Re: [IRCA] Ultralight Radio TP DX... Tossing the Ferrite gauntlet!

OK Colin, I'll be ready to defend my Ultralight Radio TP DX title! But Dennis may put us both to shame... Shame, there will be none. Wires, short they will be, yes. Barefoot, my ULRs be they largely will. Point, there is none - Up against a Grayland, compare we must not. I will be

Re: [IRCA] South Pacific carriers

Just to jump in here on this walk down memory lane - one of my regulars from early DX from Indiana was KCA999 the New Hampshire State Police in Concord. They transmitted on 1682 kHz in AM mode. And thankfully I have a QSL from them dated 1968. Yes indeed, the good old days. Jim Pogue Memphis, TN

Re: [IRCA] Ultralight Radio TP DX... Tossing the Ferrite gauntlet!

Fellow Utralight Radio Users, Have my stable of Sony Utralights ready for Grayland. Two days, maybe three. 3 SRF-59s one peaked, 1 SRF M35V 1 SRF M85V. I also have a Sangean DT200V somewhere, will take it too if I can find it. It's about 3 years old. Plenty of batteries and will start a new

Colin, The only thing connected to the two 600-800' beverages will be the JRC-545. I might take along the Space Magnet antenna, but leaving home the Kiwa loops. It's much more fun being barefoot when at the beach. Dennis, Salmon Creek, WA -- Original message --

[IRCA] 1360 Consolation Prize

No KKMO here last night, but recording 1360 turned out to be rewarding anyway. Checking some recordings made after the KKMO test, at 0730 (a few minutes before LSR) I found a nice ID from KKBJ in Bemidji MN. Not nearly as far as KKMO (917 miles vs 2193 miles for KKMO), but it's a new

Re: [IRCA] South Pacific carriers

Jim, Yes, I sure remember the coast to coast TIS reception too. I QSL'd quite a few. I guess we were there at the right time. I wish the TIS stations would move up between 1700-1800 khz. We could have our heyday back. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager

Re: [IRCA] South Pacific carriers

Dennis, I don't remember the LAPD one, but I did get a lot of coast to coast TIS stations. Some that come to mind Pennsylvania HAR in Allentown on 1630, JFK 1700, VA on 1620, etc. Those were great times. Back in the great DU days, I used to get Hawaii by 8 or 9 PM (PT), around LSS in Hawaii.

[IRCA] TA's

Well, given the numbers today we certainly didn't expect any TA's tonight, but once again the Russian on 1215 has come through with audio. Other than momentary traces on 1179 Sweden and 1134 Croatia that's been it for audio. Lots of carriers though, including multiple ones on several
