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] 15 September TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada

Colin & Craig - Principles don't need to be similar - a Vactrol can terminate a Beverage, DKAZ flag, loop, delta, etc. Are you really using a flag or is it a corner fed loop? And yes, the K9AY system uses a termination box with a Vactrol. The Wellbrook version had several flavors, but the one

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] DKAZ Antenna

This is a repeat of my earlier comment to Nick, where I guessed / thought that the minima does not really move. Ad I see it, the issue here is that the best null is the sharpest (narrowest) null. If you want a null to cover something off to the side a bit, you can indeed mis-terminate and get a

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] DKAZ Antenna

Modelling numbers for a 20 x 140 DKAZ to back up what I said:- best null is -42 dB and the -6 dB null width is 72 degrees.- lower the termination by 80 Ohms and the best null (straight off the back) is only -29 dB but the 6 dB null width jumps up to 106 degrees. Chuck From:

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] DKAZ Antenna

Nick - Are you saying the DKAZ null can actually be steered? If so, how much?Or are you saying that deepening the null at 180 degrees means that the null at other angles near 180 benefit from the deeper 180 null? (Assumedly the latter. I've not been able to steer a DKAZ null, only improve it a

[IRCA] Slightly revised 2013 Newfoundland DXpedition report

I just realized that some of the graphics were missing in the map of Argentina, leaving just a plain old map with no station markings. Here's a revised version for those that can't resist a good map: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjok68gn9ocw8j0/NEWFOUNDLAND%202013%20SHORT%20REPORT.pdf?dl=0 Chuck

Nigel - I was not recording from 1142 to 1155 so can't really speak to your unid. However, from 1158 onward, a quick scan showed BBC WS was in and out. The Australian is 100% Italian so this must be NZ's Otago Access Radio that carries BBC WS. Chuck From: nige2...@telus.net To:

Gary- At 1325 the music is clearly parallel to ABC on 612, 774 and 855 so this must be Wagin, West Australia. Not a bad catch. I haven't checked earlier files so maybe I have audio to prove the identity of your 1312 recording. Chuck Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2015 04:23:23 + From:
