Re: [IRCA] Mt. Wilson
KTLA is not so negative. However, even they are broadcasting into on the towers on most newscasts, including a bit of the history. Hopefuly the fire will not distroy the sites, but in time it may happen with all of the dry weather in So Cal. 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] Mt. Wilson
Oh yes, those flames look too close on the shots on KTLA (News at 10). KTLA claims they are a mile away, but with flames shotting 60-80 feet up, it doesn't look too positive. They did clear a lot of brush away from the sites the past few days, but is it enough? 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

[IRCA] TPs from Orcas Island: Sept 1 09
There was a decent rebound today here. Not too much at all until just before 1300, a half hour before LSR. It was decent with, for me, quite a bit of DU action, until exactly 1330 when LSR turned off the band. I had DUs at Language Recognition level or better on 612, 702, 828, 846, 891 and 1512. The biggest Guns from East Asia were in, too. It was mostly a low band event with almost half of the lower band channels with at least threshold audio and only ten above 1098. Something was putting in threshold audio beneath the OC from the Marshalls on 1098. Enough of a DU morning that I'm going to get my DU Super Loop back in the mix today, but I suspect the story of the horse and the barn door may be on my mind tomorrow AM.

[IRCA] 531 UnID DU Recording- Assistance Requested
Hello All, During the Grayland DXpedition on August 30th, a foreign language station presumed to be 531-PI in Auckland, New Zealand was recorded at 1320 UTC, mixing with the notorious no-ID Australian pop-music station (presumed to be 4KZ, according to a tip from Leigh Donaldson). The foreign language is certainly not one of the Asian groups, and is presumably a Pacific Island dialect. If any of the New Zealand or Australian DXers in the Ultralightdx Yahoo group (or any other DXers) could take a listen to the MP3 and possibly identify the announcer's voice or the language, it would be most appreciated. 531 kHz has always been a fiasco frequency during my summer Grayland trips, with at least three UnID DU's having been heard this summer.

Re: [IRCA] [Tvfmdx] Mt. Wilson
I recall a long time ago, the late Don Erickson and I had an ongoing debate by letter ( yes, it was that long ago ) about the relative scariness of earthquakes vs hurricanes. At the time I think we both agreed that tornadoes were the worst. What parts of California have to contend with in terms of natural disasters simply isn't fair - earthquakes, monsoons coming in off the ocean, mudslides, and the fires.

Re: [IRCA] Latest from Mount Wilson
I just watched (5:05 PM) a live report on KNBC-4 from directly behind the Mt. Wilson towers. Things must not be so bad if they're allowing the media and satellite trucks up there. KCAL-9 has excellent coverage. They are paired with KCBS-2 but not simulcast so they don't always have coverage when other stations do. They are not covering it at this time. KCAL is supposed to have a Dodger game at 7:00. KNBC screwed up the video of the 5:15 Mars Martin big time; they had it locked in perfectly then it went behind the chopper skid and they lost it. Their audio of the 5:00 news conference was screwed up too. The cable company lets KTLA news get through at the normal newscast times. Right now KNBC is all I can get. Thank you must carry. What's hard to understand is why some of the FM auxs. are also on Mt. Wilson. I believe some are just lower on the same tower. - Original Message - From: Scott Fybush sc...@fybush.com To: abdx a...@yahoogroups.com; Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com; a...@nrcdxas.org Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 5:01 PM Subject: [IRCA] Latest from Mount Wilson If you want to see something really remarkable, watch the webstream from Fox 11 in LA (myfoxla.com) at about 8:15 PM EDT/5:15 PM PDT, as the Martin Mars tanker plane carrying 7200 gallons of water comes around to make another targeted drop on Mount Wilson.

Re: [IRCA] Latest from Mount Wilson
KNBC aired another live report from directly behind all of the Mt. Wilson towers. The reporter and others that could be seen in the background seem to be OK with being up there. KNBC does not have its act together. The NBC network anchor Brian Williams is there and they were interviewing him live. At one point during the interview they were supposed to switch to an interview with some pilots at nearby Whiteman Airport. The interview wasn't ready and he just stood there silent for about thirty seconds with a look on his face like he was looking for a hole to crawl into. He's doing a live western edition of the network news. Somebody botched the transition between the end of KNBC's news coverage and the network news. KCAL-9 is going to have the Dodger game instead of fire coverage. Regarding the convention I'm supposed to arrive in Albuquerque at 6:18 PM Mountain time on Thursday. I don't know how long getting my rental car and getting into my room will take. If others are getting there on Thursday maybe we could meet for dinner. If you're interested please write me directly or call me on Thursday at (805) 455-7116; my cell number. My flight is supposed to leave LAX at 3:30 Pacific time. I won't be able to receive calls between then and my arrival in Albuquerque. I am really looking forward to the convention.

Re: [IRCA] 531 UnID DU Recording- Assistance Requested
Gary, Back in the days (70s) when they were 2KM on 530 and then 531, they IDed after every song. Then in the 80s when they changed to 2MC (Mid Coast Radio) they still IDed with 2 M C or Mid Coast, but after the change over to 2PM (Port Macquarrie) they don't ID like they used to unfortunately. I believe they are a network now too. They have been an old friend for at least 40 years here on the coast. They were always in the clear in the 70s 80s, but after 1XPI came on, the QRM was there. Alexandra NZ was heard on occasion, but not as common. But PI (Pacific Islands Radio) is strong. Then a couple years back when the typhoon tore up the towers of 4KZ, they became common also, after going ND. That has been a jewell of luck for us DXers, as I tried for years to nab them, but never could until the past couple of years. 4KZ generally nulls the NE, but now is ND. I have no idea when they will get their towers back and the DA system back in order. 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
