Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-24

Hi Nick, 
 
Thanks very much for postingÂyour 1575 MP3 for comparison purposes. It does seem like we recorded the same VOA peak, although your 1438 start time is probably a little more accurate than what I wrote down in the frozen back yard here (with pretty stiff fingers). 
 
I had 1593-CNR1 with fairly good signals at the same time on the ICF-2010 spotting receiver, but since I can only tune one frequency at a time with the FSL there was no chance to record it during VOA's peak. 
 
It seems like the biggest difference betweenÂour recordings is that the splatter on your receiver sounds almost hi-fi compared to the nasty buck shot on the C.Crane Skywave :-)

I noticed that mine and Gary's reception of VoA 
were at the same time, so thought I'd upload a 
recording for 
comparison: 
http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/VoA1575_20150224_1438.wav 
which starts just about the time the man starts talking in Gary's recording. 

Mind you, I didn't hear much else of what he heard in the upper band. 

And now, at 0730UT, 774 is starting to come in, 
//with a weaker 747. Â It's been awhile since that happened. 

best wishes, 

Nick
