[IRCA] TP 9 Dec Victoria version

2017-12-09 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Substantially poorer conditions today. A touch more DU, but it was mostly the collapse of Asian signals that defined it. And, who knows why? pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not very likely Reasonable audio at times during the

Hi Guy, Thanks for posting your initial impressions on the CC Skywave SSB model, and I'm happy that the new radio is meeting your expectations. <<< On weak daytime signals its almost as good as the 909X and Satellit Exec but falls behind on the weakest of the MW signals... that's expected

The NZ Radio DX League's Bryan Clark located ~100km north of Auckland asks the same question? He had been registering Kiribati's tx slightly offset to the low side of 846, along with someone exactly on 846.00 -- which he presumed to be Newstalk ZB from Masterton/Waingawa down near Wellington.

   Since I've been trying to hear Kiribati on 846 over the past couple of weeks I've always had a good carrier from 0530ish until when it goes off at variable times around 1000 UT. Last night I didn't hear a trace of it all night.   Conditions wouldn't seemed to have changed enough to

I received my *Skywave SSB* yesterday... it's a nice unit! The packaging and accessories make a good impression too. I like it better than the original Skywave for sure. On weak daytime signals its almost as good as the 909X and Satellit Exec but falls behind on the weakest of the MW signals...

Then you may not need a transformer. If you can record on the recorder with just a cable now, that shouldn't change. It should actually be less effort to install a new jack as it wouldn't involve undoing the existing wiring. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM:

My vision is not as sharp as it once was for fine electronic work. I can still do it, but I need some bi-focal I presume. I will get my eyes checked this coming year as at 70 (2019) I will need to get my DL renewed. I will look into that then. I still do not need glasses to drive, but it is

I would just want to record with my old cassette deck Russ. I may take the radio into a shop in Portland to have it done. I do see a mini jax on the back that has audio in for an MP3 player. That jax should be able to be used. I do not need audio in anyway. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL
