Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-24
I noticed that mine and Gary's reception of VoA were at the same time, so thought I'd upload a recording for comparison: http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/VoA1575_20150224_1438.wav which starts just about the time the man starts talking in Gary's recording. Mind you, I didn't hear much else of what he heard in the upper band. And now, at 0730UT, 774 is starting to come in, //with a weaker 747. It's been awhile since that happened. best wishes, Nick At 16:19 24-02-15, Gary wrote: Hello All,  1575-VOA was the star of a session dominated by the high band this morning, managing its best signal of 2015 (very good) around 1438 UT. The low and middle band regulars were well down from their usual strength, however, and all of the Asians were long gone before 1500.  At the 1420 start of my session only 594-JOAK was in audio on the low band (with fair peaks in and out), but the usual Asians on 603, 693, 747 and 972 were struggling to get out of the noise. The high band sounded much more promising, with the regulars on 1503 (apparently JOUK), 1566, 1575 and 1593 already in and out of the splatter with fair signals. Around 1430 both 1575-VOA and1593-CNR1 got significant daylight boosts up to intermittent good levels, with the Thailand big gun managing to reach its best level of the new year (very good) briefly through some splatter around 1438. From that point on everything seemed to go downhill, with 594 diving into the noise around 1450 and the high band regulars around 1455. The usual low band performers 603-HLSA and 693-JOAB barely managed a whimper during the session, as the high band delivered the only energetic signals of the morning.  1575 VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand   Female and male Asiatic language speech with very good peaks (through some splatter) at 1438 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/zy8v66bp9ze76d7/1575-VOA-1438z022415CCSW.MP3   73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna      ___ 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 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] Impromptu DX Test on 1560?

Re: [IRCA] Drake R8
Chris, That I did not know. The tech I talked to at the time told me that Drake would continue to repair the R8s until they could not get the parts. But at least John Kriner is continuing with the repairs. Hopefully mine will last many more years. It lasted 19 years before I got it repaired and that was 2011. I guess it has been 4 years now. Time flies. The R75 seems like the best choice now, unless a DXer wants to spend a mint, if they want an analog receiver.

[IRCA] 2015 Ultralight Radio Shootout Article in DXM
Hello All, Thanks very much to Phil for publishing the first 9 pages of the 2015 Ultralight Radio Shootout article in the current issue of the IRCA DX Monitor. For those who read the article and wondered what happened to the rest of the C.Crane Skywave and Eton Traveler III reviews (and the Shootout portion of the competition), that article was only Part One of a two part series. The conclusion should be in the next DXM issue. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ___ 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] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-24
Hello All, 1575-VOA was the star of a session dominated by the high band this morning, managing its best signal of 2015 (very good) around 1438 UT. The low and middle band regulars were well down from their usual strength, however, and all of the Asians were long gone before 1500. At the 1420 start of my session only 594-JOAK was in audio on the low band (with fair peaks in and out), but the usual Asians on 603, 693, 747 and 972 were struggling to get out of the noise. The high band sounded much more promising, with the regulars on 1503 (apparently JOUK), 1566, 1575 and 1593 already in and out of the splatter with fair signals. Around 1430 both 1575-VOA and1593-CNR1 got significant daylight boosts up to intermittent good levels, with the Thailand big gun managing to reach its best level of the new year (very good) briefly through some splatter around 1438. From that point on everything seemed to go downhill, with 594 diving into the noise around 1450 and the high band regulars around 1455. The usual low band performers 603-HLSA and 693-JOAB barely managed a whimper during the session, as the high band delivered the only energetic signals of the morning. 1575 VOA Ban Rassom, Thailand Female and male Asiatic language speech with very good peaks (through some splatter) at 1438 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/zy8v66bp9ze76d7/1575-VOA-1438z022415CCSW.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna ___ 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] Fwd: [mwcircle] Mongolia on Long Wave: Paper about reception in Germany & Austria
I suppose you speak about any Russian MW stations, not just R. Rossii's? I have been able to confirm only SIX of them so far. There may be a couple active in Far East Russia, but no one has reported them. 810 kHz should be off, or has someone heard it in February? http://wrth.com/updates_national.html R. Rossii has closed most of its medium wave transmitters. Only the following transmitters have been reported on the air after 31 January : Matveyevka 936 kHz, Ust-Kan/Ulagan 1350/1353 kHz, Buguruslan 1395 kHz and Turochak/Ust-Koksa 1440 kHz. 73, Mauno 24.2.2015, 8:32, Walter Salmaniw kirjoitti: Glad to see that 810 is still on, as I was lead to believe that it was going off the air as well, Chuck. 73,...Walt PS: Has anyone at Grayland ever heard any of the various private MW Russian far east stations?

Re: [IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Mongolia on Long Wave: Paper about reception in Germany & Austria
Walt, <<< For whatever reason, the Mongolians have only been very rarely heard in Masset. I don't remember whether I ever heard them in Grayland. >>> On some high gain Longwave-optimized FSL antennas in September of 2011 both 164-Mongolia and 209-Mongolia showed up occasionally here in Puyallup, but neither one was ever very strong. On only one occasion was I able to confirm the parallel- just barely. I know that Steve R. also received both of these occasionally when he was at his previous location in Elgin (with the 1600' long wire), but I don't think that he ever had them very strong, either. This recording of fair-level female vocal music from 209-Mongolia was parallel with a poor-level 164 signal at the time, and was just about the strongest that either one of these has ever managed here in Puyallup (the weak morse code is from the now defunct beacon, 206-PWT in Bremerton, WA). http://www.mediafire.com/view/h31avcnc9vm0ydy/209-Mongolia-1227Z090811PL380.MP3 Losing the Rossii Longwaves on 153, 171, 180, 189, 234 and 279 kHz wiped out 95% of the Longwave TP possibilities here on the west coast. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) . - Original Message - From: "Walter Salmaniw" To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 9:42:10 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Mongolia on Long Wave: Paper about reception in Germany & Austria I miss them as well, Nick.
