I don't keep a log. I just post what I hear to the HFU.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Easy PAL Digital SSTV help
« on: March 03, 2013, 1605 UTC »
You need to, at a minimum, assign an RX soundcard device to EasyPal.
When you EasyPal, navigate through the menus as such:
Setup -> Setup c/s-soundcard-PTT -> Soundcard
By default it appears EasyPal will try to grab your default Windows recording device (audio input). If you have multiple sound cards, or like me, you have a radio that connects with USB to the computer and thus appears as a sound device, you need to either set this as your default recording device in Windows sound control panel before you run EasyPal, OR you need to instruct EasyPal to use the device that is feeding receive audio into your computer. It sounds more complicated than it really is.
One definite bug in the EasyPal program is that you will get a very cryptic error, and the program will not start, if there is either NO recording device active in Windows or you disable the recording device. I found this out by trying to start EasyPal before I turned my receiver on (which subsequently appears as my default sound device in Windows).
Otherwise the program will work with the defaults to decode EasyPal transmissions. I have good success with it, but a strong signal (SNR) is required for reliable decode.

I also have the weakest of detectable carriers on both these frequencies at 2259. Not even close to S1 though. Where does this broadcast from?

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID classical music 6930 KHz USB 0211 UTC + 2/27/2013
« on: February 27, 2013, 0220 UTC »
I've had classic music on 6930 KHz USB since 0211 UTC. The pieces are probably famous but I don't know classical. Now on the second piece. Decent S6 signal.
