810WDMPWIDodgeville.  0606 CDT.
  Fairly good signal for this 250 watt 
  powerhouse.  Ads for Dodgeville firms,
  Iowa County Chrysler, other mentions
  of Iowa County.  I.D. for WDMP and
  99.3  Outlaw Country.  All done by a 
  female announcer who sounded like she
  may have been high school age.  And did 
  a very professional sounding job of it.  
  First time I heard WDMP was on a DX 
  test Jan. 12, 1981.  Don't remember who 
  sponsored the test.  Relog.

Paul,

One possibility is 960 CFAC Calgary.  Another is 960 KMA which runs ESPN at 
night.  Both should be readily hearable in your area.

Ok, so this one may be hard to pin down, but I figured it'd be worth it to
give it a shot!

For the last 2 nights, I've had ESPN Radio somewhere around 950 to 970Khz 
on

TWO signals. The thing is.. one signal is ahead of the other by about 5,
almost. It almost sounds like a bad echo, but one station is in a break 
and

the other one isn't quite there yet.

Any ideas what I *might* be hearing?

[IRCA] Fox Sports 1070

2009-01-18 Thread Paul LaFreniere


There has been a Fox Sports Radio affiliate dominating 1070 all night.  Still 
there at 0520 CST  18 Jan 09.  Might be WKOK.  No sign of WTSO Madison, WI ESPN 
which is the usual dominant on 1070 in these parts.  I have not waited around 
for TOH I.D. to see if it is WKOK.
Pat Martin reports good conditions to the east, so maybe WKOK's 1 kW is doing 
the job during these conditions.

Our last above zero temp was Sunday.  The forecast is for the temp to go above

Here in N.E. MN things were going along pretty well.  By April 1 the 
winter's snows were beginning to melt.  Temps were nearing 40 degrees.  Then 
last week-end we got dumped on.  32 inches of wet, heavy snow.  Even the 
road graders were having a tough time moving the stuff.  Then last night 
another 14 inches.  Tonight's temps are predicted to drop to 20 degrees F. 
The good news is temps should be nearing 45 by next Wed.

New stations in MN [if I am not mistaken] are allowed to pick either a K or

Doubt whether WZFN will be a sports station.  The other new 50,000 watt

 years, but I won't be mourning its passing all that much!

 I also have a Newsradio 960 unid... WERC uses that slogan, but the

The fun happened on 1340 as I heard the Blue Devils getting ready to play

this had to be KRBT Eleveth MN for a new one, and when I went back outside
they were in there with a gal giving some locals ads including one for an
appliance store in Eleveth. At 426 miles, this just breaks the US distance
record for logging them.

You heard the Eveleth Golden Bears and the Virginia Blue Devils.

KRBT is owned by the Lew Latto Group.  Back in the late '70s or around 1980 
Lew Latto was running 970-WAKX Superior, WI. 1kW daytimer.  He ran a DX test 
for IRCA which was heard by two people.  A DXer from the Madison, WI area

Re: [IRCA] Cheater term and the FCC - reposting ...

2007-09-24 Thread Paul LaFreniere

Have we become so politically correct now that we can't call a spade a 
spade?  Of course there are stations that cheat.  And probably the easiest 
ones to determine are the HSFB cheaters.  I'm not complaining about that. 
I've managed to log a few new ones because of it.  I wish more stations 
would cheat for a few nights.  Just long enough for me to log them.  A 
cheater is a cheater.  The broadcasters and engineers have their own lists. 
Why should we let a lurker from some other list determine what is said on 
the DX lists?

If some of the cheaters did that in Las Vegas, they would be tossed out of 
town.  Right after they had their fingers broke.

Fie.

No.  And they probably aren't either, since the FCC doesn't seem to be in

It's called RESPECT. No matter who is or isnt on the list, we need to
respect others, snip

Respect has nothing to do with it.

and claiming stuff when we have no facts is NOT respect.

I think my aged uncle who is not a DXer could determine if some of the HSFB

 Crew,

 Back before I was assigned to VOA Delano, I used to compile and publish 
 (via
 DX/SDXM) the Directory on the SUBJECT line above.

 I'm proposing to revive that and run it, say, monthly. It would include 
 URLs,
 but NOT telephone numbers (unless there's enough demand for such).

 Here's a sample entry:

 TAYLOR, Charles A. Grifton,  NC [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Nothing much. Just name, bare-bones QTH, and e-mail address and URL.

 Reason I think it's useful, is that you wouldn't have to dig through past 
 DXMs
 to find an address. And you'd also know where a fellow IRCAer lives.

 I was aggressive before, and if someone didn't volunteer that info, I'd
 e-mail the member in question and ask permission.

 Thoughts, anyone?

  Hello IRCA'ers
 Can any one help with the website http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/
 This gives FCC official sunset/sunrise times for any given station. It

Pete,

You are certainly right about that!  It should have read mixing with WCCW  
WIBA.  It was KOLY mixing with WOOD  KGLO.  Major bungle on my part. 
Trying to write down too many things too fast.  Proof reading is not one of 
my strong points.  Anyway--they are all relogs.  Nothing new.  Thanks for 
noticing.
