[IRCA] Japanese DXers Arrive for Rockwork 4 DXpedition

The famous Japanese DXers Hiroo Nakagawa and Satoshi Miyauchi have arrived to participate in the Rockwork 4 DXpedition.here in Oregon state. Tonight the full DXpedition team (Tom Rothlisberger, Nick Hall-Patch, the Japanese guests and me) had a wonderful welcoming dinner at the aptly-named

All; The driver was the problem. I have just solved the problem by deleting the device from device manager and reinstalling with a different driver that it likes with a little trickery (it's unsigned). Ready for Cliffside action in the AM. Today's conditions were underwhelming with the often

A few comments on Chuck's rules. To step 5, I would restart the PC after it's powered down, run a few key programs, then shut it down. I've found from experience that weird things occasionally happen when a computer boots up so this is one further sanity check. There's a notorious malware

Re: [IRCA] First Rockworks impression

FWIW, I just updated to Win10 a few days ago. The Perseus works fine with the Perseus software and HDSDR. It will also work with Studio1, but at the moment the software receives KIRO-710 regardless of the frequency I have entered. I have the same problem with the Elad, so it's a software

Re: [IRCA] First Rockworks impression

Having tried other things, did you try to install unsigned drivers in Win 10? It can be done, but takes a little trickery. When it rains, it pours - the entire Microtelecom site seems to be down. Were it up, the new (2016) signed drivers are at

Re: [IRCA] First Rockworks impression

You got it Chuck, Laptop will not recognize the Perseus hardware. Been trying drivers all day to no avail. Zadig installer included. The signed drivers by Nico are a dead link. Huge Win 10 update installed uncommanded on July 4 while visiting Denver with the laptop. No restore point created. I

Re: [IRCA] First Rockworks impression

A Win 10 update caused the Perseus to mute? OK, unmute it But I get the feeling that you don't mean mute in the normal sense where audio was stopped by a button push. What did happen, so we can be forewarned? I'll take a wild guess... It wouldn't talk to the PC? If so, maybe it tossed

Re: [IRCA] 850 Minnesota

Steve, I'm not aware of any daytimers on 850 that were given sunset + 2 hours. KFUO in Clayton (St. Louis), Missouri (Neil, I think this is the station you were thinking of earlier) is allowed to stay on until sunset in Denver, but, AFAIK, every other daytimer on 850 -- WQRM included --

Tom and I were honored to welcome our first international participant to the cliff this morning (well, OK, Nick of Victoria, BC).  Fortunately we had the Highway 101 turnoff to ourselves for antenna setup this morning, but Nick encountered a typical Rockwork 4 session featuring rain, wind and

Never have to worry about DXpeditioning again. Make all your mistakes in the comfort of your own home, and never have to reveal them to anyone. The house nearest to the cliffs in on the market: http://www.cascadesothebysrealty.com/prop/38650-beulah-reed-rd-manzanita-or-97130-15223121 (in the

Better yet: do what I do - avoid PC based/powered SDR's... That tie you to update/reboot crash cycles. Many of my analog radios have been on for decades and have never needed reboots or firmware updates. Harrumph! Now get off my cliffs. :-) Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria -

Hmmm, New Zealand you say. Why, yes, one or two. Both Tom and I suffered minor disasters, but I think we've recorded a few bits of DX just the same. I know I heard Trackside on 549 and 828 plus Sport on 693, 774 and 792...but not 1503; conditions really favored the bottom of the band. More

What a great call-letter - WQRM. I wonder if they have a clue what QRM means to ‘radio people?’ As one who has seen what FCC de-funding of inspections and enforcement have done over the past 30 years I am never surprised when a station is called out for ‘cheating’ but rarely dealt with by the
