[IRCA] TP 5 Sep Victoria version

2016-09-05 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Definitely an Asian morning, but think that Colin had the edge on the actual receptions. Things seemed very splashy here, while the DX was peaking erratically, otherwise, not too strong. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB

Thanks, Rick. WCHS might be tough with WIBW to contend with, but KWOS isn't that much of a problem down here--and anyway, I'd be nulling it to try for WV. Randy Stewart Battlefield MO From: am-boun...@nrcdxas.org on behalf of Rick Dau

Randy, two come to mindWCHS-580 and WBES-950, both in Charleston. Problem you have at your location is that WIBW covers 580 fairly well at night, and KWOS in Jeff City is shooting a lobe almost right in your direction. But those are probably going to be your best bets. 73, Rick Dau

Even for a DX test, I don't think I have any audio files exceeding 2 mb. Most of mine are Less than 1 mb. For MW DX purposes it really doesn't gain anything to use. I usually record at 64kbit; 24kHz because I use the same recording jobs for FM as well. For AM, 32kbit, 12kHz ought to be enough.

I too like the idea of *short* MP3 clips. For a DX list, that's all that's needed. For longer, program files, like Paul likes to post, an alternative site works better. My favourite postings are those from a DXpedition accompanied by short MP3 clips. 73, Walt On Monday, September 5, 2016,
