Funny, but when I search the Sears.ca website, no sign of a Grundig G8. 
Haven't updated it yet.  I don't see a Xmas wishbook listed yet,

Doesn't surprise me Walt. Over the years I have found many products listed 
in the catalogs are not listed on their website.

[IRCA] CYJM 1330 logged in IL

[Neil Kazaross]

Tonite's sunset skip was basically a waste of time as stuff from the NW 
didn't come in early enough. But with things being quite quiet I went out 
later to check DX and noted CFSL 1190 really nice with C&W with just a 
little phasing needed to wipe out WOWO. Hmmm..with things this good to SK 
and with these BOGs aimed NW I had to try to see if I could finally (after 
endless hours of trying) pull out CJYM.


Without phasing WYHI  IN was all over 1330 but with phasing they are gone. 
WLOL MN wasn't the big pest as is common and KWLO  IA seemed semi dominant 
and some of their songs could be called oldies. Anyhow with KWLO into ads 
and fading there was other oldies in the mix..and then at

2229:30 CDT  fading atop "Classic Hits 1330 CJYM"

This guy is from western SK so it is quite a distance from here. I tried for 
the // on 1210 but with 250 w at night I expected nothing and as usual it 
was KOKK on these antennas with WPHT phased out.


This Phased BOG System is nothing but 325 ft of wire on the ground across my 
eastern field // 185 ft. The set up is very directive across the upper 40% 
of the band. Longer is better for lower portions, but it is still effective 
noting that this a similar setup is the only way I managed to log CKUA 580 
last season.

Re: [IRCA] Thanks So Much, Phil!!!

[Phil Bytheway]

You are ALL most welcome it has been a pleasure serving IRCA and it's 
members.
 
I took over as Editor-in-Chief with the 12/19/2003 DXM and was EiC for 170 
issues.
However, I have been publishing the "SDXM" (soft-DX Monitor) since 8/29/96 
too many issues to count!!!
 
I am still around running the IRCA Bookstore... but now I will have more time 
to DX and perhaps attend DXpeditions!!!
 
Y'all can best serve IRCA and the DX community by reporting what you hear to 
this forum AND the club's editors. This will keep the hobby alive and kicking 
for a long time.
 
Again, thanks to all who supported me during my stint as EiC... I'm certain you 
will all support Dan as much (or even more) that me.
 
I will be attending the IRCA Convention in Albuquerque this year and encourage 
all DXers to attend (Sept 18-19).

If anyone out there in Canada is thinking of getting one of the new portable 
DSP receivers I noticed that the Grundig G8 is listed in the latest Sears 
Christmas Wish Book which was delivered here today. Priced at $59.99CAN it's 
slightly more expensive than the Tecsun versions on eBay, but without the

listed on Future Shop's website at the same price, tho they call it a

Re: [IRCA] RE 1530

[John Callarman]

Music in English and a lady in Spanish sounds like Los Cuarenta Principales 
format ... sort of a Radio Disney pace ... rather than Radio Fiesta, which 
plays more traditional Mexican music. XESD, León, Guanajuato, has been heard 
here in North Texas with Los 40 Principales ... It's licensed 10,000 day, 100 
night ... but 100 night is meaningless in Mexican station reality.

Billings here. As of 0700 MDT nothing on 1530 except for static. Paul is 
correct with his post. I think there are a couple of CP's for this area but who 
knows if or when they will ever come to transmit. Billings is saturated as it
