The beacon LYQ on 529Khz from Manchester, Tenn, appears to be fully functional now. There is a slow morse code LYQ followed by complete location and now with weather data and a aircraft frequency given for incoming flights. First noted with new complete format a few weeks ago but was good again

Nice photos, Bob, I wonder how upset my neighbors would be if I put one of those up in the back yard, hi, hi. I would have to scan it, but I have a picture of the Deutsche Telekom antenna farm at Jülich and that is quite impressive as well. 73 Joe On Wed, 2 Apr 2008 07:44:58 -0700 (PDT), Bob

[IRCA] Pattern change times

2008-04-05 Thread Craig Healy
With the last license renewal, the change to night pattern in June changed from 8:30pm to 8:15pm EDT. The 8:30pm time was consistent across all my local clients. Has anyone else noticed a change in night pattern switch times? The legal department of WDDZ reported that it's probably a computer

[IRCA] Antenna update

2008-04-05 Thread Patrick Martin
Hi Bill, The beverage non terminated does have a different pattern on some frequencies and the splatter is worse from the two Astoria statons, especially KAST; so I don't know if I will leave it non terminated or not. Some frequencies seem quietier, with the daytime noise level lower for some

Pat, Now that your beverage is not terminated, how well would reception be towards the West? The bogs I have setup at Grayland are not terminated and pickup Southeast ok. Was surprised on my last visit to hear the Texan station on 1700 with a nice signal. Since your beverage is elevated

Dennis, With a beverage I have found, the lower to the ground the better for directivity. I don't like having to elevate it, but I don't have a choice, but the beverage does have more gain having it elevated. I have not checkd out the directivity to the West as yet. I will leave it unterminated

Fairly similar to yesterday; listened from 1315 to 1330UT, and continue to note the quick fading up and down of signals, in this case, mostly the Japanese and Korean powerhouses, though 1314 kHz had a quick fade up at one point also. Apparently, there was a peak on 612 earlier than this that
