Re: [IRCA] Another Alaskan

It is a mixed bag up here. With the demise of so many Canadian AMers, several 
frequencies have opened up to here more distant stations. 1220 for instance, I 
caught WLSD VA on there several years ago. 1220 was totally blocked here in the 
NW for years with CJOC as well as CKDA NSP.

Even on the JA beverage, Alaska MW stations are not at all common here.
Altho 529 Level Island is very routine but no so the BCB stations.   Yukon
and NT are even less common as in "never".  Something "could" be lurking on
an SDR recording so maybe I shouldn't say never

Noted KINY this morning in spite of lousy TP conditions 
Chris.   Didn't ID until 1402UT, I thought it must have been a Canadian!


KTKN-930 is probably the most likely Alaskan here, but I suspect the 
Edmonton listener might find that a bit rare.


As Patrick mentioned, CFWH-570 was our best bet for YT, unfortunately 
long gone.


I wonder what Don Moman hears up your way?

There are no regularly heard YT or NWT stations from the West Coast. CFWH 570 
used to be heard occasionally in the NW and CKRW 610 is rare. (I have both). 
CFWH moved to FM a couple years back.  The only other YT with any power is CBC

West Coast. NWT has no stations with any power, the two Yellowknife's 1340 and

[IRCA] Another Alaskan

2014-12-02 Thread C & T Dorn
I don't listen much in the mornings, but noted 800 KINY, Juneau here at 
1550 UTC before heading out. I imagine this is a regularly heard station 
on the West Coast, and probably a pest for the TP hunters, but it is 
only the second Alaskan station for me after 1110 KAGV. I wonder if 
there are any regularly heard stations from NWT and/or YT?

Re: [IRCA] November 8-10 Grayland DXpedition Report

I enjoyed reading your report as usual, Gary. :)
Something I've been thinking about re: your reception reports..."Signals that 
pegged the meter at 25 dB S/N" ...
I'd like to see some distinction if possible (especially on future reports) 
between stations that merely flash 25 dB briefly once or a few times during the 
session when you're in the +/- 1 kHz BW setting, versus stations that have it 
solidly pegged at 25 dB S/N even in the +/- 6 kHz BW setting, or something like 
that. :)
Also, while the giant FSLs are interesting, I'm also interested in learning 
more about smaller affordable FSLs.  I'm especially interested in ones such 
that the FSL *AND* ULR combined fit within the 20 cubic inches and $100 cost of 
ULR definitions. :)  Also what about using ultra-short rods to build an FSL 
around the perimeter of a hollowed-out ULR, for example taking the shell of a 
DT-400W, putting an SRF-59's guts in it and putting an FSL around its 
perimeter?  At what point, when going ultra-small/cheap with an FSL, is it 
better to just use a comparable-size/price ferrite bar or a simple air-core 
loop or something like that?

on your reports from Puyallup, I guess I haven't missed out on much.)

 Hello All, 
  
For those interested, a full article describing the 3-day Grayland Ultralight 
DXpedition conducted with the new 17" FSL antenna on Veterans Day weekend has 
been uploaded at 
http://www.mediafire.com/view/k7boymq62q2p5v1/November_2014_Grayland_Ultralight_DXpedition.doc
  , and will shortly be uploaded to the Yahoo Ultralightdx file site.  
  
Describing the rare chance to take oversized items like the 17" FSL antenna and 
the 30" loopstick Sony ICF-2010 model to the ocean coast, the article includes 
multiple photos of the TP-DXing setup at the end of Grayland Beach Road, along 
with MP3 links for 39 Asian DX recordings made at the site. Thanks very much to 
Phil Bytheway for already posting summary articles of the DXpedition to the 
club bulletins-- this full DXpedition article was something that I had not 
planned to write, but suddenly decided was more interesting to complete than 
chasing wispy TP audio during dreary sunrise DXing sessions at my landlocked 
home location :-) 
  
73 and Good DX,
