Re: [IRCA] Fwd: Amazing, Adaptable AM Radio
Per Wikipedia, XWA started experimentally on 01 Dec 1919 and began regular programming on 20 May 1920. KDKA may have still been using 8ZZ on 02 Nov 1920 when they broadcast election returns. It was listed as unclear whether their license had been received by that date. KQW was not licensed until 09 Dec 1921, but had been using experimental calls since 1909.

Re: [IRCA] Perseus WAV Files for Download - LW MW at Rockworks #4, Oregon
Guy, Thanks for posting these files. It was a pleasure listening to such a low noise level compared to here in the city. Some of the signals were stunning. CYT was so big and clear I thought it was local at first. I mostly looked for Alaskan NDBs, but found a couple from the West. I haven't heard a few of these in years here. I didn't log the Canadian or lower 48 beacons. There is also a tantalizing carrier on 437 kHZ that I was hoping was the Russian beacon OG, but I couldn't dig out any trace of either sideband. I am certain I missed some.

Local sunrise during the DX trip was within a minute or two of 1500 UTC, when many Pacific time zone domestic stations boost their output to daytime power, with the resulting increase of QRM to Trans-Pacific signals. These links are in pairs-- WAV files from Top-of-the-Hour, 1459:30-1500:30 UTC on November 2nd and 3rd, and a few minutes earlier from 1452-1453 UTC on November 2nd and 3rd. These two recordings made a few minutes prior to local SR have generally less splatter because locals/regionals have not yet boosted their output. I haven't tuned the long wave range of these recordings... I'm sure theres' some interesting Pacific and Asian LW DX to be found on them! My apologies for the annoying video ad Capcha's security for download of these files; the Mediafire.com host requires watching a short video ad before you can enter a code and proceed with download. In the future I may move everything to my Box.com account to avoid this. http://www.mediafire.com/download/3ak50ibq2z782zm/atkins_rockworks4_2nov13_1452utc_150-1750kHz.wav http://www.mediafire.com/download/c9koya788w946dd/atkins_rockworks4_2nov13_1459utc_150-1750kHz.wav http://www.mediafire.com/download/g9dhl8n86sq0ydk/atkins_rockworks4_3nov13_1452utc_150-1750kHz.wav http://www.mediafire.com/download/gg3angh4he1kc2g/atkins_rockworks4_3nov13_1459utc_150-1750kHz.wav A few years ago I published a Perseus SDR blog (Five Below) about tropical bands and MW DXing with this receiver. A popular section of the blog was links to Perseus WAV files recorded by DXers around the world. These files are still online and available to anyone who is interested. They are organized in sub-folders by geographical region of the DXer. The entire folder of files (93 WAV recordings) is located at: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/1shbad73mby1c/wav 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA ___
