Re: [IRCA] KWDB 1110
KBND is directional directly at the OR Coast at night, with nothing much going East. If you draw a circle, with the back edge going through Bend aimed West, you will pretty much have their night pattern. BC is not in a direct null, but there is much more sgnal directed West, much more at me. The center is probably aimed closer to Newport or Lincoln City, but there is still a lot of signal to the WNW. 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] [ultralightdx] PL-360
Hi Nick, Thanks for the notice. A new PL-360 has been ordered (by EMS shipment), and will presumably be one of the new ULR's covered in the upcoming 2010 Shootout. It seems doubtful that this model can compete with the PL-380's or PL-310's, but sometimes a full review of a new model is useful in convincing all of us to be thankful for what we already possess :-) 73, Gary In a message dated 2/2/2010 11:15:24 P.M.

Re: [IRCA] IRCA 70 -10-4-KWDB. 1110
Bruce, It is the opposite here, KBND at 150 air miles, is the dominant one, unless I am using the NE/NW EWEs. KBND is not generally super strong, but much stronger than KWBD. But KWBD is 200+ miles too, and only 500w, compared to KBND's 10 KW. I like KWBD better, format-wise.

Re: [IRCA] IRCA 70 -10-4-KWDB. 1110
This afternoon, I decided to check 1110 on the car radio at 2 pm. KBND was doing quite well on day skip, strong enough to have the radio's scan function stop there. There was a weak music station in the background, which I assume was KWDB. For the record, I was 40 miles from KWDB and 300 miles from KBND. This was definitely not normal - I can't recall ever hearing KBND during the day, and KWDB, while not all that strong, is usually at a listenable level.

Re: [IRCA] MORE BAD NEWS FOR FM DXERS
Barry, I know the NW has probably the least amount of AM IBOC, than anywhere in the 48 states. Hawaii has none on AM there, and there are a few in Alaska. But as KAZ warned me when AM IBOC started in at night, that I would get the IBOC 50 KW clear channels from the Midwest, and yes I sure do! I cannot imagine the amount of AM IBOC in the Midwest & East. By your list, it must be pretty bad.

