[IRCA] logs
Hey All, Ya know what I do about logging? I use my ham logbook. The front is filled with enteries but I don`t log my contacts anymore.(I only run 2 meters) So I use the rest of the book for mf/hf contact logging. There are books just made for this kind of use though. I think that I`ll get one when this book is full. Some of the bigger radio stores sell them. I really regreat not running a proper log for so meny years as I had a few that I`ll never hear again here. I just kept a small note book with states and call signs heard.(no dates, program content, ect.) Too bad.

Re: [IRCA] att sites
Missed the first part of this thread but this aroused my curiosity. Was this a spur off of the old ATT backbone microwave network? I worked for Long Lines in the 1960s and had a peripheral job interest in their microwave networks. Off topic, too, I wonder if the coax network that, I believe had a manned (underground, hardened) station in Longmont, Colo., is still functioning. - John S.

[IRCA] Non-support of IBOC
This from today's Inside Radio. No receiver at all, much less one for IBOC. It will receive audio streams, however. It's also interesting to see they expect sales of 10 million units vs. the 300,000 that iBiquity claims for HD Radio receivers - which includes automobile factory-installed units. And it's cheaper than most of them, and does many functions instead of just one for the HD radios. Personally, I hope this is a big fat nail in the HD coffin. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Apple unveils new radio-free iPhone. The next generation of iPhones will run on the faster 3G wireless network and will sport a lower $199 price point. But what it still doesn't include a radio receiver.

[IRCA] ULR ultralight radio scores on FM
Gary and all other ULR Radio FANatics will be pleased to know I logged a couple distrant statiooons on E-skip on FM with the Sony SRF59 on June 4. From Burnt River ON. One of these, a station in Topeka KS on 100.3, is a new catch, and was a shock because I have a strong semi-local in Barrie ON on 100.3 I was unable to null with 'higher-end' equipment. But it was clear as a bell on the ULR, completely obliterating CJLF Barrie. Further experimentation is needed, but this thing is worth watching on FM as well as AM.

Re: [IRCA] att sites
John Sampson said: Missed the first part of this thread but this aroused my curiosity. Was this a spur off of the old ATT backbone microwave network? /// John (and all who are interested), Buckhorn Mountain was an ATT microwave site linking Broomfield, Greeley, and Timnath in CO and Cheyenne and Crow Creek Hill (Laramie) in WY. It was part of the first transcontinental microwave network. The Timnath site linked to the Longmont site which John mentioned. At Longmont the radio path intersected the L4 hardened coax route which linked Denver and Platte Junction WY. Platte Junction was an underground site on the east-west transcontinental cable route. The Longmont site is very visible to anyone travelling on I-25 between Denver and Fort Collins as it is right next to the highway at what is known locally as Mead Mountain or Mead Hill. The CDOT TIS station on 530 kHz that IDs as Mead is also located at that point. The ATT microwave equipment at this site has been removed. But the tower is intact and still in use for mobile telephone and two-way radio. The large building is externally intact. But I do not know if the facility is still an active part of the underground cable route. There is a lot of very interesting historic information about ATT Long Lines available on the Web.

Re: [IRCA] 1737 PNG KUT
I recall searching the FCC files just as the expanded band was opening up and finding a large number of low power beacons licensed to oil production companies in the Gulf between 1600 and 1700 kHz. There were also some high power licenses to power companies in this band - mostly in FL. I suspected that these might be power line subcarrier control circuits. Maybe these activities were moved up above 1700 kHz to make way for the expanded band.

Re: [IRCA] Non-support of IBOC
All can trust the prophet KAZ as he proclaims the cluelessness of the bought off FCC and corporate shills who will increase the ammount of AM IBOC by 1/3 to 1/2 over the next 12-18 months. 2 years after that ..those who still have jobs (95% since their bosses know enuf buzz words) will realize how dumb they were. 73 KAZ - Original Message - From: Patrick Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club ofAmerica irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 10:50 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Non-support of IBOC Thanks Craig.

[IRCA] iPhones and IBOC
Craig wrote: This from today's Inside Radio. No receiver at all, much less one for IBOC. It will receive audio streams, however. It's also interesting to see they expect sales of 10 million units vs. the 300,000 that iBiquity claims for HD Radio receivers - which includes automobile factory-installed units. And it's cheaper than most of them, and does many functions instead of just one for the HD radios. Personally, I hope this is a big fat nail in the HD coffin. You know, Craig, I have a more than sneaking suspcion that within the next couple of decades we're going to see OTA radio (including satellite delivery) go the way of the Dodo in any major population area (or well-travelled highway.) The 'net streamcaster model is going to continue to evolve and will become the preferred method of delivery and programming for Joe Listener. Outside of the areas where a good wireless soup can be maintained you'll still have viable markets for listeners but even they (the stations serving to fill those holes) will have to start thinking about serving the audience rather than shareholder value once more. The down side of all this is that radio stations will drastically decrease in numbers on AM and FM. The up side is that (barring PAC-motivated federal interference) the stations left for us to listen to (and DX) will be much more in touch with their audiences' desires and far less likely to belong to a monolithic entity. So, now's the time to buy those AM and FMs with good coverage *outside* of major metropolitan areas!

Re: [IRCA] iPhones and IBOC
I read of one recent study that showed teens now spend significantly more time listening to music on computers, ipods, and mp3 players that FM radio. And small wonder, too, when you think about it. These devices allow you to sample new tunes at your own pace, personalize your playlists, choose the music you want at any particular moment, and don't carry commercials. It's not at all surprising that companies like Apple are combining wireless devices and music players. They've done their research and have read the trends correctly. In another decade, FM will be frequented mostly by elderly people listening to Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger tunes. Or possibly the talk/sports/ethnic stations will move from AM to FM as music-oriented stations succumb to shrinking audiences. All of which makes me wonder what will happen to the AM band in a few more years. Personally, I would love having fewer stations, since it would mean less interference .
