Re: [IRCA] TA yet again in Victoria 30 November

2018-11-29 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Of course, this was the evening I was out, but the SDR labored away 
in my absence, to yield, not just 864, but amazingly, 25kw from Egypt 
on 1503 as well.


1503 Egypt, N. Sinai 0128UT Koranic recitation, weak but 
recognizable, and even more recognizable by being parallel to 864, 
which wasn't that strong either at the time, but strong enough.



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread Sylvain Naud
I just tried to remember how I managed to contact them and I think I 
went by the Jaguar Lite website http://jaguar-lite.blogspot.com/ and 
there is this email address at the top of the "Help" page 
jaguar4pers...@gmail.com. They ask 50 Euros for the Pro version which 
also include email support from an experimented user to help you in 
getting started. And if you're a little more geek in SDR, you can take 
part of the "development team" This is where you can test versions and 
bring your own suggestion to the developer. Thanks to Ilpo's 
receptiveness, the software is constantly evolving.


BTW, one of the reason I could "afford" getting in Jaguar Pro is that 
last year, I had to be confined at home for a three months period after 
a minor foot surgery. So I had aal the time to learn some of 
that thing. And I am still learning.

Re: [IRCA] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread Volodya S
So how does one get the full Jaguar package?   By invitation only?  I seem
to recall getting such in the early days, but was too overwhelmed with all
of the other products to seriously jump into it, then.   Now that I have
tonnes of SDR files, a simpler program to scan them would be most helpful!

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread Russ Edmunds
Interesting, Barry - I'm in a reverse situation -- I have too much
electrical noise and local RF noise to use an outdoor antenna and so I can
only DX TA's on DXpeditions, which we do once a year currently - it isn't
cold and it's less than 2 hours but now that I'm retired I have the time to
spend with the SDR recordings over the following months.

I'll pass on the Jaguar/Perseus discussion as I've used neither.

Re: [IRCA] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread Sylvain Naud
Agreed. Even though most of keyboard shortcuts are still active, 
nowadays there are many clickable / "hoverable" mouse functions 
throughout the software. As for the extensive documentation, the 
developer is doing his best to keep it updated with the new version(s). 
There is also much more now than the Jaguar icon that can be shown on 
the screen as one can customize its layout by adding a Filter or an 
Equalizer applet for instance, and both fully mouse controllable.

It's because Jaguar doesn't have the everything-on-one-screen thing of the
native Perseus software nor the menu+pulldowns of SDR Console.

Rather, you have to memorize some keyboard shortcuts to call up the
function you want. All that appears when you run the software isa Jaguar
icon at the bottom of the screen.


Caveat: I haven't played with the full Jaguar software in many years. I
doubt it has changed in terms of user interface as the scheme is considered
to be a philosophical basis of the product. I think this was a rejection of
the old fashioned way to structure a product, but the baby was thrown out

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, November 12-29, 2018

2018-11-29 Thread Glenn Hauser via IRCA
--- Begin Message ---
All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT` during EST; when 
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-05 UT period 
to the previous date by ELT].

Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S 
inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; IC-R75 
with E-W longwire.

These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives 
without much delay, such as 
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST: 
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html
 
All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open 
access:

[over 321,000 views! as of November 30, 2018]
   
These logs are [potentially] in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if 
any], rest of USA [if any], unidentified [if any], separated by === Within 
each, they are in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA. 640, Sunday Nov 25 at 1332 UT, dead air from KWPN Moore 
instead of silly sportstalk, but reducing CCI to KFI. Probably ran 
non-sports weekly pubaffs show at 1300 UT, and failed to resume when 
it finished; also plays out on sibling station 930 WKY in English 
instead of Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)



** U S A. 640, Nov 27 at 2132 UT I am bandscanning on caradio at a 
quiet parking lot in western Enid, finding dead air again from KWPN, 
but turning up the volume, somestation is audible under --- it must be 
WOI, public radio in Ames IA. I hasten to A/B with 91.7 KOSU to make 
it // during NPR ATC, but ``ESPN 1390`` blasts back on in less than a 
minute. Anyhow it would not be in // as WOI is amid BBC Newshour, no 
ATC there until 2200. TROTS: if OU had not stupidly sold off its 
legacy AM station, WNAD 640, today Oklahoma would have public radio on 
AM (and a lot better reception in the hinterlands than its low-power 
FM successor KGOU and satellites can muster) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 710, Nov 28 a 2038 UT, counting the SAH fades between KGNC 
Amarillo and KCMO Kansas City both on groundwave: 156/minute = 2.6 Hz. 
Again on caradio at a parking lot in western Enid.

