[IRCA] KFIR-720 ETC.
Spent the weekend in Redmond, OR and KFIR was OK using the 2010 and the Palomar loop. However, I don't have anything to compare it with so can't really say they are now 10kw vs. their previous 1kw. This is a nice DX area with the likes of KFAQ-1170 (never heard in Tacoma), WCCO-830 (heard once), WBAP, KRLD popping in. Didn't really have a chance to grasp the whole band as it got in to the 30s at night and twas a little nippy out on the deck. Locally at night, KRCO-690 was marginal in Redmond thanks to CBU and the XE; KBND-1110 was OK; KICE-940 was non-existent. I haven't seen the pattern for the new 900kHz station (50kw day, 1+kw at night) in Bend but the growth area is off of Hwy. 97 so to be effective it has to cover Prineville, Madras and Redmond as well as Bend. Most of the FMs cover all the markets either directly or with translators. There is also a new Class IV station planned for Bend (1400 I think). Very good beacon (LW) reception noted as well.

[IRCA] KAST Astoria going IBOC?
I was looking through the new NRC log tonight under IBOC stations and I about fell out of my chair when I noticed that KAST 1370 Astoria listed as IBOC. I would be really surprised as they do not have much of a budget and their transmitter is older. Wishfull thinking? I am going over to KAST tomorrow to resent the CE with one of Scott Fybush's calendars, thanking Tom Freel for the great tour of New NW BCers at the 2006 IRCA convention. The cover of Scott's great calendar is the KAST site. KAST was going to have an X Band station on 1700 (KCHT) that never materialized, so who knows, but IBOC in Clatsop County on AM? Also 1570 was supposed to be a 50 KW station, even a CP that was never built. But time will tell. At least the locals are low power here and rather weak, but IBOC in Clatsop County? The West side of Kauai is looking better all of the time. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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

I liked it better when KFIR was on 1370 though. 720 used to be an excellent TP/DU freq, logging Western Australia, Eastern Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Russia, Indonesia, Hawaii, Alaska, Philippines, etc. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] KFIR-720 ETC.
Hi Pete, Thanks for the interesting report from Redmond. I presume 900 Bend will protect the NW (CKMO). KBND is a powerhouse here at night with KFAB under or mixing. 940 is rare except at LSS. KRCO is u/CBU days and and occ u/CBU at night. I still need to relog 1240 Redmond as the new station. I have the old KPRB from many years back. Even visited the station in the early 70s. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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

Does anyone know where I can find info on the times Radio Disney stations have local IDs and/or spots?

Re: [IRCA] KFIR/QTH question
Patrick, As I am typing, Albany, but a more correct answer is sort of both, hi. Some of our stuff is at the new place. I'm rather excited to start the logbook over, plus I have a couple of acres now to mess with outdoor antenna configurations. I haven't decided where the shack is going to be located yet. On another note, Pete's visit to Redmond made me think of another David Williams who resided there and posted fairly often to this list about two years ago. I don't think he's a member anymore, but he sure did well from his location and was the reason for many of my logging's from here.

[IRCA] TP's for 9/11
Good morning I got up late today so I only listned from 1255-1320. I heard carriers on 531, 558, 567, 585, 594, 603, 648, 657, 666, 675, 684, 693, 738, 747, 774, 819, 828 and 873. After I got to 873 the sun came up. I had audio on 531, 594, 774 and 774. The audio on 531 was the most interesting as I never heard any audio on 531 due to LAX-530. This morning I did not heard LAX-530 at all. Bill Block Prescott Valley, AZ Drake R8 EWE (20x50x20) _ More photos; more messages; more whatever – Get MORE with Windows Live™ Hotmail®.

[IRCA] TPs for September 11
It was an oddly unsatisfying morning here with about the average amount of audio, but nothing particularly news worthy. Conditions seemed to favor Korea slightly over China and Japan. So far this season, including this morning, there seem to be quite a few more channels with multiple audio and more Chinese than has been the norm this early in the season. Over all, it sure looks like we have a great TP season coming up...

