Re: [IRCA] KPWX 1130 Mount Angel S-9+50 db at 1359 utc

2010-09-30 Thread Patrick Martin
Dennis,

I am also surprised with the signal of KWPX as when they were testing, I
could easily get CKWX fine. The NW and NE EWE's are very directional and
I have the nulls peaked perfectly. Even KEX is 20DB down from the SW
EWE, and it is not directional towards Portland/the valley. The NE EWE
is aimed pretty much at Seattle/Vancouver. CKWX had S9+10-15 DB days,
but now is under KWPX at S9+30-35!!!  I don't have a wire directional to
the SE. If I did, I can imagine the signal! I cannot understand how they
can get away running an ERP of 50KW to the North. Apparently the FCC
oked that. Don't we have to protect CKWX? CKWX seems to think so. Right
now, CKWX is losing their Frasier Valley listeners. As it gets towards
Winter more, KWPX will cut into more of their day, with the darkness
path. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

73,

Patrick

Kaz,

A couple of the Newfoundland DXpeditions reported Argentina on this frequency; 
John Bryant also heard it from Easter Island.  A long shot, but with your 
equipment, I don't rule out anything.  KHPY aims nearly everything toward the 
Pacific.  Shawn Axelrod in Winnipeg, as well as Wayne Heinen and John Wilkins 
in the Denver area, are the Easternmost guys I can remember hearing it.  You've

Patrick,

I was sure surprised at the strength of KPWX signal since they signed on the 
air.
KPNX is strong here and my antennas are aimed Northwest and Northeast. Tomorrow
I will use the Palstar 30 cc and the high performance whip and get a more 
accurate
signal strength reading.  Thanks to Scott for explaining the FFC sunrise/sunset 
times.
They are lowering their power at the proper time.  It will be interesting to 
see if tomorrow 
KPWX lowers power at 6:30 PDT.

Their sister station on 1150, KLPM signs off completely at night instead of 
powering
down to 47 watts.

They are about S9+35 here at over 100 miles away. It seems if operating
at 25 KW, they seem a bit strong, unless they are sending more signal to

There's local sunset, and then there's FCC sunset, which is averaged 
over each month and rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment. In 
September and March, when sunrise/sunset times vary most widely from the 
start to the end of the month, that often means "FCC sunset" falls well 
after real sunset by Sept. 30.


You can find FCC sunrise/sunset times for each station from the FCC's AM 
Query. Here's the link to KPWX's (watch for wrap):

Times are always given in standard time. KPWX goes to night 
power/pattern at 6:30 PM PST = 7:30 PM PDT = 0230 UTC in September. If 
they're operating correctly, tomorrow's pattern change will come an hour 
earlier: 5:30 PM PST = 6:30 PM PDT = 0130 UTC.


KPWX powers up at 5:45 AM PST (6:30 AM PDT) in September, 6:30 AM PST

[IRCA] KPWX drops power at 0230 utc.

Good evening,

KPWX dropped from daytime power at 0230 utc.  Local sunset at Mt. Angel is 0153 
utc.
When KPWX reduced power their signal was S-9+40db on the u shaped fence antenna.
CKWX is now on top of the channel with a signal of S-9+30db. I not sure if KPWX 
dropped 
power or sign-off? No sign of them now.  

Local sunrise at Mt. Angel is 1409 utc, I will check the channel when TP Dxing 
this
coming morning for a KPWX sign on time.

The values in the FCC tables and polar graphs are the electric
field strength in millivolts per meter at one kilometer from the antenna
array. The RMS value is what the field would be from a non directional
antenna. Two sets of values are given, std (standard) and theo (theory);
in some cases  third value is given, aug (augmented) which does not
concern
us here.

As the field strength is proportional to the square root of the
transmitter
power, if follows that the power is proportional to the square of the
field strength.

Thus to get an estimate of the effective radiated power alone one
azimuth one takes
the ratio of the field strength along that azimuth (from the chart or
estimated from
the polar plot) to the RMS value and squares that number, which in turn
is multiplied
by the transmitter power to the array. It does not really matter if one
uses the std or theo
values as we are looking for an estimate only.

For example:

KPWX-1130 operating at 25 kW the RMS std value is 1571.07 mV/m at 1 km

At an azimuth of zero (straight north, towards CKWX) the std field is
2248.79 mV/m at 1 km

(2248.79/1571.07) squared is 2.0488 x 25 kW = 51.2 kW ERP to QRM CKWX

At a azimuth of 240 (middle of the null)  std is 79.86 mV/m at 1 km

(79.86/1571.07) squared = 0.00258 x 25 kW = 0.646 kW = 646 watts

KPWX-1130 operating at 25 kW the RMS std value is 1571.07 mV/m at 1 km

At an azimuth of zero (straight north, towards CKWX) the std field is 2248.79 
mV/m at 1 km

