[ QSL Information ]
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
George Hudson, owner of WCPH and The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the
NRC and IRCA are pleased to announce two special upcoming DX Tests on both
December 26 and January 2nd, 2021. Both tests will be late night Friday/Early
Saturday morning from 2 AM Eastern Time until 4 AM Eastern (0700-0900 UTC).
So on Christmas night, after all the gifts are unwrapped and the grandkids have
signed off from Zoom?put on some hot chocolate and join us in celebrating the
65th Anniversary of this great local station. Then do it again on New Year?s
night after the bowl games have finished for the day.
WCPH 1220 AM will be doing maintenance testing at their full daytime power of
1,000 watts using their daytime pattern. The station will transmit station
identifications in voice, singing jingles, and Morse Code. In addition, they
will transmit sweep tones, 1 kHz long tones, and other sound effects.
WCPH is currently celebrating their 65th anniversary of serving Southeastern
Tennessee. The station?s branding is ?Homegrown 1220? and ?Southeast
Tennessee?s Oldies Station.? Their nighttime power is normally limited to 109
watts on a very crowded channel?so this test represents a unique chance to log
this one.
Joe Miller, KJ8O has designed a special 65th Anniversary QSL card, which will
be available to those who successfully log this holiday test. At the request of
the station, the Courtesy Program Committee will be handling QSL duties. Our
requirements are as follows:
E-mail is preferred for reporting. Send an e-mail to:
[email protected]
It must include an .MP3 file recording of the best part of your reception.
Please edit this to no more than two minutes in length. If you cannot record
audio, then a detailed written report will be accepted. Please try to include
the exact time that you received each element and the order they were received
in. This can be matched against the source material.
We will also accept reception reports via US Mail. Mail reception reports along
with a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to:
Les Rayburn, N1LF
121 Mayfair Park
Maylene, AL 35114
If your reception is confirmed, you?ll receive a colorful QSL card in .PDF file
format, suitable for printing.
For now, plan your holiday activities around these two great opportunities to
log Homegrown 1220 in Etowah, TN! See you late night on Christmas Day!

Souvenir booklet/CD
It won't surprise you that the months prior to November 8th were fully
focused on preparing, organizing etc.for the 40th Anniversary. There was
hardly/no time for other 'business'. Nevertheless we felt it was the
right moment for a souvenir CD ?nd booklet. And: we had to work on
creating/ producing an unique Anniversary QSL as well. It was not until
a week after the Anniversary broadcast that a start was made to produce
CD, booklet and QSL.
In the mean time the 'ingredients' for the CD have been finished. The
main idea for the special QSL card has been worked out and even better:
the QSL has already been printed. Those who sent a reception
report/letter to P.O.Box 2702 won't regret it: the 40th Anniversary QSL
is (in our humble opinion) a success and looks splendid. It's a folded
A4, printed on heavy quality paper in full color. Wait and see!
For those who sent an e-mail report, regretting (after reading the
above) they didn't go for a hard copy: you can still get your unique QSL
by writing to P.O.Box 2702. We have printed a few extra ones but
remember: this QSL is only issued for the 40th Anniversary broadcast!
Without exaggeration: the hard copy QSL is by far the best option! This
Holiday Season a start will be made replying to all who send an e-mail
report or a letter/report to P.O.Box 2702 ( it was crammed with
letters!).
The booklet will contain 32 pages (!) and only costs 5 euro. That's also
the price for the CD. Payments via P.O.Box 2702 or via Paypal: use
[email protected] .
73s, Happy Holidays

** CANADA. 278-MCW kHz, Dec 23 at 0713 UT, dash and NM, which is
500-watt ND beacon at Matagami, Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6100, Dec 23 at 0555 and 0607 chex, no signal in
English from RHC here; at 0556, 5040 seems Spanish with multi-lingual
ID, including Guarani & Quechua? 6000 in English is S9+10/20 but
suptorted. That leaves 9700 which is VG S9+20 and somewhat
overmodulated with fast SAH: NHK is in HFCC but not in Japan`s own
Aoki/NDXC list; could also be Turkey on late, causing Arnie to nix
this one at least before 0656. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glen
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13765 & 13635 approx., Dec 23 at 1514, distorted FMish
spurblobs with F# tone only S3 from RHC 13700-AM, 65 kHz plus and
minus. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 15285.0545V, Dec 23 at 1601, JBA carrier and audibly
cycling up and down as I try to measure it, captured here at one
instant; R. Manara via RMI for NIGERIA. Ivo Ivanov says it`s not from
Secretbrod, Bulgaria as suspected due to this defect, but presumably
really Issoudun, France as registered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to Doug Brown, London, Ontario who sent a generous
check in US$ on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA, and comments:
``Thanks for another year of great programs, in what has
otherwise been a dark year full of bad news``
One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. The 0100 UT Thursday final airing of WOR on WRMI, 7780 is
being pre-empted this week and next, and I hope, resuming in January.
