Bill, Same here with 100 mw reception, but not hundreds of miles. 1710 is too strong for that. They have to be using a few watts anyway. Maybe a pair of 10 watt TIS transmitterss as those can be purchased. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___

I have a talking house transmitter on the 2nd floor of a house, with the wire hanging out the window and going down.. i get about 1/4 mile in the car. I wouldnt be surprised to see Radio MV on 1710Khz using a 30 watt or 60 Watt LPB, Inc TIS type transmitter. Paul Walker On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 4

Pat, In the case of my 1630 Talking house, I was using my truck's radio. I can hear something at a mile or so with the engine turned off, but I have co-channel interference from Maryland DOT TISs and the audio was difficult to pull out. I have heard talking houses at a range of 3 to 5 miles a

Dennis, I have the NE EWE pretty much aimed right at them. They are better on the NE EWE than anything else. I get them on the NW EWE, but much weaker. Since my neighbors moved, I no longer have noise issues with their light dimmers either. My noise level is now about zip, except for atmospheric n

Dennis, I have heard the 1710 carrier during the day here. At least that is what I think it is, no audio though. Barely above the receiver noise. At night 1710 is there all of the time. The signal varies, but always present after dark. Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _

Bill, Russian 1710 could be operating with less than 5 watts as I have heard and QSL'd few TIS types under that. A 1 watter from San Diego, a 2 watter from Sacramento and another 2 watter from SLC, plus a 3.5 watter from Central Texas. But they can't be 1/10 watt though. Patrick Patrick Marti

I operate an "out-of-the-box" Part 15 station on 1630 kHz (Talking House) here at home and with the antenna fully tuned up, I am lucky to get 1/4 mile at the listed 100 mW. It seems to me that our little friend on 1710 is at least 5 to 10 watts (maybe more). Bill Patrick Martin wrote: Pete,

Pete, I would be very surprised if 1710 is legal. 1/10th of a watt just does not get out that well. Plus the vertical antenna is too high for a part 15 station. Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http:
