[IRCA] Super loop day 3

Hello Folks, First I would like to take this opportunity to thank John and Kevin for testing out the K9AY and Super Loop arrays at Grayland. The original development of the K9AY array goes back at least 5 years, when I was experimenting with an early design of the Broadband Phasing unit.

[IRCA] Ewe 2 and TA report

Santa disguised as UPS employee dropped off a Tecsun PL310 from Hong Kong and a Wellbrook FLG100 unit from the UK yesterday. The plan is to upgrade my lonely Ewe with the Wellbrook unit. In that I use twin feed for feeding the ewe, and the unit is equipped with bnc connectors, I'll have to

Re: [IRCA] Want an SX-88?

Bert; And I thought that the SX-62 that I saw on eBay about 3-4 years ago, was way overpriced at $600. :) I always went gaga over the latter SX models, even when I was a kid. 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 4 Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 21:26:21 -0500 From: Ira Elbert New

[IRCA] Great sense of relief

I am rapidly becoming the poster boy for the Great Senior Moment-ism Movement. My problem with the missing photo album turns out to be the fact that some time ago I consolidated photos from a couple of albums into one thick album ... and my memory told me the photos were still in the older

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-4.. Better at Asian Sunset

Hello All, As the November TP propagation changes to favor the 0800-0930 UTC Asian sunset period, there was a great difference in TP signal strengths observed here this morning when comparing that very productive period with the almost negligible sunrise enhancement. Around 0910 UTC

[IRCA] TP for 4 Nov from Victoria, BC

Not an astonishing morning by any stretch, but lots of small signals that could provide payback with some digginga new one here was (were?) the NHK1 synchros on 963, briefly on top with the quiet musical interlude that seems to be played regularly at 1420UT. Listened from 1410 to after

Re: [IRCA] 1510 Boston and what about-

I spent some time at Goethe-Institut (fuer Deutscher Sprache) in 1965. Back then the frequency was 1439. Many of the students, if not listening to Bayerischer Rundfunk for language proficiency, would gather in the library after dinner and a big Telefunken console would belt out the latest hits

Re: [IRCA] Great sense of relief

John, Thank Goodness you found them. I remember helping you to carry the albums back to your room that evening. I know where you are coming from. Even at 60, I am not as sharp memory-wise as I used to be. It was sure great to see you again John. Keep well my friend. 73, Patrick Patrick

Mr. Callarman--I was very elated to read that you found your photographs! I was hoping that they would turn up somewhere. We were all very happy to have you join us at the IRCA convention. While on the subject, Mr. Wien who helped me greatly in the hosting of the event is still missing some of

[IRCA] Really Odd AM Reception

OK. This may be completely psychological, but it is unnerving. At the risk of sounding like a Coast-to-Coast AM caller, something weird is going on. I live 31 miles from High Island where WCBS and WFAN transmit from (NYC area.) The New Jersey swamp stations are slightly farther away. As the
