Rick,

I tried this tonight and it worked like a champ, except no one was in the 
chatroom except for me. I called a friend, and had him join me. It worked 
fine—but he has no interest in MW DXing…so no joy. 

Who’s in? Let’s revive #MWDX…it’s a great resource!

Obviously most relevance to the northwest DXer, but if the thing is 
lit up like a Christmas tree in the evening, checking for TAs 
anywhere in America might be productive, and if it's lit up at your 
local sunrise, it may mean that conditions are good overall, and that 
switching on the radio would not be amiss.

Subject: Re: [IRCA] John Bryant R.I.P

A John Bryant article on any subject was always a great read.

Not only was the level of knowledge and research always first rate but his 
style was always enthusiastic and down to earth as well, even when the subject 
was a complex one.

Unlike some other hobby writing I've run across, there was no air of 
superiority or sense that most other DXers were "peons" or "plebeians" who 
could not possibly comprehend the esoteric concepts of electromagnetic 
communications phenomena.

Rather John got right to business with a clever, easy-going, and sometimes 
humorous style that got the ideas across to beginners and experts alike. There 
was no belittling of others' efforts (as we've seen elsewhere) even when some 
of those others were clearly barking up the wrong tree.

His articles in the Fine Tuning Proceedings books were legendary. His knowledge 
in other realms (architecture, art, cars / industrial design, workshop tools / 
practices, world cultures, languages, books, music, food, etc.) informed his 
writings about exotic DX and high-tech receivers. This cross-pollination of 
knowledge bases was vastly enriching, the stuff of top shelf novelists.

John is missed for sure. At least we can take some solace in that he inspired 
Gary and numerous others to carry on with similar dedication, expertise, and 
helping-hands mentoring that avoids pomposity and 'snark'. This is true whether 
today's DX keepers of the flame use ultralights, SDRs, or traditional desktop 
radios with knobs.

Fortunately some of John's writing is still online. 

This one about the Kaz antenna is quite useful:
http://www.dxing.info/equipment/kaz_bryant.dx

To the best of my knowledge, he never got to test-drive Neil's next 
development, the DKAZ. If he had, it would have been a great article.

The 9th of February is the 9th anniversary of John's untimely death,
following a fall from a ladder at his home in Stillwater, OK. I still
think of John often. He was a good friend, mentor, teacher, and first rate
DXer. Rest in Peace, John. Please take a moment for some thoughts for
this amazing gentleman.   Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC.

Thanks Walt,
John was a co-Founder of our Ultralight Radio group, and we lost a major part 
of our leadership with his untimely accident.
We still miss him greatly, especially as an ocean coast DXer willing to push 
his luck with Ultralight radios. He did set in motion a very creative trend, 
though, with experimental breakthroughs in FSL antennas, ocean cliff 
propagation discoveries and "Frequent Flyer" travel DXing. John probably would 
have been an eager participant in all these activities.

There always is Mark.  This latest Quoddy House DXp will be at:

Just a skeleton there now but I’ll be adding things over the next couple of

First to show up will be some TPs!

You can ‘still be DXing’ from QH by listening to the KiwiSDR I left behind:

Subject: [nrc-am] A phasing story. Greenland 720 logged in IL.

 A phasing story from last night. I live 12 miles NNW from WGN's xmtr. I put 
down a 288 ft BOG at about 35 deg // a 177 ft one. Phase null of WGN peaked at 
about 50 dB and it was down close to S6 on Perseus.  Sure enough there's audio 
seeming // KNR webstream which was mostly talk. Then from 0104-8 a couple of 
bouncy tunes sung by females clinched it leaving me no doubt. This using the 
Quantum Phaser which I think I'd like 2:1 or even 3:1 Vernier knobs for.
When I got Greenland at my WI DX paradise a decade ago, WGN and KNR were about 
S7-8 using longer terminated BOGs. At 12 miles distance I have no skywave to 
worry about.
I couldn't get Greenland on 650 where even though WSCR and WSM are close 
together on the dial and in similar directions, WSCR IBOC crept up during best 
null on WSM and visa-versa.
IBOC sucks but phasing ROCKS. Short BOGs aren't impressive 'til you phase them 
to create good back nulls.   73 KAZ --

I've always felt that Oct. is about the best month to DX and things haven't 
disappointed recently.I've learned to wait for stuff a few hundred miles west 
to fade and allow stuff near the west coast to come in. Of course recording 
with the Perseus is magical, and the DKAZ still seems to be a stunning antenna.
New this morning, 750 KXTG OR with local lumber yard ad. 980 KFWB CA with 
ranchera and finally "La Mera Mera". New audio from Australia as 3RN 621 and 
5AN 891 finally managed to push some DU accented/inflected  audio past local 
adjacent slop machines. 610 had rlg mx coming thru KONA WA and it seemed the 
same as I could dredge up thru the QRM on 920 (usually KVEL UT). Are all Family 
Radio stns //? (Hoping for KEAR...no sign of needed BC)
New over the past couple days.  580 KIDO ID, 590 KQNT WA, 590 KGLE MT (nice ID 
today) Audio on 1674 from Australia clearly not English. PAL lists Melbourne as 
only thing I could possibly get. 980 CKNW BC also new. 
Fun stuff, 840  KMPH CA IDed and bothered in LSB by 837 4RK which was logged 
again by //.600 KOGO CA. 1020 KTNQ CA good. 870 KLSQ NV loud! 570 KVI WA. etc 
etc.

