Re: [IRCA] 800 KPDQ Portland
They have been 1000/500 watts ND. I don't know if they have put up their second tower for 1000/600 watts. Supposed to be directional West a bit, but still not a tight pattern with only 2 sticks. You should try to catch them around LSS before they drop power. Penticton holds the channel here most nights.

[IRCA] Fw: ARLB005 It's official! Morse code requirement ends Friday, February 23.
- Original Message - From: W1AW Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: W1AW List: Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 7:55 AM Subject: ARLB005 It's official! Morse code requirement ends Friday, February 23. SB QST @ ARL $ARLB005 ARLB005 It's official! Morse code requirement ends Friday, February 23. ZCZC AG05 QST de W1AW ARRL Bulletin 5 ARLB005 From ARRL Headquarters Newington CT January 24, 2007 To all radio amateurs SB QST ARL ARLB005 ARLB005 It's official! Morse code requirement ends Friday, February 23. Circle Friday, February 23, on your calendar. That's when the current 5 WPM Morse code requirement will officially disappear from the Amateur Radio Service Part 97 rules. On or after that date, applicants for a General or Amateur Extra class Amateur Radio license no longer will have to demonstrate proficiency in Morse code. They'll just have to pass the applicable written examination. Federal Register publication January 24 of the FCC's Report and Order (RO) in the Morse code proceeding, WT Docket 05-235, starts a 30-day countdown for the new rules to become effective. Deletion of the Morse requirement - still a matter of controversy within the amateur community - is a landmark in Amateur Radio history. The overall effect of this action is to further the public interest by encouraging individuals who are interested in communications technology or who are able to contribute to the advancement of the radio art, to become Amateur Radio operators; and eliminating a requirement that is now unnecessary and may discourage Amateur Service licensees from advancing their skills in the communications and technical phases of Amateur Radio, the FCC remarked in the Morse code RO that settled the matter, at least from a regulatory standpoint. The League had asked the FCC to retain the 5 WPM for Amateur Extra class applicants, but the Commission held to its decision to eliminate the requirement across the board. The RO appearing in the Federal Register constitutes the official version of the new rules. It is on the web in PDF format at, http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov /2007/pdf/E7-729.pdf. Until 1991, when a Morse code examination was dropped from the requirements to obtain a Technician ticket, all prospective radio amateurs had to pass a Morse code test. With the change the US will join a growing list of countries that have dropped the need to demonstrate some level of Morse code proficiency to earn access to frequencies below 30 MHz. The new rules also put all Technician licensees on an equal footing, whether or not they've passed a Morse code examination. Starting February 23, Technicians will gain CW privileges on 80, 40, 15 meters and CW, RTTY, data and SSB privileges on 10 meters. Once the revised rules are in place, an applicant holding a valid Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) for Element 3 (General) or Element 4 (Amateur Extra) may redeem it for an upgrade. A CSCE is good for 365 days from the date of issuance, no exceptions. For example, a Technician licensee holding a valid CSCE for Element 3 may apply at a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) test session, pay the application fee, which most VECs charge, and receive an instant upgrade. The FCC RO includes an Order on Reconsideration in WT Docket 04-140 - the so-called omnibus proceeding. It will modify Part 97 in response to ARRL's request to accommodate automatically controlled narrowband digital stations on 80 meters in the wake of other rule changes that became effective last December 15. The Commission designated 3585 to 3600 kHz for such operations, although that segment will remain available for CW, RTTY and data. The ARRL had requested that the upper limit of the CW/RTTY/data subband be set at 3635 kHz, so that there would be no change in the existing 3620 to 3635 kHz subband. The ARRL has posted all relevant information on these important Part 97 rule revisions on its FCC's Morse Code Report and Order WT Docket 05-235 Web page, http://www.arrl.org/fcc/morse/. /EX ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Nick, Thanks for catching the mistake. It was 1116 kHz. Been checking the frequency daily hoping to hear the Australian station. Was surprised to hear the Chinese station. It's carrier was het against another weaker carrier. Checked other Chinese channels 1206-1377-1593 kHz. The only with a decent carrier was 1593 kHz, no audio though.

