[IRCA] TP 16 Sep Victoria version

Some solid signals from the old guard Asians this morning, from long before sunrise. But, not much in the way of second tier stations, and some Aussies also crept in as well. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 972 HLCA man and woman in

Re: [IRCA] September 17 TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada - the money shots

My VACTROL sweeps from around 120 ohms (and that is a design thing that I can change/lower) to around 3 K ohms. I find my actual sweep of useful termination resistances are between 750 and 950 ohms - I have not yet done a complete calibration on my current prototype (and I am building 3 more

If you should have gotten up one day this week, this was likely it - Good 1st and 2nd tier performance from many of the regular Japanese stations with stellar performances on some of the Korean regulars -- and even an odd appearance from some actual programming on 1053 above the jammer! In order

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-17

Thanks to Colin for his initial report, and I certainly can agree with him that Asian signals improved quite dramatically this morning. Both the Japanese and Korean big guns reached good levels across the band, and there were a few unusual stations that showed up. For the first time this season

Nice stuff! How much Rt variation do you have to do across the band with the vactrol to optimize F/B? 73 KAZ -Original Message- >From: "R. Colin Newell" >Sent: Sep 17, 2015 10:57 AM >To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America

Re: [IRCA] September 17 TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada - the money shots

My personal preference is to avoid those 10 turn pots. They aren't needed if you don't require a wide range, and I don't have any use for resistances below 700 and above 1200. Therefore, I use a 470 Ohm resistor in series with a 500 Ohm pot. It still requires a careful adjustment but is not

Re: [IRCA] September 17 TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada - the money shots

According to Gary Debock, it was likely Japan -- Makes sense - lots of Japanese stations this AM. The N. Korea is a megawatt -- how powerful are the S. Korean jammers? On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 4:27 PM, Chuck Hutton wrote: > > > Sedate chat on North Korea? Almost unheard of!

Re: [IRCA] September 17 TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada - the money shots

Pay no attention to the powers for North Korea transmitters! I don't think anyone knows the power for the jammer(s). Oddly enough, they don't seem to have publicized the power or notified the ITU. My guess is about 100 kW. And yes, it would be Japan as they are the very normal occupant of the