Subject: [IRCA] 1100AM at night.

In the wee hours of Saturday Morning in New England, I was hoping to pick up 
WTAM 1100AM.

Instead, I picked up some oldies music coming in strong.  The few station 
breaks I heard had no ID.

Music was oldies based, Chuck Berry, Fortunes (You've got your troubles), 
etc.

Looking at 
http://www.nf8m.com/pattern_maps/US-CA_nighttime/N-map_1100KHz.html I see no 
other stations on 1100AM that should be reaching me.

All I could think of was some AM station on 1100AM was doing some "after 
midnight testing"? running their full power and daytime antenna?  (WHLI?)

Thoughts?

My wife and I visited Quoddy House near Lubec, Maine for the Downeast Birding 
Festival over Memorial Day weekend.  Nobody who knows anything about radio goes 
to Quoddy House without putting up an antenna and giving DXing a try.

I put up a 160’ DKAZ pointing 100 deg. and am working through Perseus wav files 
from May 26-28.  So far the highlights are Bolivia on 960, Mozambique on 1206 
and about 20 Brazilians.

Conditions were not the greatest but anything is better than listening from my 
noise-ridden, non-coastal Alexandria, VA home.

We lost power here for about 30 minutes this afternoon, so what did I 
do? Chop wood for the fireplace? No, I got on the radio!

Logged six new navigational beacons on LW and then I moved over to the 
AM band and heard a mystery station on 1710. All I heard was Spanish 
music - no voice - so no station identification. Station was stronger on 
my vertical antenna as compared to my 80-meter inverted Vee. At times, 
the Hudson County (NJ) TIS competed with the Spanish music station on 
both antennas. And as soon as power was restored, the station 
disappeared into the noise.

I have heard this station occasionally at dusk, but have had no luck 
identifying it.

Anyone have a clue?

How many here either started out DX'ing SW or have done so along with BCB over 
the years ?


I started with BCB as a child, and dabbled in SW in my late teens and early 
twenties, then went back to BCB because to me at the time it was too easy to 
log multiple countries in a fairly short period of time as compared to BCB.

I know exactly how you feel as the same thing has happened to me and is still 
ongoing.  The only good news is that I know exactly from which house the brutal 
RFI is emanating.  It's the unhealthy woman next door (due East of me thus 
killing TA's.)  I know it's some device in her house (possibly a plasma TV) 
because, when she went away for 3 months, the noise stopped completely and, the 
day she returned, so did the buzz that covers the MW band and up to at least 10 
mHz.  She is not exactly easy to talk to so all I can do is wait.  Meanwhile, 
if a signal is really strong it will break through the buzz but serious DX is 
out of the question unless I go mobile.

Also, she leaves her TV on 24/7.  I guess it keeps her company to some degree.  
It is sad that she is that lonely but I wish someone would teach her about 
sleep timers so that at least it would turn off for a few hours.

This is a problem that is becoming more common all of the time and is a threat 
to our hobby.  Who cares?  Only us.

Hi Everyone,


Yes, indeed I am alive and well. As Bill stated, something in the neighborhood 
has shown up in the past few years that really knocks out the dial. I feel it 
is not the power lines, but something else. Even though the area has 
underground power, there are still neighbors close enough and anything can 
cause the noise. I couple weeks ago I did have one day without the noise and 
the power was on. A lot of older people live in the area too and any could have 
a medical device that could cause the noise. Plus Pot is now legal in Oregon so 
dryers and other noise makers could be the cause. I attended the Reno 
convention this year and had a great time. I am still very much interested in 
the hobby, but I may have to wait until the dial gets quieter. I got a good 
gain FM Yagi from Germany, via Les and it works quite nicely for FM, so it 
still is not MW. I do a lot of streaming too. People around here move and pass 
on, it is just a matter of time when the dials gets more quiet. That is if
  I live that long. hi. I just I have to add that in there, as I will be 69 in 
March, but as others can attest I am still in good shape. Hopefully I will stay 
that way for a while. Thanks for asking.

Subject: [IRCA] 1521 China into Michigan tonight!

After reading recent reports that China was logged by Allen Willie in
Newfoundland and the PEI gang, I thought I'd pay closer attention to 1521
during the early evening hours.  Patience paid off tonight when I caught
some faint Russian talk and music beginning around 00:30 UTC.  I was able
to parallel what I was hearing in real-time to a Kiwi remote SDR located in
Novosibirsk, Russia (roughly 1000km north of Urumqi) that had a strong copy
on the same signal.  Despite not catching an ID on the remote receiver, I'm
fairly confident that I had CRI, which would be a new country here.
Honestly, I never thought to look for China at this hour until reading the
reports mentioned above.

If you really mean 963 kHz, I think you had something further than Great 
Britain.  MW List only shows 2 stations there in the UK and both are under 1 
kw.  More likely is Tunisia, Kuwait, or Iran.  If you have a recording, listen 
to it again.

Subject: [IRCA] Iceland

I went to Iceland for the past week and did a bit of DXing using a 
Tecsun 880. It was limited as I was travelling with family, hotel noise 
levels varied greatly, and "night" time hours were limited (3-4 hours).

666 RUV Iceland is on the air most of the time (maybe 90% when I 
checked) and is probably still running low power as they weren't super 
strong in Reykjavik.

