Re: [IRCA] NRC Radio Log

NRC log is great for the price! In the old days the Vane Jones guide was the DX bible but as nice as that book was, it did not include addresses. The last Whites Radio Log that I bought was way out of date on many call changes. HIGHWAY RADIO by William Stank has a neat format showing the

I also use the heck out of Barry's website. The fuzzy call lookup is simply amazing. It normally deciphers about 90 percent of my sound like calls. I wish that there was a site as good as that for FM, with Slogan search and so on. Paul, the FCC db is nice to for power/pattern info. I also use

I use radio-locator because it shows me what towns the station covers and the distance it gets, the FCC stuff doesnt really give me that. City-Data is not terribly accurate on strongest stations heard. It once told me an AM Daytimer in Pittsburgh, PA put a good signal into Pembina, ND along the

[IRCA] Pathetically bad TP DX this morning

Yesterday morning was my best of the season for TP DX. This morning's recordings more than made up for it. I checked the SDR files and found carriers with threshold audio on 747 828 972 and 1566. That was about it. I'm sure glad I didn't get up early and try to DX in real time. Better
