QSLs Received / Re: Paper QSL's?

« on: May 23, 2019, 2242 UTC »

I received a paper QSL earlier this year for an emailed reception report of Furusato No Kaze - they sent the QSL via regular mail after responding the same day (!) to my email report - the QSL took about 5 weeks to reach my location.

Huh? / Re: Donna Summer dies at 63; diva of disco

« on: May 23, 2019, 0213 UTC »

I must be missing the joke. That was 7 years ago 

Yes - she died in 2012.

Huh? / Re: Fansome's on his way to the Minnesota State Fair

« on: May 18, 2019, 2018 UTC »

She needs to takes some some lessons from the "King of The Accordion", Flaco Jimenez. Flaco doesn't play that noise called "polka".

As Tom Waits said - "a real gentleman is someone who can play the accordian but doesn't".

WEFAX and SSTV / Re: Tips for improved image reception

« on: April 03, 2019, 0052 UTC »

Josh - thx for the tips.  My best luck has been with my Drake R8 and a Universal M-8000.
I set the Drake preamp ON, AGC OFF, bandwidth 2.3khz or less, USB mode with obvious 1.9khz offset.  For DSP (which, you are dead on helps ALOT sometimes), I use a Timewave DSP-599zx.  I haven't tried the notch setting you mentioned but I will (thx!).  And you are correct that input level into the decoder is crucial.  I also find the Passband offset knob on the drake very useful at times.
I have (because I'm old - wtf?) nice paper copies of WEFAXES from Nigeria, Denmark, Iceland, Chile, South Africa, Murmansk, Japanese Fisheries, Kyodo, New Zealand, New Foundland, etc. (many of which have been off the air for years).
I have always enjoyed decoding WEFAXes - thanks again for your tips - it's a fun part of the hobby.
