Re: [IRCA] SDRplay receiver

[longwave]

Mark, 

I have one that I've used sparingly. If you want to try it out I'd be happy to 
send it down to you. In the short time I used it (only on FM) it worked well. I 
know Mike Bugaj uses one.

Re: [IRCA] DKAZ questions

[longwave]

I'm about 15 miles SSE of Boston. My situation with local stations, noise and 
interference is somewhat interesting. 

On MW I have WBZ and their 50kw blowtorch just to my NNE by about 4 miles but 
other than that I'm in good shape. I have very little noise (my noise floor on 
the ELAD at 500 khz is somewhere around -115). I have a switched termination 
superloop that is about 50x100 running SW/NE and a couple of Wellbrook 
ALA1530's (one is the S+ while the other is a borrowed older model). I have 
slightly more than 3/4 of acre so I can separate my antennas by about 90 to 100 
ft. My problem is with phasing. No matter what configuration (altho I've yet to 
try the 2 Wellbrooks together) I find it hard not hear WBZ underneath the null 
(phase) on a number of frequencies. Even with a Chris Scott Associates AM 
tuneable notch I have phasing issues (the notch works perfectly on BZ without 
the Phaser however). In other cases if I don't hear BZ under the phase (null) I 
get a nasty hum. The one section of the AM band I do have some decent phasing 
luck is above 1200 khz but not always. 

On FM I have WGBH with 98kw about 7 miles west of me. No problems their except 
when pointing the FM antennas that way I have set the attenuation on the ELAD.

Subject: Re: [IRCA] DKAZ questions 

Lots of useful info - thanks to all! I think it would also be useful to 
tell you about my RF situation here in the Land of Goshen to get the 
best advice. 

1. I live less than two miles from 3 transmitters: 

-- WCMR 1270 AM. They are 5kW day, 1kW night. Bearing: NNW 
-- WFRN 104.7 FM. 50kW. Same site as WCMR. 
-- WSSM 97.7 FM. 6kW. Bearing: NNE 

I usually have to switch on attenuation for the ELAD via software (and 
for any other radio, really) when using my SE-NW longwire, which is 
about 150 feet long. The rest are OK without attenuation. That's a lot 
of RF flying about though. Growing up, we used to hear WCMR in all kinds 
of odd situations - sometimes just an improperly-grounded audio circuit 
would pick them up. I swear I heard their audio once coming from the 
heater vents from the furnace... 

2. There's a local RF noise source from somewhere - I think it's the 
neighbor across the road, using some kind of battery charger on the RV 
parked in their drive. We've talked briefly before, but I really need to 
take the time to get with him and identify the problem, and offer to 
help replace equipment or whatever it takes. It's pretty bad. Sometimes 
it even covers up the Detroit Tigers game on Kalamazoo's WKZO on 590, 
which upsets both myself and my brother, who lives next door. :^) 

Whatever the interference is, gets sent out the power lines from the 
neighbor's house, to the power pole. That section of power line is above 
ground, so it radiates the noise locally to whatever will receive it. 
What receives it best is MY power line coming to the house from the same 
pole, which is also above ground. So I've got "dirty" power coming into 
the house, as well as power lines transmitting it to the surrounding 
area. To get away from all that noise, I have to have the antenna about 
100 feet away from the house, on the opposite side from the road. 
Anything closer gets saturated with noise. 

Best solution is to identify the noise and eliminate it. The neighbors 
are nice people - I think I can get him to help narrow it down. Perhaps 
another solution would be to see if the power company will bury the 
power lines for both of us. It would involve going under the road though 
- the pole is on my side of the road. 

As I get older, I'm finding myself more willing to spend the money for 
"plug n play" solutions, but still, it's fun tinkering and rolling your 
own. Just a matter of time for me mostly right now - there are some 
other big time-consuming projects I need to address. 

Thanks for all the feedback! (If this were an audio forum, that would've 
been a pun...)

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1650 "SAC" Morse Code oddity

[longwave]

It is probably some sort of a harmonic of a beacon that has been reported on 
320 and 325 khz. The offset of this beacon has been reported at either 398 or 
400 hz above and below center frequency. It supposedly belongs to Southern 
Avionics and the location is Beaumont Texas.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] An SDR for the masses?

[longwave]

I looks like is 8gb of flash storage. If the SDR can record up to 192 khz of 
bandwidth then it would perfect for a quick on-the-go type of unit. Even 
recording one frequency at a time would be ok for that.

Even if it is capable of receiving more than a single channel, there's not 
likely enough capacity there to record it without dumping the output files

But what would be the point of a single channel SDR ?

