[IRCA] UNID Need Help Please.....1170 FAITH RADIO....Southern Gospel
Hi Guys: I fell asleep listening to a Southern Gospel Station UNDER WWVA at 0224 EDT..I woke up @ 0342 EDT to the same Station...Only a little Stronger and got a SLOGAN ID that I need help with. The Station Gave an ID as FAITH RADIO. The ONLY inference to this Slogan I can find on the Web is for a FLORIDA Station WKFL Bushnell, FLORIDA. Only problem is that the Station is currently shown as SILENT. The Station heard seemed to be from the SOUTH of me??? Does anyone know if this station has been Re-Activated..the FCC Site shows it as SILENT. Could they be testing??? Or...is there someone else on the Frequency using FAITH RADIO Any and all help on this appreciated. Heard on the SONY SRF-T615 UltralightBAREFOOT. *** 1170 UNID Need Help Nov/01/09 0216-0400 EDT EE FAIR Under and Mixing with WWVA. At times over WWVA when I could null WWVA..but it was tough. Southern Gospel Music from 0216 Tune In. Female Spoke between songs...usually after 2-3 Songs. Fell asleep at around 0227 edt..and awoke @ 0342 to more Southern Gospel and a CLEAR ID by a FEMALE @ 0345 as FAITH RADIO. Into More Southern Gospel past 0400 EDT.

Re: [IRCA] Perseus receiver
Hello Mike The PERSEUS is the tops. I think the future is better PERSEUS type receivers. I cannot see manufactures, that don't go this way, still been in business in 2 years! The BIG problem with PERSEUS is finding the time to listen hi! I guess if you have got a dedicated laptop with a 500GB hard drive you can save some Wav. files. You can then spend time scrutinising them in the quiet DX summer months?

Not a sudden decision by any means as I had been thinking of getting one for almost a year. The sudden death of my old Dell computer was the catalyst I needed. It was approaching it's 9th birthday, well past it's best before date and not worth repairing so a replacement suitable for driving a SDR was found. The Perseus arrived here last Friday and I've spent the past two evenings learning something about it. All I can say so far is Wow! this machine is incredible. Yesterday evening I could see many TA's across the whole band, admittedly most of them were just carriers, but to actually see them is beyond belief. Even on the longwave beacons I could actually read the Morse code IDs being transmitted on the screen. Yet months ago when I first read about this waterfall display in the users manual I thought I will never use that and now I'm thinking I will use it all the time. It's gonna take a while before I learn everyt! hing it can do, but it's gonna be a fun time.

Rob, At the FCC site, there is an email address for questions. I have found the agent listed to be responsive. Sometimes the site lags behind licensing. A few years ago 1100 WCGA was listed as inactive. They were late in paying their license fee, got reinstated, but the website hadn't been updated.

Re: [IRCA] UNID Need Help Please.....1170 FAITH RADIO....Southern Gospel
WKFL may or may not be silent, but any listing showing them as Faith Radio is old and has to do with the old owner, Walker Broadcasting (Keith Walker, not related to me). WKFL is owned by TalkNSports and when it IS on the air, it runs Sporting News Radio. It is usually pretty good about signing off and signing on at the proper times. The person who owns WKFL is from the town I currently work in and is good friends with my best friend, so if something had ahnged, I'd probably find out.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 Nov 2009
I definite improvement this morning, though it was the transpolar path that seemed favoured. CRI from Urumqi on 1521 was doing consistently well, and the CNR1 signal on 1134 was equal in quality to the best of the Japanese, with a solid signal for most of the time I listened. 1107 Urumqi put in a brief appearance around 1349, but didn't stick around like it did back on Oct 21. No Sri Lanka today though. Otherwise things waited until near sunrise to peak. The big Japanese were in general better than they've been for several days. 972 from Korea was missing until near 1400 when it appeared (about the same time as its // on 1134 appeared under CNR. Similarly VOA on 1575 didn't show until around 1400.The lower band seemed supressed this morning, unlike the last while, with even Japan on 594 barely making it through the IBOC noise. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ 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] TP for 2 Nov from Victoria, BC
This morning didn't show much promise here until about 1430UT; at 1400UT, only JOIB-747 was delivering really readable audio. But sunrise enhancement delivered a few interesting snippets, including Mayak-576 as the most powerful signal on the band for a short time at 1436, and HLKF on 567; I have to check my logs as I can't believe it's new here, but it's certainly not usual.

