and everywhere from trains warning of approaches to street crossings. Next check more than hour later at 1251, the 3160 carrier could still be detected (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ___ 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] Brier, WA TP's for 11/2/10
A better showing from yesterday but not by much. A couple Chinese in this morning with 1206 especially good. Best sampling by far was at 1435Z, getting some boost from dawn enhancement.
