Hi, Thanks to Tim Tromp for letting us know last night that CHHA was off. Mostly I just heard the Caribbean beacon, but the odd TIS/HAR showed up, including an unfamiliar one. The repeated loop was very short and unfortunately no callsign is given. The phrase "road conditions green" is

Probably Coast to Coast Russ. I believe they played Shine on you crazy diamond by Pink Floyd(my favorite band). Maybe that will narrow it down for you. Todd Skaine Bloomington MN On Jan 11, 2016 12:27 PM, "Russ Edmunds" wrote: > At 0005 there was an electric guitar solo version of the SSB ( poss

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Another unid during the WBOB test - SSB at 00:05

I believe the SSB Rendition Russ heard was the background music for a promo/ad for the 700 Club airing on WBOB. Separately I sent Russ a short clip with that ad. It began immediately after SRN News around 00:05EST. Tom Jasinski Joliet, IL .

[IRCA] Another unid during the WBOB test

At 0005 there was an electric guitar solo version of the SSB ( possibly the version from Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock ? ) behind WBOB's regular schedule audio. Did anyone catch this and ID it ? Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modified Sony ICF2010's (2) barefoot w/whip

Re: [IRCA] Audio file recording question

Or, download Total Recorder ( you can get a limited time limited function trial version ) at www.highcriteria.com. The ultimate license price is quite reasonable. I find TR easier to operate than Audacity, and TR comes with its own built-in scheduluer for use in setting up timed unattended recordin

Re: [IRCA] Cassettes and Reel-to-Reel Recordings

Les, I remember Herb Jepco. I used to listen to his show off KSL in the 1960s from Seward AK. I doubt I have any of it on old reel to reel tapes though, but I have not thought about the show in years. I remember "44" who used to call in that talked about sci fi and space travel. I miss a good

[IRCA] Audio file recording question

Since I updated my computer to Windows 7 a while back, I have lost track of how to record an audio file so I can attach it to an e mail. I tried on both the laptop and the desktop computers. Both have the Sound Recorder built into MS. I can bring it up and play a cassette or CD on the computer,

[IRCA] Cassettes and Reel-to-Reel Recordings

Speaking of DX’ers who have treasure troves of these types of recordings. I’ve long searched for an air check or even portion of a program for the “Herb Jepko Night Cap Show” which aired out of Salt Lake City. I remember it fondly, and have collected everything I can find on the show including

Re: [IRCA] WBOB Question

I did not know about the plan to use different power levels for the test. but after 12:30 or so the test was significantly weaker. There were also a few moments, 12:13, 12:14, when some sort of call-in program discussing Egyptian Copts burst in. These were not fade-ups, but a "toggle effect" fro

Re: [IRCA] WBOB Question

That's a possibility I hadn't considered, but given what I heard, that would fit, and the plan was that they would alternate power. Thanks- Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modified Sony ICF2010's (2) barefoot w/whip FM: Yamaha T-80 & T-85, each w/ Conrad RDS Decoder; Onkyo T-450RDS;

Re: [IRCA] not WBOB-600

I have reel recordings from the 1960's and 70's, and cassette backups as well, but I have nothing to play any of them on. I was able to get about 85-90% of them converted to mp3 files, but haven't yet completed separating them and cataloging them. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modi

Re: [IRCA] WBOB-600 - Patrick Martin

The test signed off at about 0208. They made an announcement 15 minutes prior that it would end in 15 minutes. The first test material I had on my recordings was 0008 ( I started recording at about 2350 ), so it's possible the test only ran for 2 hours. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM

Re: [IRCA] WBOB-600 - Patrick Martin

Patrick, I thought that way too long ago with both reel and cassette, however my mind quickly changed when a couple of times the tape didn't spool correctly and wound itself around the rollers. The only times I've had problems with Total Recorder are when I've done something myself to create them a

Re: [IRCA] WBOB Question

Russ, Early in the testing period it sounded like the test programming was covered by a strong OC. The Batchelor show would come back in place of the OC. I thought maybe WBOB had 2 transmitters on at the same time. Rob Keeney Goose Creek SC On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 12:20 PM, Russ Edmunds wrote
