[IRCA] KOMO PATTERN CHANGE PROBLEMS
I was driving home this morning at 9:15PDT when KOMO-1000 popped on and off in what appeared to be a very late pattern change. The same thing happened again at 9:32 and 9:33. Being this close, I couldn't tell whether they were coming from or going to non-DA or whether it was just stuck.

Re: [IRCA] KOMO PATTERN CHANGE PROBLEMS
Pete I noticed a similar problem with KOMO several months ago at sunset. They suddenly went off the air for a couple of minutes right when they should have switched to the night time DA. I haven't noticed it any other time, so it might have been an isolated incident. Or maybe not.

[IRCA] KFI 640 is now IBOC
Got the word that KFI turned on their IBOC. I can barely notice a slight amount of hiss on 630 off the SW EWE and none on 650, KSTE is stronger. Being nearly 1,000 miles from LA and no antenna really pointed to the SSE. KFI is weaker here than with their old tower that fell. KNX is still the strongest LA area station here. I do notice their IBOC, but not much. The only concern I have is with the splits.

[IRCA] very limited TA for 9 Apr from Victoria, BC
1215 had a carrier just after 0300UT this evening, then gradually went away, but returned with snippets of audio at 0438UTfaded down again, but it's teetering on the edge of audio still. Very few other carriers, 1269, 1134 and 882 noted, as well as weak carriers on 189 and 198. 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] KFI 640 is now IBOC
Hey Patrick: When KFI first came on the air with their new antenna a few weeks (months?) ago, they were blaring in up here, but they are noticeably weaker these days, not much stronger than when they were on their back-up antenna. In listening to KFI tonight, their audio sounds atrocious, indicating they are IBOCing. I can't say I notice their IBOC some 1200 miles to the north, although I have a strong local on 630 that covers up the lower digital sideband noise and enough occupants on 650 to make the upper digital sideband manageable.
