Re: [IRCA] WZON Throwback Weekend

Music carriles through most talk stations which makes it easier to figure that music station out. Would be kind of cool of a dx test could be thrown into the music. Todd Skaine On Oct 18, 2016 2:44 PM, "Mike Sanburn" wrote: Looking at website for sports station WZON

[IRCA] WZON Throwback Weekend

Looking at website for sports station WZON 620 in Bangor Maine, seems they have a Throwback Weekend now and play tunes from the days when they were Z62. There is a button to click on the site to listen live. 'Seems to be a trend lately. I believe WABC 770 in New York was even doing it for a

Re: [IRCA] A great question from the YL

What's funny at this end is that I have two DXing rock stars, Salmaniw and Hall-Patch that have been espousing the benefits of SDR for years And I have been more averse to reason than the two current Presidential candidates... :-) Anyway. The times, they are a changing. On Tue, Oct 18, 2016

Re: [IRCA] A great question from the YL

For me it is also the quality of the rx. Quite frankly, the Perseus is superior to anything else I ever used and that includes R8A/B and AOR 7030+. Yesterday I wrote that near sunrise it is usual to get XEDP mixing with KGNC here on 710. Note that I live 12 miles from WGN's 50 kW ND across

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-18

Asian signals improved significantly this morning as several second-tier TP's joined the usual Japanese and Korean big guns during sunrise enhancement. 738-BEL2 was the star performer of the session here, managing its best signal of the season so far (good) with Chinese pop music and male

Re: [IRCA] A great question from the YL

I think every "radio" whether defined by software or bricks and mortar capacitors, resistors and diodes was always meant to be used in the moment. One of its greatest attributes is the ability to listen (and enjoy) live while analyzing the "World" around the station you are listening to - that

Re: [IRCA] A great question from the YL

You can indeed, and you can use the display function to identify frequencies where something unusual is present that needs to be investigated by listening. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modified Sony ICF2010's (4) barefoot w/whip FM: Yamaha T-80 & T-85, each w/

Re: [IRCA] A great question from the YL

Indeed a good question, and a good analysis. But bottom line, isn't it really about the ability to scan and record multiple frequencies at a time, and to also be able to visually spot things more easily so as to direct the search for DX ? Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id

Re: [IRCA] A great question from the YL

what a good question I like your conjecture and have a question -- can you use an SDR to listen "live "? I expect the answer is yes, and if so, is it suited to that use? Eric Floden Wondering BC ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] A great question from the YL

My wife asked me, after I quoted several DXer's including Robert Ross of Ontario who is helping me get a handle on SDR usage. The topic was: "Why are the new fleet of SDR's so much better that the classic radios of old?" I kid you not - my wife asked me this on the way to the University this