1090, Nov 28 at 2040 UT, SAH here of 5 Hz, talk station vs music 
station. One is certainly KEXS Excelsior Springs MO, 10 kW, which 
barely makes it here by groundwave; the other could be KAAY Little 
Rock, starting skywave as it`s really too far for groundwave. No other 
1090s likely (a couple in further reaches of TX). (Glenn Hauser, Enid 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Nov 28 at 2101 UT, `The Tiger` ID after weak 
sportstalk, which I knew had to be KWKH Shreveport, as nearer KLEY 
Wellington KS is off the air again --- better than pulsing and 
breaking up as it did earlier this year, but seemed to have recovered 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1250, Nov 20 at 1348 UT, nulling KYYS, Spanish from Kansas 
City, I have a sports station in English, itself roughly N/S, talking 
about ``The Blitz``, which I assume is some local team, then 
commercial for Augie`s Barbecue, on Broadway. It seems there is no 
current Blitz team altho there used to be one in Chicago. Blitz may 
now be some sports-oriented promotional entity or non-turf game. 

Search on the BBQ however leads right to San Antonio TX, and I also 
heard ``1604`` mentioned, which is the outer loop around SA beyond I-
410. So this is KZDC, 25000/920 watts U4, major daylobe to NW. With 
ESPN. Fits since 1200 WOAI is also still in. Don`t recall hearing KZDC 
before, maybe a previous call? But it`s been KZDC since 1995! And I 
did last log it in March, 2015. Well legal now, post-sunrise at 1300 
UT in Nov (1315 UT in Dec) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1270, Nov 27 at 2138 UT, Spanish game report involving a 
pelota and a dominicano, so béisbol. Groundwave would render KRXO 
Claremore OK sports in English, so skywave from The Metroplex is 
already propagating 50 kW KFLC Benbrook TX atop any KRXO (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hello Rocco
I did 15 years+  travelling over 300 mile to the DX shack in the far North of 
Scotland. We put up 1200 foot Beverages. Switched on our cassette tape recorder 
and happily tuned thorough the night and got some great catches. I always 
returned home wondering what I had missed I am now 70 years old and could not 
take the strain anymore. Perseus+Jaguar means I can Dx at reasonable times 
after a good nights sleep and knowing I probably didn't miss anything. The new 
breed of communication means I yune in to WCNA without the long haul North.

Rocco, you have just analyzed and determined the primary factor behind the 
worldwide boom in Ultralight radio popularity, especially the concept of 
deploying to isolated ocean beaches with nothing but basic equipment and your 
own DXing skill. Congratulations on your insight!

[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, November 12-29, 2018

2018-11-29 Thread Glenn Hauser via IRCA
--- Begin Message ---
These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also 
VHF/UHF, sometimes utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without 
much delay, such as 
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and 
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open 
access:
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page72
[over 321,000 views! as of November 30, 2018]

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only 
or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan 
stock caradio as specified; ICR-75 with 00-foot E-W longwire.

** CUBA. 530, Nov 21 at 0259, silly ballgame in Spanish // 5025 
Rebelde, mixing with the EZL music from Enciclopedia. Two Rebeldes are 
listed, Guantánamo and Caribe, Isla Juventud, and I`ll settle for the 
closer. Also considerable het from 531: see ALGERIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALGERIA. 531, Nov 21 at 0300, considerable het to Cubans on 530, as 
I am starting a TA JBA carrier bandscan [see UNIDENTIFIED], and this 
turns out to be the strongest, with some music separable from 530, as 
always presumed to be the 600 kW Jil FM [sic], youth channel at 
F`Kirina, which is near the Tunisian border, 8899 km or 5529 statute 
miles from here. Nothing much on its 600 kW // 549 however, 551 km 
closer near the Moroccan border at Sidi Hamadouche (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 700, Nov 29 at 1304, YL in unknown language, partly Spanish 
mentioning ``Desarrollo de Pueblos Indígenas``, which is the federal 
agency running native stations I love to hear, then definite IDs 
pronounced in Spanish, XEETCH heard twice, and La Voz de los Tres 
Rios. That`s the 5 kW daytimer in Etchojoa, Sonora. Has growing SAH of 
128/min = 2.13 Hz in plain Spanish, likely XEGD in Hidalgo del Parral, 
Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 810, Nov 29 at 1308, looping SW, Mexican NA by 
kidchorus is playing; running late? 1310 losing to WHB and can`t make 
out an ID before ``-AM`` in Spanish. Then some Xmasmx, Greensleeves, 
1316 Merry Little Xmas in English so probably a third station. The 
only Mexfit is XERSV, Tribuna R., Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, 5 kW 
daytimer. (Tim Hall has confirmed that XESB in Chihuahua is gone.) 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, Nov 29 at 1321, canned YL ID as ``Canal Ochocientos 
Veinte, ABC Radio`` and back to romantic music, easily separable from 
WBAP at the moment, just before LSR of 1321 UT. It`s XEABCA in 
Mexicali BCN, which really gets out, and frequently non-IDs (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

972, 1098-W?, 1134, 1143 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1521, Nov 28 at 2044 UT, on my MW bandscan in western 
Enid, KOKC OKC has a JBA het upon it! Roughly 1 kHz, but I can`t tell 
exactly on caradio and whether it`s 1519 or 1521. Could the 2-megawatt 
Saudi be propagating this early? 