I heard DZGE back in the mid 80s. (PM-OR) 1017 Philippines, Iloilo City, DYRP, beautiful signal, with contest or raffle mentioning winning numbers, maybe Bingo? noted in passing several times from 1320-1350, taking calls and many mentions of Iloilo City.

Patrick, I gotta tell you, I've wondered why you don't do just that. I would in your shoes, in a heart beat (easy to say.) I'd vote for Guam. I suspect the coast of living is maybe a bit less. Why not do a DXpedition this winter while business is slow? Check it out! When my high school class turned 65 (we are still a very close group) we voted in a new class motto: If not now, WHEN? You can see the results for me! One of our motivations is that we have started to lose a number of classmates almost all to cancer. Is a big motivator. That exploratory DXpedition might not be a bad way to spend a couple of weeks in February or March. John B. P.S. How is your Spanish??? I bet that they could use a locksmith on Easter Island!

Or - we could encourage Patrick to move to Hawaii, buy a bunch of land and we could keep a steady stream of DXers visiting Hawaii to keep him company - I know, for one, that I could well be first in line. Patrick will have friends that he never imagined having! Go Patrick, Go! As described by the other gents - I did a barefoot Eton E1 session again this morning and although the band looked energized at about 1305 - 1310 UTC, it quickly lost volume and momentum after 1315 UTC. Still - fair audio on 584, 612, 639, 747, 756, 774, 828, 963, 972, 1143, 1287 and 1566. With AM band changing so much with IBOC, the noise levels, QRM from more NSP stations, more high power, etc. It has crossed my mind to give it all up, sell the houses, etc, and take my radio and move to the West side of Kauai or maybe Guam. -- Colin Newell - Editor/Creator - CoffeeCrew.Com | DXer.CA ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] TPs for 9Sep07
When my high school class turned 65 (we are still a very close group) we voted in a new class motto: If not now, WHEN? You can see the results for me! One of our motivations is that we have started to lose a number of classmates almost all to cancer. Is a big motivator. In case anyone has missed it, John Bryant's Easter Island story is front and center on the latest (Sept 2007) issue of Monitoring Times. It is an awe-inspiring and, at times, amusing tale of wild adventure from the far reaches of the Planet Earth - where anything can happen on the radio and all bets are off. I would have loved to see full color pictures from the story - the BW's do not do the piece justice. -- Colin Newell - Editor/Creator - CoffeeCrew.Com | DXer.CA ___ 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

To the group, Unless something comes up at the last minute, I will do a complete MW bandscan on both Thursday (9/13) and Friday (9/14) nights this week to attempt to measure the impact of IBOC, and will post the results on both lists. If I am unable to do the Thursday night scan, I will list the the normal nighttime stations heard from my home, using the built-in ferrite antenna on my Sony ICF-2010 but without the use of any directional loop antennas or longwires.

[IRCA] KAST 1370 IBOC update
I took a copy of Scott Fybush's calendar over to Tom Freel OM at KAST 1370 this morning. Scott, Tom loved it and if we want a tour in the future, no problem, just give him a call. Always glad to do it. Tom thought the tower sites are really cool. Tom said New NW BCer's boss will love it too. I took over a report I had for KKEE 1230 as I never QSL'd the new call and I will be getting an e mail QSL as that is how they handle the QSL requests now. I brought up the subject of HD Radio and I mentioned I saw that KAST AM was going HD. He looked at me and said, well maybe down the road the FM, and New NW BCers want at least one HD in every market they have stations in, however it would be the FM, not the AM. He said can you imagine how hard it would be to get KAST to work with HD? It would too involved and too expensive. As far as FM HD, they are looking into it down the road to see if it is going to work out. I was quite pleased to hear that, no AM HD. By the way, if any station shows an interest it ends up on the list. The reason the AM showed may be because it is the main money-maker here. New NW BCers is going to moving to a new studio site behind City Hall in Warrenton in the next couple of years though. They were going to move down by the river in Astoria but no one wants their big satellite and STL dishes. So the next time we have an IRCA convention on the coast, we will have a brand new studio set up to show off. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] TPs for 9Sep07
John, Thanks for the advice. I have thought many times of moving elsewhere, Guam, I don't know as there are three 10 KW locals there. That might not be too good.

