I have a nice verie letter from them on the KAKA letterhead for a frequency 
check in 1963.  The interesting part about the call didn't strike me until 
now.  Ah, the purity of youth.  Your point is well taken though, John.  :-)

I also vaguely remember that they had another interesting call a number of 
years ago:  KAKA.  I don't believe that call lasted too long.  Much more 
appropriate for AM radio now than it was then. - John

[IRCA] BOGish sky loop

2014-11-03 Thread Bob Coomler via IRCA 
---BeginMessage---

BOGs work.  Sky loops work.  Was wondering how a ground mounted loop might 
work as a non-directional receiving antenna. I can easily lay out a 300' loop 
in my back yard (more with creative geometry).  The best test is to just do it 
of course, but was wondering if anyone has any experience with this 
configuration?

[IRCA] BOGish skyloop

2014-11-11 Thread Bob Coomler via IRCA 
---BeginMessage---
Not to be confused with the current BOG thread.  :-)
Many thanks to Dennis Vroom, Larry Fravel, Jim Balle and Russ Edmonds for 
sharing their thoughts and experiences.  It can't be a permanent installation, 
but by including the front yard, I should be able to extend this to about 480 
feet.  This could be fun.  It will have to wait until early December as we are 
heading out early next week to Iceland to (hopefully) see the aurora borealis 
and then to New Hampshire to see our daughter and her family.  
As to Iceland, if anybody would like me to listen for anything specific, let me 
know.  I'll be taking along my Sony ICF-SW7600GR and/or Tecsun PL-660.

I'm looking for a new set of headphones to replace older ones that have fallen 
apart. My older ones cost around $100 a few years ago and were 
noise-cancelling. Not the most comfortable on the ears, but tolerable. Checking 
at The Source, Canada's version of Radio Shack, I was I was shocked at the 
plethora of headphones available, and the price - all over $300 (with noise 
cancellation).
At that price I can live without noise cancellation! But I am floored by the 
sheer variety available at The Source, and also at big-box chains like Best Buy 
and Future Shop. 
Anyone have any favourites for DXing? I'm looking to spend $150 or less - 
optimally $50-$100 - and am looking primarily for comfort. Some pairs I've 
tried squish the ears. Noise cancellation would be a plus. There are times when 
I don't want outside distractions.
Any recommendations?

My apologies for going a bit off topic.  I'm looking for a portable that has 
proven FM DXing capabilities and will accept an external antenna.  I know this 
was discussed on the IRCA or ULR reflector several months ago, but durned if I 
can find the thread.  If anyone can point me in the right direction, or just 
make a recommendation, I would really appreciate it.  Thanks!

    KHSE is crushing WLW on my DKAZ array and audible u/WLW on truck rx (Omni

religion. Call ID's start just after ToH in EE and then given in SS. Location

strange for a religious station.

KSHE gets out well in this direction in spite of only 1.5 kW day power as they

Patrick, we are in Seattle on our way home from a cruise that started in Seward 
and ended in Vancouver, BC.  I did some "DXing Lite", but as it was right at 
the solstice, was pleased to hear anything. With the extended daylight and 
twilight hours there, listening seemed to be very, very long sunset skip

truly the case or wishful thinking on my part? Regardless, a fun trip on all

One of the local Puget Sound area pest stations has provided a big thrill for a 
Japanese DXer. Hiroyuki Okamura of Yokosuka, Japan has posted a video of his 
reception of 1470-CJVB (Vancouver, BC) across the Pacific on his new "barefoot" 
3" FSL Tecsun PL-380 model last night. Hiroyuki seems thrilled by his "Science 
Fiction PL-380" catch-- maybe one man's pest is another's treasure?

If nothing else, seeing the circuit boards they use to make a transmitter 
"wobble" would be educational.  Not to mention figuring out what the thinking 
behind this highly unusual mode actually is.