Night after night, I get blasted with IBOC crud from high power stations on 660, 670, 700, 710, 780, 810, 830, 840, 880, 1000, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1060, 1080, 1100, 1120, 1170, 1180, 1190, 1210, and 1560, not to mention many strong IBOC signals from 5 kW stations on the regional channels, plus a couple of nasty ones on ex-band (1640 and 1690). Since each of those stations ruin two channels (sometimes ganging up from both sides), if you add it all up, it's a huge mess. It's almost enough to drive me back to the ham bands... :-( Barry -- Barry McLarnon VE3JF Ottawa, ON ___ 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] Kansas City pipeline minus KXTR; harmonics; Disney, et al.
All times and dates strictly UT ** COLOMBIA [and non]. Tnx to Jim Evans tip from Tennessee on WORLD OF RADIO 1497, I made a point of looking for the harmonic on 2980, which he heard at 0647 Jan 26. Yes, Jan 29 at 0611 definitely something on 2980.0, very weak music vs QRN level now including lite T-storming close enough to propagate but not nearby. Still just barely audible at 0630, never heard anything but music. He had an ID at 0650 for R. Vida Nueva. Will keep trying. WRTH 2010 says it`s HJAY, Barranquilla with 5 kW on 1490, slogan ``te acerca a Dios``, so the music should be nothing but religious. It had also been reported months ago, but not lately. I`m sure that the other active MW harmonic, R. San Carlos, Costa Rica, 2859.8 would be much stronger if they would only stay on the air past 0200v. The harmonic on 2980 making it all the way from Colombia speaks well for the technical standards of the hundreds of US stations on 1490. Decades ago, one could depend on there being a few harmonics audible at any given time on 2 x graveyard frequencies, 2460, 2480, 2680, 2800, 2900, 2980, and the probabilities are still highest on those channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: 4050 ** U S A. Having heard the harmonic on 2980 from Colombia, q.v., I was motivated to look again for the third harmonic of KWMO, 1350, ``The Mouth``, Washington MO on 4050, Jan 29 at 0616: yes, intermittent bits of US talk in English, but mostly ute QRM. Since there was any signal at all from presumed KWMO, probably another instance of running day facilities at night. Still no Truth from Guatemala on 4052.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 4050, looking again for the KWMO third harmonic from Washington, MO, Jan 30 at 0606 UT, traces of country music, a bit better at 0614 with YL DJ talking about who would sing the NA at the Superbowl. Just barely audible tho S-meter displayed S9; trouble is, the noise level on a clear frequency was S8. 0621 more country music peaking. This matches the format when I heard them some weeks ago with a definite ID, but none this time. As for ``The Mouth`` slogan I mentioned yesterday, that has not been heard but listed in the NRC AM Log 2009-2010, when they had a talk format, probably outdated now. Day power is 500 watts, night power 84 watts on fundamental 1350. Compared to inbooming AM hams on 80 meters as far away as New England, who could not be running more than 1000 watts, I could now believe the extremely weak KWMO signal on 4050 is really just a fraxion of the night power, not necessarily the day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Driving around Enid Jan 28 near low noon, which is always 1832 UT, still some X-band daytime skywave DX tho the sun is zenithing higher every day as spring oncomes. (Snow did not start until 2100 Jan 28; plenty snow into midday Jan 29 but no significant icing or power outages here unlike further south in OK.) Tuning around the X-band in the daytime is always interesting as propagation conditions vary widely. A music station weakly on 1690 around 1815 UT, audible when propagation peaks matched increasingly rare low-noise spots in the city. And again at 1912 when a Radio Disney ID made it. Therefore it can only be KDDZ in Arvada CO as the only dizzy outlet on frequency, and the only other station normally heard here on 1690 is talker WVON in the Chicago area. Denver`s other X-bander, Spanish KBJD 1650, might have accompanied KDDZ if it were not for splash from our local KFXY-1640. No other significant skywave signals on X-band during this hour, not even KXTR-1660 Kansas City KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1660, not a sign of classical KXTR Kansas City, Feb 1. Home page http://www.kxtr.com/pages/1447847.php? which is what you get if you merely enter www.kxtr.com, does not have any announcement about antenna work, as it did for some weeks in December, January, that it would be off the air weekdays, but it must be missing this afternoon, as I am mobile around Enid with nondirexional caradio. At 2018 UT, 1660 exhibits only a very weak SAH between two other stations, no doubt ND and TX, and furthermore, KC-area stations on 1250-Spanish, 1090-Catholic were inbooming by skywave already. 2027 the same. At final check of 1660 at 2153 UT, heard an ESPN station with an ad for Morehead, i.e. KQWB West Fargo ND. Furthermore, at 2025 UT I was hearing a ``Radio Disney`` as IDed in passing atop 1190 before fading, ending some teeny-bopper music, kid on phone in quiz. The only R. Disney on 1190, per NRC AM Log 2009-2010, is KPHN Kansas City MO, day power 5 kW, but a new one to me. That`s strange, as it`s non-direxional, and has been on the air more than 31 years, tho under different calls before March 3, 1997. At 2019 I was gettin` a surfin` song on 1010. Uplooked later, among adjacent-state stations, format matches KCHI Chillicothe MO, y

Re: [IRCA] MORE BAD NEWS FOR FM DXERS
When I was commuting north from San Jose in the pre-dawn hours, KEX IBOC was obliterating a Hindi station on 1200 in Soquel CA. The station's primary audience was in San Jose, so their nighttime audience was zilch due to KEX. During daytime hours, there was no problem. The Soquel station should not have been planning on serving a San Jose audience from their location (their primary area is Monterey Bay Area as far as FCC is concerned), but the signal got to San Jose easily in the daytime so that's where they sold their advertising.

Re: [IRCA] MORE BAD NEWS FOR FM DXERS
"Legalized jamming" is a term used by many DX'ers and listeners in general. There *may* be something to it. Even though I live fairly close to some FM IBOC'ers with moderate power, I usually couldn't hear anything on the FM first adjacents, anyway (due to the proximity of the analog) unless tropo or Es was strong. Where I used to live was about 15 miles further from the transmitters. I could DX the adjacents with simple antennas but maybe not now. An outside antenna on a rotator would help and maybe a phaser box, too. A plus side of the sour economy is that many FM IBOC'ers have turned their IBOC off, to save on electricity charges. Where I live now stray RF overload from all of the transmitters is worse than the IBOC. :) 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 10 Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 00:02:13 -0800 From: mwd...@webtv.net (Patrick Martin) To: irca@hard-core-dx.com (Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America) Subject: Re: [IRCA] MORE BAD NEWS FOR FM DXERS Message-ID: <6417-4b67dc05-...@storefull-3252.bay.webtv.net> Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII >>It obliterates the adjacents, as if the purpose isn't to improve a signal so much as it is to force you to listen to your locals.<< I think this is a plus that stations running IBOC found out, fill the dial with wall to wall local noise, then few if any out of town stations can be heard in the DMA.