[IRCA] Update on verifications for KEVA 1240 kHz Evanston, WY DX Test
Update on verifications for KEVA 1240 kHz Evanston, WY DX Test On Sept. 11, 2007, I had a very cordial and informative telephone conversation with Michael Richard, organizer of the Oct. 22, 2006 DX Test from KEVA. He apologized profusely for the delay in answering reception reports, and explained that a very busy schedule and the demands of running his own business have left him very little free time. Added to this, his file of reception reports went missing during a studio move at KEVA some time ago. All that said, he is still interested in providing verifications to DXers who heard the test. He promised if listeners will e-mail him, he will verify all correct reports as soon as possible. Although he said he would go on the honor system, I think all DXers worth their salt should resubmit their original reports and/or audio files to Michael. The e-mail address for reports is as before: michaelj @ vcn.com The bottom line: resend, and be patient a little longer and the QSLs will arrive. Thanks again to Michael for the great test, and for his patience in dealing with those of us whose hearts still beat a little faster when we check our mailboxes.

[IRCA] Patrick's DX Heaven
Good Evening, 54 miles North of Grayland, WA there is 40 acres of land for sale near the town of Queets. The price is $119,500. Property taxes are $63.00 a year.

Re: [IRCA] Patrick's DX Heaven
Another possibility would be somewhere in southwestern Australia. I'm not sure about real estate prices but the advantages would include - being in or near a large city (Perth) and all the amenities that go with it - being in a relatively affluent English speaking country - a relatively moderate climate - a few local or semi-local AM stations, including a couple of 50 kwers, but not nearly as many as you'd deal with in the US - many miles of sparsely populated coastline for putting up Beverage antennas - lots of interesting DX targets on the other side of the Indian Ocean - most of the skywave interference from the east would fade out well before dawn - you're about as far as you can get from IBOC interference, assuming the Aussies don't decide to adopt it too Bruce ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] Patrick's DX Heaven
54 miles North of Grayland, WA there is 40 acres of land for sale near the town of Queets. The price is $119,500. Property taxes are $63.00 a year. A prospective buyer should make sure there is no homesteading (as it is known in Fla.) in place that has kept the tax rate artificially low. This sounds really low to me. Would a buyer face a huge increase, as is happening right now in Fla.? Also make sure there are no development rights or mineral rights issues. Can you market the lumber? (prospective income stream?) What road access do you have? 4-wheel? It's located near the ocean (yards) on a heavily forest piece of land. The acreage is located on the Quinault Indian Reservation. That's another thing. Are you limited in how you can use the land or what you put on it? What rights do the Quinault retain? Looks like the nearest AM stations are the two in Aberdeen, WA, 42 miles as the crow flies. Below is a link. Dennis, Vancouver, WA I like the Western Australia concept. Never been there. Probably no 1 on my wish list for places to see before I die. I would give that some serious thought.

Bruce, I've heard JOWF at least three times in the past week or so from here on Orcas... and also, Walt and I compare things each morning you'd think that we would be very very similar, but often we are not. I'd imagine that your inland location pretty much dampens the JJ and CC signals coming down the Gulf of Georgia... I know that the Olympic Mountains and possibly the rest of the San Juans that are between me and Australia (but that the Victoria guys at least partially clear) sure makes it more difficult for me to hear Australia from here on Orcas.

There certainly isn't much these days on 1220 so I am presuming it's all from KWMG on 1210.

Wondering about powering this thing up and seeing if it works... looking for ideas... maybe current value on the collector market?? Phil Bytheway Seattle WA Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please?

Re: [IRCA] Patrick's DX Heaven
Pat, I think that if a Dxer bought the acreage there, they would have to thin a few trees. Being on an Indian reservation, that might be a problem. Those trees suck the AM signals. I have tried to DX in wooden areas, even elevated areas with not much luck on AM. FM signals seem to get through them fine. Being that close to the ocean would be nice. Who knows, the property might not have power running to it. Richard Wood seems to do quite well from Hawaii.