DXpedition from eastern end of Cuba would also be interesting, i.e. what 
US/Canada stations, Caribbeans, South / Central Americans, and TA's would you 
typically hear?  Would they even let a potential "spy" radio like a Perseus, 
Excalibur, or Elad into the country (not to mention the PC to run it)?  
Ultralight with FSL might also get dirty looks.


Downtime could entail making a photo gallery of the world's biggest living 
museum of classic cars.

Yes, this is DX related - let me explain!

I had lunch today with Rick Lucas, who's just back from a two-week tour of 
Cuba. At least for now, US regulations require that US citizens visiting Cuba 
have an educational purpose for their trip, which typically means a lot of 
"person-to-person" activities like meeting farmers and watching dance troupes 
and such. (Canadians and others can go to Cuban resorts and lounge on the beach 
if they so desire...)

But it occurred to us that if we could get enough DXers and other radio folk 
together, it might be possible to organize a trip that would focus on Cuban 
radio - visiting studios and transmitter sites, interacting with Cuban radio 
people and DXers, meeting with Arnie Coro, and so on.

I'm not going quite so far (yet!) as to bid for a Havana convention in 2017 or 
2018...but I'm curious to find out whether anyone else would be interested in a 
hypothetical week-long trip next winter. If there's interest, I'd be willing to 
reach out to the tour companies that have licenses to organize Cuba trips to 
see what the next steps might be.

So...any interest?

When I lived in northern California, Radio Rossii on 279 was fairly dependable 
and a good friend.  It didn't interfere with NDB chasing, was well programmed 
and the announcer was sooo mellow.  The other frequencies were hit or miss, but 
always fun to chase.  After moving to Tucson, 279 was the only one that was 
able to make the trip and was sporadic at best.  Time and radio move on.

Seeing reports of TA activity I finally thought to give it a try 
tonight, using my N/S and E/W longwires. Lots of MW hets though nothing 
close to producing audio, but LWBC doing much better. It's probably been 
5 years since I moved from the Oregon site where I had longwires and had 
some decent LWBC reception, so it's very nice to see I can also get some 
of that again here, much farther south. The S9 to S9+10 constant storm 
static tonight isn't helping, but I am hearing some audio.

near Sahuarita, AZ

R75; 750' N/S and 950' E/W longwires (both do about the same for these 
TA LWBC, I note.)


(153 strong het but can't pull any audio out; almost seems like just the 
carrier is left on with no modulation?)

162 France very poor/poor on peaks 0418

171 Morocco poor 0430

252 Ireland weak on peaks, would be perfectly readable except for the S9 
static. 0413 to present (0446) utc.

(Weak hets on 189 and 198; hard to tell above that due to NDB carriers 
every 1 kHz; 252 is strong enough to easily produce audio.)

Colin,  Last year my wife and I rented a small cabin near Honokaa on the Big 
Island for our anniversary.  I packed my Winradio SDR and an active antenna and 
all the attendant power supplies, cables, etc.  I put all the "stuff" where it 
was immediately visible (not like I was trying to sneak something by our cranky 
TSA agents here) along with a super brief explanation and a copy of my ham

It's been 4 years since I have flown to Hawaii -- and "way back when" I did not 
spend that much time stressing about which radio to take, carry on board or 
check in luggage in mini pelican cases...

Just wondering if anything has changed.
In 2010 I loaded up a Lowe-Pro jumbo camera bag with around 10 pounds of stuff: 
EtonE1, Wellbrook antennas, power supplies, cameras and a ham radio license 
displayed prominently on top of the heap.

Other than a swab of one of the radios, I found the TSA to be cheerful and good 
humored - one even pointed out that his uncle was a ham. 

I imagine carrying a Gary DeBock modded URL will hardly raise and eye brow in a 
much smaller bag. 

I might actually put an extra radio in a mini pelican case in checked luggage.

Merry Christmas everyone!

No question at all that Hawaii is a great spot ... for DXing too.  :-)   My 
thoughts were more based on specific locations given that most of the islands 
have significant signal blocking volcanic ridges.  When I was last on the Big 
Island (near Honoka'a, NE side), I had a killer spot for all but to the east, 
but ended up with inescapable noise for a solar power system.  "Due diligence" 
will be job #1 next time!

much time for setup).