Re: [IRCA] Skywave noise

Speaking as a MW dxer I agree that the AM band needs some housework.  However 
speaking as an FM dxer its also too crowded on FM (where IBOC really makes a 
mess of things).  Between IBOC and living between 2 major markets and close a 
third regional market I don't have too many open FM frequencies.  Unless they 
expand the FM band I don't want to see anything new dropped into FM.

Re: [IRCA] Comments on Wellbrook Array

[longwave]

I've used both the Wellbrook K9AY and most recently the Wellbrook 
1530...blow quite a few of the fuses herealso blew something in the 
antenna interface box on the 1530.  Ordered a new 1530 last week and 
will return the interface box on the old one for a swap.  Then I'll be 
using the two 1530's to phase against each other.

The fuses generally blow when you use sub-par COAX and there are shorts between

Re: [IRCA] Sony 2010 Prices

[longwave]

I owned or have owned the following portables/portatops in the past 15 years.

Eton E1
Grundig Sat 800
Grundig Sat 700
Sony 2010

I would give the nod to the E1 as the best all around radio of the group.

On MW it beats out the Sony 2010 by a small bug signifcant margin.  The 
inclusion of Pass Band Tuning and 3 well chosen filter shapes as well as many 
other goodies make this a no brainer.  The only thing that holds it back from 
being a runaway champ is the need for an outboard antenna (altho the whip does 
a suprisingly good job).  I agree with George in that it comes darn close to 
being better than my Drake R8A.

On SW the Eton is a runaway winner.  Sound is better, Synch is better, PBT, all 
the bells and whistles.

On FM (and this is important to me) its comes in second of the bunch by a small 
hair under the Sat 700 (which has narrower FM filters and RDS).  The Sony 2010 
is not good for any sort of FM dxng IMHO.

I was  big BZ fan in the late 60s and early 70s.

Listened to Larry Glick faithfully and remember when Dick Summer came

Later I was still a faithful listener until the mid 80s ...mostly

Re: [IRCA] LAST STRAW

I've found that the SSB technique only works part of the time.  Using USB on

Hi Bill,

I agree wholeheartedly.  Even with phasing it requires constant adjustments on 
certain frequencies.  For the most part I'll be dxng very little between 650 
and 1220 khz.  

At one time I thought that IBOC would be far more harmful to FM dxng.  That is 
not the case.

Re: [IRCA] Perseus receiver

I recently purchased the Perseus myself and I'm loving every minute of

set the priority in Task Manager to Above Normal for the Perseus it runs

  Hi Everyone: 


  Ten days ago I placed an order for a Perseus receiver. Not a sudden decision by any means as I 
had been thinking of getting one for almost a year. The sudden death of my old Dell computer was 
the catalyst I needed. It was approaching it's 9th birthday, well past it's best before date and 
not worth repairing so a replacement suitable for driving a SDR was found. The Perseus arrived here 
last Friday and I've spent the past two evenings learning something about it. All I can say so far 
is "Wow!" this machine is incredible. Yesterday evening I could see many TA's across the 
whole band, admittedly most of them were just carriers, but to actually see them is beyond belief. 
Even on the longwave beacons I could actually read the Morse code IDs being transmitted on the 
screen. Yet months ago when I first read about this waterfall display in the users manual I thought 
"I will never use that" and now I'm thinking I will use it all the time. It's gonna take

Re: [IRCA] Inexpensive E1's.

[longwave]

Rick,

I have owned the Sat 500, 700, 800 and I currently have the Eton E1. 
The best of the bunch for FM was the 700. I believe that both the 500 
and 700 had 150 khz filters in the FM section while the 800 has two 180 
khz filters.  The E1 is very good on FM (not sure of the filter size). 
Probably not quite as good as the 700 was but very close.  It performs 
very well in my very crowded and IBOC heavy FM location.

Re: [IRCA] Legalized Bevereges

[longwave]

I live about 20 miles south of downtown Boston but I'm lucky enough to have a 
fairly decent sized lot (3/4 acre) with about 200 ft or better running NE 
toward Europe.  When we bought the house last year I tried 3 antennas.  The 
first was a 100 ft longwire running toward the NE.  A second was another 100 ft 
longwire running toward the SSE.  Both of these were not terminated.  My third 
antenna was (and still is) a K9AY loop.  Of all three I got the best results 
from the K9AY.  Heard things I had only heard when living right on the water 
several years back.  Late this winter I bought a Wellbook ALA1530 loop.  I 
mounted it on a rotor about 7 ft off the ground and it blows everything else 
away.  It's incredibly quiet and hence hears things the other antennas don't.  
I use that now as my main antenna and phase it with the K9AY.

This fall I do plan on running a 200ft min BOG NE to the edge of the wetlands 
and terminate it.  We will see what results it brings.

