[IRCA] Carrier on 693 at 0845
I was getting a carrier on 693 at 0845z just now. Is this Japan? Is it too late for Azores? I am recording right now or else I would go back to see if there is any audio. I think there are slight traces on 747 and 774. I need to get a west directional antenna up.

Bill, If you are getting carriers aso on 747 and 774, it is very likely all three are JJs. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL 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] [NRC-AM] Carrier on 693 at 0845
Patrick, It is certainly possible, but this will remain a mystery; I went back over the recording and there was just too much slop and the signal on 693 was just barely over the noise floor. Whatever it was, it has faded out. It looks like this is something to chase later. What is sunrise in the Azores anyway?

Re: [IRCA] Talk on 890 AM?
Tim beat me to it. If it is Christian talk it must be KLFF, although that's a very long distance for a 5 KW non-directional diplexed (off KXTK-1280) electrically very short tower. However nothing else seems likely. They have a CP to increase to 12 KW non-directional daytime but the FCC web site doesn't show a license to cover so they're probably still at 5 KW. That site will be triplexed at some point in the future. There's a CP for 1060 to use the existing towers and add one more. Triplexing is unusual but a little over a mile away I have three stations (KZSB-1290, KCLU-1340 and KIST-1490) using a single (KIST's) tower. Honolulu has a couple of triplexed sites. 73 - Original Message - Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 19:49:21 -0600 From: Paul B. Walker, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IRCA] Talk on 890 AM?

[IRCA] TPs on Orcas Nov 8: Mediocre Minus
There haven't been many poor mornings this Fall, so I can't complain too much It was just POR. Only the strongest regulars were there, almost exclusively on the Low Band. Most were stronger an hour before dawn that at dawn enhancement. The only ones above language-recognition level were JJs: 567 early, 747+774+828 all at 8s early and 945 CNR1 at 8 late. There were about a dozen other low banders, at 6s or 7s. There was noting TP of particular interest. I continue to note KJNO, Juneau on 630 with Fox Sports over-running the Seattle religious blaster. This morning, I decided to check a few other Alaskan frequencies and got 670-KDLG//890-KBBI running BBC overnight with a soccer game between Manchester United and someone... that was a real audience grabber in Alaska, I'll bet. I also found 750-KFQD, 580-KRSA, 800-KINY and 930-KTKN. I suspect that most of them are usually in at dawn, thanks to the directional characteristics of the Wellbrook array... and the fact that I look right up the coast at southeastern Alaska. Well, it is less than a day until there is more DX. John B.

[IRCA] Alberta non-TPs for 8 Nov 2008
Certainly not much happening here in Alberta this morning. No TP audio at all, and only very modest carriers. A fair number of DU carriers, but the only one that reached audio was on 567. The low band seemed favoured once again. Did hear TP carriers after 0700 last night, but certainly no audio here. On the other hand, Marshall Islands on 1098 had audio around 0830, which would have been quite clear if not for the Seattle splatter from 1090 73, Nigel Pimblett currently at Lamont, AB ___ 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

[IRCA] KNBR silent period
This morning I woke up a little after 4, and turned the radio on to find KNBR off. I had about an hour to sit with this and get some loggings... mostly I heard soft jazz instrumentals with occasional Ciento Siete voiceovers between songs, no spots of any kind. About 10 minutes before the hour another signal rose up with Tina Turner, heard Grupo ACIR, and someone doing the Mexican NA behind it. A little past the top of the hour, I heard a clear X-E Oro ID, with detailed station information. KNBR came back on about 5:20 PST. I did some checking online and I am guessing that I heard the following: Ciento Siete is likely XECHG, Chilpancingo, Gro. as Fred Cantu shows this station to have a 107.1 // but he shows the ID as Ke-Buena. Never heard any Ke-Buena. Grupo ACIR is probably XESON, Hermosillo, Son. That's based on looking through the ACIR website. X-E Oro is XEORO, Guasave Sin. I hear lots of Sinaloa stations here so that would be a most likely logging anyway. This is the first time I heard anything IDable from California or Nevada on 680 since I started DXing in 1970. I am very pleased with this!! I will send you a proper submission, Patrick.

Re: [IRCA] Talk on 890 AM?
Was it during the day or at night? Travis AFB in Fairfield recently started broadcasting a TIS-HAR type station geared to the servicepeople stationed there.

They originally gave calls KIRB in a tape loop, but do not find it in any FCC databases. Severe interference from KDXU/KLFF, etc at night, and I'm probably less than 10 miles from the base.

My friend is driving in the Vacaville, CA area and hearing talk, in english on 890 kHz. Who is it? Im not sure it's KDXU St George-Cedar City0, as their schedule suggests Dr Laura and it didn't sound like that's what my friend ehard. Any ideas? -- Sincerely, Paul B.

[IRCA] Afternoon activity
Hi,Between 1500 and 1600 PST (when I have time to scan with barefoot 60s era AM FM portable) all the 50krs drop in with night time signals from places like S.F.on 810,Reno 780,Sacr 1530,Eug,OR 1120,Port 1190,SLC 1160,Cal AB 1010,Sask 540,etc.Also,a 980 is cutting into CKNW Van BC but is not stable enough for ID with Van at zero signal,and is still there after dark(A Station not powering down?).How can these signals be so strong at 3PM and earlier?Is sun angle low enough for E layer to disappear ? With conditions this good in early November it should be possible to hear these guys all day in December with the sun even lower.Bill in Vic BC. __ Looking for the perfect gift?

Re: [IRCA] KNBR silent period
AARGH! A couple years ago, I got word of a silent period for both KNBR and KTCT and announced it here. The East Helena MT test on 580 got re-arranged to that date because of the silent period. I wish I would have known about this one...I can't get Las Vegas/670 from here since I can see KNBR's stick from my home.

Don, Curtis lives way across town from me, in the southwest corner near the Medical Facility with all those metal wires strung out in straight lines... he must have better reception as a result. :-) Let me know if you can hear the Travis AFB station on 890.
