Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station

[Guy Atkins <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pat (and Chuck & Tom also) for your comments. Now I'm really puzzled
at the station's absence here! I didn't tune ECSS to check for a het, just
tuned past the frequency each time in AM mode. I was using my AOR receiver
rather than Perseus so I couldn't "see" any activity on a spectrum or
waterfall display.

I've been testing and comparing three 1-meter active loop antennas recently,
and the fact that they are all oriented with the nulls N-S may have
contributed to the absence of signal. That didn't occur to me earlier.

Back to 1710 kHz with Perseus and my usual 35 x 40 ft. broadband term. loop
with a forward lobe aimed north-northwest! I'll check it out tonight when I
get home.
