Re: [IRCA] KAZ Antenna Query and two TA Unids

2011-10-27 Thread Dave Pyatt
I was going to correct the reply below and say that Radio Paradise was not on 
820 but on 830 kHz. I decided first to check their website 
and sure enough they are on 820 kHz. I have a QSL card from Radio Paradise from 
1991 that states a frequency of 830 kHz. I had actually 
heard the station when it was still on 825 kHz. I sent my letter directly to 
Radio Paradise and never received a reply.This was just at the time 
that Trinity Broadcasting took over.  About a year later, I saw an article on a 
verification from Trinity. I sent my original letter plus a second 
letter to Trinity explaining that I had heard the station when it was still on 
825 kHz and asked if they would they verify my report as being for a reception 
on 825 kHz even though they were no longer on this frequency.

They did.

 Subject: [IRCA] KAZ Antenna Query and two TA Unids
 
 Hello guys, my first time posting to the list.
 
 First of all I am a KAZ fan, had great success with one a couple of 
 years ago,
 well it was actually a Super KAZ with a longish base line of 140'.
 
 I re-erected this ant a few days ago, this time with remote termination 
 control
 as per the (Mark Connelly, WA1ION ) design, using the Mini-Circuits 
 balun over a
 home-brew model on the previous KAZ, and power feed down the coax.
 Only difference form the published article is my use of 1mh chokes 
 instead of the stated 2.2mh,
 all I had in the junk box !
 
 I am getting a shallow NULL on the on the lower portion of of the MW band.
 However I have a super NULL on LW, and can take out the strong162 from 
 France
 which is where the NULL direction should be.
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 
 
 Log Query:
 TA prop has been very poor from this side (Europe) of the Atlantic so 
 far this season.
 Logged two unids on 650  820 this morning just after SR, both seemed to 
 be carrying
 religious programming with no call id's during the very short time they were
 audible, as is usual for these stations !

 I don't know if you would like to run a bit of this through noise

 It's the id with a little before and after. At the very beginning just
 before 15-10 it sounds like News talk. That would rule out KFNN.  
 At
 8 secs there is a YL and it sounds as if she is saying It's 4 am. If
 so that would narrow it down to a handful of stations I should think.

 Bear in mind that a couple of minutes before the recording the signal
 was strong enough for me to decipher the web address and phone  
 number of
 a haulage company which has its HQ in Lincoln, Nebraska.

 Interestingly a MWDXer who lives only 20 miles from me has the new
 Perseus receiver and had recorded a block including 1510 at the  
 time. He
 has a weak KCKK id but no sign of what I have. I heard KCKK 25  
 minutes

 I think I agree with Paul Walker on this one. I've been listening
 repeatedly to Paul Crankshaw's clips, and tried running them  
 through the
 noise-reduction function in Cool Edit. It's still hard to hear, but  
 I'm
 pretty sure the ID in Paul's catch doesn't match up exactly to the  
 KFNN
 ID from the webstream.

 What I hear in my noise-reduced version is something like 1510,  
 KSEN,
 from (something) to (something). There are pretty clearly six  
 syllables
 after the ID, as opposed to the four syllables of Mesa-Phoenix. I'm
 willing to believe that the first part of the ID really is 1510  
 KFNN,
 as it does seem to match the announcer on the KFNN webstream ID, but
 that's not Mesa-Phoenix after that.

 My attempt at noise reduction is here:

Re: [IRCA] CFB (Compact Florescent Blubs)

2007-04-30 Thread Dave Pyatt

I set the 13 watt CFB about a foot away from, and in line with the  
loop. I set my NRD 545 to USB and tuned from about 500 to 1780 kHz. I  
retuned the loop every couple hundred kHz. I  switched off the lamp  
every time I ran across a questionable signal. I did not detect a  
single carrier or even any hash attributable to the CFB.

 Dave,

 Thanks for the feedback. Now, check the whole dial to see if you  
 get any
 carriers, if you haven't already. I was using a touch lamp in the
 bedroom sometime back and even when it was off, I still got a  
 carrier or
 two on the dial. One was 1570.

 73,

Re: [IRCA] CFB (Compact Florescent Blubs)

2007-04-29 Thread Dave Pyatt
The apartment building, where I live, just replaced all incandescent  
bulbs with compact fluorescent. If i recall correctly, the building  
supervisor said they replaced over 3200 bulbs. I just tested one by  
moving a lamp next to my 40 loop and listening on 4 empty AM  
frequencies.  I did not notice any interference from the CFB.

 Such whining!

 I'm buying only CFBs these days, and I haven't seen noise issues  
 with any,
 except for one of the early ones that was purchased 10+ years ago.   
 The
 technology has improved greatly in recent years, so please give  
 them a fair
 shake.

 I also have a low-flush toilet and a low-flow shower head, and have  
 had no
 problems with either.

 In these troubled times, it behooves us all to practice  
 conservation and to
 try and make a tiny difference, even if it involves the occasional  
 small
 sacrifice or inconvenience.

[IRCA] WMRO heard in Burlington

2007-01-15 Thread Dave Pyatt
Just listened to my overnight log of 1560 and heard swept tones and  
weak Morse at ~ 08:24 UTC. Listened also at 08:34 and 08:48 as per  
the program info but heard nothing. I did not hear any music.

I don't have a phaser, so I rotated the loop to null WQEW and hoped  
for the best, however, WQEW was still very strong.

Re: [IRCA] 1580 question - Is anyone currently off-frequency?

2006-12-31 Thread Dave Pyatt
I can receive CKDO during the daytime, and I've also noticed when  
listening on SSB that they are slightly off frequency.

 More than a bit unlikely - you have no idea how difficult it is to  
 hear Oregon
 from this part of the continent!  I mined 1580 quite extensively  
 before CKDO
 moved there, and I never had any hint of KGAL, nor did I expect any.

 In any case, it's easy to tell from here that it's CKDO themselves  
 who are off
 frequency.