Yes they are in here also, especially the two lower ones which are both very clear. I've got a carrier on 1575 also, the two top one's I can hear audio but is unintelligable.

[IRCA] 800 KPDQ
I've been able to phase out the much stronger CKOR tonight to hear KPDQ from Portland with at times excellent reception, and then fading down again. At 6:55 PM local, a network religious program with a Dr. Yusuf concluded and into local IDs and ads. There also appears to be another religious programmer as well as a Spanish speaker at much weaker strength cochannel. Walt Salmaniw, Victoria -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[IRCA] TA?
Last night, 160 meter hams in Ontario and Arizona reported a good opening to northern and eastern Europe, so might be worth checking tonight. All that was heard here was a very weak het from 1215, mostly visible on Spectran only. Tonight the het is stronger, and, strangely, given that it is the only TA het being heard, it is sometimes accompanied by another carrier about 2.5 Hertz lower. Only heard on the northerly Flag. Maybe the MWoffsets people will know something... best wishes, Nick Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, B.C.

Re: [IRCA] [Heathkit] Another new ham will hit the airwaves soon
Two thumbs up Robert! Good for you and welcome! Remember that brilliant bunch of brawling farmers that formed the Conservative party and set forth this bromide: Waste not, want not? This gets right into serious Descartes neuron mapping of a surviveable trail through the Carnivor infested jungle of truth in journalism! For one can not waste that which one does not have, but only wants to have. Nor can one want that which one does not know first exists to want. Hence, one can not waste a want on a whim, only a piece of produce with a price in flux upon it. Now this ancient bromide endured until a brilliant professor of lower learning at a higher priced academic reformatory discovered that the Devinchi code when applied to the individual characters and the resulting numeric value combined with the other characters numeric values and then the 'mean' for the entire bromide determined, caused the translation from its original roots in formal English to be altered. So Waste not, want not, becomes If you do not want to have a waist that truly is a waste! Then do not waste your days wanting less waist, but avoid eating your way through the salad bar and then devouring the dessert bar due to shame from guilt. The means to the end, that is, the way to not have a big butt is to want not and your waist will shall overcome your wast fill impulses! So Bob, what you have done is not a waste, but a means to the end of looking at the AES catalog and lusting after that beautiful Brass cast straight key with those .925% Silver TX posts, deep luster black base with light refracting clear lacquer finish and smart Dit/Dah grip that instantly molds itself to perfectly match the painful arthritic joint crippling those long hours of code practice caused. No more Bob! Now you can legally send Morse code all over the planet and beyond! Please do not let the fact that being able to send and receive five words per minute of Morse code is no longer a requirement to get your Ham license. The rumor mill has it that members of the QCWA, Quarter Century Wireless Association, (you must send CW for at least 25 years before they allow you to pay your dues and join their organization), is now giving a special WAS certificate (worked all states) to members who now pound Brass with their toes because BBS (brittle bone syndrome) in their hands causes accidental characters to be inserted when a muscle or tendon suddenly does a little Chubby Checker Twist twitch! Now with the code gone, no more of that to worry about! So welcome to the Morse free and mouse driven world of Ham Radio. Which raises the question: If a person is a Ham, is he/she necessarily a Pork byproduct? Who cares! Welcome Bob, glad to have you among the ranks! Remember! You can get your QST issues free if you time your monthly visit to the recycled paper pickup branch office just right! Depending on the weather, a couple of green stamps or a hot mug of coffee or hot chocolate, and you leave with that year's issues in your Be green! Recycle!

Re: [IRCA] What happened to x e q i n?
Hi Tim and all, I heard x e q i n tonight in the five o'clock hour, but it must be ever since last month, they haven't been signing on at five in the morning, and some evenings, I couldn't get them after 6 pm here in Oakland, so that's why I was wondering. On Wed, 24 Jan 2007 17:30:21 -0800, Tim Hall wrote: Hmm, I can't tell - During the day I have to go way inland to hear them due to increased KCBQ-1170 slop in recent years (there's generally no trace of them at my home 12 miles inland). At night I get nothing but KSL and of course KCBQ slop.
