Re: [IRCA] Current NW rain and wind

I almost never lose power, even during the worst of windstorms. Today, however, it was out for 5 hours. I did a brief bandscan on the Tecsun - the locals stayed on except possibly 1230 and 1400. Bruce On 3/13/2016 9:12 PM, Pete Taylor wrote: Pretty blustery here in Tacoma this afternoon but

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 13 March 2016

Fair-good audio from HLAZ 1566 and VOA 1575 was already coming in when I started at 1325, but that was about it. No sunrise enhancement noted. Not a lot of inspiring carriers, and the lower band was downright dead. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Perseus SDR & Wellbrook Phased Array

Re: [IRCA] Current NW rain and wind

Pretty blustery here in Tacoma this afternoon but it has calmed down considerably. A semi got blown over on he Narrows Bridge. My wife drove over to Bellevue but came back rather quickly lest the bridge closed before she returned. A few blinks earlier but no power outages for us. Apparently

[IRCA] Best portable and Ultralight Radios for Domestic DXing?

--- Begin Message --- Until someone comes up with a portable radio whose antenna pick-up pattern is cardioid instead of figure-of-8 (or switchable between those two choices), these radios are not a serious game player here in the New England states. NYC is opposite to TA's we want to hear.

Re: [IRCA] Current NW rain and wind

After our monster storm last week with 90+ MPH winds, we lucked out here with gusts of 52 MPH, but it is pretty much gone. Cloudy now with only showers and light winds. I heard the winds were going to be stronger to the North. I hope you do not have any damage. (Hopefully) later in the week

Hi Gary: Wenatchee is about 77 degrees and Seoul about 310. So why not just null KPQ? That puts Seoul very close to the peak of the antenna. Chuck From: IRCA on behalf of d1028g...@comcast.net

Hi Nick,   <<<   Do you receive HLQH-558 particularly at your location?   I've been finding this season that HLQH is usually considerably more readable than HLSA-603 here, as if the latter is undermodulated.   I don't think there is a new noise source around 600kHz drowning it out.   >>>
