[IRCA] CFWH-570 Whitehorse YT applies to move to FM
The CBC has applied to the CRTC to move CFWH-570 Whitehorse YT to FM (94.5 MHz, 3.3 kW, 420.5 meters). I never have been able to log this station, one on my most wanted, here in Calgary AB. http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2009/2009-296.htm#13 Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to convert the English-language radio station CFWH Whitehorse from the AM to the FM band. The FM station will operate at 94.5 MHz (channel 233C1) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 3,300 watts (maximum ERP of 6,290 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 420.5 metres). The applicant intends to operate the existing transmitters of CBDB Watson Lake, CBDC Mayo, CBDD Elsa, CBDK Teslin, CBDM Beaver Creek, CBDX Swift River, CBQF Carmacks, CBQJ Ross River, CBUA-FM Atlin, CBQK-FM Faro, CBDL-FM Destruction Bay, CBDF-FM Haines Junction and CBDN Dawson City as rebroadcasting stations of the proposed FM station. The applicant is requesting permission to simulcast the programming of the proposed FM station on CFWH for a period of three months from the date of implementation of the FM station. The applicant is also requesting, pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24 (2) of the Broadcasting Act, the revocation of the licence of CFWH effective at the end of the simulcast period. 73, Deane McIntyre VE6BPO ___ 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] 1710
Thanks. My first thought that it was one of the NE US stations, but I could not get a peep off any anenna other than the NE EWE, including the beverage. Later on, a weaker signal showed up on the SW EWE. I am thinking maybe a FE Russian, as it did not meet the LSR time for Europe, and it stayed in until I went to bed. There are some commercial FE stations and maybe someone has started up a new one on 1710, or some pirate. It is not a Radio Rossii or any other Russian I have heard. Raydo Eiress (Air-ess), I have never heard. I wonder if something new? I have never heard a Russian on 1710 before.I have a full 90 minutes on cassette, with IDs. I will try again toniight.

Re: [IRCA] CFWH-570 Whitehorse YT applies to move to FM
Wow!! What a surprise. I have been fortunate to log and QSL CFWH and also the one of 610, but they are rare and it took a beverage aimed N/NW to log them some years back. I am sad to hear about this as it will make future loggings of the Yukon almost impossible, as 610 is really tough. Then, how soon will they move to FM, leaving only a handfull of LPRTs. 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] 1710
The signal comes and goes here; occasionally will fade up for 20 seconds at 6-6.5 level, then down into the mumbling. I hoped it would get better as it got dark but so far (9:10p.m.) that hasn't happened. About the same level as it was at 7:45p.m., when it did get a little stronger than earlier in solid daylight. Appears to be a female or young-sounding male talking/preaching (?), on the fadeups. I only (barely) hear it on one antenna--the big terminated corner loop that's supposed to favor medium wave TAs, but has proven to work well at the high end of the band in the opposite direction, for 1566 and 1575 Korea and Thailand Pacific TPs. So it could certainly be hearing signals to the west where Walt and Patrick are hearing this 1710 one much better than I am. While typing this I was hearing mumblings at the start but the past 5 minutes, nothing at all (9:18p.m. PDT). Whoops, just got another fadeup, the higher-pitched voice talking, occasionally at 6.5/poor level. Just hit 7 level for a few seconds, and the E/W ALA100 loop is now hearing it, but not as well as the corner loop. It does sound like a young man with a higher-pitch voice talking/preaching; just cut into short music interlude, 9:21p.m, now faded down to nothing again.. now back up for a few seconds, with choral music. 9:26p.m. with more of vocal music heard, very poor to poor level. That reminds me of the 1710 pirate I heard several years ago that seemed to loop to the north, but apparently no one but I heard it, for several nights in a row, and it was playing more traditional odd 6MHz pirate broadcasting stuff. But that was clear and 8-level strength too.

Re: [IRCA] 1710
Patrick There's a fair number of Russian immigrants in the Seattle area.