Re: [IRCA] HELP: 1570 unID

[longwave]

I love searching stuff like this on the net.  When FM skip comes around 
I end up doing a lot of this :)

I really think Willis had the Alabama Station (WCRL).  Like Scott said I 
highly doubt an all sports station would run Xmas music.  The Oneonta 
Station seems to be a perfect fit.  I might give them a call today or 
next week after the holidays just to satisfy my curiosity.

NowAll my shopping is done...its Xmas eve morning...time for 
dxng...then footballthen some Chinese food...then wrapping the 
presents after the kids are in bed and then more dxng...Sounds like a 
good day!!!

 Willis,

 This song has been stuck in my head ever since you brought up 
>> "Palisades
 Park".
 Yes, it does date me and anyone else who remembers it. .
  *Artist: Freddy Cannon Lyrics
 Song: Palisades Park Lyrics*
 Last night I took a walk after dark
 A swingin' place called Palisades Park
 To have some fun and see what I could see
 That's where the girls are

 I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute
 That girl I sat beside was awful cute
 And after while she was holdin' hands with me

 My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship
 Down like a roller coaster
 Back like a loop-the-loop
 And around like a merry-go-round

 We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
 We danced around to a rockin' band
 And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
 In the tunnel of love

 You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
 When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
 When I fell in love down at Palisades Park

 Instrumental with the sound of a roller coaster and the screams of its
 riders

 We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
 We danced around to a rockin' band
 And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
 In the tunnel of love

 You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
 When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
 When I fell in love down at Palisades Park

 Down at Palisades Park

 FADE
 You know it's Palisades Park
 Down at Palisades Park

[IRCA] Dx is iteresting but so is the weather.....

[longwave]

It's 60 degrees at 11pm on Jan 5 in Hingham MAThis is crazy.  Small 
trees in the area were actually starting to bud and some Magnolia trees 
(at least I think they are) bloomed in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston 
today...see link below.

Now the weather is going to get colder here for a couple days next week 
(but still only normal or slightly above which about 40) then warming 
back up to the upper 40s and 50's for the following weekend!!!

[IRCA] Two Stations on 1134

[longwave]

Here in Hingham MA tonight I seem to have two stations on 1134.  One is 
a man talking at 10 over S9 and the other sounds like classical music or

the other hand I sometimes think that Jay Sevrin and Ed Schultz have some 
interesting things to say (not too mention the late David Brudnoy).  On the 
local scene up here we have had some interesting people on local talk over the 
years for better or worse (Jerry Williams, Gene Burns, Jay Sevrin, David 
Brudnoy and Howie Carr).  The nice part about listening to most of them is that 
they cover other subjects besides the politics of the day.  All politics all 
the time can be very dull.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: [IRCA] new bill may impact media

[longwave]

I dislike Carr too.  While I didn't agree with Brudnoy on some issues I 
always thought he treated his callers with respect and that earned mega 
points in my book.   Jerry Williams was big back in the 70s and maybe 
into the early 80's IIRC.  Sevrin is on 96.9 locally in our area.  Gene 
Burns is now on the west coast I think.

[IRCA] I love my Eton E1 but..............

[longwave]

For whatever reason the front end does not like cold dry weather.  For 
the past couple of weeks I've noticed that the front overloads quite a 
bit from many of my locals (mainly WBZ but others too).  The only time 
this seems to not happen (or is less severe) is with the Quanum tuned 
loops.  Before the real cold dry weather set in (it had previously been 
wet and mild) I had very little overloading.  So I'm back with the Drake 
R8A for the time being and while the audio quality is not as good (and 
the filters don't seem as tight ) as the Eton at least there is no 
overloading.

Also the overloading seems to more of a daytime problem (much more 
pronounced).

I may end purchasing Chris Scott's AM Notch filter to combat this.

Re: [IRCA] I love my Eton E1 but..............

[longwave]

Have you used the adapter that Universal and others sell for the
antenna?  I use one with mine and I have no connection problems.

Part of my overload problem is my proximity to WBZ's  50kw signal  (6 or
7 miles) and a few other 5kw stations that are within 10 miles or so and
many other big signals within 25 miles.

Re: [IRCA] If You Could Read My Logbook

[longwave]

Back several years ago when Napster was in its infancy I downloaded (I had a 
vinyl copy but no way at the time to transfer to digital)  two versions of the 
song by Gordon Lightfoot.  One was the version we all know and love while the 
other was a slightly faster (or so it seemed to my ears) version that seemed to 
also accent more the higher (treble) sounds. An interesting but not completely 
satisfying result.

Now on a somewhat similar thread...I loved the movie "The Perfect Storm" 
despite the overdone New England accents by some of the actors (at least George 
Clooney didn't even try and Mark Wahlberg didn't have to being a local boy).  
There is the theme song from that movie (altho I don't actually remember 
hearing it at the end of the movie) by John Mellencamp called "Yours Forever" 
that is very haunting and beautiful in the same way "the Wreck of the Edmund 
Fitzgerald" is even though its not a narrative the way the latter isit 
still fits the movie perfectly.

