[IRCA] WLFP - 1550

Hi All: Driving through the Pittsburgh area yesterday I noted no sign of WLFP, 1550, Braddock, PA.  However PennDOT was on 1560 w/continuous loop of travvel website info.  Still no WZUM-1590, Carnagie.  Everything else seemed normal.  WLFP was no more than a repeater anyway.  I wonder if it's

Very nice Guy. By 0530UT, 1566 was pretty much gone here, so maybe you are getting a better signal at your location. Now try 576, although that faded pretty rapidly after I'd reported it. The irony is that I don't recall these signals at a time of year when conventional TA reception

last night 1566 was very wispy carrier showing at 0350 ut June 26 using the 700' AF 60 deg wire. June 25th was better - fade in 0336 to f/out 0523, both well defined (only had the 30 deg 1100 wire that night). But still very weak and below audibility for even hearing a het. I will check for 576

Dennis, Your 5CC lp on 1584 is outstanding that far inland. I only heard it once back in the 80s and got a QSL, but even along the coast it is not common for me. But often some lp upper band DUs really skip. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

Hi Nick, That alternative Perseus software we discussed earlier reads out carrier measurements to four decimal places. I don't remember the exact, claimed accuracy at the moment, but I think it was 0.2 Hz. (after auto-calibration to a station 1000 kHz with a known accurate offset). 73, Guy

Good to have Dennis V's report--I didn't do nearly as well for good audio. His being just a little farther north must help too--all my signals gone by 1215 utc here. But I would say it was a pretty decent morning for me despite a local storm with S9+ static crashes the entire time (even worse

Thanks to all involved in making these recordings available to the DXing community. I've long wanted to explore the MW bands on the West Coast to hear first hand what Pacific DX sounds like---now it's no longer just a pipe dream. You have to love the Silver Age of MW DXing that we currently are

Hi Les, The Perseus SDR can indeed operate without the Perseus hardware connected, * but* the software needs to run at least once with an actual Perseus rig connected before stand-alone operation of the software is possible. However, I think a better alternative is to install the free HDSDR

Hi James, These large files are not typical audio recordings. They are specialized WAV files with encoding that represents a large swath of RF bandwidth. In this case, the files contain the medium wave band as heard by Dave Aichelman when he was visiting Hawaii with his Perseus SDR and antennas.
