Re: [IRCA] Reminder - Ireland DX test tonight
For those recording on Perseus and suchlike I measure the carrier of R North at pretty much 846.000 with the morse tone at around 846.547 (listening to the morse recording 0500:20 to 0500:50 UTC). ...now for WHYL which will be tougher since I've moved the antenna round towards the SW for LA.

Re: [IRCA] Reminder - Ireland DX test tonight
Thx for the reminder. This station gets out decently for 1kW. It is rather easy in Nfld and at least 1 DXer in New England has heard it if I recall. I had about 45 seconds of English Contempory Christian music on this channel back one evening in late December from my WI site which is lots better for TA's than here in IL, and presume it was from Radio North. 846 is wide open with Rome usually gone. However, TA cx are starting their springtime big dive. 73 KAZ - Original Message - From: Paul Crankshaw pa...@omne.uk.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 7:08 PM Subject: [IRCA] Reminder - Ireland DX test tonight Radio North, Redcastle, County Donegal, Ireland will be making test transmissions tonight on 846 kHz The test runs from 0200 - 0600 UTC inclusive, and will carry CW around 800hz, as well as voice ids every 30m, on the hour and on the half hour.

Re: [IRCA] Reminder - Ireland DX test tonight
A shame you don't have Ireland mixing in on 549, that would be a good sign. I will check for 846 (hooking up TA wires) on my way in from the WHYL test in a few minutes, but I expect nothing in these cx. When TA cx have been superb here in IL, I have had weak 846 carriers and with Rome off. But I doubt anyone outside of guys on the coast have a chance at 846 in these cx. 73 KAZ - Original Message - From: Barry McLarnon b...@bdmcomm.ca To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Reminder - Ireland DX test tonight On Saturday 14 March 2009 23:23, Neil Kazaross wrote: You're doing better for TA's than here in IL where they have been poor for a week. 73 KAZ Current K index of 3 is seldom a good sign.
