Yes, I wondered whether that might be the case Dennis. Did you get
a recording of it?

There was no repeat on 1215 this morning unfortunately.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,

not today

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it

1215 DYRF? woman singing slowly 1341UT, faded up to this level
1346UT with woman talking insistently, sounded Tagalog to this

can't get that to match up with anything. Unfortunately I was still
in bed when this was recording, but I can't find a webstream anyway.
Per a priest's blog site,
http://fielsvd.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/new-programs-at-dyrf-radio-fuerza-by-march-2014/"We

have just acquired a powerful 12 kilowatt Nautel digital
transmitter. With the advent of this top of the line transmitter,
our coverage has greatly amplified. We have enveloped totally the
whole Cebu province with our broadcast. To date we are
also constantly receiving text messages and calls from
listeners coming from various towns in Bohol, Ormoc,
Leyte, Negros Oriental and Occidental, Surigao del Norte, Siquijor,
Zamboanga del Norte, Agusan del Norte, etc. And indeed we are
excited even as we celebrate this latest development! "

Darn good transmitter, I'd say. Guess I should send a report?

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or
noise could be understood by a native speaker:

1314 DWXI woman in Tagalog 1431UT, followed by man as it
faded. This was the only overseas audio on the band just then,
tracking its webstream.

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) :

567 JOIK woman talking rapidly 1321UT //594
738 Tahiti? woman talking then man, might have been FF 1230UT
1503 JOUK woman talking, then man //594 1345UT
1566 HLAZ? woman talking JJ inflection 1313UT
1593 CNR1? man and woman talking seemed //6175 1438UT, better on

Not a stellar morning here, though not as bad as Bruce 
described.  Things were minimally lively from 1230 to 1320UT, then 
got quite dull until pretty much 1430UT for a few minutes



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):



not today



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


774 JOUB  briefly at this level w/man and woman doing EE lessons 1249UT



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


1593 CNR1 man in CC 1433UT, ID'd at weaker level a few minutes earlier //6175


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) :


747 JOIB traces of EE lessons just before 1300UT, pips on hour; same 
was heard on 828, but very weak; JOBB was "better" at 1239UT w/woman 
talking unintelligibly.

972 HLCA? man talking, might have been KK, 1247UT
1053 KK jammer 1238UT
1314 DWXI heard w/group vocal mx 1428UT, but ID'd tracking webstream 
at 1435UT w/more music, then man talking.
1566 HLAZ? woman talking CC inflection 1438UT.  At this level a

have a reputation of not changing patterns at night. They over-ride WGY

Re: [IRCA] CORRECTION: DX Test From WWXL-1450

Manchester is in eastern Kentucky, so, yes, they would observe DST there.  In 
fact, I believe the entire state does.  73,Rick DauSouth Omaha, Nebraska

Re: [IRCA] CORRECTION: DX Test From WWXL-1450

2014-03-04 Thread Russ Edmunds

Perhaps the pertinent question is whether or not the area where the station is 
located
observes DST. I used to have some good sources on the web of which parts of 
which 
states do not observe DST. These things change with time, but I couldn't locate 
anything
last night.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-4

2014-03-04 Thread d1028gary


Hello All,

Once again some low and high band Asians managed to show up during a lackluster 
sunrise enhancement session, collapsing in unison after about 30 minutes of 
modest propagation.

During the predawn darkness at 1405 there was already a very good signal from 
1566-HLAZ, so it may have been potent for some time before that. Unfortunately, 
that turned out to be the best signal of the entire session. Around 1410 a 
collection of low band Asians faded in at modest levels, including 558-HLQH 
(fair to good at 1415, stronger than its 603 //), 594-JOAK (good peaks around 
1425), 603-HLSA (fair at 1430) and 657-Pyongyang (fair at 1428). The usual 
middle band big guns on 972, 1053 and 1134 were MIA today, but both 1575-VOA 
and 1593-CNR1 did manage to join 1566-HLAZ with fair to good signals from 
1415-1435. As yesterday, all the Asians seemed to fall off of a cliff around 
1440, with 594-JOAK the last survivor. Overall the session wasn't anything to 
shout about, but after the recent solar shutdown it's probably better to be 
thankful.

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

[IRCA] Fwd: [sdr-radio-com] SDR Receiver ELAD-FDM-S2: Test drive with a 6MHz HF file!

2014-03-04 Thread Nick Hall-Patch




For those interested in the Elad  FDM-S2, from the sdr-radio 
listand no, I haven't tried it yet. Posted by  "Nils Schiffhauer" 



best wishes,

Nick




Hi - to test and to try out receivers had been a difficult animal. With
SDRs, their freely available software and some HF-files all has changed: Do
it yourself!

I had prepared such a test drive with a 6 MHz wide HF file (actually three,
chained automatically by the software), centered around 10 MHz, just 20
minutes after local sunset at 17:00 UTC on a 83 m long piece of wire with
ELAD's FDM-SW2.

A screenshot of the whole recording as sonagram (blow it up to 100% - woow!)
can be downloaded at:

It has been made with Simon Brown's "SDR-RADIO.COM".

Then you may view a video with some examples from this file (broadcast as
well as utility) at:


To actually take a test drive, you have first to download the software
FDM-SW2 itself; it's free:


Install it.

Then download the three HF (WAV) files from this folder:


This may take a while, for they weigh 4 GB.

Copy them into the "Recordings" folder of FDM-SW2 software.

Start software FDM-SW2, click onto "Offline", then into "File", and choose
the first WAV-file. Start playing. During playing, they are automatically
chained.
As the recording in wide, but short, you may activate the loop function.
Now try out the receiver/file, as you like - it's a feeling really like
"live"!

Hopefully, your PC accepts these big files, and is not stuttering. It all
works fluently on a PC, state-of-the-art. It is planned to upload also
smaller files.

Critics & comments welcomed!