On the east coast of Iceland with a nice water path and generally 1-4 km 
from the water, I had regular very weak daytime reception of 810 BBC 
(North Scotland) and 693 BBC (not sure which transmitter). I also had 
some hets (probably including BBC Wales).  I tested several cliffs and 
didn't notice any gain.  Is it possible that lava rocks lack iron and 
thus aren't as good?  I've read that Iceland is low on metals.  This is 
the best daytime distances I've ever had on MW so I was quite happy!

I did one short session of night time listening on the south coast of 
Iceland near Vik.  I didn't hear Faero 531 - so they are still 
inactive.  I also didn't hear Greenland or any US stations.  I got the 
best reception from the UK, followed by Spain. Algeria (531 and 549) was 
good.  I also tentatively heard Tunisia and Morocco.  The furthest 
signal was from Saudi Arabia (585).

Reykjavik isn't the best for DXing Europe as it on the coast, but has a 
lot of land between it and Europe.

Iceland is an amazingly beautiful country due to the volcanos, though 
rather pricy (expect to pay double or more what you do in the US).  We 
drove the highway 1 which wraps around the shoreline much of the time  
and would provide a lot of opportunities for a more DX oriented visit.  
Most of the country is open fields and you could also set up long 
antennas without a problem, assuming the sheep cooperate and that you 
can figure out who owns it (or frankly they probably won't care or find 
out).  It is nice and temperate in the summer, though it can be also be 
rather cold (40) and windy (we had 30 mph gusts one day).

That's a funny story.  I noticed a similar situation in the late 80's while 
living in Georgia.  I was listening to the signoff ancmt of WNOW-1030 in NC.  
At the end of the ancmt, the guy said, "Now stay tuned to 1030 and listen to 
WBZ from Boston."  As soon as WNOW cut their carrier, WBZ faded in nicely with 
local news.

Current NRC AM Log (#37) confirms Rick's WGLB info:

"AP U7 2500/250 CH 700" although it lists City of License as Elm Grove and not 
Port Washington.  Mailing address in Milwaukee. I had to look up U7.  It is 
directional day/night/critical hours with 3 different patterns.

Jim, you're probably thinking of WGLB in Port Washington, and the FCC
website for WGLB says they were granted a CP two years ago to go to 2500
days, 250 nights, 700 during CH.  When I was in Davenport, Iowa (roughly
163 air miles from WGLB's transmitter site) last September, WGLB was
blowing the doors off everything else on 1560 just before Midnight.  My
surmise is that not only is their CP on, but I'd bet my next dozen
farm-fresh eggs that they're running that 2500 watt day power all night
long.

There was a tip on Facebook at 2309, and of course I didn't note who posted
it, but WFME 1560 is off the air.  In it's place a strong signal with a
gospel music program mentioning Wisconsin and Wisconsin phone numbers.
Must be using day power, I figured.  But the NRC Log says WGYB is U4
185/250.  So one of those unusual ones that is authorized to raise power at
night.  Though 250 watts seems to be packing quite a punch tonight.  A new
one here.And thanks for the FB tip.

I am amazed that virtually all issues of DX NEWS are now available for member 
viewing on e-dxn!  This was obviously a huge project and I thank all of those 
who participated!  I have just read the first 2 issues of Volume 39 (1970-1971) 
and WOW did it ever bring back memories!  Fascinating to see names that I had 
forgotten and names of NRCers that I knew personally like Gordon Nelson, Big 
George Kelley, and Randy Kane.  Plus, the DX heard was incredible - long before 
SDR's and the Internet.  A suggestion for anyone (like myself) whose vision 
ain't what it used to be.  Copy a section you would like to read to a new Word 
document and increase the font size.  It really helps!  Thanks again to those 
who did all of the scanning and associated tasks!

Back in the 80's 891 and 1521 were always in together right after Sunset
night after night. The same holds true today. Right after sunset, if 890 is
getting a banging het from 891, I check 530, 550 and 710 and each and every
time all have hets on them from 531, 549, and 711 always in semi au cx and
barefoot, not once, but 5 times this season under semi au cx then I believe
I've got a strong chance that this won't be Europe. Europe, barefoot, has
not been in well for me this year 1000, I've not hear absolute radio at all
this year on 1215 nor France on 1206. Please also do not forget that George
Sherman and Mike Bates were on top of TA propagation for many years and
they taught me a lot of the nuances. So in conclusion I do believe I can
say that this is a no brainer unless I had a KAZ antenna. If I had a nice
terminated, directional antenna then things would get more complicated. But
I do not.

So I usually keep my thoughts, and my catches to myself because some people
on here seem to think I report fake dx. It's been done on here...publicly.
And I not once EVER received an apology for it.

[IRCA] WFLI Chattanooga To Go Dark

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---

Sorry to see them go.  WFLI-1070 was one of the first stations I heard testing 
during the wee hours.  With CBA-1070 in their nightly silent period, WFLI was 
loud and clear and alone on the channel.   They were also one of the first 
stations I heard with an announcer who had a serious Southern accent.  I was 16 
at the time (1966) and really got a kick out of that Southern drawl.  He IDed 
as "WFLI, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee" and he stretched that out to about 10 
seconds!

[IRCA] philosophy of logging a new one

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---

Stan-  

I agree with Jim 100%.  Detecting a carrier is not enough information for a 
logging.  You need to hear audio.  Hearing and recording a local ID is 
preferable but not 100% necessary.  If you hear audio on a particular frequency 
and find a shortwave parallel or webstream of the same station with the same 
audio, that is sufficient to claim a logging.