I know there is only 3-4 hours of "night", but I'd love to log Greenland

Any suggestions?

 Subject: [IRCA] Five DXer Session at the Rockwork Cliff
   
    It's safe to say that this morning's ocean cliff transoceanic propagation 
provided a real thrill for all five of us. Despite the need to dodge the 
squatters and spread out over three different Highway 101 turnoffs, the 
exceptional Kiwi propagation reminded us again how unique this wild cliff can 
be.

    Antenna setup in total darkness right next to total strangers is never 
boring, and this morning Tom and Chuck needed some reasonable space to set up 
their broadband loops. When I drove up at 1150 (0450 local time) I noticed that 
Tom was setting up at Rockwork 4, and Chuck at Rockwork 3 (apparently along 
with Nick, who was testing out propagation at various places with verticals). 
By now Craig had become fully accustomed to my vehicle, and he showed up at a 
perfect time to follow me to Rockwork 6, which had just enough space in between 
the squatters to set up four large FSL's and PVC bases.

    After enjoying 6 days of thrilling DU-DX on the cliff Craig had become a 
pretty skillful live DXer and Baby FSL user, and by now he was fully capable of 
running independently on his own. During the DXpedition he had switched to a 
new-design, TSA friendly 3.5" FSL with a rubber locking collar to keep all the 
ferrite rods securely in place-- and he was using it to track down almost as 
much DU-DX as I was. He alerted me when stations on 531, 585, 936 and 1017 were 
coming in, and mentioned that this type of DXing was so thrilling that he 
needed to book a return trip next August right away.

    After the session all 5 DXers got together at Rockwork 4 to discuss the 
exceptional results.  1 kW Kiwi stations like 936-Chinese Voice were as strong 
as they've ever been, with Nick mentioning reception of 540-Rhema (a 
low-powered NZ network). Tom said he had great Kiwi conditions all over the 
band, so after he and Chuck review their Perseus files this DXpedition could 
well compete for the all-time Kiwi MW-DX record on the west coast (established 
here in July of 2014).

    Photos from this morning's session are posted at  
https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/0wxcc0b1cvt3220ir7htdouddcmnngp4  (Craig, Chuck, 
Tom and Nick at Rockwork 4) and at

All good comments - my current reluctance to join the SDR crowd is the expense

For me, another strike against is the whole concept of scooping a swath of 
spectrum and “listening to” or searching it “later on...”

I work - and I have zero time for hunching over a laptop and snooping through 
WAV files looking for DX that happened 8-12 hours earlier. 

Maybe when I’m retired. 

I am amped about getting a BeagleBone webSDR up an running from my QTH but was 
choked when I looked at how expensive it was to get one to CANADA around 
twice the price of one in the USA.

I’ll revisit that soon - the idea of having a self contained web receiver with 
a dedicated processor is appealing. Having an SDR that is dépendant on the 
whims of Bill Gates and Windows holds ZERO appeal. Unlink thé receiver concept 
from a Windows O/S and I’m in.

Nice TOH ID from KMSD at 2200 MST on both the "regular" radio and barefoot ULR. 
1060 is all presumed XEEP.

Paul,

Thanks for the tips on the outages on 1510 and 1550. I started listening at 
6:49 PM (0049 UTC). As of 8:23 PM (0223 UTC), both KCKK and KKCL are still off. 
I just got a nice CL ID from KMSD, presumably on CH power of 1 kW, over/under 
WLAC.

73,

 OK, now you've got me feeling old.  My Mom used to take me shopping at that 
Bullocks. A classy joint!

 Kind of interesting that Bullocks Department Store owned KNN, much like 
Wanamakers Department Store in Philidelphia owned WOO.

The former Bullocks Wilshire building in Los Angeles will house the new Academy 
Motion Picture Arts Museum, opening soon.
