It's listed as spanish and runs it most of the time but I've caught it
tonight running english.. just thought I'd mention it since it might
throw people for a loop, thinking its KQMS Redding, CA running paid
programming.

This morning might take the title for the season's worst...


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

not by any means




Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):


the above passing through




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

not in the slightest




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

594 JOAK  NHK interlude music recognizable in the gloom 1510UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)

 567 1566 seemed to be Asian;
891 1017 seemed to be DU


best wishes,

Nick

Haven't seen any response to this, James, and am probably not going
to be much help.

I've just used RG58 variants for up to 100' in permanent
installations around the yard, 10 to15 years in some cases.   One of
them runs through about 70' of rigid PVC electrical conduit IPEX
#032907 and is buried.   Mind you, I've heard that although such
conduit will keep the groundwater away from the coax, water vapor
will condense inside, leading to a wet interior anyway.   That coax
still seems to work,so maybe it's dry...or maybe not.

On DXpeditions, I've run over 500' of  RG58 coax to DKaz'es and such,
and not suffered particularly.

best wishes,

Nick

High, Jim!  I think you have little to worry about no matter what you
choose, electrically, at least.  The more important issue is durability.
Depending on what I'm doing, I use different coax cables.   Lengths
shouldn't be an issue, either.  We experimented with lengths up to 1000' at
Grayland many years ago, and no difference was seen between (K9AYs, I
believe) at the ocean shore, or right next to the Grayland Motel, so don't
worry about that.   Next is weight.  When travelling, I'll use the super
thin RG174 coax (50 ohm), which fits nicely into the suitcase at minimal
weight.  For cost, one can't beat 75 ohm RG6 coax which can be purchased
everywhere for pennies a foot.  I've used that a lot over the years, and it
lasts well for a number of years outside.  Now for more permanent weather
impervious coax, I've used a very heavy duty Belden 8215 milspec 50 ohm
cable.  I was fortunate to buy military surplus brand new role of about
1000' or so years ago, and it's virtually indestructible, and can be buried
without worry about water infiltration, at least not for years.   A local
DXer, Brian Chapel, gave a great idea, though, about what to use with
regular coax if one buries it on runs.  He recommended buying a long run
(or runs that have been thrown out) of garden hose.   What a great idea.
Then you simply run the coax through it from one end to the other.   Don't
know if anyone has tried this, but if it remains intact, it should keep
coax dry and clean for many years, buried.   Any other thoughts?    73,
 Walt
