Re: [IRCA] PL300WT (also received today, from anon-co, with manual)

I received my PL300WT today, from anon-co. It came with an English Operation Manual consisting of 9 pages of 8 1/2 x 11 paper and is an obvious photocopy of a smaller version. I haven't had time yet to do more than put in batteries and tune around for a couple of minutes. I was pleased to be

[IRCA] TA/TP Wed/Thurs

I again remembered to check for traces of TA last night, and started at 0438 utc. 738 with very poor aural het, 1566 with very poor het, 1008 with just traces heard. But 1008 gradually came up and made very poor at 0443 and was stronger than 783 briefly then faded away and didn't return. 1566

[IRCA] Possible west coast TA signs

Tonight I remembered to check earlier for any TA signs. 0436 utc had poor/weak het on 1566, 1008 and 783. 783 improved to weak around 0515 utc, but decreased from then on. The other two disappeared, and 783 was just a trace at 0545 utc. Steve NE Oregon

Re: [IRCA] more minimalist TA (783) and morning DU check

Despite heavy continuous static, S9+10 to +20, I had weak aural 783 het from about 0530-0615 utc. Nothing anywhere else. On LW even stronger NDBs drowned out by the strong static. This morning had 891 DU poor/weak at 1200 utc, lots of other hets but not close to audio. But at 1212 utc 738 was

Re: [IRCA] continuing minimalist TA

I didn't remember to check until 0520 utc, 1566 had a poor aural het; 783 a medium het. 1566 is now gone but 783 continues with a weak het, 0546 utc. Steve NE Oregon - Original Message - From: Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America

[IRCA] NE Oregon, Friday, DU and 1710 Russian

891 DU poor at 1220 utc. 1710 Russian decent, (weak/medium), 1140-1150, fading to poor/weak after that, back weak again 1225, continuing, presently poor to very poor 1248. Yesterday had what could have been a short interval signal then possible ID, right at 1200 utc but apparently was just

Re: [IRCA] Possible Russian satellite programming on 1710??

Are we possibly jumping the gun here in thinking the programming is from Russia? Walt has already emphasized the 1710 station is airing Christian programming in the Russian language. It seems unlikely to me that a non-Christian country, Russia, would be broadcasting a Christian program on

[IRCA] 1710 Russian good tonight

The 1710 Russian is pretty good reception this evening, with little fading, 0430-0450 utc, weak/medium on peaks. Apparently I am the farthest to hear it so far; Dennis calculated about 250 miles. Steve NE Oregon ___ IRCA mailing list

Re: [IRCA] 1710 music and woman in Russian

I casually know a ham in the Blaine, WA area; I've just emailed him requesting his help in checking 1710. We'll see what develops from that. Signal weak to medium here this morning the past hour. Usual brief fadeups to decent level, with man with what sounded like impassioned preaching earlier,

[IRCA] 1710, nothing heard in Blaine, WA at 1428 utc

Wayne McFee, NB6M, in Blaine, WA reports nothing heard on 1710 at 1428 utc. Says he'll try again at other times. (No info on equipment used.) Steve (I'm hearing the carrier, 1510 utc, 1709.990) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] 1710 carriers in Alberta

I too am getting it at 1709.982 today, 1255 utc, well into daylight. Carrier fades up and down in strength, medium to strong at times, when there is then very poor audio. This is beginning to look like close enough for (barely) groundwave reception here. Steve NE Oregon - Original Message

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Sunday + 1710 observations

1116 with DU this morning, a woman and man talking with call-in woman; at end man with 4BC at 1220 utc. Not often I get a legal ID on this, very nice. Nothing but a het on 891, my other DU freq. The 1710 signal continues to show a good het, well into daylight, with little fading now,

[IRCA] 1710 signal still there, early morning

Re: [IRCA] 1710 carriers in Alberta (1605 utc check)

That was the Russian station. I was able to monitor it until about 1605 utc and the freq at that time was the same as your frequency. Wish I could have stayed another couple of hours. Just home again and checking, 2130 utc, and can't find it. Steve NE Oregon - Original Message - From:

Re: [IRCA] 1710 carriers in Alberta (Nick receives it still at 1920utc)

Hi Nick, This might be an important bit of information, your hearing the carrier so late, 1920utc. Maybe you can continue to check for it throughout the daytime, if you have the time, and see if it stays all day or eventually goes away. I was off to church this morning and couldn't stay around

Re: [IRCA] 1710 carrier

I'm finally hearing the carrier once again--I think it's mainly the noise level has decreased a little from the afternoon, to allow hearing it again. 0009 utc. It's very weak. (Hearing it aurally with the 6Hz narrow audio filter switched in.) Appears to be close to 1709.990. Steve NE Oregon

[IRCA] 1710 multiple carriers and audio tonight

I'm hearing what appears to be two separate audios on 1710 tonight. And two carriers, the Russian on 1709.986, and a new one on 1710.012. Both are poor/weak plus there is almost continuous heavy static. 0458 utc. Steve NE Oregon ___ IRCA mailing

Re: [IRCA] 1710 music and woman in Russian

Am hearing the woman in Russian now, 0525utc, poor/weak. But there's an echo on it, just a few milliseconds apart, just enough to give an echo effect. No sign of the now-weaker second signal, though the carrier is easily heard with narrow audio filter. Chorale music just began, 0529 utc with
