[IRCA] TP 29 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

In some ways worse (the lower band was almost completely dead), in some ways 
better (there was a lift at the upper end of the band around local sunrise)

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

no




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


1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese followed by female vocal music 1542UT.   This first 
showed about 1530UT, and lasted until after 1600UT, but not at this good a level




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

1593 CNR1 woman talking //6175 1539UT




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) 

972 woman talking, maybe Korean? 1527UT

1557 man talking, Chinese intonation at 1540 and 1545UT




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

1242 1359 1422 1503 1575 seemed to be Asian; 
 1017 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Thanks Nick.
I later saw some comments on the Topband reflector indicating very 
location-dependent opinions as to whether it was "the best of times" or "the 
worst of times". Strange indeed. Re MW DX here on the East Coast, I'm not even 
sure anyone had radios on.

Haven't seen any IRCA replies on this Mark, but 
N7DF recently walked back his comments a bit 
after seeing quite a few of the other 160m 
contestants saying how poor conditions had been.

My own comments that you quoted were from Sunday 
morning, traditionally a time when contests on 
160m are winding down, and people throw in the 
towel if it doesn't look like they'll add any 
more contacts to what they've already 
made.  Saturday morning here was a bit better 
than Sunday, but still not anywhere up to what 
one might expect from geomagnetic conditions.

Re: [IRCA] Testing a WebSDR

[His]

As others have said - THANKS Colin and THANKS to Walt for hosting this in 
Massett!  That'll be something.

These KiwiSDRs are pretty robust, having had one running unattended over two 
winters now in Lubec, Maine.

Biggest concern is the antenna -- totally unattended antennas in tough spots 
are hard.  Best just to run a BOG and leave it.

 On 1060 I was hearing Spanish music and talk with an unusually load

 The AM Radio Log shows their format as Chinese Radio Intl. In a

 Why their signal sounded so good on 66 nighttime watts

[IRCA] (New) Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide, etc.

[Chris Kadlec]

Just a note that my Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide has moved to:

http://chriskadlec.com (see the Radio menu)

I have added numerous full-length propaganda clips (AM FM SW) that I hadn't 
featured before, as well as photos and more. My old page was merely a temporary 
home for two years in lieu of this new page that had been planned for that 
pretty much that long.

In addition to that, I have built new pages featuring all KBS local addresses 
for those QSL seekers and a new/improved page for Chinese ID vocabulary (i.e. 
guangbo, dianshi zong tai, zhi sheng, etc.) with full English and pinyin 
translations for each clip. Both were previously PDFs. I also have a plan to 
add a similar page for MBC local addresses and update my list of Asian station 
streams.

For those who have interests beyond MW, you can also find all my FM content, 
including my full Chinese tropo and E-skip log with 3 hours of audio, and my 
new 6-hour 500 top-of-hour ID project for my 530 FM regulars here in Michigan. 
And other stuff too.

Hope some of you will check it out and let me know if there are other such 
resources that I may have access to that anyone would be interested in.

Re: [IRCA] Coax Cable

[James Niven]

Thanks to all who have chimed in with their thoughts, very interested ideas
have been put forth.
I will keep reading and do some price comparisons.

Subject: Re: [IRCA] Coax Cable

Good to see that we've opened the flood gates on this topic, James.

Rodent bites have never been an issue at my coastal location in western
Canada, and I forget that it can be a big issue elsewhere.

OT:  It's not like we don't have rodents, but perhaps they're all 
fat and happy from the continual feeding they get here from little old
ladies of all ages and as many genders as floats your boatthey think
they're feeding just the fluffy squirrels and the cute little chickadees.

The day I saw, in broad daylight, six large rats working a bird feeder a few
doors down made sure that I was never going to feed the wildlife, no matter
how senile I became.  On the other hand, no rodent bites on the coax

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Coax Cable

I don't see any reason (economic or electrical) to use any of the alternatives 
except Cat5 / CAT6. The balanced nature of twisted pair can only be an 
advantage.