A carrier or weak audio may likely be a particular station, and if I have
previously logged it with IDable material I may presume that it's what I've
previously heard.  So that's not claiming a new station, just reporting on
reception conditions.  You could argue that a distinct known offset, like
774.005, might be enough to determine the source of a carrier, but I
wouldn't (even if I could measure that precisely).  Also, offsets can
change, sometimes on a daily basis. But some have had big offsets like
Libya 1053 and Albania 1395 and it's pretty clear what those signals might
be, but, again, I wouldn't report them as new loggings unless there was
something IDable.  Libya, for example, was heard around 2010 on a big
offset, but it was only when I heard its Big Ben-style bells that I logged
it.  Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

Noting that Tim Tromp in MI has had them twice in a week and has caught
them in March in the past couple of years, I had to try this morning.
Previous attempts at getting them have resulted in carriers in too much
slop for audio.

I got to the rx this morning a minute prior to my 1154 UT SR. Bingo,
there's a big carrier on 1548.01 in much slop and sure enough I can hear an
Aussie accented guy speaking. The signal fades up and down lots and I check
around and note quite a few other highband carriers.

1548 was fading down somewhat by ToH but the ABC nx sounder mx was clear
enough.

A quick check of low band Aussie freqs showed about no trace. I'll see if
any Asians came thru when I get home. Japan and Korea seem to not get east
of cental OK unless cx are extraordinary.

Tom & KAZ-

You guys are not alone.  Same situation here for almost 4 years.  WAY too much 
electrical noise is ruining the hobby at my home location.  Strong signals will 
over power the noise.  But we are mostly seeking distant, often weak signals.  
They don't have a chance.  Fortunately, in my case, I can drive to my choice of 
several ocean beaches in a matter of minutes.  So nice to listen to the AM Band 
with no power line noise!  Of course IBOC is still there but its popularity 
among network executives and station owners is trending downward.

Hi Marc,

About the 183 frequency, I know that a couple of years ago, the top one 
of their four towers collapsed so they have to re-arrange the antenna 
array. Based on this article (in German, use a translator) 
http://www.saar-nostalgie.de/Europe1Unfall.htm , the power has also been 
lowered to 1000 Kw along with a new tower arrangement.

Same result here with a signal decline since then.

Germany-183 (always in French!) was the most reliable here for over 10 years.  
But, in the last year or so, their signal has seriously declined.  Does anyone 
know why?

In general, this has been the worst year for LWBC since I began monitoring it 
in 2002.  Former reliable regulars like Poland-225 and Luxembourg-234 have been 
rare.  Czech Republic-270 not heard this season.

The most reliable this year have been Morocco-171 and Iceland-189 and neither

I hope next year is better as I enjoy LWBC DX!

[IRCA] Antenna wire

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

Mark- The attachments to your post do not work, at least on my computer.  As 
far as I know, this list does not allow attachments.

If you have a Facebook account, you could post your photos there.  Look for the 
group "DXing - Sponsored by the National Radio Club."

FYI, I have used insulated stranded  wire (both 12 gauge and 14 gauge)  for my 
antennas and have been quite happy with the results.  Available at Home Depot 
in 500' rolls for about $50.

Subject: [IRCA] Antenna wire

Greetings and a happy new year to all!

I have some antenna wire that a DXing friend of mine (Chuck Mitchell, 
WB9NWF, from Carmel IN, S.K.) got ahold of back in the 80s. It's STILL 
working well, and I've not found a better wire, and over time the longer 
pieces keep getting used and reused and shortened, and I'd like to 
acquire more just like it, if I can. After decades of use, the markings 
on the insulation have faded away, so I don't know the manufacturer, 
type, gauge, etc. I have a link to some pics I took and was wondering if 
anyone could help with figuring out what exactly kind of wire it is, and 
where I might find some like it.

The wire is either 18 or 20 gauge, and is of type "overcoated" stranded. 
That is, there are 7 bare copper conductors, probably around 30 gauge, 
wrapped together with a slight twist (6 around a center 7th), and they 
are "tinned" with some kind of overcoating to make it appear like a 
single conductor. The first two links show what it looks like:

spacetubes.com/IMAG0072.jpg
spacetubes.com/IMAG0074.jpg

I cut a piece of it off the end, and it came apart, and you can see the 
solid bare copper wires inside, and also the coating (made of an unknown 
material, but it's a lot like some kind of solder) in this photo:

spacetubes.com/IMAG0078.jpg.

Note that this is NOT the same as coated copper wire which is then 
stranded together.

The insulation is most likely PVC(?), as it is still pliable and not all 
brittle and cracked, even after being outdoors for years and years.

Any ideas what kind of wire it is? Or does anyone know where I could 
send a sample for analysis, to find out the exact type it is, so I can 
order the same kind?

Wire is wire, eh? Well, I can't explain it, but there's just something 
about this wire's electrical properties that makes it perform better 
than any other wire I've used.

Thanks for any help or direction!

Best regards,

Subject: [IRCA] #2000 logged from Michigan

I had hopes of hitting #2000 before the year ended, and that goal was
accomplished yesterday afternoon when a faint 1490 KLGR was heard.  I don't
count call changes and all logs between 530-1710 kHz have been from my same
suburban west Michigan location.

