[IRCA] TP 11 Mar Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Well, they were predicting a geomagnetic upset.   But, not yet.  Still pretty 
lively this morning.



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


774 JOUB 1422UT


1575 VoA powering in at 1439UT with man in  Burmese per announcement at 1430UT; 
exactly the same as yesterday




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

567 JOIK //594 1436UT

594 JOAK 1417UT

774 JOIB 1405UT

972 HLCA 1430UT


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

603 HLSA ballad 1431UT, along with another station; ID'd a couple of minutes 
earlier //558

1548 4QD man talking to another man on phone, DU English, 1432UT.  Still pretty 
good on north Flag; high angle of arrival?




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) 

531 JOQG woman talking //594 1427UT

558 HLQH //603, usual ballads 1427UT

612 JOLK looking for parallel for 1548, instead, man talking //594 1432UT

621 woman talking, Chinese intonation 1407UT; brief visitor, then gone

639 CNR1 woman //6175 1436UT

657 N. Korea with orchestral music and woman operatizing, 1420UT; only up for a 
couple of minutes, but grabbed //3320

666 JOBK man talking //594 1438UT; hum on channel also.

945 CNR1 //639, woman talking 1424UT

1098 CNR1 //1593 1425-6UT, woman and man 

1242 woman talking Japanese intonation 1426UT

1287 woman talking, Japanese intonation 1419UT

1422 man talking, insistent sounding Japanese? 1433UT

1503 JOUK music //594 1435UT

1557 man talking, Chinese intonation 1434UT

1566 man talking Chinese intonation 1429UT




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

 693 702 711 729 738 864 828 837  918 1206 1323 1386 1494 1539  seemed to be 
Asian; 
  
1611 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Thanks for the reply on this Rick.   I did a bit of nosing around also, and
used the Icechat client to check into Starchat.  Trying  #mwdx yielded:
"this channel has been forbidden: CLOSED", so that is history, apparently.
  Pity, as I think some sort of archive existed as well?

I'm testing a PHP/MySQL Chat system over at https://dxer.ca/blab/

The downside of Facebook is that you have to be a member of Facebook
and that means giving up almost every last gribble of personal information
you have --
and it isn't truly live nor is it a chat channel...

The system I have installed can any number of channels on it all dedicated
to any aspect of the
hobby and any geographical location.

If it catches on, great - if it doesn't, no big - it only took 15 minutes
to set it up.

I like it. Clean and simple and real time and no ads. Call me 
old-fashioned, but I think we've given up a lot of that old-time 
simplicity and privacy for the "flashy" modern look of Facebook and all 
the rest. From the looks of it, there is literally nothing that could 
break or go wrong, unless the server crashes. And you don't have to have 
a fast PC, or be using the latest browser, etc, etc, etc.


I just commented there about a new station I just logged on 640 kHz. 
Condx here in N. Indiana are good to the deep south.


Thanks for setting it up, Colin!

I can’t browse FB (which I confess I do for around 2 minutes a day...) without 
hearing the voice of Samuel L. Jackson in my head - describing the experience 
in uniquely colorful language. 

Mass media, social media, FOX news, and the like have turned us all into docile 
creatures - ready to swallow whatever we’re told. Good thing I’m not bitter or 
cynical.

I’ve been deploying websites since 1994 and not a single one has ever had click 
bait, shills, Amazon links, cookies (beyond a login password) and no tracking 
BS. 

Nothing more frustrating than looking at something on Amazon and then seeing it 
in FB when you pass through...

Zuckerberg — he’s the modern Satan.

Re: [IRCA] Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands*

[Rick Dau]

Nick, I can answer that.  During MW DX seasons about 5 or 6 years ago, I was a 
regular -- almost nightly -- visitor to the #mwdx room on Starchat.net.  About 
2 years ago, I attempted to get back onto it, and was unsuccessful, as was 
Shawn Axelrod in Winnipeg (I think it was due to Starchat being powered by 
Java, which was having some sort of security issue at the time).  Just for 
grins and giggles, I tried again this evening, and could not even get past 
Starchat.net's homepage.  When I typed "mwdx" in the search page, it wasn't 
recognized as a room.  So Starchat.net isn't an option anymore, at least not 
for me.

A couple years ago, I found librairc.net/chat, and was able to get #mwdx going 
as a room there.  I did let a few folks know about it, and some, like Shawn and 
longtime IRCA member Tom Laskowski in South Bend, Indiana, were able to find 
their way onto it.  Others could not, so I gave up pursuing it.

Tonight, however, I have found something that I think will pass muster.  One 
simply goes to librairc.net's sister page, http://www.chanops.org.  Once there, 
you'll see a homepage with a pair of fields -- one for a nickname and one for a 
channel to go to -- under "Think of a nickname..."  Type in a nickname that you 
want to use, and you do NOT have to click the box underneath that says "I have 
a password".  Then go down to the Channel field, type in #mwdx, and click on 
the Start button.  THAT should get you in.
And the best part isno registration required!

