You really need to go with something that's made for MW dx..doesn't need a lot of room. My current favourite is the ALA 100 from Wellbrook. Check out some of the loggings from Colin N. who lives way up high in an apartment. He has a couple of ALAs. Another option is to construct a box loopthose have been around for close to a 100 years, and still work wonders. All sorts of commercial loops, etc also available. 50' of wire is fine for SW, but woefully inadequate for distant MW dxWalt ___ 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] 738 Tahiti audible now
Hi Walt, I "rewound the tape" on Pereus to 0616 from last night's SDR recordings, and found RFO Tahiti exactly as you described. From 0630-0637 though, they were doing quite a bit better, with presumed news items in French. I've just finished my first of four nights "babysitting" John B's antennas from his Orcas Island home while he and his wife are exploring Peru. Since I have a preliminary release of ver. 1.1C of Perseus that can record all of medium wave, my plan is to record the band continuously from 0530 - 1505 UTC, with an antenna change from the Aussie-beam Super Conti Loop at 1030 UTC to the NW Wellbrook Phased Array (I gotta get up out of bed for the antenna switch...it ain't automated yet :^) I had the receiver recording from 200 kHz to 1800 kHz last night, but this evening I think I will set it for 100 kHz - 1700 MHz to capture more of longwave. My plan is to review the previous night's recordings, at least for the highlights, during the day, and dig in deeper into the DX over the weeks ahead. More details will probably make their way onto my blog. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA USA DXing from Orcas Island www.perseus-sdr.blogspot.com --- Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:18:13 -0700 From: Walter Salmaniw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [IRCA] 738 Tahiti audible now To: IRCA@hard-core-dx.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Quite a strong carrier, and the usual weak modulation from RFO Tahiti at 06:16 UTC tonight..Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC ___ 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
