Re: [IRCA] TP's & DU's for Monday, July 29, 2013

Hi Gary, thank you, likewise for me to meet you. Actually I just suggested that Fiji may be inactive, because there wasn't even a carrier there. I can confirm Tonga's sign-off at 12:04.30 on 25th, when you heard it. It was on 1017.008 kHz. I have compared some of your receptions with the ones

[IRCA] Déjà Vu DXpedition 2013

In parallel with Gary DeBock's annual visit to the cliffs of Oregon another group of DXers gathered near Yachats, OR from July 22-25 to use more traditional 'wire' antennas -- mostly a 140 foot DKAZ with main lobe at approximately 255 degrees. Similar set-ups were also running at the famous Gra

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for Tonga?

I have the same experience during 10-15 years of using WWV/WWVH carrier as reference here in Finland: the shift caused by Doppler shift or spread by propagation is exaggerated. I often see it spread a bit, but it looks like being symmetrical, so there isn't any problem to see the centre anyway.

Re: [IRCA] HARD COPY

It does mean the paper copy. The IRCA will now be publishing the DX Monitor as an electronic version only, starting with Volume 51. For those of you reluctant to switch over to the Soft DX Monitor, they certainly take up much less room than paper copies! I have archived the last 17 years of

Hi, Rick-- I am not sure at this point whether I will be able to make your GTG. Nina's family lives in Springfield, so if I go I will stay there and slip over to Urbana for the day. However, if she has no business there for that day, and especially if she has to be there a week or two before or

Re: [IRCA] Rockwork 4 DXpedition-- Top Ten Signals from the South Pacific

Gary, Your recordings from the Rockworks cliff are amazing! It's hard for me to believe I was DXing at another Kiwi DX producing cliff to the south of you on one of the same mornings, yet all my reception with the same 12-inch FSL design was low-level and poor S/N ratio. The capacitor-tuned, singl

I have heard Kiwi's and Aussies at this level in the Hawaiian Islands... rarely... more often in 2009 and 2010 -- the last 3 trips as we approached sunspot peak have been lame - That said, these signals are awesome! Well done. Also sounds like a superb morning in Tofino on Vancouver Island. On Tu

Hi Mauno, Well, meeting you, Vlad and Victor (and of course, Bill) on Thursday was one of the highlights of my DXpedition, and I really enjoyed having lunch with you all right on the beach! <<< Actually I just suggested that Fiji may be inactive, because there wasn't even a carrier there.

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for 1017 Tonga?

Yes, as Jaguar has used that public offset list as basis for its internal list, hopefully that list will also be made public every now and then, when entries are added there or they would be added automatically to the mwoffsets database. I don't mind if the fourth decimal isn't exact ;-) 73,

As far as I know, Günter Lorenz compiles the list alone so he can't search all the MW mailing lists for offsets. The easiest for him would be to add them in the log database of mwlist.org or send them via mwoffsets Yahoo list or directly to him. Mauno 27.7.2013 23:37, Chuck kirjoitti: Getting

Re: [IRCA] Rockwork 4 DXpedition-- Top Ten Signals from the South Pacific

Gary: I am not convinced one way or the other as to whether the broadbanding is a problem. Guy Atkins found the tuned and broadband versions to be about equal during tests at home in Puyallup. While the broadband FSL didn't give us good DX at Cape Perpetua, neither did the DKAZ nor my 14'

Re: [IRCA] Updated frequency offset for Tonga?

I'll have to look again as to the reasoning for using higher frequencies for a reference.I thought that with the SDRs, it no longer made much of a difference, i.e. that an error of 1 Hertz at, say 21MHz, was the same as an error of 1 Hertz at 1MHz. I'm sure that folks who have been paying

[IRCA] TP 31 Jul; Victoria version

My first thought was that it was a stinker of a morning, few and weak carriers, yet, every once in awhile, one of them would rise out of the murk to near audibility. A tentative Trackside/Livesport/TAB TV on 828 was quite a surprise, though maybe 3GI reports from the track from time to time?