Re: [IRCA] URL Correction - NRC Facebook

I like having nothing technically connected to IRCA or the NRC

It’s just simpler that way. 

I have the domain name ircaonline.com 
You can see the firestorm I avoided by not using that. :-)

Re: [IRCA] Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands*

[R. Colin Newell]

I'm testing a PHP/MySQL Chat system over at https://dxer.ca/blab/

The downside of Facebook is that you have to be a member of Facebook
and that means giving up almost every last gribble of personal information
you have --
and it isn't truly live nor is it a chat channel...

The system I have installed can any number of channels on it all dedicated
to any aspect of the
hobby and any geographical location.

If it catches on, great - if it doesn't, no big - it only took 15 minutes
to set it up.

First rule is to see what's already available.

bcblog had its last submission less than two hours ago.

Does anyone know what happened to #mwdx?

Even ye olde DXFishbarrel can 
help  http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm
Obviously most relevance to the northwest DXer, but if the thing is 
lit up like a Christmas tree in the evening, checking for TAs 
anywhere in America might be productive, and if it's lit up at your 
local sunrise, it may mean that conditions are good overall, and that 
switching on the radio would not be amiss.

best wishes,

Re: [IRCA] Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands*

[Nick Hall-Patch]

That is why I wondered if #mwdx chat was still functional 
somewhere.   It's years since I used it, but I remember it being 
entertaining and helpful for trading real time TA tips across the 
continent when there was an openingbut that was during the last 
sunspot minimum.


Regarded as being old stuff now?  Certainly my software for it is 
rather out of date, and nothing seems to work.


best wishes,

Nick

I'm not able to understand how to amplify the signal from my Superloop and

Re: [IRCA] Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands*

[Stephen Hawkins]

Collin,

It was a question I asked.   I got several replies and some good info.  
They helped but so far I have not found what I was looking for.  I don't 
think such a thing for AMBCB DXing or SWL exists. I'm all for it.


I'd love to hear / see your ideas.  As a Ham I use 
http://www.dxsummit.fi/#/ and a telnet based one called dxspots.com


I like these two because I can filter what spots I see or don't see.  I 
frequently have both of them up filtered different ways.

Re: [IRCA] Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands*

[Nick Hall-Patch]

First rule is to see what's already available.

bcblog had its last submission less than two hours ago.

Does anyone know what happened to #mwdx?

Even ye olde DXFishbarrel can 
help  http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm
Obviously most relevance to the northwest DXer, but if the thing is 
lit up like a Christmas tree in the evening, checking for TAs 
anywhere in America might be productive, and if it's lit up at your 
local sunrise, it may mean that conditions are good overall, and that 
switching on the radio would not be amiss.


best wishes,

Nick

Colin,

I don’t SWL much anymore, but would love something like this for MW DXing (and 
FM—though options already exist for that part of the spectrum) 

Domestic openings too. Lately, the DX Tips and e-mail lists have been more 
active in this regard, putting some new ones in my log.

4QD isn't that frequent a visitor here Todd, but they were heard here 
this morning with audio, among the 1550kHz splash.


They are about 10 Hertz high from 1548.000kHz, and some people can 
hear the difference in the BFO pitch, especially if you tune say to a 
200Hz beat note, then check a channel that is dead on frequency for comparison.

[IRCA] Live DX spotter / chat system *show of hands*

[R. Colin Newell]

Last week someone posted a "wouldn't it be great if we had a
live DX spotter chat window web site 100% dedicated to SWBCing
and/or MW DXing ?"

You know, a place where you could quickly sign in and post an alert that
you're hearing HCJB on 9560 khz or Voice of the Voyager on 6160 khz...
or there is a great TA opening to the West Coast...

Show of hands: Who would use a system like this?

I have some free server space and some ideas about domain names that could
be fun...

Anyway... hands!?

Re: [IRCA] 1548 carrier

[Neil Kazaross]

Wouldn't you have a better chance at audio using your 7300 as I'd expect it
has better filters? A couple years ago, Tim Tromp showed that 4QD could be
had In the Midwest in March on occasion. I first logged them 2 years ago in
March. They suffer from a lot of slop here in IL at sunrise. I had them a
couple times in the really good DU cx we had late Sept into Oct.  73 KAZ

Re: [IRCA] XHDATA D-808

[Jim B]

Glad you like the XHDATA D-808 Mike. I recently brought one on vacation to
Dunedin FL and I logged about 225 stations in 5 weeks. The farthest was
CFAC 960, in Calgary Alberta. I find the sound at 3 khz AM mode is
excellent for DXing.Jim, back home in the snow

[IRCA] 1548 carrier

[Todd S]

Using the best of my Modified 2010, I was able to listen to a carrier using
LSB. Signal was in from approx 1320-1355. Carrier was in with slow fades,
then steady and a choppy fast fade in and out then gone. 4QD is the most
obvious suspect.
