[IRCA] NW Radio questions

2013-08-16 Thread Patrick Martin
Hi everyone, In tuning across the dial this morning, checking out the antennas, I noticed two things. First KZIZ 1560 is much much stronger than I ever have heard them. I wonder if anyone else has noticed the increase in signal? Second, I did not notice any IBOC hash on 1350 from KUOW 1340.

KUOW-1340 not noted with IBOC while driving around Olympia a few days ago.It seems to come and go. I also noted KZIZ stronger over there but do not know what that's about. It is a local here at home. KHHO-850's IBOC is also off now and has been for a while. A pleasant change. Pete Taylor

Thanks Pete. I hope KUOW will leave it off. Now if KLPZ 1330 will drop it too. But being Crawford, that is probably wishful thinking. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

The test made it down here to eastern PA. I was tuning around longwave and had to hurry up the band to catch this. The test began around 0406 UTC (12:06 AM eastern) that I could hear. What made it through were Morse IDs and sweep tones. Everything was heard under WGY NY, co-channel.
