Re: [IRCA] 'TP's for 10/25/10 Silver Point Interpretive Lookout, Oregon HW 56
Hi Dennis, Wow, that's quite a collection of Ultralight TP's with your E100 and Space Magnet Loop! I'm happy that you had so much fun chasing TP's on an Oregon cliff above the Pacific, and the cliff certainly seems to have given your ULR DXing station a huge boost in TP reception (like the cliff in Lincoln City gave me, for DU's).. It's funny that you should mention the hum on 594 kHz, which I've also been noticing since the beginning of the DX season. I thought that it was just a local noise problem around Puyallup, but apparently not. I have usually been tuning the Ultralights to 595 kHz like you, Dennis, just to escape the noise. Last November the noise was not on 594 kHz, and the Korean and Chinese co-channels of JOAK both made it through to Puyallup on several occasions. Thanks again for your excellent TP-DXing reports during the convention, Dennis, and have a safe drive back to Salmon Creek. 73, Gary In a message dated 9/25/2010 11:39:41 P.M.

[IRCA] CHSC 1220 silent period (and 860 KRTB)
That reminds me - I've heard CHSC ON St. Catharines has been shutting down Sunday mornings. It has been noted signing on artound 9 or 9:30 am Eastern, and my contact isn't sure when it's going off. Hard to tell here as Cleveland is pretty dominant, but I might have very weak Spanish there...if it isn't CHSC still on running Italian.

General Electric GL-892-R 5 KW Forced Air Cooled RF Amplifier and Class B Modulator (Weighs about 25 Pounds at least!!) Used in Commercial AM Broadcast Transmitter. The 892-R was used in a pre-WWII RCA 5DX 5kw AM transmitter. Also a pair of 891-R tubes. Probably used in other transmitters as well. I think they were the first higher power air-cooled tubes. Previous versions of the same ones were water cooled. The big glass part and the side grid connection is a very cool sight. Around 1974 WPRO-630 in Providence, RI updated their transmitters and got rid of the RCA 5-DX they had since 1939. I removed it and had it stored for a few years. Finally sold most of it and junked the rest. I do have a few parts left for it in my basement. Mostly variable capacitors and some coils.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-26
Hello All, The Asian regulars had no trouble showing up here this morning, but second-tier TP audio was rare at best. On a second day of fairly average conditions, there were a few minor TP surprises, but DXers returning from the IRCA convention probably didn't miss much. The back yard was wet and the weather was drizzly, but the TP's weren't exactly raining down. 729-JOCK and 693-JOAB both made fair appearances through local splatter, and 738-Taiwan was at a good level playing its standard Chinese pop music (after having apparently corrected its severe transmitter issues from two days ago). 756-CNR1 had a decent signal in KXL splatter, and the Asian lineup on 639, 648, 657, 666 and 675 took turns producing fair-good audio. Other than these Asian regulars and a few other TP big guns, it was a fairly average September morning, and most of the second-tier Asians never really came out of the noise. Since TP conditions really weren't much better here yesterday, Dennis' superb reception of multiple TP's at Silver Point (on the Oregon coast) with his stock E100 Ultralight and SAT is really amazing!Cliff-top DXing above an ocean beach may well be the wave of the future. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP model (7.5 loopstick), inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the wet back yard): 558 JOCR Kobe, Japan Fair Japanese music in and out of noise, 1316 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Japanese interview program at good strength, 1317 603 HLSA Namyang, S.

Some so-so moments where it seems like things will break open, then fades down. Latest was France 945. Seems to have since stabilized a bit, but on the minus side just below audio thresholds.

Re: [IRCA] KPWX 1130 kHz La Mexicana Mount Angel, OR on air
It was in very strong here at 1910 local, presumably just before power change, with La Mexicana, with CKWX only lightly phased. Now at 2000 local, not a sign of them, so the 490 watts is doing about as poorly as expected. Ah well, a new station is a new station!

Re: [IRCA] KPWX 1130 kHz La Mexicana Mount Angel, OR on air
Oh my, this may explain the Spanish mx I had for a couple minutes around 1920 PDT tonite mixing with CKWX and others. A check of the FCC site shows a very favorable pattern for skip towards the east and north east with 25 kw days. CX were decent as I noted News 1130 in passing as early as 1910 PDT. What time do Portland area stations switch to night pattern in Sept, is it 1915 or 1930? Anyhow I know where I'll be looking tomorrow night. I had no idea that this station was 25 kw days and was completely stumped by the SS on 1130 until I saw email notice of KPWX. 73 KAZ Barrington IL Phased BOG System at 273 degrees. -Original Message- From: Bruce Portzer bport...@comcast.net Sent: Sep 26, 2010 7:37 PM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] KPWX 1130 kHz La Mexicana Mount Angel, OR on air I'm hearing it here in Seattle with CKWX phased down.
