Re: [IRCA] SDR-IQ

The RFSpace radios don't seem to like high impedance antennas directly connected to the antenna terminal Phil. If you have a Beverage matching transformer handy (for those DXpeditions?) you could try using that to get something closer to the 50 ohms the SDR-IQ is looking for. Of course, if

[IRCA] Mexican music on 830 tonight maybe be Norco LA?

It's too stable IMO to be Mexico, given that nothing else from Mexico is in (at least, yet) with any strength or consistency. My bet is Norco LA, unless some other domestic airs Mexican music. The ID is supposed to be Fabulosa, and I have an ID on tape but I'm not yet certain I've caught the sl

I have recently acquired a SDR-IQ digital wonder radio. Right now, I'm in the "playing with" stage... seems to need a bigger antenna than 30' strung around the house. Any ideas/tips on operation or antenna welcome.   Phil Bytheway IRCA Bookstore Seattle WA Drake R-7 / KIWA Loop __

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Loggings and unIDs from early this morning at Burnt River ON

Some of these have been IDed by others at the WTFDA site but anyhow. 620 is XENK 1190 I hear "estado de Mexico" I strongly suspect a major network and XEWK, someone more fluent may be sure. 1190 C&W is clear KQQZ 790 it sounds like a 3 trece y media mention (3:30) but my SS isn't good enough

[IRCA] Loggings and unIDs from early this morning at Burnt River ON

AM's been pretty hot the few times I've checked, and this week was no exception, dusting off my AOR 7030 Plus and Quantum Loop for their first serious run at the 2011-12 season. (I'll get the wires out later this weekend, want to re-lay some of them). Woke up at 0500 - times are all EDT - thi

Dennis, Doing a google search for "WPVS690" produces a post of yours form 2005 on this list with the location of the transmitter being, "ation is located at Exit 14 on Interstate 5. Antenna is on the North bound exit between off ramp and Highway. " Paul On Sat, Sep 10, 2011 at 12:54 PM, Dennis

[IRCA] WPVS 690 530 kHz

Local HARs station WPVS 690 broadcasting on 530 kHz in Ridgefield, WA has dropped it's NOAA  weather report.  Now they are broadcasting a loop "You are listening to WPVS 690 broadcasting on 530 AM" I have notice this for the last couple of days.  WQBQ 728 540 kHz is broadcasting road delays on U

KATZ's IBOC hiss is a real nuisance here in SW Missouri too. I can kinda-sorta null KATZ's crud to hear the Canadian on 1610, but I believe there's ALSO HD Radio noise emanating from 1620...? Randy Stewart Arts Producer KSMU 901 S. National Springfield MO 65897 =

[IRCA] TP for 10Sep2011 from Victoria: difficult!

Not an easy morning to monitor due to the disturbed solar conditions. SF was 112, A index 24, and K (at 12:00) 4. Moderate blackouts occurred during the last 24 hours, and minor blackouts forecast for the next 24. I monitored between 13:08 and 13:45 UTC. Of great interest was using Nick Hall-Pa

[IRCA] TP's & DU's for 09/10/11

Late start this morning starting at 1319.  Russian long-waves gone by then.   Heard the  Australian station that broadcasts the Horsing results and calls on 891.  Heard one race call before the fair signal dropped to weak.   594    Japan, JOAK NHK1 1319 fair with splatter and man in Japanese. 6

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Saturday

Nothing for LWBC due to the high solar activity, and little for LF beacons, so an earlier check of MW. DU coming in early; lower band filled with hets. 891 with two DU stations at 1300 utc, for any with audio then. Later, 594, 702, 738, 774, 891, 1116 all DU. 891 as usual the last to fade away,

[IRCA] Friday morning TP DX

I'm a bit late getting this report out due to work and other activities, but I had pretty good luck this morning (or yesterday morning depending on when you read this message). There were many carriers visible on the radio's display but most were only 5-10 db above the noise and not producin
