Re: [IRCA] 830 kHz, I was wrong again!
WCRN website only mentioned God Talk for religion didn't say when. They don't seem to list what they carry overnight? Most of their schedule seems conservative talk and what some might call infomercials or paid programming. I went to Roy Masters' website www.fhu.com and it lists Advice Line 4-5 am Tu-F 2-4 am *Saturday* on WCRN. My reception was about 2-4 am EDT *Sunday* but many consider a day as not over until they go to bed, so maybe a safe assumption it was them? Advice Line has been on the radio 52 years is currently on about 175 stations. This was the only one I saw for 830. Thanks for all replies. 73, George S., MN --- On Wed, 9/15/10, Paul B.

They WTRU have same 1st 3rd call letters, C T are sound-alike with less than perfect reception. I thought the calls sounded like WTRX. Maybe my attention deficit. So I was unaware that one station was fading out quickly quickly replaced by the other. When I heard Talk Radio slogan at bottom of hour, I thought WTRU? probably said Christian (unreadable) Talk Radio as their website shows that slogan. Definitely many calls with religious subject, and what I think of as southern accents. Carolina was mentioned 2 or 3 times, including Carolina Mobile, which is listed as a sponsor on the WTRU website. Also when WTRU showed Truth Radio Network on their website, I thought that might be what they said, but thought Truth sounded like 2 syllables. Does the CRN in WCRN stand for Christian Radio Network? (Christian is 2 syllables). Or did I miss a syllable maybe they said CBS Radio Network? Or maybe they said True Talk Radio Network? WCRN is listed as CBS True Talk on Barry's site. When I tried a search engine for CBS True Talk, nothing came up? Roy Masters seemed like a mix of religion politics, except some of that talk may have been WTRU, listed as carrying Micheal Medved. I would like to thank Ken Baird for telling me WCRN does carry Roy Masters. Also, I heard a CBS News sounder weakly about 15 seconds before I heard it stronger on WCCO. 73, George S., MN ___ 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 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 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

Program different from 860 leading up to 0200, but the news sounded different, too. Some have reported hearing the news in parallel even though programs are not. New.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-16
Hello All, The TP propagation doldrums continued for a second day here, and it was a scramble to find decent Asiatic audio. An indication of the poor conditions was the failure of 1566-HLAZ to produce audio here, for the first time in all of September. The morning wasn't a total waste, though-- there were a couple of bizarre TP fade-ins that were completely out of character with the poor propagation, providing a reminder once again that strange things can happen at any time in this hobby. 594-JOAK was the first to produce audio at 1325, but it was poor at best. 828-JOBB was the same way at 1327, refusing to stick around. Then suddenly 648-VOR (of all stations) faded in at a fair level with Russian music at 1329 during the Chinese program, stuck around for a minute, then dropped out completely. Shortly after that the 1053-Korean Jammer did the same thing at 1335, producing a fairly strong buzzing signal, as if to make a point. Various other TP's on 657, 738, 747, 972 and 1134 produced threshold audio, but nothing like these two overachievers. All things considered, despite the lackluster propagation, it was a strangely interesting morning. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the rainy back yard): 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Poor audio at 1325, but practically ghostlike 648 VORRazdolnoye, Russia Very strange fade-in with music during Chinese external program at 1329; unusual strength for the poor propagation _http://www.mediafire.com/?4qrf4egkqx61qaw_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?4qrf4egkqx61qaw) 738 BEL2 Penghu, Taiwan Threshold audio in and out throughout morning 747 JOIB Sapporo, Japan Another NHK big gun reduced to weak audio 828 JOBB Osaka, Japan Threshold audio around 1338 972 HLCA Dangjin, S. Korea Very weak Korean speech at 1341 1053 Korean Jammer Once again producing fair buzzing during fairly poor propagation _http://www.mediafire.com/?45scruhjsms73h0_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?45scruhjsms73h0) 1134 TP-Mix Very weak mix above the noise level at 1343, apparently JOQR-KBS 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock 657 Pyongyang, N.

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle 9-16
My experiences were similar to everyone else's this morning, but I thought conditions were slightly better than yesterday. HLAZ-1566 and JOUB-774 had decent signal strengths for brief periods. They might have had readable audio were it not for electrical noise on HLAZ and KTTH-770 splatter on JOUB. 594 693 747 828 972 and 1134 tried to cough up unimpressively tiny chunks of audio but there was barely enough to tell whether it was voice or music Carriers and/or hets were noted on 639 648 729 738 756 891 909 981 1008 1071 1179 1422 1475 and 1521 but most of them were quite weak.

Did anybody catch any XE's broadcasting special programming last night? I totally forgot that last night was the eve of Mexico's Bicentennial Celebration and that Presidente Calderon would be leading the El Grito and ringing the Hidalgo Bell from the Metropolitan Cathedral in the Zocalo Region of Mexico City. Bummer! I had planned to listen around 0500 GMT (2300 Local) to any of the major Mexico City outlets to see what I heard. Did anybody catch anything of significance last night? 73 and Great DX'ing!

Just before sunrise (11:52 GMT) some audio on 774 765 and 1116 but not even strong enough to tell what language atho based on time and direction of antenna I'm pretty sure they were DU.

[IRCA] WATH 970 on Day Power
Hi All: WATH, 970, Athens is running day power because of the weather emergency. Several buildings trailers in and around Athens were destroyed by apparent tornadoes. Station owner Dave Palmer is hosting/running the board. Format right now is announcements interspersed with oldies. I doubt they get very far with all the competition. They also seem to have much better groundwave than skywave propagation. Still, some of you might be able to pull them out. Given the number of emergency vehicles coming in to bring support to the locals from other counties, the emergency could last for awhile. The storms are all east of us now. The hardest hit area appears to be The Plains, a village across the ridge from Athens. 73 David ___ 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
