I put a check in the mail today to Universal for the Microtelecom Perseus SDR receiver. I still need to choose a portable computer, among the ideas listed on Five Below, plus additional storage ... and a number of different antenna configurations. Any experimentation I do will be of the haphazar

Re: [IRCA] July 26th Grayland ULR DXpedition-- Aussies Boom In

Hi Derek, Thanks for your comments, but I have a long way to go before being anything like a "GO-DX." It does feel neat to design a little trick like a collapsible-frame PVC Loop, however, which suddenly makes a $40 homebrew antenna turn into a seriously sensitive TP-chaser on an ocean be

[IRCA] Finally a NEW Log on ULR....540 WETC Wendell-Zebulon, NC 500 Watts Nights!! ULR # 669 Heard.

Two words. Great job! I've been listening to the 531 clip all day.. I hope I get the chance to meet you or some of the other GO-DX ((giants of DX)) at grayland this season. Keep up the goodwork and get that info on the monster loops so I can increase the population of loops down here!

Re: [IRCA] Kchibo D96L DSP Ultralight Received

Ditto, Gary! I spoke with my wife during my lunch hour today, and she said a strange package from China arrived (my luck with spousal absenteeism when radios arrive apparently isn't as good as Kevin S., who has a perfect track record so far :^) Rochelle mentioned that on a customs slip on the pack

[IRCA] Kchibo D96L DSP Ultralight Received

Hello All, After an 8-day shipping delay, my Kchibo D96L ordered from the Chinese seller (through ecrater.com) arrived today for initial testing. This source, discovered by Guy Atkins, was the primary outlet for orders recently. Since many other ULR group purchasers apparently ordered the r

[IRCA] July 26th Grayland ULR DXpedition-- Aussies Boom In

Hello All, Thanks to the Victoria DXers (and their comments about the relative desirability of Grayland as a DXpedition site), it was with a newfound appreciation that I started the 2 hour drive to the Grayland Motel's Room 14 on Saturday afternoon. When the 93 degree inland heat gradually

[IRCA] TP DX signs 28 July

my main antennas are down due to a reroofing job on the house, but the little ALA100 is still in action. 279 noted with weak audio around 1200UT as was 774, presumed to be JOUB due to direction. At 1230UT, 702, 774 and 1575 had weak DU sounding audio, and quite a number of carriers were noted

Re: [IRCA] Interesting low power station in

That is pretty much what I found on the internet. I was wondering if I had missed something. Did this station ever have call letters? Although it was broadcasting as a TIS, the license was not for a normal TIS. I wonder why. Bill Harms Paul B. Walker, Jr. wrote: I don't see any call lette

Re: [IRCA] Vintage receiving station with loops

Bob, Thanks Bob for the information on the Navy's Shaggs Island receiving station.  The history of the base is very interesting and you did a great research job in finding the website.  I believe the Navy has a huge antenna near the VOA site in Dixon, California.  A small naval site w