Re: [IRCA] MORE BAD NEWS FOR FM DXERS
T-80 for $10 at a Thrift Shop? I am "majorlly" jealous! :) That is a nice one for FM DX'ing! I troll some of the local Goodwill's and the only Tuner's that I have ever seen are very low end (although some brand names -just not DX material). You know you have a low end one, as there aren't as many controls (such as FM mute and bandwidth type controls) :) Although the bandwidth is selectable on yours, many w/ T-80's and T-85's replace their filters (150 KHz ones IIRC) with 110 KHz Muratra's. You may also want to check thrift stores for HD radios, such as the Sony or Accurian. I found an Accurian HD radio, less remote for $6. I think that someone couldn't figure it out or didn't know what it was and donated it. I picked up a Texas station, via Sporadic E (aka Es) and it was in HD, on simple rabbit ears in 2008 and a few Floridians and New England / Maritime stations last FM DX Es season.

In listening to local IBOCers, doing an A/B with the wide/narrow filtering, the hash is quite noticeable, especially on the local classical station that isn't blasting all of the time. Fortunately, the narrow bandwidth pretty much gets rid of it, and the audio isn't impacted much at all. I can't imagine what those who listen to the classical station, and don't have a selectable bandwidth tuner or an HD tuner, must think.

Re: [IRCA] Tone on 1040 / wandering 1040 het
The only DX'er that I know of from the Cleveland area (and don't know him personally) is Michael Procup. Does anyone know him or have his email address to ask if he has any input on if WJRB is the offender? Not that we can do anything about WJRB... :) 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 4 Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 00:56:43 -0500 (EST) From: amd...@core.com To: irca@hard-core-dx.com, dx...@nrcdxas.org Subject: Re: [IRCA] Tone on 1040 Message-ID: <1804.99.189.208.201.1265090203.squir...@newmail.core.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Just minutes ago did some quick nulling with YB400 outside and this tone can be nulled roughly E/W from here.

Re: [IRCA] unID 1710
This station on 1710 has been heard over here a few times recently with "Radio Soleil International" id. Paul Troon, Scotland Nigel Pimblett wrote: Hi Patrick, Yes, I'm not surprised such a station wouldn't want to admit they're being heard across North America! Saul kindly confirmed the "La Voix Haitienne" slogan that I was hearing, so it's a new catch anyhow. 73, Nigel Patrick Martin wrote: Nigel, I heard one a couple years back on 1710. I even contacted the station via e mail, and they said to send the CD.

Re: [IRCA] KWDB 1110
Bill, Even with doubling their power from 500W to 1 KW the difference in their range and what you'd notice wouldnt be all that great at all. They'd have to triple-quadroople their power before you'd notice a HUGE change. I can't say why they haven't gone to 1KW, but I can imagine they are limited by CKWX 1130 and KPTK 1090... if they would have to put up an additional tower, it probably isn't worth it as Return on investment would be very low Paul Walker www.onairdj.com www.facebook.com/onairdj On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 12:06 AM, bill kral wrote: > KWDB had a fairly good signal here in Victoria but it sounds like they are > heavily under -modulating lately and one day it was barely audible.

Re: [IRCA] Unid:1550 black gospel
Could it be WIGN Bristol, TN? THey are 35KW Day and 5W night, and I know they've been known to leave it up at full tilt in the past. They used to be gospel, but have now gone talk. They list "Special Programming" from 8pm to 7am, but don't say what that is. Less likely, but still possible is WPFC Raleigh, NC with 1KW Day and 7 W at night. Here's WPFC's website, and they do stream: http://www.wpfc1550am.com/ Paul Walker www.onairdj.com www.facebook.com/onairdj On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 2:15 AM, wrote: > Hi.

Re: [IRCA] MORE BAD NEWS FOR FM DXERS
>>It obliterates the adjacents, as if the purpose isn't to improve a signal so much as it is to force you to listen to your locals.<< I think this is a plus that stations running IBOC found out, fill the dial with wall to wall local noise, then few if any out of town stations can be heard in the DMA. This may even was a reason to push AM IBOC too. Here, there is no FM or AM IBOC, but Portand & Seattle has it. fortunately, I cannot hear any hash on FM at this distance (75-150 miles). 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
