[IRCA] Fwd: [SDR-IQ] Video
This was pretty good. Nice and sunny there - and language is relative. -- Forwarded message -- From: Giampiero Bernardini giampiero.bernard...@fastwebnet.it Date: Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 4:38 AM Subject: [SDR-IQ] Video To: sdr...@yahoogroups.com Ciao, My Catalan friend Jordi Brunet came to Bocca di Magra (Liguria region, Italy) to listen the radio with Dario Monferini and me. I made a video, testing some radio as SDR-IQ, maybe you can enjoy yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZbJ0Wy1Q64 73 Giampiero Giampiero Bernardini Milano, Italy __._,_.___ . __,_._,___ -- Mary Anne Sanford W7MAS Portland, Oregon USA CN85pn ___ 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] Reintroduction
Hi There - been awhle since I was heard here. I took the opportunity to do some early listening, something I have time for, but seldom do. I retired 10/1/2008 after 32 yrs with the US Forest Service, and came into a bit more time on my hands, but less willing to get up early. But I did today and used my new RFSPACE SDR-IQ to LOOK at the available TPS - it was fun seeing them all center up when I set the TS to 9Khx, but I was only able to see them, my antennea did not produce anymodulation. But the SDDR-IQ is VERY cool. I never knew what noise there is around me! I'm hoping to put up a EWE pointed at JA land, then we will see (literally). My history- I got involved in SWL and MW in abt 1960 or so using a halicrafters SX-62 and a random wire. Had lots of fun collecting R Habana and R Moscow, WLW, WBZ, WBBS, etc .. and left the hobby abt 1967. Returned 1978-1980, 1997-98, and more recently 2003-now. Got amateur license 2004 and hold General now. Equipment include IC-PCR1500, IC-R75, IC-746pro, SDR-iq, IC-910H, IC-706MkIIg, Antennas include a G5RVjr, evesdroop SWL, MFJ-1020 active antenna, lottsa VHF skyhooks. I have a city lot in the North of portland so I have to guy top-rail to get horz wire but an EWE might fit, IF I can get the SO to approve - but wait! it's winter and no one will notice!! Until later, 73 -- Mary Anne Sanford W7MAS Portland, Oregon USA CN85pn ___ 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] field strengths of AM FM stations by Zipcode
Don't remember seeing this before in this list. Find the field strengths of AM day, AM Night and FM stations within U.S. postal zip codes throughout the U.S. This web program produces accurate radio station signal field strengths, organized by zip codes, from the FCC's CDBS AM and FM database, as of September 27, 2006. V-Soft Communications provides this data free of charge as a service to its customers and friends. http://www.v-soft.com/ZipSignal/default.htm WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS DATA, AS PRESENTED, ARE DISTRIBUTED AND PROVIDED AS IS AND WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Enter a US zip code to find the signal strength of AM or FM stations serving the location. AM stations can be identified by their frequency in kHz or the all upper case city of license. AM Night stations have the -N appended to their call signs. 100+ dBu Extremely strong 80+ dBu Very Strong 70+ dBu Strong Principal city coverage 60+ dBu Good coverage 50+ dBu Weaker Coverage - may have interference * Coverage predictions use the standard FCC method, directional antenna patterns, if used by the stations, and for FM stations the 30 arc-second NGDC terrain elevation database. AM daytime station coverage and nighttime coverage is predicted using the M3 ground conductivities curves. 50 dBu is the cutoff for prediction for this signal strength retrieving program. Many stations may have coverage past the 50 dBu. The majority of FM stations are protected from interference by the FCC only to their 60 dBu, any coverage past that signal strength value would depend on whether there are other stations causing interference, which cannot be reliably predicted using the standard methods employed herein. Many AM stations operating at night are subject to interference which is not considered by this ___ 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
