[IRCA] Move of CBXP-1240 Tahsis BC to FM approved by CRTC
The move of CBXP-1240 Tahsis BC a 40 watt low power relay of CBCV-FM Victoria BC to FM (90.5 MHz, 46.5 watts, -209 meters) has been approved by the CRTC: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2009/2009-710.htm CBCV-FM Victoria – New FM transmitter at Tahsis 1. The Commission approves the application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CBCV-FM Victoria in order to operate a low-power FM transmitter at Tahsis, British Columbia. The new FM transmitter will replace the licensee’s AM transmitter CBXP Tahsis. The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application. The implementation is subject to the notification by the Department of Industry (the Department) discussed in paragraph 5 below. 2. The new transmitter will operate at 90.5 MHz (channel 213LP) with an effective radiated power of 46.5 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of -209.0 metres). 3. The CBC submitted that this change is necessary because the new landlord of the current site for the AM transmitter CBXP has advised the licensee that the present lease would not be renewed. It decided to replace its AM transmitter with a new low-power FM transmitter in order to maintain its present Radio One coverage to Tahsis. 4. The licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to simulcast the programming of CBCV-FM on the new FM transmitter and on CBXP for a transition period of three months following the commencement of operations of the FM transmitter. Pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), and consistent with the licensee’s request, the Commission revokes the licence for CBXP 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
[IRCA] Excellent TP Morning on Orcas Island
Got up early this morning (1300 with LSR at about 1530) and decided to check in with our late season phenomenon of having good Japanese reception in the 1200 and 1300 range. Well, it turned out to be Japanese (which died down some by 1500) and Chinese (which came up even more late) and it was pretty darn good. Combining early and late, I had audio of some sort, from somewhere on about 90% of the lower band and about half of the uppere band. It was the bast AM that I've had in a month from here on Orcas. The most interesting EARLY stuff: 810 was the Russian, big time at 1305... sometimes with KGO beneath, sometimes by itself 846 was the NHK1 synchros (fairly rare) at a fairly low level all morning. 1017, the CRI KK was walking tall early and still doing decently clear to 1530 1323 was CRI Russian // 963 around 1320 (good) and still around at a low level at 1530 1539 was CNR1 early at a fairly low level and built slowly all morning. After 1500 is was a solid 8. This is a new log for me (I think) 1593 was CNR1 early at a very listenable level early and slowly declined throughout the morning. The most interesting LATE stuff: 594: I had the semi-Chinese, clearly with echo again this AM around 1520. The only thing in PAL that makes sense is two transmitters on Taiwan. NHK was there in the background. 1341: I had CNR1 WITH AND ECHO at about 1515. There is no question about who it was or the fact of the echo. PAL lists a CNR1 near Canton, but it is supposed to change to CRI EE, Tagalog, etc until 1500 and then be silent. There were TWO CNR1s at 1515, no question. 1548: I had audio after a fashion from 1520 to 1525 and it might have been Hindi. I've been watching for DW-Sri Lanka here, but doubt that anything that far away will ever punch through nearby 1550. 1575: I enjoyed Farda and VOA again this morning from about 1456 to 1504 just for the heck of it. Neither made much of a deal of TOH, but each had a single pip at what they believed to be the TOH (about .75 seconds apart.) There has been no repeat of that EE program on VOA at 1500. It must have been a special half hour because of Pres. Obama being in the Far East. In any case, I did stop to think what a rare privilege it is for any of us to sit there and listen to medium wave signals coming from so far afield as Thailand and UAE and mixing on our radios. Someone made the comment on here that once you hear Farda, you'd always recognize them. I did not understand that, though I'm beginning to suspect that was a West Coast person who only heard traditional Persian music. When I was listening to Farda from Easter Island, they were playing a mixture of old Michael Jackson records and new Farsi rap songs I swear! Neither many of us nor the imams would recognize that. Well, it was a really great late season morning here on Orcas Island and now, I have to go out and chain saw the MAJOR limbs that have been knocked down in the last two storms. (The antennas are still up, though, so my priorities are intact.)