Re: [IRCA] WMEX 1510

In the late 60s this was favorite station in the Boston (until I started

Re: [IRCA] More IBOC

[longwave]

I dx FM quite a bit and unless you have room for a 2nd antenna and a phaser you 
are going to have an extremely difficult time dxng thru IBOC under any 
conditions except for moderate to strong trop or eskip.  I'm lucky enough to 
have such a setup but I still don't waste my time anymore with weak trop or 
enhancement of any kind. The one neat thing is that so far a strong HD Eskip 
will sometimes completely override an existing local analog signal on the same 
frequency.  A few FM dxers in my area experienced this last summer.

Re: [IRCA] (no subject)

[longwave]

Scott is correct on the FM side of things (as well as many things about MW  HD 
too IMHO).

I live about 20 miles south of most of the major Boston FM stations and about 
35-40 miles north of the Providence stations.  With my outdoor antenna I have 
no problem decoding FM HD from those distances...in fact I can decode WFCR in 
Amherst about 40% of the time (at about 90 miles).  With an indoor dipole all 
the Boston stations are fine and Providence comes in about 50% of the time 
under dead band conditions.  I'm actually looking forward to the FM dx season 
with my new HDT-1 (and of course my main FM rig for Analog...The Yamaha t-85).

You know the funny thing about my HDT-1 Tuner is that there are no filters for

Re: [IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC, from the broadcasters' mailing list

The FCC will only mandate it if there are conversion units available to the 
general public (the way they are now for HDTV) for all the existing analog 
radios that are currently out there (within reason and of course including car 
radios).  HDTV also has the advantage since most people now receive their TV 
signals via cable or Sat.

This is where we disagree.  I think that it was inevitable that it was going to 
start but when real world situations occur then I think that the move to all 
digital on MW will be a long slow process if it ever happens.  By the time that 
decision happens there will be too many other delivery systems in place for the 
content that is now deliivered on MW.  I think FM will happen but even there it 
will not happen for at least 10 years (I remember reading those comments 
somewhere in RW from people in the industry).

Once again real world situations will dictate whether it will work or not.  
When Norbert has trouble with WBZ's HD signal (no HD at all) at approximately 
45 miles that spells trouble.  I'm sure WBZ's sales department will not be 
thrilled with that realization.  So picture this...MW goes all digital and 
Someone in SE Mass will wonder what the hell happened to WBZ even if they have 
an HD radio. Like I've said before I have trouble with a 5kw HD signal only 15 
or so miles from me.  All the odds are stacked against MW HD...terrible 
coverage area...the need for some sort of external antenna to receive a 5kw 
signal at more than 15 miles...I ain't gonna happen.

Sure they won't have any signal either unless they are within a very short 
distance from the transmitter.
The continued argument "Just turn off analog" seems rather peevish and IMHO 
does little to promote our hobby.  Granted that hobby may change or not be 
around in 5 or 10 years but the reason just won't be because of HD.

Re: [IRCA] U.S. automakers not jumping into HD Radio

96.9 runs traditional and contemporary Irish music on their second stream here 
in the Boston area.  It is the only second stream (IMHO) that is worthwhile 
from the 30 or so HD stations that I can hear (with my Sangand HDT-1) about 20 
miles south of Boston.  Several stations are still not running a second stream 
and there a few others that are just running a parallel to their main signal.

Re: [IRCA] WDCD 1540 Canada IBAC ruining 1530 and 1550 @ midnightEST

I'll have to give a listen tonight and see how hard it will be to phase 
the nightime stuff out.  Here in HIngham MA I can phase down the hash 
from my two local 5kw stations running HD during the daytime. On the 
flip side the same can't be said for WBZ which is about 7 miles NE of me.

One thing I have noticed is that it is much easier to phase out the main 
signal of my two offending 5kw HD signals compared to pre HD days.  I 
wonder if the same will hold true for phasing the same nightime analog 
signal of an offending station?

[IRCA] Tentative log of WJJG at signoff here in Eastern MA

[longwave]

I was camped out on 1530 hearing a couple of stations  under WCKY and 
right around 2300 UTC I head a station doing what sounded like a 
signoff.  Heard partial calls  twice.  The first time was W..G and the 
second time was ..JG.  Heard "located at ..." into a jumble of WCKY and 
another station.  I checked WJJG's website and it looks like they don't 
sign off until 2315 locally...so its a tentative at this point.

Still have another station under WCKY with what sounds like an old time 
radio show.

Seeing an  earlier post on the WTFDA AM list about KKLF made me head up

actually on the air) Arlington VA "Your Travel and Advisory Station for 
Arlington County" heard twice but calls were lost in a jumble of 
other stations.
