[IRCA] MN 0220 UTC audio on 891!

Man speaking in possible Arabic (not quite sure). Only other TA audio noted was from Spain (a few) & possibly France (on 1206). At least 20dB weaker than the very strong WLS. Using Eton E1 USB mode, no sync, 2.3 KHz filter (with pass band tuning set to -0.5 KHz?!) + 8" Quantum loop. Believe this

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 9-19

Hi Walt, My home location is quite poor for DU's, and most of the stations reported by you, Nick and Colin never come up to audio. Puyallup has a large hill to the southwest, which obviously absorbs much of the DU signal for Guy and me. The northwest direction is wide open here, th

[IRCA] Final Day in Kenai

Hi all: I had about an hour, well before LSR, to get in some final DXing in Kenai before heading out. While it was warmer and drier, the DX was definitely not as good as the first two days. VOA on 1575 was almost listenable on the barefoot Eton e100, and HLAZ-1566 was blaring in as usual, but go

I think i have one of the 38 series hanging around somewhere at my parents house, it's performance is certainly underwhelming, it needs work also and I hate AC-DC sets. Got one of my first shocks of my life as a kid working on (well ruining it probably) my father's AC-DC Motorola radio, surpris

Hello Guys, Thanks to Jay and Russ for their comments on the ICF-S5W. As probably the top fanatic on the ICF-S5W, I thought you guys might like to hear a little of its history. The Japanese-market version, the ICF-S5, was introduced in Japan in October of 1979-- and was immedi

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 antenn

Those are the red or pink molded caps. Bad when made like the black ones. There also were green ones. It was an attempt to make better caps than paper ones and it was an instant failure. I have a S-38C with those red caps. It works for a second and then quits. Now the filter cap is bad so I have