On NRD at home Nov 29 at 0044 UT, het is definitely from 1521. KSA 
quit running all-night and should be off by now unless that has 
changed. TA carriers are certainly in now on a quick check of 1215, 
1089, 882, 855, 774, 693.

ZNS 1540 Bahamas has also been reported spurious circa 1521 and 1559. 
Or it could yet be something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

Opinions 

Re: [IRCA] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread Chuck Hutton
Mark -


It's because Jaguar doesn't have the everything-on-one-screen thing of the 
native Perseus software nor the menu+pulldowns of SDR Console.

Rather, you have to memorize some keyboard shortcuts to call up the function 
you want. All that appears when you run the software isa Jaguar icon at the 
bottom of the screen.


Caveat: I haven't played with the full Jaguar software in many years. I doubt 
it has changed in terms of user interface as the scheme is considered to be a 
philosophical basis of the product. I think this was a rejection of the old 
fashioned way to structure a product, but the baby was thrown out with the bath 
water.

so far.a touch of the buzz on 1575, a touch 
of talk on 1386 (both around 2323UT)  and the 
occasional weak Koranic injunctions on 864 up to 
0006UT.  Quite a few carriers.  Sun is only 
setting now, 0020UT (or would be if it wasn't for 
the usual west coast gray concealing it).


I too will be out this evening, so it should be a snorter

Of course I will recommend the IRCA Mexican Log, which is nearly ready to be

I didn’t have more than a few minutes this AM - but between 1530 and 1540U the 
mid and upper band got quite bouncy with a vivacious SR and PSR lift. 

Overall very Chinese sounding with 1458, 1503, 1557, 1566, 1575 and 1593 
leading the rush in the upper end zone. 

Only one dropping the ball was me - having to rush off to breakfast and work.

HelloI agree with the comment:  I always felt like I was DXing through a 
microscope. The display means you only check sections of the recording. The new 
CUSTOM FREQS facility enable you to save the frequency setting you found best. 
The detailed frequency read out means you can discount or not stations before 
any audio peaks. True JAGUAR has a multiplicity of settings but to keep things 
simple I only use the ones that work for me. I paid around $50 for JAGUAR PRO 
and worth every Cent.

Best wishes

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread bill [his.com]
As long as we’re discussing Jaguar ...

I always felt like I was DXing through a microscope with it.  While other 
programs default to either a waterfall or peak-and-valley graph of a hunk of 
spectrum, Jaguar defaults to a microscopic view of the frequency you’re DXing.

I have used both full-bore Jaguar [a few years ago or more] and Jaguar Lite and 
was never able to overcome the learning curve with either.

Like Chuck said though, I do go back to Jaguar Lite every now and then to 
review wav files to see if I’ve missed something.

I have never really used the full power of Jaguar — particularly the analysis 
tools and such — though I REALLY liked the full-featured Mestor built-in that 
included all the things I wish the stand-alone version released years ago 
leaves out.

It was if Jaguar required a certain ’style’ of very serious DXing that I was 
just no in-sync with.  My fault, not theirs.

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] Perseus and Jaguar?

2018-11-29 Thread Rocco Cotroneo
   Jaguar is hyper assisted DXing. It's like fishing in open ocean
with a huge net which is also selecting your preys. Its easiness for
recognising offsets and the huge database embedded means he knows
before you what's on the dial and tells you where to go and catch it.
It's only patience and luck (for the id, eventually), no intuition and
very little experience needed. The main expertise you need is to grasp
all the software tools for maximum efficiency. It has been invented in
Scandinavia, where conditions are such that almost every night you can
fill some Terabytes, and you would need to live 1000 years to review
all of it. If SDR vs live DXing killed a good part of emotion in this
hobby, Jaguar is finishing the job.

Re: [IRCA] AM stations in mexico

2018-11-29 Thread Russ Edmunds
I would be wary of the FCC data for any other countries - first this data
contains inactive allocations, unused grants and is somewhat outdated. That
said though, I don't know of any online source which would meet the need.
