Re: [IRCA] Sony XDRS10HPiP radio

2017-12-06 Thread Patrick Martin
I have found a lot of bargains at local Goodwill's. Often the 'Off the path" 
ones are better with good finds. I have found the Tillamook, Lincoln City, and 
Scappoose Goodwill's better that Portland. The smaller cities offer better 
prices where in the bigger cities are more expensive. It is just "hit and miss" 
Sometimes there are goodies and other times nothing too exciting. Lots of older 
clock radios, DVD players, TV's, even some car radios with cassette tapes. 
Amps, you name it. My friend Carey go often when traveling around the NW. He 
looks for old movies on DVD. I look at the electronics. We plan a trip next 
Summer down the coast, over to the Valley and back up. We should be able to hit 
about 8 Goodwill's. Fun stuff.

Patrick,

That’s some serious bargain hunting! Nice finds! I’ve been wanting to purchase 
a WiFi radio—maybe I’ll prowl Goodwill instead.

[IRCA] Sony XDRS10HPiP radio

2017-12-06 Thread Patrick Martin
Hi everyone,


Today I went to Goodwill and I found in very good shape, a Sony XDRS10HDiP HD 
Radio.  I plugged it in and it came on and seemed to work. No price on it, so I 
asked. The clerk said "How about $4.99, but the radio is "as is", no returns. I 
even got my 10% Senior Citizen discount, so it was $4.49!!! Got it home, hooked 
up the FM Yagi and it works perfectly. I got several FM stations in HD 
including KJR FM Seattle. It even has a connection on the top for an Ipod. I 
tried the Ipod connection   and it works too. This radio has two front speakers 
with Surround Sound and sounds great! The signal is even a hair better than on 
my XDR-F1 HD. That is the 3rd good deal I have found of late at Goodwill. This 
was the best of the bunch. First I found a Turntable/cassette/CD recorder for 
$20. Then I found a wifi radio for $15. All three work fine too. On the 
XDRS10HPiP radio, I have not tried the AM at yet. My XDR-F1 HD gets KSL in HD 
at times at night. I presume this one will too. Depending 
 on the noise level.  I am really pleased with this!

[IRCA] TP 6 Dec Victoria version

2017-12-06 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Despite geomagnetic upset, there were still Asiatics, though these 
ones tended to be strongest in the upper end of the band with a peak 
around 1530UT, about 20 minutes before local sunrise.   There was a 
lull between 1440UT-1510UT approximately for Asians, but not much in 
the way of Aussies showed up today.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):



not quite today




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


594 JOAK last DX left standing 1553UT, man in Japanese
774 JOUB English lessons 1414UT; didn't come up to this during the 
pre-sunrise enhancement

1503 JOUK woman singing 1534UT //594 which was quite a bit weaker
1566 HLAZ assumed, female vocal 1534UT



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


828 JOBB "time trials" English lessons 1409 //774
1386 NHK2 man talking //747 at 1532UT, with 1386 the stronger






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)


612 man talking, DU English intonation 1507UT
693 JOAB  man talking //1386 1532UT
747 JOIB man talking 1445UT; English lessons?  ID'd later with //1386
828 3GI ABC fanfare 1500UT
972 man talking, language unclear in the splash, 1541UT; HLCA?
1287 man talking, Japanese intonation  1526UT
1323 woman talking 1531UT, difficult to tel, CRI?
1575 man mumbling 1535UT; no clues at 1530UT, unfortunately; VoA?


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


 873  891 1017 1269  1359 1422 1557 1593 seemed to be Asian;
 1098  seemed to be DU

Appropriately as we approach the Christmas season, we learn that the
reactivated transmissions of Radio Kiribati on 846 AM are in fact coming
from a new location - London Village on Christmas Island, providing
coverage of the Line and Phoenix Group, including Kanton Island.  Long
time DXers will recall the last radio station on Canton Island - WXLE on
1385 AM.

See attached from the Radio Kiribati Facebook page.

Thanks to Theo Donnelly for encouraging me to do some sleuthing on this one!

Re: [IRCA] kdka / radio reloj

2017-12-06 Thread Scott Fybush
The answer, in this case, is probably the extremely auroral conditions 
that many DXers have been reporting the last few nights. That can create 
considerable enhancement to the south while completely wiping out 
anything coming in from the north.


And KDKA's groundwave is notoriously bad, so to have it disappear at 50 
miles isn't terribly surprising at all.

When and where that starts I guess would entirely depend on conditions.

better than I could?

Re: [IRCA] kdka / radio reloj

2017-12-06 Thread Forrester S
There was a conversation several years back regarding WCCO. I was at that
time 35 miles from their transmitter and at times I would hear that fade,
signifying that I was in the zone of skywave interfering with groundwave.
When and where that starts I guess would entirely depend on conditions.
Mark Durenberger,  maybe you could explain the technical side of this
better than I could?

There is a zone to where groundwave ends and skywave begins, in which the
signal is compromised enough to hear other stations underneath. This is
most likely where are, in this zone.
