Re: [IRCA] TPs for 6Feb2012 from Victoria: mid-band alive

2012-02-06 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
I listened from Point No Point, BC this morning, facing out towards 
the Pacific Ocean past San Juan Point and Cape Flattery, using an 
ALA100 with a delta loop of about 2 meters on a side.   In spite of 
the nice water path nearby, I can't say that conditions were any 
better than what Walt reported in town.   Perhaps a bit more signal 
on 1566 and 1575, and a bit less on 747.   774 did have reasonable 
strength for its 1540UT s/off, but 747 and 828 had very little audio 
by then; 1566 had faded up a bit by then also, but really, nothing 
very exciting.


best wishes,

Nick

and the same for 594 kHz.  73,   Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

Re: [IRCA] ultralightradios

2012-02-06 Thread d1028gary
Hello Bert,

The list of approved Ultralight radios with synchronous detection is
very short-- actually zero. It was one of the deal-breaking functions
(along with SSB capability) that the organizers of the Ultralight Radio
community (John Bryant, me and others) thought would detract from the
challenge of pocket radio DXing.

The Classification Criteria have not met with universal approval over
the past four years, but the majority of our Ultralightdx Yahoo group
membership understands the need for guidelines that set up a pocket
radio DXing challenge, and the need to rely on propagation knowledge
and patience for DXing success (as opposed to relying on a
"communications receiver in your hand"). This focus has been essential
in creating the booming Yahoo group that we currently enjoy, with
1,175 members around the world.

73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)

Re: [IRCA] ultralightradios

2012-02-06 Thread d1028gary

Hello Curtis,

Thanks for your question on the PL-380 and PL-210 receivers. I have
both of them, and have compared them to each other.

The PL-380 DSP receiver is a very popular radio in the Ultralight DX
group because of its 1 kHz DSP selectivity and less-irritating soft 
mute

threshold. Its AM selectivity is in a different league than that of the
PL-210, so if you are looking for the best adjacent-channel rejection
in a pocket radio, the PL-380 would be your choice. A full review of
the model is posted at http://www.mediafire.com/?w4yuzhj2kyz

The Tecsun PL-210 model lacks the PL-380's breakthrough DSP 
selectivity, and the "dual conversion" feature doesn't improve the 
radio's AM sensitivity or selectivity. For the cheaper Tecsun pocket 
radios, "dual conversion" is simply a band-aid approach to try limiting 
image frequency reception, especially on the Shortwave bands. It sounds 
impressive, but really doesn't accomplish anything for DX reception.

Hi Cutis,
 
The PL-606 will work well with the Q-stick, or any other tuned ferrite
or air core loop. These will all provide a significant increase in AM
sensitivity.
 
The 7.5" plug-in loopstick will only work with the PL-606 when the
FM-SW external antenna jack is internally rewired to replace the stock
loopstick. The 7.5" plug-in loopsticks were designed for the PL-360,
but will work with other ULR's after they are modified. As for
amplified FM antennas, I assume that you mean the high-gain external
antennas like multi-element FM Yagi antennas. These will provide a
boost in FM reception, once the lead-in wires are brought close to the
whip antenna tip.

Not familiar with those radios but if you are looking for a decent
cheap Chinese radio with a lot of capability there is one reviewed in
this video episode of AmatureLogicTV on YouTube.
It is of the Degen DE-1103 and is also sold under the name Kaito
KA1103 and sold in the US at UniversalRadio and other outlets online,
same exact radio.
I don't have one but was thinking of getting one based on this review.

The review of the radio starts at 34:10 on the video time.

[IRCA] WIOI-1010

2012-02-06 Thread David Faulkner
WIOI, 1010, New Boston (Portsmouth) OH back on today with its usual signal & 
format.  I have wondered about this one before because there were times, 
several years back, when I was spending part of my week in Oak Hill, that it 
had a very weak signal there.  I have suspected that, as some automated 
"repeater" type stations sometimes have computer foul-ups that cause them to 
keep their day power turned on late, others may have similar screw-ups that do 
not restore full day power.  WIOI may be such a station.  I don't know how any 
station survives in Portsmouth.  The city is blanketed by the 
Huntington/Ashland FMs, and its population continues to fall.  To think, it 
once had an NFL franchise, the Portsmouth Lions.  I guess they were first out 
of town, leaving for Detroit in 1934.

BTW, WMPO, 1390, Middleport-Pomeroy, OH, has, like WATH, 970, Athens, a 
flea-powered FM twin which, like WATH's, operates on 97.1.  Both stations are 
now mentioning their FM twins in their TOH and other IDs.

[IRCA] 1340-KYLT-Missoula

2012-02-06 Thread Mike Stonebridge
Four nights ago I heard someone on 1340 IDing as Missoula's sports leader, 
1450-KGRZ, or words to that effect. Couldn't figure this out so I did some 
checking. It turns out that 1340-KYLT-Missoula is simulcasting 
1450-KGRZ-Missoula with sports programming. This was confirmed by Larry Godwin 
of Missoula by a phone call to the station and an air check.

[IRCA] TPs for 6Feb2012 from Victoria: mid-band alive

2012-02-06 Thread Walter Salmaniw
Listened for just a few minutes around 15:25 UTC and noticed that the
mid-band was quite perky:  774, 747, and 972 were present with pretty
decent audio, while 1566, 1575, and 1593 were only very weakly heard,
and the same for 594 kHz.  73,   Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