I started my logbook in 2009 with a "barefoot" DX-440 that was good for a
few hundred stations, but I wanted more!  Enter the Quantum Loop, which
worked wonderfully with the DX-440, and netted me a few hundred more
stations including my first Trans-Atlantic station (1134 Croatia) and
several more TAs to follow, most of which are now history.  Still wanting
more, but reaching the limit of the Q Loop, I knew it was time to go
bigger.  I bought a 500 FT spool of wire and laid it on the ground in a
straight line, connected it to the DX-440, and started logging a whole new
mix of more distant stations.  I learned more about BOGs and discovered how
Neil Kazaross was phasing two of them and soon went back to DX Tools and
purchased a Quantum Phaser to try it for myself.

It didn't take long to hit #1000 with this setup.  At this point I'm
pushing the DX-440 to its limit, so I decided to try SDR and eventually
opted for the Perseus which I still use today.  A reversible D-KAZ loop was
also added to the mix a few years ago.

Some obligatory stats since starting this adventure in 2009: 47 states
heard with AK, HI & DE still needed (keep dreaming).  Most distant catch:
702 2BL Sydney @ 9,345 miles/15,039 km.  Nearest unheard: WBCH @ just 59
miles!  169 graveyarders and 37 countries heard on MW.  Recordings of some
of my more interesting catches are posted to YouTube here:

At Lubec Bay House [LBC] I had a 160’ DKAZ pointing 100 degrees and at Quoddy

Many wav files yet to review but loggings so far can be seen on this webpage:

Conditions were good and highlights include South Africa and Nigeria both on 
828kHz, Eritrea on 845kHz, lots of stations from Iran and several Brazilians.

Mauno Ritola and Vlad Titarev, as well as the guys from the PEI DXpedition who

A good start to our DXpedition to this farmhouse in south-eastern PEI.
Joined by well-known DXers Bruce Conti, Neil Wolfish, Brent Taylor, and
Nick Hall-Patch, I felt like a newbie with such a profusion of TA and
African targets. The star antenna, IMHO, is the DKAZ erected by Nick aimed
60 degrees, in many instances outperforming a 1500' Beverage/BOG in the
same direction, and vastly superior to corner fed super loop. 73, Walt
Salmaniw


BENIN 1566, 2208-, TWR Africa Nov 6 Up to very good reception of TWR Africa
in French with IDs and postal address at 22:09. Then an interesting
sounding IS twice (not the usual TWR), and into an English ID as TWR
Benin. Rapidly faded down into oblivion. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

ERITREA 845, 0318-, Dimtsi Hafash 2 Nov 7 A very nice dawn enhancement
noted over east Africa with typical Horn of Africa music. Not as strong as
Sudan on 765 (and 1296) but still very listenable. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour
PEI)

GIBRALTAR 1458, 2355-, Radio Gibraltar Nov 5 Very nice reception, and // to
their internet feed, but of course, fading down and now cochannel to
several other stations. Time check for 12:00 in English, so likely a UK
station. But came back with a nice 'Radio Gibralatar' jingle ID at 00:02.

GREENLAND 720, 0440-, KNR Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa Nov 7 Excellent
reception in Greenlandic. Almost sounded a bit like south Pacific islands
music for a bit! Parallel to their internet feed found at:
http://tunein.com/radio/Kalaallit-Nunaata-Radioa-720-s102522/ A little
later, was replaced by the BBCWS, likely from Lisnagarvery with listed 10
kW. Latter at fair/good level. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

IRELAND 1494, 0337-, Nonstop 90s Nov 6 This just has to be Ireland with
clearly accented English then into music. Fades down to nothing at times,
though. Only one that makes sense to me! Checked the online receiver at
the University of Twente, and sure enough, it's them. Mostly music, but
with announcements in English clearly (more or less) heard. I'm very
pleased with this catch. Faded before 04:00, but no longer sounds
English. Neil Wolfish tells me, however, that they apparently went off the
air, and so it might be a Pirate instead. Comments, anyone?.
(Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)


ISLE OF MAN 1368, 0900-, Manx Radio Nov 6 Nice ID at 09:00, including 'Isle
of Man'. Fair reception. Probably commonly heard, but still a thrill for
me, a west coast DXer!. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

LITHUANIA 1386, 0014-, Radio Baltic Waves International Nov 7 With Radio
Svoboda (Liberty) relay at excellent level with program in Russian. A very
nice variety program. Seems a lot more interesting compared to VOA
Russian. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

MAURITANIA 783, 0458-, Radio Mauritanie Nov 7 Very strong reception with
presumed call to Prayer. Parallel to on-line feed on
http://www.radiomauritanie.mr/ Nothing at the TOH, just continued with
same. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

MOLDOVA 1413, 0045-, Vesti FM Nov 7 Dominating now for some time, with
weather and an ad for an upcoming fishing program. At 00:57 now hearing
Spain cochannel. Good to very good at times. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

NORTHERN IRELAND 1341, 0900-, BBC Radio Ulster Nov 6 Very good reception
announcing 98 95 FM and 1341, 'This is BBC Radio Ulster'. (Salmaniw,Murray
Harbour PEI)

OMAN 1413, -, BBC Nov 7 Cochannel, just before the TOH with Grigoriopol
in Russian, but soon dominated with BBC gongs and into listed Dari. Vesti
back to dominate as I type this at 00:45. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

PIRATE 1730, 0246-, unid Pirate Nov 7 Non-stop music, sometimes at good
levels, but in the 30+ minutes I monitored, not a word was spoken. Carrier
cut at 02:46:19. Anyone have any ideas who this might be? Deep Purple's
Smoke on the Water at 02:35. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

