[IRCA] TP 15 Aug Victoria version.

2018-08-15 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Still lots of splashy interference this morning, and conditions were pretty 
exclusively Asian, best long before sunrise. 4QR  later was the only DU 
contingent.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

594 came close, as did 1566





Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


594 JOAK woman and man in Japanese 1233UT

612 4QR woman on phone to man in studio 1251UT, DU English

1566  HLAZ  1206UT, man in Chinese.  Only briefly at 1237UT at this level with 
choral music during the Japanese program.




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

747 JOIB piano music //774 1136UT

774  JOUB English lessons 1222UT

1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1149UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by 
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)  

891 man talking, Japanese intonation 1203UT

972 two men talking, possibly Korean, then into female pop vocal 1139UT




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

729 828 855 864 1206 1323 1575   seemed to be Asian; 
567 1017 1098  1548 seemed to be DU 



best wishes,

Nick

I’ve been corrected: yes, it has RC phase shifting...  hence Time delay.

Thank you Nick.

Reminder to folks: the “Norton Commando” phaser is in heavy beta and 
proofing and uses, for example, CERAMIC (Cermet) potentiometers... and I 
want to make sure these are durable and reliable before I roll out the 
product. Happiness will be guaranteed.

Uhm. No time delay or flux capacitors that I’m aware of -

It’s a refinement on the classic Misek-Lankford phaser with improvements 
from Ratzlaff, Hall-Patch and yours truly.

Colin's phaser is here for my tests. I will return it to Nick at the
convention in MO.

I hope the unit is designed with time delay circuitry so it will have

Classic phasing demonstration with local WRKO-680 Boston (tx Burlington, MA) in 
null, allowing reception of WAPA San Juan, Puerto Rico with "Poderosa" slogan 
and "WAPA" ID.  Null depth illustrated by taking phaser out of null twice, 
showing WRKO with talkshow. 

5 AUG 2004 at 0005 UTC from Granite Pier - Rockport, MA, USA

WRKO is 50 kW at 33 miles / 53 km.  Distance to WAPA approximately 1700 miles / 
2735 km.
