Re: [IRCA] IRCs
Jim, It looks like whoever told you that the USPS no longer sells IRCs is wrong. http://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2012/pb22329/html/info_003.htm You may have to ask the post office you deal with to order some for you.

Re: [IRCA] IRCs
Bill, You should have kept searching... http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immc3_020.htm They stopped selling them one year later. The internet made them (for the most part) obsolete.

[IRCA] Last night TA loggings
I was rather surprised to observe that my 35° Beverage was still delivering at this time of the year as shown next by using Visual Logbook, with stations from Iran and Romania among others: http://www.mwlist.org/mw_logmap.php?sort=datum=2014-04-29band=ALL These days, I would normally rely almost exclusively on the 55° wire which isn't as quiet as my 1500 ft aimed at 35° however. Saudi Arabia also came in on 855, 999 and 1089 which makes me remember a bit of that rush of Saudi stations I had last Fall. Here's a sample from that event on 1089 with the Saudi station battling against the UK blowtorch: http://www.quebecdx.com/saudi_1089.mp3 In my last night loggings, I didn't took account of the regular Spaniards and most of UK and France stations that are normally showing up.

[IRCA] TP 29 Apr. Victoria version
Lots of splatter this morning, lots of carriers, and quite a bit of audio, some of it rather puzzling. A fine morning for the end of April. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 1566 HLAZ. Even the CC program did well at times this morning. Man in CC, bits of orchestral mx, more man talking 1201UT, but popped up at various other times as well. Was doing reasonably well when the CC program ended at 1229UT, but the JJ program came up at full strength at 1230UT with standard announcements. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1287 JOHR. Woman in JJ 1207UT. not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 774 JOUB. EE lessons, easily recognized even when weak by the EE lady's, ah, distinctive, voice. Best at 1225UT. 972 HLCA. Last pip at 1200UT heard weakly as this faded up to man in KK 1201UT; also noted w/woman in KK at 1233UT. 1053 KK jammer at 1208UT 1323 CRI. Various snippets of audio from 1149UT, ID'd by chimes and fanfare that were heard weakly at 1200UT, but by 1216UT, woman in recognizable RR. Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 702 2BL. Barely there, but pips and ABC fanfare crept through the crud at 1300UT 738 Tahiti? Rock vocal mx 1209UT 747 JOIB. EE lessons //774 1204UT 909 unID. Man talking 1203UT, too much splash to guess at language. 1035 unID. Man talking, maybe DU EE? 1205UT, far too much splash. 1206 Yanbian? Man talking, then woman 1210UT, off channel, too much 1200UT to guess at language. Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567 828 1008 1026 1098 1251 1278 1503 1548 best wishes, Nick ___ 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
