John: A one-hop (up and down) satellite delay is about 250 ms since: - it's 22,500 miles up and 22,500 miles down for a total of 45,000 miles - speed of light is 186,000 miles per second So it's about 1/4 of a second delay, and I have no idea how the 450 ms echo was generated other than wild id

Estimado Senor Klemetz: I - like you - was assuming there are two stations and that one has a direct feed and the other has a delayed feed, possibly through two satellite hops. It seems unlikely such a long echo would happen with only one station - it would have to somehow be receiving two feeds

153 (not 155) is Algeria with Chaine 1 from Bechar. There's no one on 173 that I've seen reported, but I suspect you had the normal R.Mediterranee Internationale from Morocco on 171. Somehow it seems you have added an extra 2 KHz to the frequencies. Chuck -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Risto is right. When posts sent after mine  (Mark Connelly's) appeared but mine didn't, I assumed there was a hiccup in the HCDX server. But there was simply a busy admin and a queue of messages and somehow posts were out of order, so no problem.   Back to work (or DX), everyone!     Chuck

I don't know what machines are best / worst but would not count on any of them to be perfect. To compensate for the lack of perfection, I always use snap-together style ferrite chokes on all cables coming into and out of the laptop. Fair-Rite makes a few, and Radio Shack carries one, or a similar p

I'd modify the 1026 as per the info at http://www.w8ji.com/mfj-1025_1026.htm and see where that gets you. The design is certainly not optimum from a strong signal handling point of view, and these mods will help. Chuck Hutton -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROT

I think the mention of Fajardo is not related to Puerto Rico. As I hear it (bad ears and all), that segment says "y al cuerpo de enfermidad del hospital Fajardo". The Hospital Fajardo is the most famous in Cuba. The rest of the tape has (amongst other things) mentions of las mujeres de Sevilla, C

Since an antipodal path length is 12,500 miles and the error between the true antipode and the antipode proposed earlier by Mr. Giella is over 3,000 miles, I know I would not consider his example to be anywhere near antipodal. I don't know of any previous claims that antipodal effect extend that f

I could not agree more with Herman, and almost wrote the same thing. Every electronically-translated document I have ever seen was a piece of comedy. A better answer is to get a reception report form that has been translated by DXers. I know the National Radio Club ( www.nrcdxas.org ) has them in
