Re: [IRCA] Unstable ionospheric conditions

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Lessee,.weak TA carriers earlier, and an oddball mix of northern 
Japanese carriers (1287 hints of audio there, 747, 774), and  Pacific 
Islands (738, 1017) carriers at 0620UT.   Best to look after that 
last minute Christmas shopping...


(and this morning (19 Dec) wasn`t a whole lot better; weak audio on 
774 and 828...)


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] SCOTTSDALE TRIP

[Pete Taylor]

My wife and I visited in Scottsdale, AZ 12/11-18 (staying near Exit 38 off of 
Hwy. 101) and I brought a Tecsun PL-380 to play with between other activities. 
We were in a relatively quiet area. 550, 620, 910 and 1580 were the only 
stations I couldn't squish to some extent. There were no rocket science 
discoveries but it is always fun to visit a new place and test the dial for 
surprises:
710 KBMB Black Canyon City - Spanish. Good days but nada at night
740 KCBS SF surprisingly good nites
750 UNID SS nites
1040 days: image from KMIK-1580 (I haven't derived it)
1040 nites: XE, "La primera 10-40" and "Mega 10-40"
1100 KFNX Cave Creek - good day and night
1160 An XE topped KSL one night
1230 KOY Phoenix - mush at night
1350 KTDD San Bernardino; I heard the slogan "The Toad"
1370 K - UNID, Asian pgmg. nite, KWRM suspected
1380 KLPZ Parker AZ good nightly w/probably more than 58 watts
1430 KLO Ogden UT good nites
1430 Asian one night, KMRB suspected
1440 KAZG Scottsdale - not discernable at night

Many XEs all over the place but time and my lack of Spanish skills prevented 
further exploration.

And yeah, if you must know, the 70 to 78 temps we had five of the seven days 
were absolutely fine.

[IRCA] 1300 KAPL Phoenix OR

[bill kral]

Heard in Nanaimo BC early afternoons on 1300 a good signal with 
uninterrupted Christmas or Christian music over coverage edge of KKOL Seattle. 
Continuous music and not much talk so ID was not available for extended time 
but Radio Station World site shows KAPL Phoenix OR as the format heard and 
operating on 20KW/5KW. Signal disappeared at LSS. Bill in BC

when it does run in a simulcast, it is a simulcast of WCON-FM, so therefore,

[IRCA] ULR DX....UNID Classic Country Station on 1450 GraveYard ..................................

[Robert S.Ross VA3SW]

Hi Guys:

  I did a little Sunset DXing tonight and have a Logging of a Classic 
Country Station on 1450 Khz.


The suspects I can see that would fit the bill are

WNBY Newberry, Michigan...this is who I think it is..

WFTR Front Royal, Virginia

WREL Lexington, Virginia

WCOL in Cornelia, Georgia was disqualified as I checked their Live Feed 
and it was not them.


I believe it may have been WNBY...but of course they don't have a Live 
Feed, or much of a Webpage I could check.


I wonder if there is anyone near WNBY in Newberry, MICHIGAN that can 
confirm the Quasi-ID heard several times as outlined in my Log below

Interesting that when I checked at 06:55 UTC, there was a pretty decent