PIRATE? 1730, 0124-, Unid Nov 6 Fair reception playing American Pie, but
with a lot of static crashes. At 01:31, playing The Night They Drove Old
Dixie Down. Anyone have any ideas?. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

SAO TOME PRINCIPE 1530, 0258-, Voice of America Nov 6 Yankee Doodle, and
into VOA ID at 03:00 and English news. Cochannel 15 kW Romania. Sometimes
one stronger, and sometimes the other, but mostly the edge to STP. Good
reception. (Salmaniw,Murray Harbour PEI)

SAO TOME PRINCIPE 1530, 0300-, VOA Nov 7 Very strong reception tonight

Would someone who is a Facebook friend of Bruce, please inform him that his FB

bogus chat messages.  I had to Unfriend Bruce in order to stop the messages 
which deal with the "CEO of Facebook helping disabled people with cash."  
Definitely fraudulent.  Also, major grammatical errors which I would not expect

[IRCA] Mobile DX Recording Question

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---

After much consideration, I have decided to go with a digital recorder for 
Mobile DX with the JRC NRD-525.   Specifically, the Tascam Dr-05:
 
https://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-Portable-Digital-Recorder-Version/dp/B00LU8K790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1472939226=8-1=tascam+dr-05
 
It seems to be a less expensive version of the one recommended by Bill Nollman 
in CT.  Anyway, this one has everything I need: external line-in jack, 
headphone jack, USB port, battery operated, nice LCD display.

Many thanks to all who responded to my querie with various suggestions: Russ 
Johnson, Russ Edmunds, Bruce Conti, Nick Hall-Patch, Mark Connelly, and of 
course, Mr. Nollman.  All suggestions were excellent and I was amazed at the 
response.  DXers are always so willing to help with a problem!
 
Looking forward to some DXpeditions at local Cape Cod beaches in the upcoming 
season.

Mark, audio recording with a laptop or digital device. One of my favorite 
topics.
 
Option #1 - I’ll assume the laptop is Windows 7 or lower – in which case I have 
a Turtle Beach USB sound card (looks like a small pager, no drivers for Win8 or 
10) that I’ve been debating putting on eBay. Audio input is excellent and has a 
built in microphone and switch on the device if you want to add comments as you 
record.
 
Option #2 – digital recorder. Tons of options really expensive right down to 
cheap. I prefer somewhere in the middle. My favorite digital recorder is the 
Tascam DR07 (the older DR07 not the DR07 mkII). Recording quality is amazing 
and with a 2GB card you can record for hours at 256kbps MP3. With a 16GB card 
you probably can’t fill it up ever. Quality is excellent, controls are 
excellent. The built in mic is good as well although a bit trickier to switch 
over to than the USB “card”.
 
Option #3 – you can probably find dirt cheap mp3 recorders from Hong Kong for 
under $10. IMHO you get what you pay for in this category. But for some peoples 
ears it’s more than perfect.

Mark Connelly has built for me an amplified whip antenna with magnetic base 
that I can mount on the roof of my car for oceanfront DXpeditions.  We tested 
it in an RFI quiet zone - the local cemetery! - and it works fine with my JRC 
NRD-525 receiver.

 

The problem is recording  DX using Total Recorder on my laptop.  The laptop 
does not have an audio "line in" jack so I have been trying to use the 
microphone jack.  It records but the audio playback is quite distorted.  On the 
laptop I get the following message from Total Recorder:

 

"The level of the source signal is too high.  Possibly the characteristics of 
the sound source do not match those of the soundboard input (e.g. instead of 
soundboard's line-in connector, the microphone-in connector is used.)   
Recording is possible, but the quality of the recorded sound may be low."

 

Right.  I noticed that.The question is what is the solution to the problem. 
 20 years ago I had an "attenuating cable" from Radio Shack that might solve 
the problem.  But, like a dummy, I through it away thinking that, "I'll never 
have any use for that."  I doubt that RS still carries this product.

 

So, is there a Total Recorder setting that might work?  Or, should I scrap 
Total Recorder and buy a portable digital recorder?  If so, which one?  A 
digital recorder (with a line-in jack of course) would be better in that it is 
smaller and would take up less space in the car.

 

Any help appreciated.

Has worked fine for me in the past; Total Recorder should see it as 
another audio input, more likely several.

I was using it with a Windows 7 machine, but it appears there are 
drivers for Windows 8 and 10 too.

OK - you've touched the necessary bases. What you need is either one of the 
options Bill suggested or the one someone else suggested to moderate the level. 


But I have another suggestion which is both inexpensive and non-technical and 
which might work. There's a Micro Center in Boston. They stock a Sabrent USB 
sound card which runs about $10 and is plug-in via a USB port.

The Turtle Beach (long discontinued) is external. Plugs into a USB port, load 
the software and switch your default sound card to it. I’ve done it 1000 times 
but unfortunately now have mostly Windows 10 computers. You’d think I would 
have sold it already but can’t bear to part with technology that was so good.

Subject: Mobile DX Recording Question

Mark Connelly has built for me an amplified whip antenna with magnetic base 
that I can mount on the roof of my car for oceanfront DXpeditions.  We tested 
it in an RFI quiet zone - the local cemetery! - and it works fine with my JRC 
NRD-525 receiver.

