Re: [IRCA] 1210 KEVT test

2010-07-20 Thread HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS
Hi David;

I'm not an antenna expert, in the least, as most of my current MW DX'ing
is done with portables (though I have an old Sanserino loop in storage).
At any rate, have you considered a flag, pennant or some other corner
fed loop?  Bill Nollman (from CT, on the WTFDA lists) uses something
like a 30'x40'x30' corner fed loop and has so much gain that he has to
attenuate his antenna.  I'm just not sure about the steep angles of your
land.  You should be able to grab TA signals from WV as DX'ers from TN
and AL have heard them in the past.  I think that these corner fed loops
are similar to an EWE but they have a bottom wire and no earth grounds /
terminators, just the resistor on one corner and the transformer
opposite.

Nice AZ catch!

73,
Dave in Indy

Yes, phasing is truly a remarkable thing.  I'm a latecomer to it, having
used indoor loops most of my DXing life, and now I don't know how I ever
lived without it.

 

I'm currently living pretty deep in the woods near the top of the west
side of a ridge.  I have room on my property for a LW of around 150 feet
running at around 20/200 degrees, which I have done at various times.
But the land to my east, up to the top of the ridge, is owned by the
Appalachian Trail Society and essentially unoccupied forest.  It's a
very steep climb and probably half a mile up to the trail itself, so
it's possible to lay a wire on the ground in that general direction
without bothering anyone.  I have one wire that was 500 feet when I put
it down, maybe four or five years ago, running more or less ESE, and a
new one about 200 feet to the NE or ENE, both on the ground running
sharply uphill.  The new one has noticeably better gain on most
frequencies, so I presume the forces of nature have shortened the
500-footer by now.  I'm planning to replace it when the weather cools
off enough for me to climb the ridge with a new wire.  Both are
connected at the near en!
 d with coax to the Quantum Phaser.

 

I'm no antenna theoretician, and I have no idea what an uphill on-ground
wire ought to do.  I probably could run a bit more than 500 feet ESE if
I wanted to, but there doesn't seem to be much point in trying to turn
it into a terminated BOG at that azimuth -- not many DX targets in that
direction, and it seems odd to run a terminated BOG up a steep ridge --
wouldn't the hill itself block signals in the target direction?
Anything much off that azimuth, and I start running into natural
obstacles or occupied land at well below beverage lengths.

[IRCA] 1210 KEVT DX Test, 06 utc, NE Oregon, poor

2010-07-19 Thread Steve Ratzlaff
The 11p.m./06 utc DX test was much poorer than heard at 10p.m. KTBK Seattle 
was strong, playing music that interfered with hearing the DX test. Code 
first noted at 0600:18 utc, then sweep tones, then code, all at poor level 
due to the strong KTBK interference. Quite a contrast to the 10p.m. 
reception where KTBK wasn't heard at all.

Well, I didn't think that was going to work, but two code IDs and a sweep tone 
at 0202 ELT from KEVT made it through here in extreme eastern West Virginia!  
Some snippets of Mexican music earlier in the hour, and a couple nice IDs from 
KGYN as well, in a very tight and unstable partial phase null of WPHT.  By my 
calculations KEVT is 1918 miles, KGYN 1296 miles, and WPHT 159 miles.  Usually

Yes, phasing is truly a remarkable thing.  I'm a latecomer to it, having used 
indoor loops most of my DXing life, and now I don't know how I ever lived 
without it.

 

I'm currently living pretty deep in the woods near the top of the west side of 
a ridge.  I have room on my property for a LW of around 150 feet running at 
around 20/200 degrees, which I have done at various times.  But the land to my 
east, up to the top of the ridge, is owned by the Appalachian Trail Society and 
essentially unoccupied forest.  It's a very steep climb and probably half a 
mile up to the trail itself, so it's possible to lay a wire on the ground in 
that general direction without bothering anyone.  I have one wire that was 500 
feet when I put it down, maybe four or five years ago, running more or less 
ESE, and a new one about 200 feet to the NE or ENE, both on the ground running 
sharply uphill.  The new one has noticeably better gain on most frequencies, so 
I presume the forces of nature have shortened the 500-footer by now.  I'm 
planning to replace it when the weather cools off enough for me to climb the 
ridge with a new wire.  Both are connected at the near en!
 d with coax to the Quantum Phaser.

 

I'm no antenna theoretician, and I have no idea what an uphill on-ground wire 
ought to do.  I probably could run a bit more than 500 feet ESE if I wanted to, 
but there doesn't seem to be much point in trying to turn it into a terminated 
BOG at that azimuth -- not many DX targets in that direction, and it seems odd 
to run a terminated BOG up a steep ridge -- wouldn't the hill itself block 
signals in the target direction?  Anything much off that azimuth, and I start 
running into natural obstacles or occupied land at well below beverage lengths.

[IRCA] 1210 KEVT DX Test heard, NE Oregon, 07 utc

2010-07-17 Thread Steve Ratzlaff
I didn't check until the last hour, and caught the KEVT sweep tones right 
after 0700 utc, then morse code and sweep tones, poor under strong SS KTBK, 
on N/S wire. (KHAT dominant and strong on E/W wire.)

[IRCA] 1210 - KEVT?

2010-01-15 Thread Bill Whitacre
I have yet to review the Perseus recording, but after nulling  phasing as best 
I could 'Coast to Coast' and 'Midnight Radio Network' on 1210 kHz, I found 
latin music and stuck with it for awhile.  At 0926:30 I heard several K calls, 
including what I'm pretty sure was KEVT, in English.  We'll see if there's any 
CW at the TOH.

You know, after trying hard not to listen to 'Coast to Coast' I'm pretty sure I 
was 'visited' by an alien while DXing!  ;-))

[IRCA] 1210 - KEVT?

2010-01-15 Thread Marc DeLorenzo

Thanks for the info, Patrick.  I recorded 1210 from 0255-0405 EST or 0055-0205 
MST and heard VERY little under always loud WPHT.  Just occasional bits and 
pieces of vocal music, possibly CW.  That's it.  Better luck next time.  
Thanks to Paul Lotsoff for informing us of the test.

2010-01-15 Thread Patrick Martin
The info came from the CE for the test and I was in contact with Paul
Losoff during the period and KEVT did not sign on with the test for
hours later. Paul did not say exactly what time. I was at the dials
until nearly 0600 EST and I went to bed. The test did happen, but much
later.

Re: [IRCA] 1210 KEVT DX test

2007-12-18 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Finally went over the recordings on this test, but noonly ID's 
were from KGYN and CFYM, until KTBK Auburn faded back on top just 
before 0100 MST with EE call ID then many Ke Buena 
mentions.   Generally, it was a pretty open channel, however; not 
nearly as much KTBK as I'd expected.

Thanks to all you arranged the test.

[IRCA] 1210 KEVT DX test

2007-12-16 Thread Walter Salmaniw
In Victoria, this is going to be a bit harder, I'm afraid.  The dominant 
station is SS, KWMG in Au\burn, WA, and also cochannel is CFYM Kindersley, 
SK.  Without code or sweeps, I think this
might be near impossible...Walt in Victoria.

Walt, the station in Rocklin CA programs often in Japanese.  Think the calls 
are KEBR.  Religious station but usually the oriental nowdays since Sunnyside 
WA went back to 1230.
