[IRCA] TP 11 July Victoria version

Some hints of Asia again, followed by a few DU carriers pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): no Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):

Re: [IRCA] Propagation.

Colin, If you can spare CDN$110.00, I strongly recommend the WSPLite from SotaBeams. It's a complete solution, no computer, and no radio required. http://www.sotabeams.co.uk/wsprlite Regards, Vince Ottawa, ON >>>I'm going to tool up WSPR monitoring and maybe put up a beacon as >>>well on

[IRCA] Propagation 2.

The July issue of CQ magazine has an article titled 'Oceanic Wave Height as a Variable in Predicting HF Propagation'. It's based on N1DAY analysis of reception reports from his WSPR beacon on the 160M ham band. Regards, Vince Ottawa, ON ___ IRCA

I'm going to tool up WSPR monitoring and maybe put up a beacon as well on the West Coast. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC > On Jul 11, 2017, at 5:50 PM, DXer wrote: > > Nick, > > An FYI, on 20M, propagation is improving. After reports of only

[IRCA] Propagation.

Nick, An FYI, on 20M, propagation is improving. After reports of only 800-1000 km, I now have a number of reports from the UK, 5000+ km. Is Don Moman on the list? I would like to confirm that he has 2 receivers monitoring WSPR on 20M. I see reports on 2 different frequencies, with different

Look for Faroe Islands 531 during the day. It was in all day in northern Scotland back in May and June. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 6:28 PM, Theo wrote: > May 2016? > > I'm surprised you didn't notice RUV testing on 666 with 1kW from the > outskirts of

Re: [IRCA] Looking for Iceland cliff recomendations

May 2016? I'm surprised you didn't notice RUV testing on 666 with 1kW from the outskirts of Reykjavik... pretty sure Nigel Pimblett from Alberta had them that month... and had both he and myself (in late August) mystified at the non-stop music. Theo Burnaby, BC On 7/11/2017 1:19 PM, Pete

Re: [IRCA] Looking for Iceland cliff recomendations

I was in Reykjavik in May of last year and with a bare Radio Shack 398 from a hotel room, all I heard on AM was Scotland-810. I am sure, while driving around at midnight, you will get some interesting stuff. Pete Taylor Tacoma, WA 12225w 4719n HQ180 & ICF2010 Kiwa aircore & Palomar loops DX398,

Re: [IRCA] TP 10 July Victoria version

Every little bit counts when trying to understand propagation Vince.Thanks for pointing that out. Long-distance MW certainly seemed dead at that time. This morning (11 July) looked a little better at first glance, but will have to see what the SDR files actually sound like. best

Re: [IRCA] TP 10 July Victoria version

Should have mentioned that the beacon nominal output power is 100 mW. The effective power is surely less, as the signal currently has to go through 4 adaptors (sma/bnc/pl), then an antenna tuner, to a multi-band vertical. On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 11:30 AM, DXer wrote: > Hi

Hi Nick, Unrelated, I know. I'm running a WSPR beacon 24/7 on the 20M band - unless I'm on the air - and there were times in the last 24 hours that I thought the beacon had died. There were no reception reports for hours sometimes. The average reception in the last 24 hours is from 800 km. Last