Over the past three days, I have added twelve to the new ULR logbook (not always updated). I know that not everyone keeps one but because I was trying to add to it, I was at the dials. As such, I added two new to the main logbook. Some of the more interesting additions to the ULR book are WTEM 980 DC, WPEO 1020 IL, WGNZ 1110 OH, WLPO 1220 IL, WILB 1060 OH and KMXA 1090 CO. The last two were new to the main book. I have 185 ULR and 785 in the overall domestic (US and Canada) logbook.

Re: [IRCA] Thanks to the Sydney DXers
Quoting Walter Salmaniw can...@gmail.com: Walt, Yes I am glad that you had such a postcard day on Sundaypity it wasn't a poor overcast rainy day..otherwise might have been able to hobble around the crutches... Its a pity that you didn't stay a few days before joining the ship. anyway got the cast off the leg. Gee no wonder the ankle was broken a real mess bruising and swelling no wonder it hurts... Its the famous Melbourne Cup horse race today as your heading towards Melbourne. My tip is Roman Emperor. Yes Symban 2368.5 off air..as interference problems only about 2 miles from the airport! If you and your wife come back, wil lbe pleased to host a get together same for other overseas Dxers..Just need say 3 to 4 weeks notice to organise everyone... Well Walt enjoyyou have the weather for it! Its going to be 35 degrees C today as you sail down the coast...glad that cast is off.. Regards Johno We'll be pulling up anchor shortly and heading to Melbourne. I'd like to thank John and Tony and others in the Sydney area for responding for my request to meet or say hello to DXers wherever I've travelled. I have found this to be a fun and very rewarding experience having met DXers in Italy and Ukraine to name just a couple of places. These people have remained close friends to this very day. Anyway, as luck would have it, we arrived on a lovely Sunday morning in Sydney (temperatures up to 30 degree C). After getting through all of the formalities, and after a city bus tour, we arrived at our ship (the Amsterdam) at noon. I was able to call John and had a very nice chat (while at Bondi beach). As it turned out, most of the DXers in the Sydney area live quite far away from the central core where our ship was moored. I hadn't realized how huge Sydney actually is both by population (4.6 million) and by size (not sure about that, but it's very spread out!). Being a Sunday, parking is a real problem, so we weren't able to meet. Perhaps next time. From here, I've had contact with DXers in New Zealand, and Honolulu, so I'm confident that I'll be able to meet up with some of them at those locations. I do recommend Sydney as a very world class city, and truly lovely (and this is coming from someone living on the WCNA...so already difficult to impress). Gorgeous views from all directions, and wonderful landmarks like the Opera House and bridge! All in all a good start to the vacation. Radio wise, I did turn on the radio very briefly yesterday to confirm nothing on Radio Symban's 2368.5 kHz channel. Also found that my Eton e100 doesn't want to tune past 1620! Strange, as I was hoping to explore the x-band a little more while here. I do have a Grundig Aviator G6, though, courtesy of Colin Newell, so I'll have to fire that one up (it's with me for Radio St. Helena Day later this month). Cheers, mates!