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-20... Rejuvenated
Hello All, The TP conditions seemed mediocre for most of the week, but because of the very interesting reports from Nigel and Nick yesterday, I thought I would tune in to see if the great signals would show up south of the border. Sure enough, this morning was the best for TP propagation all week, and even included what will probably be my last new TP during this 2009 season. First checking the band around 1430, I found 1134-CNR1 all alone on 1134 khz, very strong just like Nigel had reported. This linked MP3 was from a little later, but CNR1 had this signal for most of the morning. _http://www.mediafire.com/?5gtmm3ky1qz_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?5gtmm3ky1qz) The second big surprise was checking 594 khz, and hearing the KBS1 Korean music station tearing up JOAK pretty badly, like in this MP3 where it slowly takes over the frequency: _http://www.mediafire.com/?jzmmmjryjzt_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?jzmmmjryjzt) Finally, just after 1500, the long-sought 1503 kHz NHK1 station JOUK came up to weak audio, but strong enough to check the 594 kHz // (which was still trying to claim the frequency over the pesky Korean). This was my first new TP on the 7.5 foot nasty weather PVC loop (operating in the rainy back yard this morning), and Ultralight TP #116 overall. So it was really a great morning, and I should thank both Nigel and Nick for the great DX tips from yesterday. Without motivation from them, I probably would have written off this late-November band as hopeless. 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 filter) 7.5' and 6' (side) Nasty Weather PVC tuned passive loops (in the wet 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
[IRCA] TPs from Victoria BC on November 20
Bit of a mistake this morning, as didn't start listening until after 1500, and things were pretty lively then; hopefully this was the peak, as it hadn't been really exciting at 1300. 0630 to 0700UT the evening before had been pretty good however w/the NHK2 Kitami transmitter (presumably) on 702 noted //774, and the Hokkaido NHK1 station on 1188 noted //594; likely Russians on 765, 666, 234 and 279 etc. plus carriers on 738, 846 and 1017 which looped towards the Pacific islands. Most interesting was 3 signals on 675, one presumably Vietnam, one turned out to be NHK-1 (new; there are two listed), plus ??? It's still not entirely dead after 1700UT, with CNR-1 on 945 identifiable by //5030, as well as what sounds like another CC (even though PAL lists Heilongjiang s/off at 1500UT, there seems to be a Heilongjiang 945 webstream still going strong, and they sounded similar to what I was hearing). 972 and 1287 still have some audio from time to time also (actually 1287 had fairly readable audio at 1726UT), and 1566 would have good audio if they actually had any modulation left. Could hear 1566's carrier cut at 1729:45 for the change in antenna direction; even stronger carrier afterward, but any audio would be imaginarysomewhat less imaginary talk at 1736. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 279 R. Rossii at 1526 594 JOAK; someone under had an echo on it. 639 CNR-1 //5030 at 1521 747 JOIB later; 1520UT 774 JOUB 828 JOBB 936 assumed Anhui initially, but actually two stations; the louder at 1530 had classical sounding piano, which I haven't heard as part of Anhui's programming 1575 VoA at 1518UT reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 531 JOQG //594 at 1525 585 JOPG //594 at 1523 918 CC with echoey CC talk, and mx underneath from someone else not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 153 R. Rossii 558 HLQH //603 plus one other 567 JOIK //594; not up to its usual strength 675 three stations trading places, one NHK1 873 JOGB //828 945 CNR-1 delay of 1 sec from 5030 972 two stations here, one seemed CC, the other had KK talk so HLCA 1134 CNR-1 delayed by 1 sec from 5030 1251 mx at 1538, VoR; gone before a parallel found 1287 JOHR at 1540; had been better at 0700UT the evening before (and nearly as good at 1726) 1503 JOUK //594 at 1543UT Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 711 big carrier, possibly HLKA 846 seemed //594 so NHK-1 855 981 //5030 at 1532, so CNR-1 1269, no //1287 at the time though Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1539 (didn't seem to be UAE; no Farda on 1575 either) , 1566 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

[IRCA] IRCA 67-98#8 KTRP 1130
In which city and state is KTRP 1130? In Oregon there is the close proximity of 1120 in Eugene and 1110 in Bend so its probably not a big deal if two stations are almost next door in location and frequency since they are probably not interested in covering more than their own market even if their power output allows them to cover other cities during daytime.Bill in BC __ Looking for the perfect gift?

