[IRCA] LWBC in Michigan

Tim, You mentioned the beacon interference on 252.   Have you noticed there are two beacons that share the same identifier that easily fall within the passband when listening to Algeria?  Best I can deduce, one is MB on 254 from Manistee airport, and the other the same identifier, MB, on 257,

Greetings all, 171 and 189 are both strong and listenable here in Michigan this evening 252 is down from previous evenings. 198 has an even match going with NDB DIW. Good DX to all, Scott ⁣Sent from Blue ​ ___ IRCA mailing list

[IRCA] LWBC and MW correlation

Hi Steve, Many evenings so far this month have yielded decent LWBC conditions here in Michigan. I've made some decent recordings with the SDR for the archives.  Usually 171 and 183 are the dominant stations here, but so far this year it's been the BBC on 198 and then Algeria on 252. I've

My first check in a few weeks. I'm hearing 171 Morocco, at around -80 dBm; a good signal. Nothing else. Heads up Steve out in AZ. Scott And HNY to all. ⁣Sent from Blue ​ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Steve, Heads up my friend - 171, 183 and 189 all nicely copiable here tonight. 189 Iceland is a rarity here.   But tonight it sports a very nice signal. 171 traditional AA mx 189 American pop mx. 73, Scott ⁣Sent from Blue ​ ___ IRCA mailing list

Like Steve, I am hearing long wave broadcasts here, also.  First time in a long while. 171 Morocco is weak 252 Algeria strong and easily copied Tnx for the tip, Steve. Scott ⁣Sent from Blue ​ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Last night seemed to be pretty good conditions so I set up the SDR to record overnight. I noted Morocco 171 in Algeria 252 and also very weak BBC on 198. We'll see what popped in and out through the night, later.  Note to Stan Horzeppa - the standard channel assignment would be 243 khz.

Steve, Before the closure of R. France on 162 I picked up an external hard drive and started making overnight recordings of the Longwave Broadcast segment to build an archive. It's been interesting observing how 171 and 252 seem to often alternate in fade cycles.   I'm not saying there's a

Tried to post last night, but no go.  Long-wave nicely audible in Michigan again tonight: 171, 183, and 252.   Last night Iceland was audible also. So this is a tip to Steve in Arizona to fire up the radio, like we used to when you were in Oregon.   Scott

CFL bulbs - not only are they prolific RFI producers, but if you break one a small but definite amount of mercury is released. If ambient temperatures are warm enough, it probably vaporizes quickly, which isn't such a good thing in its own right. Hard to believe they are supposed to 'save the
