| Looking for a decent Software VOX recorder |
 |
Sunday, June 25 2023
|
Expanding my horizons in Masset, I've added a RSPdx to the mixture of
remote receivers that I have there. The beauty of the RSPdx is it's wide
spectrum including the FM band. I added a nice Yagi antenna, courtesy of
Patrick Martin from Seaside OR. Initially, I had it up about 25 or 30 feet
off the ground, and rotating it, I was pleased to receive 3 or 4 Ketchikan
stations (about 150 km to the north), 5 or 6 Prince Rupert stations
(slightly closer to the east), and the 3 CBC outlets on the Islands, as
well as very low power translators of commercial stations in Masset.
Mostly, though, the band is pretty empty, which makes for the possibility
of receiving meteor scatter and e-skip on FM.
I've experimented with leaving the squelch out and just recording for
hours on-end, and indeed, signals do come in for a few seconds at a time,
but this is very tedious. Alternatively, I've tried squelch and feeding
the signal into my Total Recorder Pro. Unfortunately, this otherwise great
software for recording does not have a VOX option, so this means scrolling
(actually clicking) 30 second intervals over up to 24 hours of recording to
locate those tiny spikes in signals. There has to be a better way. Does
anyone have any suggestions regarding a good VOX (voice activated)
recorder...software that is? Also, are there any groups out there
devoted to e-skip and meteor scatter FM DXing?
73, Walt

Dear DX friends,
On Saturday, June 24 at 21.30-22.00 UTC and on Sunday, June 25 at 04.00-04.30 UTC, WRMI - Radio Miami International will broadcast an archival program dedicated to the 48th annual European DX Council (EDXC) Conference held in St. Petersburg in September 2015. The frequency is 15770 kHz. EDXC-2015 Conference was organized by the St. Petersburg DX Club, a full member of EDXC, and was held in Russia for the second time (the first time also in St. Petersburg in 2006). The program in Russian was prepared by Radio Liberty and based on materials offered by St. Petersburg DX Club and aired on the waves of Radio Liberty at the end of September 2015. It deals with almost all aspects of DX hobby.
Please, if possible, drop a couple of lines on the reception quality. Not in the form of a standard report, but simply: place of reception, time, signal strength (or SIO) to dxspb@nrec.spb.ru or/and spbdxclub@gmail.com. 73! Alexander
St. Petersburg DX Club

13810-WOF was the best frequency here in Caversham with 12005-WOF also good. A 2-minute shorter edition is on BBC WS later at 0132 UTC (0232 BST)
including I presume on R4 198 kHz longwave and DAB.
But also now available to listen to online at
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5hqt (though always sounds better
coming through the ether!)

Midwinter's Day in Antarctica is a week away (21st June) and BBC,
as in previous years, will have a half hour broadcast to
British Antarctic Survey (BAS) staff over-wintering at BAS bases there.
"The Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast is unlike anything else on the BBC World
Service.
Every year, we make this special programme for just 32 listeners:
The team of scientists and support staff isolated at British research
stations
in the Antarctic midwinter. Presented by Cerys Matthews, the programme
features messages
from family and friends at home as well as music requests from Antarctica.
For decades it has been part of the traditional midwinter celebrations."

registered this
evening (14 June 2023) 2130-2145 UTC to CIRAF zones 67 & 73 (Antarctica) so
presume these
are the usual tests ahead of the Midwinter's Day broadcast?
Can anyone at Woofferton confirm this, and also if there is still the usual
2130 UTC transmission on 21st June (as well as the three the BBC list
above)?