(2248.79/1571.07) squared is 2.0488 x 25 kW = 51.2 kW ERP to QRM CKWX

At a azimuth of 240 (middle of the null)  std is 79.86 mV/m at 1 km

(79.86/1571.07) squared = 0.00258 x 25 kW = 0.646 kW = 646 watts

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-30

2010-09-30 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
 TP propagation took another definite upturn this  morning here, with 
excellent conditions to the Chinese mainland, as well as to  Japan. 
Yesterday's threshold Chinese audio on 909, 918 and 936 kHz became  fair audio 
this 
morning, and the 675-NHK1 5 kW Japanese synchros won out  over VOV-Hanoi on 
the frequency around 1403, for an all-time new TP logging  here. Apparent 
Chinese stations on 684, 792 and 1107 kHz were close to  audio, and the 
1053-Chinese "restaurant music" station was giving the  Korean Jammer a tough 
fight 
for the frequency.
 
 Around 1325 all five of the frequencies from  909-945 kHz had either 
Chinese audio or strong carriers, and a search of the  middle and higher 
band's normally Chinese frequencies almost always produced the  same result. 
The 
short-duration sunrise enhancement at this modest inland  location didn't 
provide enough time to go after all of them, and if someone  had been in 
Masset or Grayland this morning, they probably would have had  Chinese DX that 
was off the charts.

[IRCA] 675 kHz NHK1 Japanese Synchros

2010-09-30 Thread D1028Gary
Hello All,
 
There was another bizarre fade-in during TP-DXing this morning here, and I  
was wondering whether anyone else noticed it.
 
675-VOV was all alone on the frequency in Vietnamese with a fair  signal at 
1401 (with a YL apparently reading news) when the Hanoi  signal took a 
dive, mixing with a co-channel, and then fading out  completely as it was 
replaced by a Japanese-speaking YL reading the news at a  fair level, // 594 
kHz.  
This all happened within 2 minutes, recorded in  the MP3 at 
_http://www.mediafire.com/?z6ss6c9873e7j4n_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?z6ss6c9873e7j4n)   
(headphones  recommended).
 
The 5 kw Japanese NHK1 synchros on 675 kHz seem to be common in  Masset 
(John B. reported them as almost daily visitors in the 2007 DXpedition),  but 
this was the first time they were ever heard here. This was received on the  
9' PVC loop, for the 7th new TP logging of the new season. 
 
73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)

Re: [IRCA] CKWX 1130 Interference etc etc

2010-09-30 Thread Saul DX
I listened fto 11430 on a spotty basis last night for any Spanish. Only 
thing besides the Detroit and New York regulars was weak country from 
presumed KWKH in LA. First time this season for KWKH, though I'm sure it's 
there much of the time...

If you check tonight starting at from about 8 to 8:15 PM MDT, I suspect 
you'll find them mixing in with CKWX which also should be coming in by 
that time. 1130 is a nice channel here since everything seems to null this 
way (perhaps to protect WISN) and WISN has a very deep null this way, to 
protect KWKH which nulls to the north.


I suspect KPWX will become the easiest way to get OR here in IL. 1080 has 
to deal with KYMN which often runs day power into the night and being 
sports can be tough to ID. 1190 has to deal with Sask. Both 1080 and 1190 
were in last night via SSS and 1190 was really good at 8:28 MDT with Dave 
Ramsey.


DXers in my vicinity or even east of here who can get CKWX before their 
sunset should be able to get KPWX tonight as well on what is one of the 
best sunset skip days of the year.


Re: IBOC... I often phase WRVA when DXing to the west on 1130. That 
reduces their IBOC, although I still have to cope with KMOX's which, if 
bad I tune to 1128 or 1129 to get further away from the big IBOC on 1134.


Re: IBOC again...LOL last night when trying 1140 at times phase nulling 
WRVA. There was some IBOC from 1130 (nothing on 1150 that I can get has 
IBOC) even though KFAN was the only thing coming in that uses IBOC and the 
situation on 1130 was the CKWX and KPWX were equal, with KWKH under and 
KFAN under that as the 4th best received station on the channel, but 
enough to be an IBOC bother !!

Just checked 1130 here from SE Montana. No sign of any interference at 
sundown or overnight.  I did catch a news story they were running and they 
talked about the Spanish interference for about a minute around the 
11:40pm PDT newscast. Mentioned for listeners to call or text them with 
their reports and they would be getting ahold of the radio officials with 
reports.  I hope they can resolve it without much issue. I like tuning 
into CKWX at night sometimes for news.  It's nice not having any 
interference or adjacent IBOC to deal with on 1130 in this area.

Re: [IRCA] Pigs Fly! KFAQ-1170 off

2010-09-30 Thread Glenn Hauser
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Tnx to a quick tip from Bruce Winkelman, Tulsa that his 
local KFAQ 1170 was off at 0355 UT Sept 30, I hurried to check the frequency. 
Around 0405 UT quite a jumble there, and nice to have the IBOC off too. But now 
there is some IBOC QRM from KSL when aiming E/W. Two Spanish speakers, one with 
music, one with talk, when that is nulled. One ran a slogan ID but could not 
catch it.