The problem is recording  DX using Total Recorder on my laptop.  The laptop 
does not have an audio "line in" jack so I have been trying to use the 
microphone jack.  It records but the audio playback is quite distorted.  On the 
laptop I get the following message from Total Recorder:

"The level of the source signal is too high.  Possibly the characteristics of 
the sound source do not match those of the soundboard input (e.g. instead of 
soundboard's line-in connector, the microphone-in connector is used.)   
Recording is possible, but the quality of the recorded sound may be low."

Right.  I noticed that.The question is what is the solution to the problem. 
 20 years ago I had an "attenuating cable" from Radio Shack that might solve 
the problem.  But, like a dummy, I through it away thinking that, "I'll never 
have any use for that."  I doubt that RS still carries this product.

So, is there a Total Recorder setting that might work?  Or, should I scrap 
Total Recorder and buy a portable digital recorder?  If so, which one?  A 
digital recorder (with a line-in jack of course) would be better in that it is 
smaller and would take up less space in the car.

Any help appreciated.

Yes. I bought some recently from MCM I think.  Very inexpensive. I bet 
attenuation patch cords are available from non Radio Shack sources. I will see 
what I can find tonight or Saturday for you.

[IRCA] Mobile DX Recording Question

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
OK, Thanks Bill.  Yes, the Laptop has Windows 7.  I will look for the Tascam 
DR07.  Does the Turtle Beach sound card work as an "outboard" device or does it 
need to be installed internally?

Mark, audio recording with a laptop or digital device. One of my favorite 
topics.
 
Option #1 - I’ll assume the laptop is Windows 7 or lower – in which case I have 
a Turtle Beach USB sound card (looks like a small pager, no drivers for Win8 or 
10) that I’ve been debating putting on eBay. Audio input is excellent and has a 
built in microphone and switch on the device if you want to add comments as you 
record.
 
Option #2 – digital recorder. Tons of options really expensive right down to 
cheap. I prefer somewhere in the middle. My favorite digital recorder is the 
Tascam DR07 (the older DR07 not the DR07 mkII). Recording quality is amazing 
and with a 2GB card you can record for hours at 256kbps MP3. With a 16GB card 
you probably can’t fill it up ever. Quality is excellent, controls are 
excellent. The built in mic is good as well although a bit trickier to switch 
over to than the USB “card”.
 
Option #3 – you can probably find dirt cheap mp3 recorders from Hong Kong for 
under $10. IMHO you get what you pay for in this category. But for some peoples 
ears it’s more than perfect.

The  new AM Log looks great!  It includes a new "By State" section in the back 
that will be very helpful.
 
I have already informed Wayne Heinen of the "36th Edition" typo on the cover 
page so please don't bombard him with emails or messages on that.  Obviously, 
it is the 37th Edition.

Unsolicited endorsement: The NRC AM Log continues to be the most accurate 
source of AM Radio stations in the U.S. and Canada.  It has been since John 
Callarman hand-typed the First Edition on mimeograph stencils in 1968 in 
Greater Boston.

Sounds like someone's pirating. WAAF has no co-owned station on 1420; 
the nearest is WVEI Worcester on 1440, and it's a simulcast of sports 
WEEI-FM from Boston.

If 50 kW stations are sometimes even a challenge to hear in steel buildings 
in/near city centers or are challenged by wall-warts, lighting fixtures, etc. 
in the average home, then how is dropping to 10 kW going to help?


Just because the signal goes hundreds of miles when listening on a good car 
radio at a site not near power lines and buildings, 30-50 miles of usable 
coverage might be more like the situation in "real world" listening.


AM stations may actually need to be running more power than less in the modern 
world of RF noise.


And do we really need more AM stations when many existing ones are going belly 
up?


The other play, of course, would be a digital-format band in the VHF or UHF 
region.  DAB and similar are being tried in Europe but not exactly with 
resounding success.


I'd rather have a few AM stations with quality locally-aware programming than a 
bunch of half-baked satellite programming relays.  Run enough power to get into 
typical home, office, and car environments without the accompanying hiss, 
squeaks, and squawks from every electro-gizmo within 500 ft.

Do we really need 50k stations at all anymore? Maybe drop them down to 20k day 
and 10k or less at night. The San Francisco 50k stations cover far more than 
they need to. Do I really need to hear KCBS in Fresno in the daytime? 


Thanks

[IRCA] GeoClock

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---

I just installed DX Atlas on my Win 7 laptop and it works fine.  Very similar 
to GEOCLOCK but a little fancier.  It's free for 30 days and then $29.95.  Also 
installed IE 11 and it works fine.  Will be buying a new PC in a week or two.  
A Dell with 12 gigs of RAM, fast quad CPU's and a 2 TB hard drive.  About $630 
from Best Buy.  Old PC has just about pooped the bed.

I found the sweep tones at 0202 EST and a bit later some tones and also phone 
off the hook sounds. I still need to go back and re-run the cassette tape to 
see if any code or voice IDs came through the jumble. My beverage is not as

We have been in our new house for just over a year - it is the result of
over
10 years of saving and searching for the perfect place --

Perfect in that it
is town and country, has underground utilities,
does not have any industry near
by and is quiet electrically.

What I discovered after moving in is that there
was a neighbour
using BPL network devices which delivered quite the clatter all
over the
bands.
I had no idea which neighbour this could be - and when you
think about it,
it could be anyone within 1/2 km or so.

