[IRCA] TP 2 Dec Victoria version

Lively again, but not with many of the Japanese that Nigel heard, in fact, they were a little suppressed. It was a bit more Chinese oriented (so to speak).I had to limit the time spent on playback of the SDR files, just too many possibilities there. I'd say the peak was just after

Re: [IRCA] South Korean MW Jamming

In regards to the type of jamming on 1566, if it was indeed jamming, I can't really answer that. I suspect that they were using dead air on 810 to jam as the audio was muddy but it was still understandable. The intelligence service is largely half-incompetent as it is with these jammers. I've

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 December 2016

Great conditions to Japan this morning, certainly the best of the season. The opening seemed pretty much limited to Japan though (not that I'm complaining), with only the two powerhouses on 972 and 1566 from Korea, and nothing from China. 531 JOQGMorioka, JAPAN Talk by

Re: [IRCA] Nova Scotia Logs and a question

Hi Mike, I don't have an Elad, but I see no reason this would not work. Tune to WWV, pick the best frequencies available at the time. Zoom out the display, so that the 'tip' of the carrier is clearly visible. Use whatever method of adjustment your software provides. Good luck. Vince Ottawa, ON

[IRCA] Nova Scotia Logs and a question

Hi all - sorry for the lack of reports lately - conditions havent been all that great and I havent had as much tome to spend at the dials. The question I have is with respect to calibration of the ELAD. I would like to do a calibration of frequency, but frankly I'm not sure how. I don't have a

Re: [IRCA] Nova Scotia Logs and a question

I just realized you are talking about 'serious' calibration (3-6 Hz). In this case, I think you need a 'serious' RF signal generator. Regards, Vince Ottawa, ON On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 8:54 AM, DXer wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I don't have an Elad, but I see no reason this

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 December 2016- early results

Hope everyone is able to listen this morning, as here in Alberta it's perhaps the best Japanese morning of the season. Great to hear after the doldrums of November. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ IRCA mailing list

[IRCA] WSDZ (1260 AM The Answer)

On Nov. 8 & 9 around 0830 EST, I was hearing WWRC (in WDC) on 1260 with the id as the answer. There was also a distinct 1 second delay of the same program which I am guessing was WSDZ unless there is another station on 1260 running "the answer" program. Jim in Springfield Ma. Fri, 18 Nov 2016

As Nigel has reported Asian conditions continued to improve this morning, with several second-tier TP's managing decent signals in addition to the usual big guns. The Chinese mid-band stations were the main attraction here, peaking at around 1500 with pretty decent audio. At my 1430 start

Re: [IRCA] South Korean MW Jamming

Correct, all the jammers (except the video game one, which is 819's short off-air period between daily sign-off and the dead air/tone before sign-on) are South Korea. I'll post the North Korean ones perhaps tomorrow. The 1053 jammers are complicated, as is that whole busy frequency - the

[IRCA] Sangean PRD7

I've seen an indication in one place online that this has a socket for an external am antenna, but I can't confirm this nor find any pictures of it. Is this true and if so, what kind of socket is it? will a PRD7 bought in the US tune 9khz frequencies? I know it can do it, says the manual, but

Re: [IRCA] Sangean PRD7

Look here: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/spcialty/0211cont.jpg It does not show an antenna socket, and no mention of 9kHz channels. For 9kHz channels, and 1kHz tuning, but no antenna socket, look at the PR-D15. Regards, Vince On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 1:41 PM, Paul B. Walker, Jr. <
