PMSDR/Winrad and E-MU 0202USB Audio Interface

With my old Audigy-2 soundcard only 96 Khz wide band recording was possible.
I used this Creative PCI card for more than a year to my fully satisfaction,
but to use the maximum span in WRplus or WinradHD a 196 Khz soundcard was needed.
My choice was a Creative E-MU 0202 usb soundcard.
This is a 24-bit/192 khz recording and playback audio interface
so wide band recording up to 192 khz is now possible.
I am very satisfied with this E-Mu soundcard which sounds great
especially with use of the E-MU Asio drivers.

Inputs for right and left mono 6.3 Jacks - do not use the stereo input.

Our PMSDR group member Michiel made me this audio cable:
1 pc 3.5 stereo Jack plug and 2 mono 6.3 Jack`s and 1 meter of good
quality audio cable (double audio cable which you can split).

TA-DX montage 6 and 7 December 2010

TA conditions were fair on mediumwave last monday- and tuesdaymorning.
It gave me a change to log another 4 personal firsts.
It isn't hi-fi quality but I don't care as long as I can
hear an ID on it.

Sporadic ES - R1 NOVA 25.11.2010

TV Band 1 was open this morning from 1045-1110utc.
Fun to see NOVA back on channel R1 - I didn't see
them often during the last spor. es season.
Their close down is planned in november 2011.

980 KHz RCN - Colombia

Not a lot to report from this morning TA listening session.
Only weak signals were heard from eastcoast CAN/USA.
After checking the PMSDR wide-band recordings I came across this one
which is another personal first

1280 KHz Noti Uno - Puerto Rico 23.11.2010

After a long period of bad MW conditions, so there was nothing to report,
but this morning the band was above average.
I have not yet listen to all my wide-band recordings
but got this one on 1280 KHz at 0800utc.
WCMN from Arecibo/Puerto Rico which is a personal first.
You hear Noti Uno just after 20 seconds.

920 KHz Radio Nueva Esparta - Porlamar

Nothing interesting on MW band as the band is extremely poor
for TA-DX the last weeks.
However I could log another personal first this
morning on 920 KHz at 0641utc with Radio Nueva Esparta
from Porlamar on the Isle of Margarita/Venezuela.
