Anybody can handle an MP3 file. If you gave them SHN, APE or FLAC, they may be at a loss. Everybody does MP3...even the cat next door.

I have never had such clear reception of an Alaskan station -- my luck and style I guess. I am particularly proud of this segment. There was a report on another list that the HAARP site in Alaska ran and created an ionospheric enhancement. I wonder if this is a result of that? Supposedly happened from the Gakona, AK site on 04 Oct.

Re: [IRCA] MP3 of KYUK 640Khz - staggering quality
Wow, some amazing reception! how much do these Etons cost? LOL I have had reception like this on old DX440's from Radio Shack, ATS-803's, Drake R8 and modified E100's You can buy an E100 for $50 now and add a bigger ferrite to it or couple it to a loop. The E1 retails for around $499 (maybe less) and the benefit is: It has very good BW choices down to 2.3khz with Passband tuning that works fairly well in AM and Sync mode (although it is not true blue PB Tuning like the Drake) and you can select the sideband. In the case of most Alaskan receptions from the West Coast, any radio could hear it - because it was utterly in the clear after KFI dropped into its sunrise. Alaskans and Hawaiians have always been my weak spot with DXing. I do not think I have heard a Hawaiian on the west coast since 1976. According to DX-Guru, Patrick Martin, they do not get out as well as they used to. -- ..