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-2... Anemic at Best
Hello All, Although TP signals in general have been rather poor around sunrise lately, at least there were a few pleasant surprises like Chinese and Korean co-channel stations showing up on frequencies like 558, 585 and 594 kHz because of the weakened Japanese signals. Unfortunately, this morning there was very little co-channel action-- just a trace of something else on 594 khz around 1445, as JOAK' s signal was down in the noise. Efforts were made to check for Nick's Chinese co-channels on 774 and 828, but this morning a DXer here would have been lucky just to find the NHK stations at good levels. Sunrise brought very little improvement in TP signals, and in comparison to a 0900 band check (after local midnight) during the Asian sunset, this morning's TP propagation was paltry indeed. If one has the option, maybe it's time to shift the TP listening time about 5 hours earlier. Despite the awkward early morning hour (which shouldn't bother Perseus owners), many strong TP signals show up around 0900 here in November-- including the 594, 747 and 972 kHz powerhouses (which were received after midnight on a stock Sony SRF-59 in November of 2007, to start off the Ultralight craze). 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP ultralight (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 9' and 6' (side) PVC tuned passive loops (in back yard) ___ 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] Thanks to the Sydney DXers
Hello Walt, Greetings from western Washington, where we are about to enter our 6-month rainy season (to which I'm sure Victoria DXers can relate). In reference to your modified Eton E100, the reason why the radio will not tune higher than 1620 kHz is because you have selected 9 kHz tuning steps (and the radio assumes that you are in an area without any stations on the X-band). Correcting this problem is very easy, and simply involves shifting back to 10 kHz tuning steps. With the radio off, press and release the SYS SET button (this is the same as the ENTER button, when you are directly inputting a frequency). Within three seconds, press 1 and 0 on the keypad, then again press the ENTER button. The display will then indicate 10 khz, to confirm that you have selected 10 kHz tuning steps. When you turn the E100 back on, it will then tune from 520-1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps. Even with 10 kHz tuning steps selected, you may still enter the 9 kHz-split frequencies on the keypad, or tune them in manually with the tuning knob. During all my DXing with the E100 Sliders, I would always leave the radio in the 10 kHz step system, since you can tune in the entire 520-1710 kHz range wherever you go. 73 and Have Fun, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) In a message dated 11/1/2009 9:29:28 P.M.

After getting through all of the formalities, and after a city bus tour, we arrived at our ship (the Amsterdam) at noon. I was able to call John and had a very nice chat (while at Bondi beach). As it turned out, most of the DXers in the Sydney area live quite far away from the central core where our ship was moored. I hadn't realized how huge Sydney actually is both by population (4.6 million) and by size (not sure about that, but it's very spread out!). Being a Sunday, parking is a real problem, so we weren't able to meet. Perhaps next time. From here, I've had contact with DXers in New Zealand, and Honolulu, so I'm confident that I'll be able to meet up with some of them at those locations. I do recommend Sydney as a very world class city, and truly lovely (and this is coming from someone living on the WCNA...so already difficult to impress). Gorgeous views from all directions, and wonderful landmarks like the Opera House and bridge! All in all a good start to the vacation. Radio wise, I did turn on the radio very briefly yesterday to confirm nothing on Radio Symban's 2368.5 kHz channel. Also found that my Eton e100 doesn't want to tune past 1620! Strange, as I was hoping to explore the x-band a little more while here. I do have a Grundig Aviator G6, though, courtesy of Colin Newell, so I'll have to fire that one up (it's with me for Radio St. Helena Day later this month). Cheers, mates!

[IRCA] mini report from off the south-east Australian coast
Well not really a report, but just an observation that the AM (and SW) bands were pretty dead midway between Sydney and Melbourne. Best was 7BU a 2kw station in Burnie, Tasmania on 558. 531 there of course too, but very little else except for the strongest Sydney stations. Having a great time.

[IRCA] Re Boston 1510(and what about..)
The UK had Radio Caroline on 558; Holland had Radio Veronica on 1224 and Radio North Sea International on 800KHz(correct me if I'm wrong),on FM at 100 Megs and on Shortwave at 6225 Khz -49M and 9??? -31M.Their ship was called the Mebo 2 and was anchored off the Dutch coast and ran 100KW on the AM and was easily heard in about 3/4 of Holland.Radio Veronica has survived over the years as a licenced land based station on 1224 and later on as a nationwide FM network.The format is still the same.Bill in BC __ Connect with friends from any web browser - no download required.

[IRCA] software suggestion?
One thing I find happening too frequently when I'm DXing is that I will miss the top of the hour, being intent, it seems, on doing something that could be done at any other time, like checking a parallel. Obviously, I need a timer of some sort, and a PC utilility would fill the bill, given that I'm already using the laptop to tune the radios, record audio etc etc. The woods are full of freeware PC utilities that will warn you when time is up, or in my case indicate that the top of the hour is nigh. Has anyone else investigated such timers, and if so, what do you suggest? I don't mind paying for something that is worthwhile, as freeware sometimes means spyware Thanks.

Re: [IRCA] 1510 Boston and what about-
Bill, I checked my 1955-56 logs from Iceland. Radio Luxembourg was on 1439 kHz. They boomed into Keflavik. One of the very best signals from Europe. They also played pop/rock as you noted. Rock music was just catching on at that time so Radio Lux was very popular. Don K. S.F.
