[IRCA] 20 second tone on 1480 and RR music under 1510 WLAC
At 02:04 CST somebody on 1480 Khz is running a continuous loop with a 20 second steady tone. This is repeated about every 43 seconds. Loop bearing approx SE/NW from here. Anyone have any ideas on who this may be. Signal is weak and fady so it is not close. on 1510khz a station playing RR music selections was in poo/fair for a few minutes from 01:55 to 02:05am CST in WLAC null. This unid went through TOH without any ID or spots.

Re: [IRCA] more on 1710 pirate
I don't think it'd be in the Boston area, those are mostly ethnic pirates and i think there already is an ethnic pirate in that area on 1710. I am going to try for this one on the car radio tomorrow evening here in Southern Illinois.

Wow, I wonder what 1510 you heard? I *think* . .but don't know for sure that WLRB 1510 Macomb, IL tends to be standards/nostalgia.. not rock n roll. Could this be WJOT Wabash, IN on late? Could your 1480 be WDJO Cincinatti, OH or WLMV Madison, WI? Either of those would fit your loop bearing.

Re: [IRCA] Bert's Sangean DT400W
Hi Bert: The DT400W is a nice Ultralight size receiver. It is quite sensitive for its size and has good audio - the one aspect that DXers have reported is that the filtering is somewhat broad, leading some to change out the filter. Depending on what you want to use it for, it should be a great take-along radio.

Re: [IRCA] more on 1710 pirate
I suggest that someone search the forums on sites like “Radio Daddy” (www.radiodaddy.com). The station ID’s and the fake commercials are pretty slick in terms of production value and voice quality. My guess is that someone had them produced on a free voice over site such as this one, which is the most popular by far. Finding the request for the production might provide you with a clue to the owner of the station, or at least give you the ability request a QSL from them by sending a private message on the forum. I’m lacking “serious antennas” for AM DXing here at the moment, though I hope to change that soon.

I haven't opened it up yet and I wanted some input before I do. Is it worth keeping? I know that's open for debate, but I thought I would just throw the question out there just like that. Should I have her send it back for something similar? I already have a G8. Do I need something from TECSUN or the like? I have no idea what she paid for it, so if there are any suggestions to be had, please keep it in a similar price range. Thanks for all of your help.

Re: [IRCA] 20 second tone on 1480 and RR music under 1510 WLAC
Tom - I am 99.99% sure that I have been hearing WLRB Macomb, IL on late for the past 3 weeks. It has been widely noted that their talk format ends at 7 PM and they revert to their previous format, whether sunset is before or after that. They keep the old format going to keep the automation functioning, 24/7. AND if the station does not properly sign off at sundown, the old format would of course be sent over the air without ads, newscast and such. I am reasonably sure that I heard a female singing the calls (WLRB) at :27 and :57 and a male announcing them at other times (AM 15-10 WLRB). As far as the standards format goes - many standards format outlets have taken ten (twenty?) years off their playlists. Instead of playing music from the 40's and 50's, they are playing light pop / oldies from the 1960's and 70's. When I first started hearing what I presume to be WLRB, I originally thought that it was rock too but the more I paid attention, the more I noted that the music is more old, light pop, which fits today's standards format. Paul have you heard anything from WLRB's PD? Once again the key question is if WLRB's automation for the music format inserts singing calls at appx 27 and 57 past the hour.

You can reasonably suspect this is WLRB unless I say otherwise. The Engineer agrees the songs played would match WLRB. Do not, however, count this as definate, until I confirm otherwise. They are having some more pressing issues today over there, so my buddy whos the Chief Engineer hasn't had time to attend to my questions.. they're having a computer problem with one of their FMs and one of their on air staffers had a stroke today.

Early Wed AM at 0100 PST Tuning into good DX and found station playing oldies on 1210 with good signal peaks over others so checked log and found CFYM Kindersley Sk.Liked the music and listened for a few minutes but no ID and into another song so I scanned up and found the same music on 1330 but slightly out of sync by a lag of a few seconds.Look ed at log again and found CJYM Rosetown Sk. 1210 peaked out stronger with 250 watts than 1330 did with 10KW. Both stations were simulcasting but ID was independent while log quotes a commom ID for both. Last night at same time only 1330 was audible. 1210 was a mix with SS from Seattle on top Early Wed.After 0100 on 1500 an ESPN Program was out with a better than normal signal as 1500 is usually graveyard sounding.Could not locate such a format in the log so maybe a recent switch from something else to sports.Last night and early this morning no sign of this one and 1500 was level again with distant mix. Also I'm still catching an all day listenable signal from CBC Radio One on 540 in SK. ___ 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] NFLD ultralight bandscan
In the list of stations in this ultralight scan from Signal Hill I noticed that on 747 and 1008 the Canary Islands were on top while on 675 Holland was audible. Since Holland also occupies 747 and 1008 they are not or rarely hopping over the pond.The Dutch 747 and 1008 run on more power than 675 so if Canary did not occupy those slots then Holland would probably be there all the time.The question is --why did two Canary stations choose to operate on the same frequencies as two Dutch Stations. I would bet that the two Dutch guys were on the air before the two Canary ones.

As far as the standards format goes - many standards format outlets have taken ten (twenty?) years off their playlists.

[IRCA] That pesky station on 1510
Yes, it is WLRB. I didn't want to say for sure till we were able to confirm it. What happens is, WLRB programs news/talk during the normal day light hours, say 6am to 6pm but since daylight happens earlier and ends later some months, what WLRB does is revert to a locally automated mix of standards/oldies until sign off time. WLRB's remote control which tells the transmitter when to go on and off has had, apparently, some issues.. it dun be getting stupid I recon.. ie: forgetting the time. If anyone wants a QSL, even an E-QSL, I'll put you in touch with WLRB's engineer.

Paul put me in contact with Gary at WLRB and he emailed me a verification in less than 30 minutes! Gary noted that power failures at the station have thrown the remote control's date / time memory out of whack and the station did not properly sign off. Gary is monitoring the station twice a day until a new backup arrives, next week. I know that Gary has his hands full but Paul said that he will put you in contact with Gary if you want an e-QSL.

[IRCA] KAAY-1090
KAAY is thundering in here tonight at 2345 EST with Christian music (despite horrid IBOC noise from both 1080 and 1100). Don't think I've heard them after their sunset before... gotta be on day pattern. -- 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