Re: [IRCA] 1710
Well, if Pat has it best on his NE EWE, and Gary barely hears it, close to Seattle area, and I don't hear it at all on my big E/W longwire, then perhaps it is not so unlikely that it is east of Gary and not in the Seattle area at all, and is perhaps skipping up to Walt in Victoria. It's been up and down as before, with decent levels for short periods, but is mostly still heard on the fade downs. Sometimes it sounds like children in the background; maybe it's coming from somebody's home. But is certainly interesting to try to figure out.

This is with a 30 loopstick ICF-2010 coupled up to a 4' box loop. I'm very sure about the E-W bearing though-- it's either from Tacoma, or something east of here (unlikely).

[IRCA] 1710 - Anyone in Tacoma listening???
Here on Bainbridge Island, I get a het that is due north/south, based on a simple null on a Sony 7600GR and a crate loop - very weak and it comes and goes, similar to what others are reporting. I haven't heard any audio. So, if it's west of Gary in Puyallup, by triangulation that puts it in the Tacoma/Lakewood area. HEY PETE TAYLOR IN TACOMA - GOT YOUR EARS ON??

Re: [IRCA] CFWH-570 Whitehorse YT applies to move to FM
Patrick I have heard CFWH several times at Grayland on northwestern Beverages. I make a point to check 570 on DXpeditions as a possible indication of good Alaskan or TP openings. It has been known to dominate when northern conditions are really good. I logged CKRW-610 once in the early 70s at signoff under KFRC. KONA and the Canadians signed off every night back then, which made it possible to hear the Yukon station. Even so, I think I was incredibly lucky to have heard them. Bruce Patrick Martin wrote: Mike, Yes 610 was a real toughie with 2,000 feet going N/NNW, but CFWH was logged a couple of times.

[IRCA] slightest TA hint * 2
More minimalist DX.hint of a carrier on 783. at 0433UT, possibly Mauritania, then at 0450, noticed a carrier on 1565.9998Benin? These both seem to be to the northeast, though so weak, it's hard to get an accurate null on them Nothing else, even on longwave, but that's way more than I would have expected at this time of year. 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] 1710
Where's Dennis Vroom when we need him? He could add a valuable bit of info on level and direction in the Portland/Vancouver area. The signal never gets any stronger here than it did before and hasn't hit the peaks of before. But it fades up for half a minute to weak level, then down for several minutes into nothing, or mumbling. The hash from 1700 is much worse now that the evening skip is in. And I'm still only hearing the signal on my lesser antennas, not the big E/W longwire or the 400' N/S longwire. 10:32p.m., it's faded up to poor level at the moment with vocal music.

Re: [IRCA] 1710
I have a weak het due south of me from Bainbridge Island: no audio, but it fades up and down like it does for others. So, if it's west of Gary, that definitely puts it in the Tacoma/Lakewood area.

Re: [IRCA] 1710
Really difficult to get a bearing on this as it is fading so erratically, but assuming it's not out in the Pacific, it seems to be bearing somewhat east or maybe just a tad north of east from here. Seems hard to get that to jibe with Gary's observation though.

Re: [IRCA] CFWH-570 Whitehorse YT applies to move to FM
Hi Bruce, I remember you logging CKRW. Yes, that is a rare one. I noted CFWH a time or two with the NW EWE, but after I logged and QSL'd it I did not check as often. It may have been there other times. I always look for KFQD or KYUK as they are much easier than CFWH. KVI is pretty strong here too. 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

At 09:50 PM 5/21/2009, you wrote: I'm getting the same thing in Seattle. It sounds like a woman taking at threshold level, but it's not strong enough to ID the language. Obviously not a Russian Far East station at this hour, but I'm not sure what else it could be. . Bruce I got called out at 9:00 pm for a delivery and just returned at 10:40 pm (05:40 UTC). The best antenna I'm using now is the ALA 100 which I have aimed to the SW/NE. At times it fades up very well (ie 05:48) with religious choral music. Then it'll fade down into the mud or close to it. This style of music, if Russian, would be associated with Protestant/fundamentalist denominations. Not, for certain, Orthodox or traditional Russian Orthodox music. Therefore, I suggest that it might be a Russian Protestant congregation in the Seattle/Tacoma area? Maybe a look in the phone book might yield something. I agree that it sounds Russian, but would like to confirm the language with a better quality clip from someone (mp3 please)Walt ___ 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
