Re: [IRCA] Ernest Cooper QSL collection
Does anyone know the fate of Ernie Cooper's amazing QSL collection? It would make a fascinating book or museum piece. I'd be very happy to post two or three dozen of those on the am-dx.com site, if possible. Ernie must have had some amazing QSLs. He had a meeting at his house probably in the late 70's. I vaguely remember looking at them. I *think* he also used to bring some books to Ray's GTG as well. Isn't there a museum in Maryland that may have that collection?

[IRCA] TP for 20 Dec from Victoria, BC
A much improved morning, and it sounds as if I need to start listening no later than 1400UT, as that's when much of the signal strength seems to occur, even if there is a slight sunrise lift on some signals (for example, this morning had 828, 774 and to a lesser degree, 747, signing off at fair strength at 1600UT. At the same time Tagalog was heard on 1512 which is quite unusual here. Listened on and off (mostly on) from 1415 to 1600UT. Might have been a good morning to have a Beverage on the coast. Our present outside temperatures limit the beverages to hot chocolate however. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 747 JOIB at 1447UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 189 R. Rossii; this seems to have good modulation, as was quite a bit stronger audio than 279 which had a stronger carrier 558 possibly JOCR, just music at its peak at 1441UT, so no language ID 567 JOIK //594 594 JOAK 648 Russia at various times 873 JOGB //774 (North Korea //3320 was also heard mixing with this after 1530UT) 954 JOKR w/JJ talk at 1542UT 972 HLCA 1512 DYAB? Tagalog talk at 1558, but in the murk by the top of the hour. 1566 HLAZ, usual big carrier 1575 VoA Thailand not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 153 R. Rossii 279 R. Rossii good carrier, poor audio 693 JOAB //774 at 1522 711 mx at 1425UT, likely S. Korea 837 //594, so possibly JOQK, though there is a lower powered Hokkaido station also; in addition, there was mx mixing in which may have been China? 918 echoey CC talk at 1507; probably two other stations also 945 CNR1 //5030 at 1523 1017 not //NHK2, possibly China 1044 two stations, one CRI //7190 1134 JOQR w/JJ talk 1143 at 1520UT; seemed to be CC sounding, so Taiwan? 1242 two stations here, one seemed to be JJ talk, so JOLF 1287 JOHR 1386 NHK2 synchros //828 Burbles in the splatter and noise: 180 657 w/hum likely N. Korea 711 846 two stations 864 1008 1053 1116 1179 1188 good carrier, poor audio 1323 good carrier Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1269, 1395, 1404, 1422 best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] QSL's posted
Doug, Thanks. Those old QSLs from the past are great to see. A lot of history out there. Maybe this will start a trend and we will get to view many old QSLs. I am a real history buff on QSLs anyway. So many stations don't even exist any longer. Yes, it would be great see some of Ernie's old QSLs. I never got a chance to see any of his. But I think some went back to the 1920s. I got view some of Hank Wilkinson's (Santa Rosa CA). I even saw an old KTOH (Territory of Hawaii) on 1490 with 250w. I did not hear and QSL them until 1965 when they moved to 1350 and boosted to 5 KW. The station now is on 570 (Lihue). But the history is fantastic. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Why has this been posted to the IRCA list like 5 times today? Because this is a DX list? Because this is the first DX test of the season?

Re: [IRCA] UNid'd help needed
Willis, I did actually think of KMFX, but I ruled it out for two reasons. 1.) It's a 100 percent pure simulcast of KMFX-FM and the liner I heard clearly made mention of only one station, by mentioning a frequency that I thought was an AM frequency. But, I could be wrong (as I've been known to be before) because the signal faded out right in the middle of the call letters and frequency being given. 2.) KMFX was supposedly off the air. However, if KMFX was hastily turned back on.. it might not have signed off on time. THanks very much for the suggestion Willis.. I'll delve a little deeper into it.

As per the test here is what I *think* I heard. At 0207 there was very defiantly CW. The QRM on channel was bad, and the CW weak. At 0211 heard CW again.

[IRCA] No sign of woon
No sign of WOON in central Fla during, at least, first 20 minutes. Cx to NE seem poor. Beacons WPHT in/out weakly under a loud Cuban, and WBBR in/out under messy 300 Hz loud het. WOWO 1190 poor, fady. I contend that repeated 5 minute, or even 1 minute tests, offer a better chance of hearing a station test, if you think that cx are so variable from night to night, than a long test that may happen on a poor morning, as this one apparently has done. The counter argument of course is that time the DXer can dedicate to that effort. Unless the DXer has a SDR. Absence of many early reports here is not a good sign. I tried tuning up to 1242 to peak up any audible CW but no luck. If they had run 3000 Hz or even 5000 Hz CW IDs I could try for that with BFO on (by tuning 1243, 1245 etc in CW mode) but there seems to be inertia to having such IDs included in DX tests. I'd like to see IDs at 600, 1000, and 3000 Hz. If I was not hearing the first ones (in AM mode) I could try the higher pitched ones in CW mode. - Bob Foxworth ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] UNid'd help needed
Blaine, The thing is.. the calls I heard didn't sound remotely like KKOJ. I pulled up Radio-Dislocator and had it sort by call letters and tried looking for sound alikes just doesn't fit it. I'm investigating further. Paul On 12/21/08, Blaine Thompson bla...@well.com wrote: On Sun, 21 Dec 2008, Paul B.

[IRCA] New Station KCVL 1240
-- Good Morning: A new station heard while trying for the WOON 1240 test. KCVL pop in with a call letter ID at 0729. Seems they were the station with CTC. Colville WA is 298 miles for here as the crow flies. Un-id C W station also heard.
