I get something like WEZH out of the first one, and something like KCAG out of the second. Not much close enough on either of them that I can see. The second one is definitely a K-call as 12450 is mentioned. The first one might not be calls at all, as Paul has already noted. Russ Edmunds 15

Re: [IRCA] 1240 kHz grave yard unid

That probably rules out any real chance of the first one being call letters then. I wonder if the second one might be KTHE-WY ? That's the only call remotely close to what I'd thought I'd heard. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com

Re: [IRCA] 1240 kHz grave yard unid

12450 is a typo - intended to be 1240 I have no info on KTHE other than its existence, so I have no idea as to its current on-air status. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com On Fri, 12/13/13, Paul B. Walker, Jr

Re: [IRCA] 1620 possible spanish pirate

I'll look for this although I have a problem with a 1060/560 mixing spur as I'm within 5 miles of both transmitters. Also there are two or three Cubans there at any given time, sometimes two Rebelde programs, sometimes a different program mixing with Rebelde Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1520 NY off, more on 1710 TIS testing, good SRS/SSS

They had multiple transmitters licensed, so I would say that is a reasonable conclusion. I've not heard the one testing yet, mmostly for lack of trying. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com AM:  Modified Sony ICF 2010's barefoot

Re: [IRCA] unID MN-WI-Upper MI TIS on 530

I was unable to pull much from the recordings, owing to the high noise level. I did check the site below earlier and found nothing which would be close enough to the possible numbers indicated in the original post. All of the MN 530's are in St. Paul, so it's likely not MN. Russ Edmunds 15 mi

Re: [IRCA] SDR-Console and the Perseus SDR Volume Levels

The entire AM band is 1710-520, so 1.2 mHz. If you add LW, it's 1710-190 = 1.520, so you're covered either way. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com On Tue, 2/25/14, Les Rayburn l...@highnoonfilm.com wrote

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Gray Line Software

IMHO, I wouldn't see that aspect as being of much significance for SR/SS DX unless we're looking at TA or TP, which I doubt you are. That said, although it isn't explicit, I think with GeoClock it's 'in there'. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com

Re: [IRCA] Was Gray Line Software-- Now SSS DX

the city coordinates within Geoclock as a few miles here or there won't have much if any impact. I have even used Geoclock, with just the city files data to track sunrise on TA receptions at the LBI DXpeditions with some success. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2

Re: [IRCA] Active Whips Mounted Horizontally

antenna. These will all almost always be quieter than a wire antenna of almost any length, either vertically or horizontally polarized. But since you are using an SDR, which is broadband, any of the tuned indoor loop options would be impractical as they are not broadband. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WWXL 1450 Easy Copy in Alabama

Likewise here, as I last checked my email shortly before 2100. Had this test occurred a couple of weeks forward, we'd have had the group of us who concentrate on DX'ing the GY's assembled on 1450 already for that week. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com AM