[IRCA] TAs, TPs, LAs to OK
** CROATIA [and non]. Bandscanning on the way home from an Enid Public Schools 6-band concert and fiesta dinner (i.e. taco salad), UT Nov 20 at 0115, I was hearing tell-tale hets on the caradio 10-kHz-only tuning, indicating Trans-Atlantix were in on 1215, 1134 and 756 kHz, so ahome I quickly switched to the direxional DX-398, set-to-9-kHz-on-MW, and on battery power to minimize line noise. 1134 immediately provided musical and talk audio at 0120 and // 7375 via Germany, so Hrvatski Radio, the number-one TA, is a definite. Monitoring on a single receiver, I could not evaluate the delay. Also // at some further chex, 0139, 0150. However it faded in between, leaving nothing but IBOC noise, presumably from KMOX 1120, tnx a lot! Between 0120 and 0200 I repeatedly scanned the MW band and detected many more TA carriers, but no audio. I could make educated guesses about the most likely sources, but will refrain. I will put them in frequency order here, not the order heard, most more than once: 549, 621, 639, 693, 711, 819, 855, 882, 891, 909, 972, 999, 1089, 1179, 1215, 1251, 1269, 1341, 1359, 1431, 1521 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also JAPAN [and non] ** JAPAN [and non]. After detecting all the TA carriers the previous evening --- see CROATIA [and non], I was motivated to look for Trans-Pacific MW the morning of Nov 20. Again with the DX-398 set on 9-kHz spacing, and on battery power inside the house with some noise but in the quietest spot I could find, too cold outside, I stepped thru all the channels with BFO on, and could hear the same pitch het on most of the appropriate frequencies, except as noted, but too weak for any audio, except as noted. (The LSB/SSB is slightly offset on this receiver, which is convenient for this purpose, altho I could zero it by taking off the faceplate and adjusting a pot.) It helped to switch between LSB and USB to minimize QRM from the NAm 10-kHz-spaced stations. In two or three scans between 1230 and 1245 UT, all these carriers were looping NW/SE more or less, using internal ferrite antenna only, just as the TA ones had been NE/SW: 558, 567, 576, 594, 603, 648, 666, 693, 702, 711, 729, 738, 747, 756, 774, 828, 846, 855, 873, 882, 891, 945, 972, 981, 1008, 1044, 1053, 1134, 1143, 1179, 1242, 1251, 1323, 1475, 1593. The strongest ones were on 774 and 972, so I went back and listened to those for a while to see if I could pull any audio. Now I have plugged in the AC adapter, since the batteries are getting weak. 747, at 1252, yes! Bits of clearly enunciated English by YL, apparently language lesson, mixed with Japanese, and music riffs, cues to speak in the lessons. 972, at 1254, some audio, think it was Korean as expected but not positive. 1098, circa 1300 add another frequency with a carrier. 855, at 1308, stepping thru the scan with BFO on, this one was a different pitch, obviously off-frequency, not sure which side. 774, at 1310, definitely in Japanese. The big 500 kW NHK Radio 2 stations on 747 and 774 were expected to be the easiest catches here in deep NAm, as they have been before. This is the educational network which includes some foreign languages, altho WRTH 2009 does not mention LL: English. 747 is JOIB Sapporo, Hokkaido and 774 is JOUB Akita, on the far side of northern Honshu. 855, the off-frequency one is surely KOREA NORTH, as in http://www.myradiobase.de/mediumwave/mwoffset.txt ``855.055 KRE KCBS Pyongyang Pangsong (Sangwon) 2100-2030 [855.0454-] 20090110``. WRTH 2009 lists this as 500 kW in the Asia/Pacific list; not in the domestic sexion page 253-254, but in the international sexion page 446, as apparently for S Korea and // SW 3250, 3320, 4405, 6250, 6285, 6400, 9325 and several MW frequencies. 972 is surely the 1500 kW KBS station HLCA in Dangjin, KOREA SOUTH. 1475 (definitely not on-channel 1476) is surely the 700 kW RTM Labuan, in Tuaran, Sabah, MALAYSIA which per WRTH is only on air at 1100-1330. Could make educated guesses about many of the others, but I`ll stop there. Local sunrise was 1314 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. As I was MW-bandscanning for TA carriers, I was distracted by some Mexicans on even frequencies which further east are dominated by Cubans. 710, Nov 20 at 0143, atop the het from 711, quite an adstring, phone numbers, typical Mexican addresses --- street names such as Reforma, Cuauhtémoc, Obregón appear in every Mexican town so are of no use at all in local IDing below the country-level. Never could get anything more definite. 0145 to live announcer who talked for a few minutes. I thought I heard an ID go by just as I tuned in, last letter of callsign being -M (or maybe -N), but that doesn`t fit. Direxion roughly SW from OK, which points to one station each listed by Callarman in Chihua2, Sonora, Sinaloa. XEDP Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua is closest, and I was also getting that state on 1180, but 710 is supposed