NRC AM Log shows no US nighttimers in Spanish on 1170; WRTH shows eight 
nighttimers in Mexico, no more than 2.5 kW from Puebla and Aguascalientes.

0420 check, KFAQ is back on but weak, and easily nulled. Must be backup 
transmitter, and still no IBOC.

At 1650 UT, KFAQ still seems weaker than usual, but this is subjective as I 
don`t pay much attention to its normal level. But, no IBOC audible now either, 
so probably still on backup. If this continue into UT Oct 1, should enhance DX 
possibilities on 1157-1183 kHz.

Is there anything about this situation on the KFAQ website, titled ``Tulsa`s 
Conservative Talk Radio Station`` http://www.1170kfaq.com/
(even tho they don`t have Rush, just othercreeps like Beck, Ingraham, bits from 
O`Reilly, Huckabee)? No. 

How about the radio-info.com OK board? 
http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?board=224.0
No, again, tho participants there often post inside info on what`s going on in 
the market (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[IRCA] NAVTEX log

2010-09-30 Thread Jim Renfrew

Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

For all of you NAVTEX fans out there ... I fired up the SEATTY software a 
few days ago for the first time in a while.  On 518 kHz through the night I 
had stations C and Q from California, but of greater interest was station J 
from Alaska at 1100z.  I should have been doing LW beacons from that 
direction , except I was asleep.


For DGPS fans, here was one of the messages on Station C from California:

ZCZC CA68Q

[IRCA] Undercover Radio - The Fifties On Air

2010-09-30 Thread Geralyn Hollerman
For anyone interested:

Media Release
Radio Heritage Foundation
www.radioheritage.net

Undercover Radio -
The Fifties On Air


A young man growing up in Missouri, another growing up in Virginia
and yet another in far away New Zealand.

They were all drawn together by one common love and exploring a world
far beyond their local towns. In 'Undercover Radio' the new Popular
Culture feature of the Radio Heritage Foundation at
www.radioheritage.net you'll be drawn into their world from The
Fifties.

Bob Dylan, Bill Hester and Keith Robinson lived thousands of miles
apart, but were connected through the airwaves to the same radio
stations, the same DJs and the same music at the same time.

With extracts from memoirs and colorfully illustrated with popular
magazines of the time, personal letters from the DJs at radio
stations and beautiful artwork of station logos and much more, Bill
Hester's 'coming of age' story comes alive for new generations who
enjoy the music of Bob Dylan.

Releasing the new feature at www.radioheritage.net, the Radio
Heritage Foundation says 'This story captures a moment in time when
musical influences from all over could beam into one tiny transistor
radio held under the bedsheets and have a profound influence on the
development of popular music as we know it today'.

'It nicely ties together our long held belief that radio heritage is
more than just dusty old cards, letters and photos, fading memories
and scratchy records - and connects not only people and places, but
the popular culture of a significant era in time'.

>From WOR New York, KYW Philadelphia, WSB Atlanta, WBAL Baltimore, and
many hundreds more stations across the eastern seaboard and mid-west
of the USA, the sounds of The Fifties swept across the nation and
across the world.

'Undercover Radio' at www.radioheritage.net is entertaining,
informative and when you listen to Bob Dylan's music from now on,
you'll always hear the echoes of those magical radio airwaves and the
music, ideas and influences that crossed so many borders.

The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific. Our global website is www.radioheritage.net.

[IRCA] CHSC 1220 Wins A Temporary Reprieve

2010-09-30 Thread Paul B. Walker, Jr.
>From Tom Taylor's Radio Info Newsletter

An Ontario AM wins a temporary reprieve from a Canadian court.

The station is St. Catharines-licensed CHSC (1220), which was handed the
ultimate penalty (loss of license) for flouting its license conditions. CHSC
is supposed to serve the local community around St. Catharines, not the
Italian community toward Toronto. Licensee Pellpropco went to court, and a
judge will allow it to appeal the decision that ordered it to sign off on
August 31.

* Why more TA action Oct 1 and afterwards? And from your experience is late 
Oct similar to the west like late Sept is, after local sunset?



re: 940.. IA is religous. I suspect hockey was Yorktown.

[IRCA] CKWX 1130 Interference

2010-09-30 Thread Ty
Just checked 1130 here from SE Montana. No sign of any interference at sundown 
or overnight.  I did catch a news story they were running and they talked about 
the Spanish interference for about a minute around the 11:40pm PDT newscast. 
Mentioned for listeners to call or text them with their reports and they would 
be getting ahold of the radio officials with reports.  I hope they can resolve 
it without much issue. I like tuning into CKWX at night sometimes for news.  
It's nice not having any interference or adjacent IBOC to deal with on 1130 in 
this area.
