Bill, anything further about using the SDR - IQ as a DX Fishbarrel?
Something I'd love to have while DXing off-gridWalt

Re: [IRCA] KANSAS CITY DX CONVENTION

[Bill Whitacre]

Thanks to all involved in organizing and ‘pulling off’ the joint convention in 
Kansas City.  It was a lot of work and everyone I spoke with enjoyed it A LOT!

Though I did not help in any way with erection or de-erection of the DKAZ I did 
enjoy watching TP/DU carriers floating down the screen of Nick’s teeny-tiny 
laptop this morning.  I wish more folks could’ve been there to see it.  Pretty 
convincing evidence of why all MW DXers need a DKAZ of some size in their own 
backyard.

Hope everyone gets home safely and thanks again to those who made it all 
possible.

[IRCA] KANSAS CITY DX CONVENTION

[Mark4]

Good crowd!  It was nice to meet new folks and to swap lies.  Great to see 
familiar faces and renew ongoing discussions.  From comments heard around the 
room, the car tours and station visits were ‘okay.’  The tech talk sessions had 
lots of good pics and video and some new understandings...and the audio was a 
disaster. (Murphy had been sleeping in the meeting room when we checked out the 
A-V Friday but was wide-awake Saturday morning.)

Dinner was excellent; the post-munching remarks by Kansas City’s premier 
newsman Dan Verbeck were impactful and heartfelt and gave those of us jaded 
with radio some reasons to be more optimistic (at least about radio news).

It was moving to me to see how we as a group helped our Blind friends navigate 
and interpret.

The “D-KAZ-wiki group” from IRCA (Hall-Patch, Kazaross, Whitacre, Durenberger) 
erected and operated a full-blown D-KAZ antenna in the back yard (a thanks to 
the hotel for their tolerance of our temporary playground).  We were even able 
to attract veteran DX-er Glenn Hauser...who was kind enough to avoid shaking 
his head over our layout.

(Clean) audio and pics/videos from the activities will be posted shortly.


Cheers!
