[IRCA] GX94/CJGX-AM 940 Yorkton, Saskatchewan
At 1:52 AM Central on Tuesday March 3rd, 2009 I was spinning the AM Dial and coming out of a commercial break and PSA stopset, I heard references The Saturday night country show at 7pm on GX 94 in a station promo and then it was into music. This is CJGX 940 Yorkton, Saskatchewan! The signal was steady, but buried way in the mud fighting with KPSZ 940 Des Moines with lots of fades up and down.

Re: [IRCA] Talking House Transmitter for Sale
Bert and Group; I saw two FM Talking House transmitters at a Goodwill, last Fall for $6 each. They both contained a cassette deck and used a continious loop cassette. They also had a line in. I think that they are both gone, now. Bert - suggestion, ask local realtors if they have a spare to loan the school.

I was considering buying this for my school and having it in addition to the amateur radio setup I'm about to install. Any thoughts? THE TALKING HOUSE TRANSMITTER was originally manufactured for real estate agents and home owners who wanted to broadcast a recorded message advertising a house for sale. This transmitter is placed inside the home and it transmits messages and announcements that can be received on any standard AM radio. The transmitter closely resembles a small VCR and it will broadcast a 100mW signal to any standard AM radio within range. The transmitter soon caught the interest of hobby radio enthusiasts and eventually it became a popular device for aspiring DJ's and announcers who wanted to create their own neighborhood radio station. The transmitter does not require any license to operate and it is completely self contained with everything necessary for easy set up and operation. It will broadcast on any frequency between 530 KHz to 1700 KHz with 100 milliwatts output which is the full legal limit allowed for unlicensed operation. The transmitter features LED frequency selection th! at locks in for a drift free signal on the AM broadcast band. It even features a built in antenna tuner that will automatically calibrate the transmitter for maximum performance to the supplied antenna. The typical range using the supplied 10 foot wire antenna usually averages about ? mile in a suburban area. An external antenna can also be connected to the Remote Antenna Jack on the back panel. Audio can be recorded using built in microphone which stores a 5 minute message that continuously repeats on the audio loop chip. Live audio can also be fed using the Direct Live Input Feed Jack on the back panel. This transmitter can be used to broadscast local messages to recreation facilities, camp grounds, stadiums, block parties, neighborhood fairs, church and school events, or you can just have fun and set it up to create your own neighborhood radio station! Complete with AC adapter included. Excellent condition. Ready to go on the air! $50.00 + $15.00 shipping.

I've always known pirate radio existed there as I have heard them, from the UK unfortunately, but I never realised there were so many.

[IRCA] WTOR-770 open carrier - where to complain?
For the past several months (perhaps for more than a year now) WTOR-770 has been leaving their carrier on all night after sign-off.

In particular, I like to listen to Imus in the morning before WTOR signs on, and can't hear the I-Man too well under the WTOR carrier. I would like to file a complaint, but where or to whom? The FCC likely will not respond to complaints from outside the U.S. Industry Canada and the CRTC have no jurisdiction over WTOR even if they maintain an office in Toronto and virtually all of WTOR's programming is intended for Canadians. Not much point in reporting the interference to WABC, as skywave listeners no longer count for anything to I-A clear channel blowtorches - they're just radio nerds, beyond the range of potential advertising revenue.

Re: [IRCA] WTOR-770 open carrier - where to complain?
Mike, I think you should complain to WABC. WABC might not care that much about us Canadians listening to them, but they probably do care about people in central and upstate New York who listen to them, and if WTOR is on all night, they'll be interfering with WABC's signal in New York State as well as in Ontario. A report to the FCC might get some action too. After all if WTOR is leaving their carrier on all night, they're breaking the FCC's rules, and the FCC takes a dim view of that. Best, Greg Shoom Mike Brooker wrote: For the past several months (perhaps for more than a year now) WTOR-770 has been leaving their carrier on all night after sign-off. Their open carrier is seriously hammering WABC from my location in mid-town Toronto. In particular, I like to listen to Imus in the morning before WTOR signs on, and can't hear the I-Man too well under the WTOR carrier. I would like to file a complaint, but where or to whom? The FCC likely will not respond to complaints from outside the U.S. Industry Canada and the CRTC have no jurisdiction over WTOR even if they maintain an office in Toronto and virtually all of WTOR's programming is intended for Canadians. Not much point in reporting the interference to WABC, as skywave listeners no longer count for anything to I-A clear channel blowtorches - they're just radio nerds, beyond the range of potential advertising revenue. And I doubt WTOR, or their parent company Birach Broadcasting, would give a rat's hindquarters, if they even know what an open carrier is. 73 Mike Brooker Toronto, ON ___ 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 -- $ $ Greg Shoom - sh...@sympatico.ca $ Toronto, Ontario, 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
