[IRCA] Japanese AMs switching to FM

I've been noticing a great push of Japanese AM stations adding FM stations in the extended Japanese FM band upwards of 90 MHz, most of them from 90 to 95. I had originally created my Seoul bandscan over the summer and had exhaustively added details of FM stations running parallel but have

[IRCA] North Korean AM FM restructuring

More news from the North Korean radio restructuring, this on AM and FM. 1) The Pyongyang FM network is now defunct. Both the Kaesong and Haeju affiliates in the Seoul area had been off prior to this. 2) Existing Pyongyang FM signals have been added to the newly-expanded Pyongyang Bangsong

Re: [IRCA] Japanese AMs switching to FM

Thanks for that, Chris. Google translate did a great job translating the web page. Very easy to understand, and as I see it, for now, there doesn't seem to be any danger of Japanese stations leaving AM. Yes, STV is one of the major networks, and easily heard during DXpeditions, especially to

[IRCA] Flying from Canada to Hawaii

It's been 4 years since I have flown to Hawaii -- and "way back when" I did not spend that much time stressing about which radio to take, carry on board or check in luggage in mini pelican cases... Just wondering if anything has changed. In 2010 I loaded up a Lowe-Pro jumbo camera bag with

[IRCA] Graveyard AMs

Does one of the clubs keep a record of members who've heard these? What's the record? I'm not a member but I logged a 1kw graveyarder from 2100 miles away. Paul ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] Graveyard AMs

Yikes! But graveyard frequencies, by the definition I understood them to be, are 1230 1240 1340 1400 1450 and 1490 Paul On Sun, Dec 25, 2016 at 3:28 PM R. Colin Newell wrote: > I think one of the records is a 40W CBC repeater on 540 being heard in > Australia. > > > >

Re: [IRCA] Graveyard AMs

TIS stations and repeaters often use 530,540 and 1610 and provide some of the best DX. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC > On Dec 25, 2016, at 4:29 PM, Paul B. Walker, Jr. > wrote: > > Yikes! But graveyard frequencies, by the definition I

Re: [IRCA] Question: Tecsun PL310ET

Walt - You'll never be able to plug an HDMI cable into a USB socket - they have vastly different dimensions, Just use whatever USB cable has the right connector (assumedly USB micro but maybe USB mini) for your radio. But as you say any USB power adaptor will likely be OK. The difference

Re: [IRCA] Question: Tecsun PL310ET

John, presumably you would use a mini HDMI cable or the like to run 5.5 v from any USB plug. No need to buy a special plug, in all likelihood. 73, Walt On Sunday, December 25, 2016, John Stephens wrote: > I have just purchased a Tecsun PL-310ET mini portable and am very

[IRCA] Question: Tecsun PL310ET

I have just purchased a Tecsun PL-310ET mini portable and am very pleased with the performance, during preliminary DX sessions, thus far. Mentioned in the Tecsun User's Manual was a USB batter charger. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this item that is compatible with this radio? This

Re: [IRCA] Graveyard AMs

I know we've had some good ones from Newfoundland. 1230 Argentina comes to mind, and it's fairly regular from there. The NRC keeps graveyard distance records on 1230,1240,1340,1400,1450 and 1490. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY On Dec 25, 2016 19:42, "R. Colin Newell" wrote:

Sorry about that. One of those "whatchamacallit plugs", like we use to charge phones and cameras! ;-). Walt On Sunday, December 25, 2016, Chuck Hutton wrote: > Walt - > > > You'll never be able to plug an HDMI cable into a USB socket - they have > vastly different
