The usual big carrier on 1566, quite a good one on 972; 747, 774 and 828 delivered mumbles in parallel, and that seemed to be about it, from 1500UT onwards. 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

This entry mentions that CINF( Prevoiously CBF) started out as the oldest AM BCer in the world as XWA in Montreal. I don't know the complete history of radio going back to the early '20s but as far as I can remember XWA ( on long wave first) was not located on 690 unless they started out there and later switched to 600 and became CFCF.In other words,did XWA go from LW to MW on 690 and later to 600?

Moved to 850 later then 690 in 1999, changing calles to CINF at that time XWA started in 1919 on 250 kHz longwave, then changed calls to 9xx (have yet to find the reference to the actual call) in 1920 I think. Became CFCF in 1922 when they moved to 440 meters (683 kHz). Moved to 1030 later then 600 in the early 1930's where they stayed until they moved to 940 in 1999 changing calls to CINW.

FCC APPROVES HD POWER INCREASE FOR FM The http://www.allaccess.com/search?q=fccm=n FCC Media Bureau has adopted rules to allow FM stations to increase their digital http://www.allaccess.com/search?q=ibocm=n IBOC signals' power up to 10% of their analog power. The rule change permits the power increase on a voluntary basis, giving stations the ability to increase digital power by 6 dB. Stations already grandfathered as super-powered facilities in excess of current class maximums will be limited to protect against interference. The new rules also establish application procedures for digital power increases up to 10 dB, and create remediation procedures to settle interference disputes within 90 days, and leave the issue of digital power levels open for revisitation if the new signals interfere with analog reception. The new rules will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. ___ 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] 1040 wandering het: who is it?
Re: Message: 7 Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:08:46 -0500 From: Fred Schroyer fredi...@windstream.net Subject: [IRCA] 1040 wandering het: who is it? Driving home a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a strange het on 1040. Its pitch rose fell very slowly (spanning a couple of musical notes over a minute), through roughly an octave either side of middle C (in other words, maybe a hundred Hz up to several hundred), with no apparent pattern, just a gradual rising and falling. Kinda like a very, very slow moaning. The aimless frequency drift reminds me of an old tube oscillator with poor voltage regulation and no temperature compensation! Listening over the past 2 weeks, I hear it all the time, weak during daytime and very strong during critical hours and at night. This might reflect that it has only a weak station to beat against during the day -- WZSK @ 100 miles distance -- versus strong stations to beat against during CH at night -- WHO, WYSL (250 mis away) and WPBS (500 mis away). I hear it equally well from my home in Waynesburg, PA (40 mis S of Pittsburgh) to my dayjob in Morgantown, WV. At both locations, it direction-finds to roughly SE-NW. My Sony 7600 valiantly tried to sync the signal when I set it to 1041 kHz, which tells me that the station's frequency is always above 1040. My guess is an unhappy TIS, not too far away. I can't find a trusty TIS directory online -- anyone know of one? Is anyone else hearing this, esp DXers in PA, OH, MD, WV? Any ideas who/where it might be? Thanks.

Sounds like a Cuban wobbler, but not to PA in the daytime.

[IRCA] DX Tip for WDXR
1220 WP?? UNID station here with ID at 0059.55 EST 1/31. After another Unid station said We're Number One!, a weak signal with a woman announcer said WP??News. and ??? Then lost in the jumble. I listened back to the cassette with EQ and 4 different sets of headphones. Whatever it was, it was a goodie! But knowing the beverage and the way signals pop in and out, it is doubtfull I will hear it again. Often, I hear these flea power distant stations once and on occasion one will pop in strong enough at TOH ID to catch it. 1220 is a jumble of a dozen or more of signals most nights.
