[IRCA] KRKO 1380
It sounds like KRKO may be on their 50 KW tonight. Not an issue here to speak of, but the IBOC is on. Off the NE EWE, the IBOC is strong on 1390, but on the Eastern beverage, the IBOC hash is weak. Off the Eastern beverage KRKO is lost in the jumble. The four sticks KRKO is using must be pretty tight as the FCC info states off their main lobe to the NW 4,000 uv and off 215 degees to the SSW, 430 uv. I will check it out in the morning to see what their 34 KW ND sounds like, if they are using it as yet. As usual the IBOC is causing their analog audio to sound very muddy and uncomfortable to listen to as all of the night IBOC skip.

[IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX....UNID 1460 Khz...Need Help from the Guys in TENNESSEE!!!!
Hi Guys.I have a UNID I heard this morning at SUNRISE between 0605 and 0630 EST. I THINK I know who it isbut any help or Confirmation on this would be great!!! Radio Used was...SONY SRF-T615 with 2 1/2 Foot Homebrew Tunable Box Loop. I am listing this as a Tentative Logging for now *** 1460 WEEN Lafayette, TENN.

Another ID by Male DJ as SOLID GOSPEL 105. BEAMING Southwest from London, Ontario If them...This is a NEW STN. 860/119 Watts ROSS, ONT. Now here's the Scoop on this and how I arrived at WEEN. Beam is to the South west from London, Ontario...which would be in Line with Nashville Tenn. There is only 2 Stations on 1460 using Solid Gospel Slogans...the other is in MARSHALL, NC...and the beam is nowhere near there. The Only Info on the Net pertaining to a station IDing as SOLID GOSPEL 105 comes back to a Station on 104.9 FM WBOZ in Woodbury, TENN. Woodbury, Tenn and Lafayette, Tenn are quite close together, with Lafayette being a little North of Woodbury. Both stations are very close to the NASHVILLE Market. I can't find ANY Affiliation between these 2 Stations.But maybe something has changed and they now are Sister Stations??? SoIs there anyone down in Tennessee...especially near NASHVILLEthat can offer any info on this?? I can't see any other possibilities for this other than WEENin spite of their LOW POWER!!

[IRCA] KRKO
KRKO 1380 Everett WA is indeed on full power in HD. With local KAST-1370-Astoria at S9+40 DB, I am getting KRKO-1380 at S9+25 DB. At 5.6 miles from KAST, I can easily detect the hash on their signal, not a lot but it is there.

Re: [IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX..UNID 1460 Khz..More Info on this From Doug Smith in Nashville!
Another thought occured to me. With the Solid Gospel Network being headquartered at WBOZ, maybe they are uplinking WBOZ's signal in whole (without any locla mentions removed) so they dont have to have two seperate feeds, one local and one satelitte. It is possible that WEEN simply isn't programming in anything overnight in terms of local elements (liners, spots, or ids) and that was also the case.

[IRCA] HDTV Converter Box Hash

Does anyone know if newer HDTV sets, which don't need the converter box, also give off a lot of noise, via either direct radiation and/or up the power lines?

Re: [IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX....UNID 1460 Khz..Reply to Barry'scomments......
Whoa y'all! 10watts.com reveals that Cullman AL 1460 also has the Solid Gospel slogan (and suggests the NC one has a similar format but another slogan). Lists are not perfect. Perhaps people local to these (if any) can listen to help settle this. Otherwise, Rob, this seems one of those cases where a few quick calls might help solve this. I'm also mildly skeptical of how deadly accurate these beam headings are in terms of the stations that come in. Anyhow, this is one of the lists' more interesting whodunits. My guess, purely randomly, is Cullman.

Please don't take this the wrong way - all I'm saying is that if you're going to use antenna orientation as an aid to ID'ing stations, you need to have a realistic idea of what the antenna pattern looks like. I guess what puzzles me is your use of the term beam, which implies (to me, anyway) the existence of a narrow lobe, such as that produced by an array antenna like a yagi, or a traveling-wave antenna like a beverage. It's not possible to produce a narrow lobe like that with a small antenna, which typically has a short dipole figure-8 pattern. Now, if you use the nulls in that pattern to determine direction (i.e., nulling the unid station), that's a different story, but even then, it can be tricky to get good direction-finding accuracy. A good way to check would be to try measuring the direction of some known stations, and then looking up their headings to see how well you did. Just trying to be helpful, not critical...

Re: [IRCA] HDTV Converter Box Hash
I have an Insignia sitting in the box in the other room. Never used it as there is no digital here. The Toshiba EDTV has the digital tuner, so I may never use the converter box anyway. I wonder why the converter boxes makes noise when the TV sets do not with the digital tuners? I presume the digital tuners don't in the sets, but there is no digital here so I guess I wont know until we get some. How far out does the digital noise carry? Fortunately most people have Dish, Direct, or Cable here.

Re: [IRCA] TA for 23 Feb from Victoria, BC
Nick, Thanks for the tip. Almost threshold audio here on 1215, but terrible splatter from Auburn WA (SS) on 1210. Also noted a fair carrier on 1053.

[IRCA] TA for 23 Feb from Victoria, BC
Got some pop mx fighting through the splatter on 1215 which seems to match Absolute Radio's webstream at 0445UT. There's a lot of wispy carriers around, but the beefiest seem to be 1377, 1053, 1107, 945, 873, and 864, and even 711 for a moment. best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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] HDTV Converter Box Hash
- Original Message - From: sa...@sounddsl.com Does anyone know if newer HDTV sets, which don't need the converter box, also give off a lot of noise, via either direct radiation and/or up the power lines? Kevin: I have a Pioneer plasma HDTV receiver and it does put out a lot of noise. As I never use the digital tuner I can't say if it's coming from that part of the receiver. I'm the only one here that uses it, and never when I'm DXing, so the noise is not a problem for me.

[IRCA] KRKO and KONP-540?
Was in Victoria for two straight days of Rotary meetings this weekend. Today I noted a very loud KRKO-1380 complete with IBOC hash on either side. Not much question that they started a day early. On my drive home to NE Tacoma from Port Angeles between 6-8:15pm PST, they did not stand out and I simply could not tell if they were on their night 50kw rig or had their IBOC on. Victoria has two locals on 900 and 1070. I could not figure out any combination of frequencies which would create a mixing product resulting in KONP-1450's appearance on 540 on the E100. I listened for it on the car radio in Port Angeles but it was dark by then and CBK ruled. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Re: [IRCA] KRKO and KONP-540?
Hey Pete: It was probably a 910 khz IF image (twice 455 khz = 910 khz, and 1450-910 = 540). My e100 has the same problem with the 455 khz IF. Since KONP is only supposed to be 1000 watts, they were getting some pretty good over-the-water coverage that day! I know that Gary DeBock gets a hefty image on 540 from his local KUSH as well. 73 - Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA Victoria has two locals on 900 and 1070.