[IRCA] TP DX this morning
I decided to check the dial this morning before leaving for work at 1435. The upper end seemed pretty dead with only modest carriers on 1566 and 1575. Things got better as I tuned downward and seemed to be best at the very bottom of the dial, so I hit the SDR's record button and headed out the door. The results were decent enough: 531 carrier, maybe threshold audio 540 weak CNR pips under CBK at 1500 549 Mayak 558 Two stations at 1450 - sedate man dominating with peppy sounding woman in background, the former probably Korea, the latter probably Japan 567 Japan sometimes poking through KVI splatter 576 unid, probably Mayak, poking through KVI splat 585 bits of Japan //594 594 Japan good w/unid CC in background 603 Chinese station dominant, brief bits of KK talk in background 612 JOLK better than normal //594, still there w/pips 1600 after 594 had faded out 620 KGTL mostly dominant o/KPOJ 621 man woman in Chinese 639 CNR good until KCIS power boost 640 KYUK mixing w/KGVW 648 VoR fair 650 KENI mixing w/.CISL at 1500 657 N Korea good carrier, modest audio 666 JOBK better than normal 670 KDLG good o/KBOI 1500 w/ID NPR news 675 Japan Vietnam as noted by Nick 693 JOAB good 711 Het on KIRO but no hope of audio That's as far as I could go..

Re: [IRCA] TPs from Victoria BC on November 20
Hi Nick, Great job on the new NHK1 logging on 675 kHz. Usually when there is a 675 kHz mix here it turns out to be Vietnam and Hohhot, but I haven't heard them together since the peak October days. Of course, after sunrise the TP's here in inland Puyallup fade out much more quickly than in salt water-enhanced Victoria. Like you, I have also heard the UnID Chinese on 972 kHz mixing it up with HLCA recently. The 972 Chinese seems to have a talk-oriented format, unlike the 828 kHz music-oriented Chinese station which has been giving JOBB such competition this month. On 594 kHz, I had no trace of the echo (or Chinese) that you and John had under JOAK, although I did have the Korean mixing very strongly until around 1500. Usually the TP propagation here will not last very long after that-- recently around 1510 the TP's are leaving for good. Thanks again for your detailed and positive TP report from yesterday, which along with Nigel's equally glowing summary helped convince me that the late-season band still had bright spots. 73, Gary In a message dated 11/20/2009 10:11:30 A.M.

The Chinese path from Walt's/Colin's/my places run up the spine of Vancouver Island for a couple of hundred kilometers before hitting salt water.

My wife thought this guy was very neat and tidy and would happily support me if I had this many radios...

Re: [IRCA] IRCA 67-98#8 KTRP 1130
The FCC rules have changed a lot in the last 30-40 years. The QM has increased a lot. But the FCC does not really protect the stations coverage areas like they used to. KFI 640 had no QRM as they owned the West. But stations for the most part do not care about out of market listeners like they once did. Back 30-40 years ago, no way would there have been a station on 1130 khz running 25 KW days with CKWX 1130 KPNW-1120. It would not have been OKed. 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] IRCA 67-98#8 KTRP 1130
Youre right, most stations dont care aobut out of market listeners and they have no reason to.. it doesnt help them make any money. The only reason there is a station on 1130 running 25KW days between CKWand KPNW, again, is because of the complex modeling we have today. It is so complex, they never could've imagined it abck then. You wouldnt believe what we can do now with directional patterns. -- Sincerely, Paul B.
