[IRCA] DU this morning?
Not much in the way of DU results this morning from the present geomagnetic storm. There were a few of the usual carriers scattered across the band, with 1116 the only one delivering audio traces. That one seems very well modulated, as its carrier strength wasn't really any stronger than any of the others. 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
Re: [IRCA] DU this morning?
Hey Nick: Last week near Seaside, OR, 1116 was often the strongest het as well. However, since 1120-KPNW just down the road was unnullable with its sky and ground paths, I wasn't able to extract any audio on the Tecsun PL-380 (which isn't SSB and so couldn't select only the USB...).

[IRCA] CHTK-560 Prince Rupert BC applies to CRTC to move to FM
CHTK-560 Prince Rupert BC has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (99.1 MHz, 160 watts, 578 meters): http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-551.htm#20 Application by Astral Media Radio (Toronto) Inc. and 4382072 Canada Inc., partners in a general partnership carrying on business as Astral Media Radio G.P. for a broadcasting licence to operate a new FM radio programming undertaking to replace the existing AM station, CHTK Prince Rupert. The new station would operate on frequency 99.1 MHz (channel 256A) with an effective radiated power of 160 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 578 metres). The applicant requests permission to simulcast the programming of the new FM station on CHTK for a period of three months from the date of implementation of the new FM station. The applicant also requests, pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the revocation of the licence for CHTK 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
Re: [IRCA] CHTK-560 Prince Rupert BC applies to CRTC to move to FM
Interesting news, indeed. During the day, the only stations on AM currently heard at my cottage are KTKN on 930 (the strongest), then CBC Terrace on 860, and finally 560 CHTK which is still relatively strong during the day. Otherwise, we occasionally hear Sitka on 580 and Terrace on 590, and that's about it. Should open up 558 and 567 a bit during dawn enhancements..Walt -directional antenna with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 578 metres).

Re: [IRCA] CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AM applied to CRTC to move to FM
CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AB, the 50 watt relay of CFXE-FM Edson AB, has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (93.3 MHz, 190 watts, minus 81.7 meters Bummer! At 176 miles, this is my closest unheard. Only been trying for it for 35 years and never even a hint. Never heard it when I lived in Fox Creek either, and that town was 77 miles nearer to Grand Cache than my current location. Not really surprising as a few miles either side of town it's gone from the car radio. Lets hope the FM will reach out a little further.

Re: [IRCA] CHTK-560 Prince Rupert BC applies to CRTC to move to FM
I was wondering when TK was going to ask to move. Both 560's will be now gone, as Ft. St. Johns BC moved a few years ago. The two used to mix all of the time. Glad I have have them all QSL'd. TK is still a frequent visitor here. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside Oregon Come visit us for the 2010 IRCA convention held Sept 24-26 at the Inn At Seaside. ___ 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] AU tonite, but not a deep tremendous one.
Certainly some of the standard AU catches were in tonight here in southern Alberta (like XEB owning 1220), but certainly nothing terribly exciting. Perhaps the most interesting reception was a nice ID from CA's KNRY on 1240. The auroral effect seemed stronger last night, with more Mexican signals noted.. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta neilkaz wrote: Lots of T-storm static keeping me from DXing as much as I'd like to have in tonight's moderate AU.

[IRCA] 1566 carrier 0400 ut
Been meaning to check this and other frequencies Nick has been hearing hets in the summer evenings. After an enjoyable chat and lunch with Nick at the BCDX 2010 convention in Vancouver, I vowed to check when I got home. Of course, the significant solar disturbance that has everyone talking coincided with my return.. Anyway last night's monitoring of 1566 936 783 yielded nothing. The last 2 are certainly not in the clear around here but not impossible with the narrow band waterfall display. Surprisingly at 0400 tonite 1566 had an easily discernable het, altho pretty smeared (seems less smeared now at 0430). Nothing on 936 783. 73 Don VE6JY Lamont, 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