Anyway - I started
by e-mailing my 1st neighbour that was in the path of
the radio interference.
He replied almost immediately and said, "Yea, I use
a BPL device to reach a
part of my house that my wireless network does not
reach - but I am rarely in
there so I will turn it off and let's see what
happens!"

He switched it off
and the problem vanished. Yay! Problem solved!

It's not every day that things
turn out this way.

One for the good guys!

Good DX all.

Hi All:
The 1260 Boston was certainly off when I was out there 9/7 and 9/8.
Looks like another Disney gone. I used to like listening to them when I lived
out there in the early 1970s. They were then WEZE and had a nice
pop/oldies/personality format. So do they plan to try and compete with the
680?

Having first dabbled in SW, I was first introduced to MW DXing in the mid 80’s
when I lived in Lynwood and wondered why I couldn’t get the same loggings with
my NRD-515 and a piece of wire out the window from my apartment as I saw
reported by Mark Connelly! Boy did I have a lot to learn!



Life and trying to
keep from starving to death kept interfering with my Dxing but I managed to plug
along, learning little by little from many in this group, attending conventions
and get-to-gethers as well as Grayland outings when I was in the Seattle area
visiting my daughter. Along the way, I got licensed but always kept MW Dxing on
the front burner while living on Cape Cod for the last 17 years.



Always
eclectic, I dabbled in utilities, NDBs and some of the esoteric modes as a
diversion but managed to log over 100 countries on MW from Cape Cod locations
and Prince Edward Island. It’s hard to ignore the thrill of hearing KFI and
Japan from the east coast. Of course, having room for antennas like the  flag,
delta, super loop, K9AY, beverage, etc was a decided advantage and I was
fortunate to count as fellow DXers and friends the likes of Mark Connelly, Bruce
Conti and other legendary Dxers.



But, as I approached the seventh inning
stretch of this game, my wife's health prompted a move back to Washington to be
closer to family. I now live in a planned community in Redmond where antennas
are as verboten as a t-bone to a vegetarian. Having unloaded all radio equipment
before the move, I was despairing of ever re-connecting with the hobby. But we
Dxers are a resilient lot and so I throw myself on the mercy of the collected
wisdom of the group for suggestions as to radios, SDRs, antennas, etc so that I
might stay in the game from my modest digs in Trilogy at Redmond Ridge.



My
best to all and its good to be back.

[IRCA] BBC5-909 kHz

[Marc DeLorenzo via IRCA]

---BeginMessage---

Hi Nick-
 
First of all, this DX season has hardly been normal for me.  For the first 
time, I have had to deal with a major electrical buzz that covers most of the 
MW band.  It seems to be coming from Comcast cable transformers on my street.  
The electric company did come out to my house and were concerned and somewhat 
helpful.  Their technician and I walked the length of my street with my Sangean 
PrD5 portable receiver.  The bottom line, according to the technician, was 
This noise is not coming from us.  It's coming from Comcast.  Then the snow 
came and I have yet to contact Comcast.  Anyway, I did less MW DX this year 
than any year in memory.  So that makes your question more difficult to answer.

However, in past years the signal from BBC-909  has varied from poor to quite 
good.  At times the signal is clear enough that one can listen to the current 
topic very easily.  At other times, the audio seems a bit shallow and muffled 
and one is best advised to use the Internet stream for comparison.  909 is also 
parallel to 692 kHz which tends to be stronger but can suffer interference from 
Montreal-690.

Overall, my answer to your question is that 909 tends to be at fair level.  692 
is stronger as is Absolute Radio-1215.  TalkSport-1089 can be strong but 
requires a good null on Baltimore-1090.

I hope that helps.

73,

Hi Marc,

What sort of strength does Five Live usually have at your

location? I've DXed from Cape Cod and area myself, and was 
surprised
sometimes at how much the auroral zone (not a full blown 
aurora) could
suppress  TAs that looked just over the horizon from 
a west coaster's
perspective.

Wonder if you and/or other more coastally located DXers could
comment 
(possibly again?) on how TA's sound on a normal winter
evening?

best wishes,

Nick

I believe I recall Charles submitting a report of daytime groundwave reception

Charles and I were quite close at one time. I met him in 1973-74 just after I
got out of the navy. He lived in Indianapolis and I was in Lafayette. We kept up
with each other over the years and I visited him for a week or so in the early
80s when he was living and working on Okinawa and I was stationed on Guam. The
last I knew he was suffering from throat cancer and had lost the ability to
speak. He was always optimistic and a fighter. I haven't heard from him for
several years and just assumed that he'd passed. I hope I am wrong. A very good
guy and a tremendous DXer. I still have and use the R-390A he reconditioned and
sold to me for pretty much a song.

While going through wav files from a recent DXpedition near Lubec, Maine I came 
across a weak voice under France on 1377 kHz just after 2100utc on Nov. 12.  I 
could not ID the language so asked a couple of experienced DX colleagues, Mauno 
Ritola and Vlad Titarev, for some help.  Mauno suggested the language might be 
Swahili and offered to ask a ham friend in Kenya if he could verify that.  The 
Kenyan ham has come back and verified the language as Swahili though he could 
only pick out a few words.

I have emails out to a BBC colleague at the monitoring office near Nairobi and 
to a former FSN employee of VOA's Nairobi monitoring office who now lives in 
the States for additional confirmation.

For now, I'm calling this a logging of Radio Free Africa, Mwanza, Tanzania:
