Re: [IRCA] KTRP 1130 sign on today?

2009-12-01 Thread Patrick Martin
KTRP seems to have a great signal even this far to the NW, at nearly 100
air miles during the day. At least on my antennas. So they must sing in
the valley and into Portland. However, their lp at night will not do
much.

They're going to need every last one of those 25,000 watts during the day. 
Their towers are extremely short for 1130; only 130 feet (53.7 degrees

Re: [IRCA] State Count

2009-12-01 Thread Patrick Martin
Here, until a few years back, I had all WA, OR, and HI stations heard &
QSL'd. A few new ones I still need QSL'd 1340-Bend, 1240-Redmond, etc. I
think my best state as far as QSLs go is CA with well over 400, but that
includes call & freq changes too. As far as the top number of QSLs from
a certain country, that goes to the US, with 1865 MW QSLs, Canada is
second 290, Australia is 3rd at 226, Japan is 4th at 113, New Zealand is
5th at 111 QSL'd.

Re: [IRCA] State Count

2009-12-01 Thread Neil Kazaross
I'll chime in here and say that trying to complete an entire state 
(obviously one nearby for most of us) will challange both your DXing skills 
and your antenna skills. You'll become more proficient with sunset skip DX 
and also likely with sunrise skip and it may also be that you take that ULR 
of your's and get it just right to null that 50 kw pest and the desired 250 
watter from the other side of your state is just copiable for 30 seconds 
during their quick sign off.


Here in Barrington IL,  Iowa has been completed for several years, and I 
just completed WI. I need just a few for IL, and 4 for MN (northern GYers) 
and just a few for IN.


High school sports can be a big help in this endevor !

Subject: [IRCA] State Count

Hi;

Over the past few months, I have noticed many DX'ers working on
completing states and mentioning their State counts.  As a casual DX'er,
I may never get to complete one state but I'll have fun trying!

Over lunch, I used Excel, which I use to keep my logs, to break down my
logs via State/Province (my overall log is exclusively US/Canadian).

Obviously I live in Indiana - and Central Indiana at that.  Guess what?
I have heard more stations from Tennessee than my own state and TN
doesn't even border Indiana!  I'm guessing that HSFB added quite a bit
to those totals.  I've lost my logs (may still have them, somewhere) but
many of the dates that I have penciled in an old NRC log, from TN, were
from Friday nights in the Fall.  Michigan is another oddity, only 23,
trailing GA, TX, AL and so on.  My domestic (US/Canadian) total stands
at 791, 37 states (+DC and USVI) and just four Provinces.  If anyone is
interested, here is my top 20:

TN 69
IN 67
IL 56
OH 51
KY 42
ON 39
GA 36
TX 30
AL 27
MO 27
AR 26

[IRCA] State Count

2009-12-01 Thread HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS
Hi;

Over the past few months, I have noticed many DX'ers working on
completing states and mentioning their State counts.  As a casual DX'er,
I may never get to complete one state but I'll have fun trying!

Over lunch, I used Excel, which I use to keep my logs, to break down my
logs via State/Province (my overall log is exclusively US/Canadian).

Obviously I live in Indiana - and Central Indiana at that.  Guess what?
I have heard more stations from Tennessee than my own state and TN
doesn't even border Indiana!  I'm guessing that HSFB added quite a bit
to those totals.  I've lost my logs (may still have them, somewhere) but
many of the dates that I have penciled in an old NRC log, from TN, were
from Friday nights in the Fall.  Michigan is another oddity, only 23,
trailing GA, TX, AL and so on.  My domestic (US/Canadian) total stands
at 791, 37 states (+DC and USVI) and just four Provinces.  If anyone is
interested, here is my top 20:

TN  69
IN  67
IL  56
OH  51
KY  42
ON  39
GA  36
TX  30
AL  27
MO  27
AR  26
NC  26
WI  25
MI  23
IA  22
LA  21
NY  19
SC  19
FL  18
MS  18

Dave Hascall

Re: [IRCA] KBXZ-1650 Flagstaff

2009-12-01 Thread HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS
Well Patrick, not *exactly* the same letter sent to the 1620 in Stayton
- that one contained lots of detail about what would possibly make the
station illegal.  The Portland agent (or operative, if you prefer :) )
mentioned that his vertical whip was complaint but noted that the
transmitter was grounded to a 40' tower and so on.  The details in the
Flagstaff report didn't mention what he saw, at all (except for the
reading).  FWIW - the Portalnd Agent seemed quite thorough and that is a
good thing.

Apparently the same letter to Stayton station. I do know while at an NAB
convention several years back, there was a guy asking at the sessions if
there were any pirate stations operating. He was making a list of them
to turn into the FCC. So even if the pirate is not causing interference,
there are those that do not want it operating.

[IRCA] TP for 1 Dec from Victoria, BC

2009-12-01 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
A quick listen at 1420UT didn't yield much of interest, and I can't say that 
conditions at 1500UT astonished either, yet with time spent listening, odd 
things popped up, not strong at all, but definitely DX.   As Dennis noted, 
CNR-1 on 1134 made another appearance, though I didn't hear it until late, but 
it was the only thing heard on that channel.   855 yielded CNR-2 with the only 
sign on N. Korea being a slight roughness on the carrier; no hum.   And 639's 
CNR-1 was generally quite strong this morning as well, often much better than 
the big gun Japanese.

pretty darn good audio, at least briefly  (all of it understandable by a native 
speaker)

594 JOAK, but not until 1512UT
639 CNR-1 from 1459UT on
774 JOUB 



reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker,
though often battling w/splash or noise):

828 JOBB 
972 HLCA , later on




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker

567 JOIK //594
603 SAH and 2 stations, one seemed HLSA per later 558 //
675 likely Vietnam from 1515 on, no SW // available
747 JOIB
783 music, Asian direction, at 1525; no idea
855 CNR-2 //7245 at 1517UT
873 JOGB //774 at 1507
1134 CNR-1 at 1528


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) :


558 a mess at 1540; seemed that something was //603, so HLQH
576
612 JOLK //594 at 1534
657 hum and seemed //2850, so N. Korea
666 a mix, one was //594 at 1531UT, so JOBK
702 seemed //774, so NHK-2 pair
756 a mess, later on
765 mx at 1521, no idea
918 CC inflected talk
945 messy, couldn't winkle out a parallel to 5030
963 a mess
1143  a couple of audios?
1269 at 1536UT; 1287 down, so no //
1287 at 1534; hardly much worse one hour later
1566 finally, at 1535UT
1575


Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):

864, 1098, 1251


Incidentally, though yesterday was pretty much a washout, listening to an 
SDR-14 recording at 1300UT yielded CRI on 603, not a big signal and it is a 
relog, but I still can't believe that this southern China, directional south, 
signal can be heard here at all, let alone during poor conditions.


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 12-1...China Charges In

2009-12-01 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
If this morning's TP conditions were any preview of the December  doldrums, 
maybe it won't be so bad after all.
 
Having very low expectations and only about 20 minutes to listen this  
morning, I chose the period of 1500-1520 UTC, setting up the large PVC loops in 
 
the back yard (mainly for nostalgic reasons). Imagine my surprise when I 
tuned  into 639-CNR1 at the top of the hour (1500), and found a monster signal 
 with time pips, and all associated fanfare:
 
 _http://www.mediafire.com/?cjjgg2y5edd_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?cjjgg2y5edd) 
 
The signal from Beijing had apparently risen up suddenly, since it was a  
modest carrier at 1450 on the modified ICF-2010. Tuning to 756-CNR1, I found  
decent audio from that Chinese station also, with a weird echo on its  
signal (never before observed).
 
738-Taiwan Fisheries had a weak Mainland Chinese (Mandarin) co-channel on  
the frequency at 1512, something that was also observed during an early 
morning  DXing session last weekend. With the excellent conditions to China 
this 
 morning, it was thought likely that the 594 kHz Chinese would be pestering 
 NHK1 JOAK-- but a check of the frequency at 1514 revealed the Japanese 
alone,  with no Chinese or Korean competition.
 
Finally at 1515 I had time to check 1134 kHz, and found a very  strong mix 
of the KBS station and CNR1, creating the pulsing sound similar to a  North 
American graveyard channel:
 
_http://www.mediafire.com/?k3ttjmmjhzj_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?k3ttjmmjhzj) 
 
A brief check of 972 kHz at 1519 had the HLCA Korean with serious  Chinese 
competition, although domestic splatter made it tough to record a  decent 
MP3 of the situation. So in summary it was a very interesting TP  morning, 
even though nothing new was logged. I hope that the rest of the NW  gang had a 
chance to listen this morning, as well as the overachieving barefoot  ULR 
TP-DXers (like Richard Allen in Oklahoma).

Re: [IRCA] KENC 1620

2009-12-01 Thread Bill Block

Arizona has many of these low power unlicened stations some are on the air and 
some of them are are now off.  I have been in Arizona now for 5 years and I 
have heard 7 low power stations while driving around Arizona.  For those of you 
that were in Flagstaff for the IRCA convention in 2008 we drove by KBXZ-1650 
The Fox Sports station.  KBXZ has been on the air now for several years and 
they even have ads.  We also had a tour of K-Jack-1680 at Northern Arizona 
University.  At this time Prescott has a low power station on 1640 that is 
heard here in Prescott Valley.

Re: [IRCA] KENC 1620

2009-12-01 Thread Kevin S
Thanks for the info, Dennis - looks like they weren't even close to being
legal.  It's a shame, though, that it phases out a popular local radio
station was created that people actually listened to.  I may have caught a
whiff of them here and there under my semi-local on 1620, but usually the
second station was the EWTN station out of California.

Re: [IRCA] KENC 1620

2009-12-01 Thread HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS
Thanks for the link Dennis and the original post, Bruce.  Interesting.
It sounds like the only thing that he did wrong, if I'm reading it
right, is that he grounded the transmitter to the tower via an
unshielded cable which must have made the entire tower a radiator(?).
Is that right?  His website does mention 100 mw of power, which in
itself is legal.  Based upon the figures in the FCC report, could those
figures really come from a 100mw transmitter?

I'm not sure if any of you are NASCAR fans but (AT LEAST TO ME) the FCC
seems to use similar tactics.  Coddle the big boys and hassle the small
time operators.  It really sounds (again to me) as if he just was in
error and not intentionally trying to be a pirate / break the law.  He
even advertised his station in his town's paper!  Yes, he would have
been better with LPFM but even then he'd probably have to pay big bucks
to get it engineered correctly.  Getting a station on the air is not a
cheap or easy proposition!

I'll have to keep an eye on this.

73,
Dave in Indy - glad that he doesn't have a 100 mw radio station, the FCC
might visit! :)
