Re: [IRCA] ICF-S5W Slider Loopstick Transplant is... a DUD
Hi Kevin, Thanks for your comments. One of the reasons why this loopstick experimentation (both Slider and monster composite bars) is so fascinating is that you never really know what will happen, until you transplant your fanatical creations into a new radio design. You can have a phenomenal technical breakthrough (like the slider E100's and slider DT-200VX), or the biggest technical dud in recent history, like the ICF-S5W. Although I've never been to a casino, the feelings of anticipation must be about the same. The ICF-S5W's stock loopstick is 6 1/4 x 3/8, so it's pretty close to the transplant size (that is, not a huge difference like the E100, or DT-200VX). The ICF-S5W is completely unimpressed by the Slider function, with all frequencies optimized within about 1/10 inch, and changing mostly in audio, not signal strength. Having performed about 15 alignments on the ICF-S5 (W) series radios, I was kind of worried this might happen, since peaking the coil on 600 kHz was mainly an audio judgement call, and not a sharp signal strength peak. The best Slider results are obtained when an alignment shows a razor-sharp peak on the 600 kHz weak station (i.e. the E100, DT-200VX, and C.Crane SWP turkey units), making a sliding coil system critical in spreading out the sensitivity over the entire AM band. The ICF-S5W's stock 455 kHz IF filter is not bad for the basic portable genre, and it can be replaced by the Murata CFJ455K5 premium filter for razor-sharp selectivity (at the expense of its great audio fidelity, however). But an analog radio like the ICF-S5W is never going to be the first choice of transoceanic DXers, no matter how selective. A Slider E100 will run circles around it, because of the digital tuning and memories. The ICF-2010 and ICF-SW7600GR stock portables both have fixed loopstick coil systems, and cannot accept a Slider system. Both of them respond well to larger, composite ferrite bars, however (the 30 loopstick ICF-2010 is King of the Hill here). Anyway, loopstick experimentation is a fun way to spend the Puget Sound deep freeze :) 73, Gary In a message dated 12/21/2008 11:05:53 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, sa...@sounddsl.com writes: Hey Gary: Thanks for delving into this project, even though the results were less than exhilarating. Your experimentation is a big part of what makes this hobby keep growing! Does the Amidon version benefit at all from being able to tweak the position of the sliding coil, or is the stock unit well-matched to the stock ferrite antenna up down the band? I think you had mentioned before that the filters in the S5W were not able to be changed out, so perhaps the S5W is as good as it will ever be. The engineers at Sony probably never guessed that something like the Slider e100 would make the sensitivity and selectivity on the S5W seemjust OK. Praying the power stays on - Kevin Hello Guys, Not every loopstick transplant is amazingly successful-- some are a lesson in humility. After carefully creating a 7.5 Amidon ferrite bar loopstick wound with 40/44 Litz wire matching the ICF-S5W stock inductances (on two coils), and painstakingly threading the four Litz wires through a tiny hole so they wouldn't snarl the dial string, the net result was exactly the same sensitivity as the stock unit! With amazing successes in the E100 and DT-200VX Ulttralights, the overconfident transplant tech was probably in need of a lesson in humility, and it certainly was delivered-- big time. So now it's back to refining the E100 and DT-200VX Slider radios, both of which have managed to thrill everyone who has tried them. With a deep freeze here, there should be time enough for many fanatical technical projects. 73, Gary DeBock **One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.

Pete and the rest: According to my very old (1970s) NRC pattern book, CJCA's night pattern has a large main lobe north and a small lobe to the southwest, with very little power in other directions. They may be moving the tx south as a way of improving night coverage in the city. I forwarded Dean's post to a former IRCA member in Edmonton, who's already looking into it.

[IRCA] Help needed with an unid
Hi Everyone: I sat on 1460 last night for some time and at 23:00MST (01:00EST or 06:00UTC) I heard a religious station. Right at the TOH a male voice gave the local time as 1.00am and gave out an ID which for the life of me I just cannot get, even tho I've been over the recording many times. This was followed by a female voice which said I was listening to: Global Catholic Radio Network or something like that. According to my NRC log book there are many religious stations on 1460 but none that fit the syllables I heard. I have a 30 second audio clip in wav format I could send to anyone interesting in helping me. It has to be in wav format as I have yet to figure out how to convert it over to a mp3 format. All was not lost as the session did produce one new one as I heard several clear IDs for KKAQ Thief River Falls, MN. This was at 06:00 and again at 07:00MST.

Re: [IRCA] Help needed with an unid
Thanks Mike for the suggestion. I checked it out and it lists 3 stations on 1460, and 2 of these are in the eastern time zone, WZNZ Jacksonville FL and WHIC Rochester NY. I also listened to my recording maybe 6 times again and I cannot get either of those 2 call signs or cities out of it. So I still dunno what I was listening to.

Re: [IRCA] Help needed with an unid
Mike- You asked for help for the following. This was followed by a female voice which said I was listening to: Global Catholic Radio Network or something like that. According to my NRC log book there are many religious stations on 1460 but none that fit the syllables I heard. I have a 30 second audio clip in wav format I could send to anyone interesting in helping me. It has to be in wav format as I have yet to figure out how to convert it over to a mp3 format. Here is a list of known EWTN stations on 1460 in North America. 1460 WMCJ CULLMAN AL 5000 500 DA-N RELIGION EWTN EX-WFMH 1460 WZNZ JACKSONVILLE FL 15000 5000 DA-N RELIGION EWTN EX-WZZN 1460 KHOJ ST. CHARLES MO 5000 - DA-D RELIGION EWTN //WRYT-1080 1460 WHIC ROCHESTER NY 3700 5000 DA-N RELIGION EWTN EX-WWWG 1460 My guess would be Alabama or Missouri. The Missouri station could have been on day power. This is only a guess.