>From disgraced FB:
``WRMI Radio Miami International, Yesterday at 11:21 AM ?
Recuerda, El ?Mundo Sorprendente? con Berny Solano desde Costa Rica
para la Navidad se transmitir? para las Am?ricas el jueves 24 de
diciembre a las 9:00 pm hora de Miami en 5800 kHz (0200 UTC viernes 25
de diciembre). Ser? repetido el jueves 24 a las 11:00 pm hora de Miami
en 9955 kHz (0400 UTC viernes 25 de diciembre). Y habr? una
transmisi?n especialmente para Europa y el Noreste de Norteam?rica a
la 0100 UTC jueves 24 en 7780 kHz (ser? en la noche de mi?rcoles 23 de
diciembre en las Am?ricas.)``
With translation, but I suspect it is only or mainly in Spanish:
``Remember, The ??Surprising World?? with Berny Solano from Costa Rica
for Christmas will be broadcast for the Americas on Thursday, December
24 at 9:00 pm Miami time at 5800 kHz (0200 UTC Friday 25 of December).
It will be repeated Thursday 24 at 11:00 pm Miami time at 9955 kHz
(0400 UTC Friday 25 December). And there will be a special
transmission for Europe and North America at 0100 UTC Thursday 24 at
7780 kHz (it will be on Wednesday night, December 23 in the Americas.
) Translated``
And a previous item said there would be another such show for New Year
exactly one week later. IIRC, Berny originally invited me to
participate in this show, but I had to decline, already spending too
much time doing stuff in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4980, Dec 23 at 0557, JBA carrier, perhaps WRMI exciter
only, certainly not projected full-power transmission, nor anything
from Asia at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1130, Dec 23 at 0726 UT, Spanish music dominant instead of
KWKH, which is never strong here away from its night pattern; but must
have been in a fade as by 0732 back up to make a fast SAH with the SS;
0737 romantic music; 0741 ``Radio Vida`` ID and a carol.
In the IRCA Mexican Log, of the five 1130s, none is a Radio Vida.
In the NRC AM Log, the only US or Canadian Radio Vida on 1130 is:
WYXE Gallatin TN, D1, 2300 watts, psra 5.4, CH 940, SS religious and
// WSBI 1210 Static [sic] TN, also a daytimer.
And it is a known cheater: From NRC DX News January 7, 2020, a log
from over a year ago in 2019y:
``1130, WYXE, TN, Gallatin ? 12/6 2234 [EST] ? On after sunset with
Spanish language religious music,"...Radio Vida" slogan by female
announcer, more music. Fair mostly over usuals WBBR & WDFN. // to Tune
In stream. First time heard at this location. (PS-ON)``
My E/W longwire does favor this town NE of Nashville. As for its
sibling, even my 2013 Large Scale Road Atlas by Rand McNally does not
index any place called Static in TN! Radio-locator agrees on the name
altho does not depict it on coverage map, which shows site exactly on
the KY/TN border further from Nashville; even zoomed in cannot tell
which state it`s in; nearest towns are Byrdstown TN and Albany KY. The
border in this area looks like a straight E-W line, but on closer
inspexion it`s slightly tilted. Latitude as licensed is 36-27-22 if
that helps. But I don`t have to worry since I haven`t yet heard WSBI
and don`t count states, but if I did it would be by site, not city
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 830, Wed Dec 23 at 0720 UT, WCCO with
monolog about some sport, not its format --- and furthermore with a
continuous quick echo from *another* station with same program /
network; makes slow SAH of 24/minute = 0.4 Hz; and a weaker third
understation with music. Break at 0729 IDs show as `Our American
Stories`.
Program has a huge archive of ``non-political`` shows and
http://www.ouramericannetwork.org/find_station
but you have to click on each state. I do that for every one of the 14
states represented in NRC Log on 830, regardless of language, format
or daytimishness, and not a one of them matches to anything on 830.
Except for WCCO Tue-Sat at 1-2 am [CT]. Our American Network is not
among the numerous ones on the NRC AM Log list page 276, and thus with
an abbr. to show in individual listings.
By night power and format, I figure the two most likely are WCRN
Worcester MA, U4 50/50 kW, which I have never heard, night pattern
nulling the west, but its website program schedule confirms it is not
the one. The other is WEEU, U4 20/6 kW Reading PA, but there is no
program sked to be found on its website. Night pattern is all to the
SE.
KGLA Norco LA, U4 5000/750 is the common QRMer to WCCO, but it`s
listed as Spanish, Radio Tropical. Drastic format change?
A remote possibility is that WCCO is testing a different/backup
transmitter site, if any? QRMing itself. Now I wish had tried to DF
them separately but this was on E-W longwire (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
