Re: [IRCA] 940 UNID (more)

Pardon my error in the previous post about 940 It's XEQ, not XEQR! Now I am hearing the Mexican National Anthem at 0600 UTC, after having already heard it at 0500. There's also a second Spanish station, and the two stations are in long fades together of over 10 minutes. XEQ seems to be playing

Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY 0500 UTC, NOV 7 2016 940 Seems to be last night's Latin UNID again. At 0500 I heard the Mexican National Anthem, so likely XEQR. But I am mystified that the anthem would be played at 11:00 PM Mexico Time instead of midnight. Is Mexico still on daylight time? A web

That "CBS Radio Network, Channel 41" is a placeholder on the satellite system that CBS abs Westwood One use to send content to affiliates. Based on when you heard it, I'd bet it's someone who was carrying football and their automation didn't switch away when the game ended. Beyond that... who

Had basically the same here, Les. Noted from 2008EST with same loop. I DFed it and it nulled roughly NNE from here in the Gainesville, FL area. Good signal, but with fades. I heard WPTF on the channel at 2025 when I tuned out, thinking it might have been them. David Potter C Crane Skywave

[IRCA] Anomaly on 680 KHz

While walking the dogs tonight, at around 7:18 PM Central Time I heard a strong tone on 680 Khz followed by a male announcer, “CBS Radio Network-Channel 41”. This repeated over and over for about 20 minutes then ended abruptly at about 7:40 PM. After that, I heard only a dead carrier under

Re: [IRCA] Fishbarrel harvesting big Atlantic fish

You could say that. Domestics have been an afterthought for the last couple of hours, suffering the outrage of transAtlantic assaults. Many 9 kHz channels are occupied by a strong signal which a few moments later becomes an afterthought as something thunders into its place. Huge fun. best

Re: [IRCA] WC Nov 5 snapshot - SDR shoot-out

I forgot to note that those recording rates are for using the ELAD at a bandwidth of 1536 KHz, which covers the AM band. If I went up to the full 6144 MHz bandwidth possible, it would use up 4X the disk space in the same amount of time. Mark On 2016-11-06 10:48 am, Mark Pettifor wrote:

Re: [IRCA] WC Nov 5 snapshot - SDR shoot-out

Another thing to consider, which you've heard myself and others talk about, is disk space needed if you make recordings. I use mainly 3 different softwares for listening / recording: SDR Console, HDSDR, and the software that came with the ELAD, FDM-SW2. Each one has it's pros and cons, and

Re: [IRCA] WC Nov 5 snapshot - SDR shoot-out

My point was that for recording (capturing) large amounts of bandwidth for FM you need something more powerful. When I ran the Perseus on a netbook it worked fine for MW captures (up to the max) but suffered badly when trying to make FM captures. Keith On 11/6/2016 8:24 AM,

Hi Barry, I don't know when you checked the PEI DX Fishbarrel, but it should have been running all night here, which would have included your local sunrise in the UK.It will likely be offline during broad daylight here, but will likely start up again around 1700UT to look for the pre-sunset
