Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT Chuckle
Paul, you're killing me!! :-D I just turned 61 on 2/1, and radio never gets old. I think the reason that most of us love this profession and hobby is the mystique of a radio signal that has traversed the earth, many times using the ionosphere. Whenever I hear DX, I get an exhilaration knowing that the signal has traveled hundreds or thousands of miles with the help of the atmosphere, magnetosphere and the sun!! What a rush!! My Dad was a Ham (I have his call) so I grew up around homebrew equipment, yagis, ozone and a plethora of friends from around the world. To paraphrase Gen MacArthur, my last thoughts will be of the ether, the ether, the ether. 73... Jon W1MNK On 4/5/2011 1:37 PM, Paul B.

[IRCA] Radio Survives and Thrives; The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970
Forwarded from ircaonline.org: --- Press Release Book Announcement Radio Survives and Thrives The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970 By Kenneth D. MacHarg Summary: When the “Purple People Eater” on Louisville’s WAKY came roaring out of listener’s radios on July 7, 1958, radio in Kentucky, and for that matter across the nation, had changed forever. Radio Survives and Thrives is a new publication that describes the changes in Kentucky radio between the end of world war two and the early 1970s as well as the emergence of television in the Commonwealth during those years. Profiling entertainers and stations across the commonwealth, this 60-page publication will bring back many memories and help the reader understand how broadcasting developed and moved toward what it is today. Radio Survives and Thrives is available in print from www.amazon.com, and electronically for Kindle and Nook reading devices. Radio Survives and Thrives The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970 By Kenneth D. MacHarg https://www.createspace.com/Img/T358/T77/T79/BookCoverImage.jpgWhen the “Purple People Eater” on Louisville’s WAKY came roaring out of listener’s radios on July 7, 1958, radio in Kentucky, and for that matter across the nation, had changed forever. Not that those changes should have been unexpected. Since early that decade radio had been faced with a life-threatening situation. The development of television combined with the decline in network radio put local stations into a crisis. The end of World War II saw radio at its apex. Programming from network and local sources filled the airwaves, and local stations were springing up all across the landscape. Radio Survives and Thrives is a new publication that describes the changes in radio between the end of world war two and the early 1970s as well as the emergence of television in the Commonwealth during those years. Originally written as a major chapter for a book on the history of radio in Kentucky, this essay was not used, though it was available to Francis Nash who penned the excellent book Towers over Kentucky: A history of radio and TV in the Bluegrass State that was published by Host Communications in cooperation with the Kentucky Broadcasters Association. For those who want to explore this fascinating era of radio and television history statewide, writer Kenneth D. MacHarg has issued the material in this 60 page booklet available from the following sources: ü in published form at: https://www.createspace.com/3587779, ü in electronic form through Kindle at: http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Survives-and-Thrives-ebook/dp/B004U35ALM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=books&qid=1302019852&sr=8-6 ü for a nook electronic reader at: http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD=kenneth+macharg&page=index&prod=univ&choice=ebooks&query=Kenneth+MacHarg&flag=False&pos=-1&box=Kenneth+MacHarg&box=kenneth%20macharg&pos=-1&ugrp=2 Reading through this publication, the reader will understand why the broadcast media changed during this period. Many radio and TV stations across the state are profiled along with an exploration of the types of programming offered and some of the individuals who helped to make it happen. Listeners will be reminded of on-air personalities from across the state who became like personal friends or who went on to national stardom. In addition, readers will find mention of not only the giant broadcasters in cities such as Louisville and Lexington, but those hometown stations that continued to serve their communities through news, sports broadcasts and entertainment including live, on-air performances by local musicians, country music performers and others. Stations from across the state, from Owensboro to Ashland, Pikeville to Paducah are featured. Author Kenneth MacHarg writes: “I trust you will enjoy this history of the exciting world of broadcasting in Kentucky between 1945 and 1970, its successes, its failures, its foibles, its service to the listeners of Kentucky. Perhaps it will bring back many memories to you or at least help you to understand how broadcasting developed and moved toward what it is today.” For additional information on ordering Radio Survives and Thrives, The History of Kentucky Broadcasting from 1945-1970, use the links above or search for the book at www.amazon.com.

Re: [IRCA] DXers under the age of 30
Rene and Russ, To add to the annoyance of listening to AM radio is the excessive processing some stations use. Can either of you hear WHP 580? Their processing is so extreme that I have to turn the volume way down and even then it gets fatiguing to listen. The attack and release time of their processor is so fast and the volume reduction is so great that sometimes it's difficult to understand the traffic and weather over the sounders. Some commercials are the same. I can't imagine what they are trying to prove, they have one of the best signals in central Pennsylvania and certainly do not need that kind of processing.

Re: [IRCA] DXers under the age of 30 WAY OT
Although we're going way off of the other "off topic" topic, a co-worker bemoaned the FCC relaxing ownership rules. He said that one larger town in the Northern Plains has all of the major FM stations owned by the same firm. They did not have any kind of plan to relay NWS weather warnings and when a big storm hit, the music and syndicated talk just kept right on playing. Of course I can't confirm this hearsay info but it sure sounds about right! 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 6 Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 19:30:34 + (UTC) From: kh...@comcast.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Subject: Re: [IRCA] DXers under the age of 30 Message-ID: <1161331123.675718.1302118234618.javamail.r...@sz0088a.westchester.pa.ma il.comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Sadly, AM radio is one of the worst places to try and get current local information in the Memphis area.

Re: [IRCA] DXers under the age of 30
We lost power for about a day recently due to the big storm that ripped through the Southeast. My wife was bemoaning the loss of TV or internet - - as she could not get up to date info on weather, road conditions, etc. I handed her a square black box (DX-375) and said'remember this...it's called a radio.' I thought it was interesting that radio never even crossed her mind.

Re: [IRCA] DXers under the age of 30
You're right, Russ. Even at my age (59), as one who cut his DX teeth and listening habits in the 60s, I have to admit that unless I am specifically listening for DX, I very rarely listen to terrestrial radio anymore, especially AM. I just get way too frustrated with the noise (IBOC hash, static, etc). Most of my listening in the car is XM. At home and at my work office at I have internet radios and listen to them (even to local stations that stream). It just sounds better. So, I can easily see how young people who were not raised on AM (or even FM) to any extent see radio as an archaic media form that does not meet their needs or interests. Why listen to what programmers want you to hear when you can get whatever you want through an Ipod, Iphone, satellite radio, or other medium?

I have as much fun seeing someone else log something I have found, as I do hearing it myself!!That's why I always report what I hear.

I logged 2 New Stations on 1520 Last NightWMLM and WKVI...both Country Stations, all due to WWKB being on REDUCED POWER, as they have been for some time now.

Youth maybe or maybe not and the same goes for equipment - I have seen "shunning" for no apparent reason. Again not by many - I have productive conversations with about 98% of DX'ers but it is odd when you don't get a reply over several time periods. And of those 98%, I have developed some good friends and acquaintances. One DX'er (Gary) gifted me a ULR and another sold me a radio at his cost. Then there is the other hand. One DX'er I helped with 3 different unID's over a year and I never got as much as a "thank you" or "it could not have been Kxxx because they don't play hip-music at 0445", "leave me alone" and so on. Nothing. I finally remembered that my emails sometime get corrupted. So I emailed that DX'er and simply asked " can you check to see if you got an email from me last Tuesday? Sometimes they go into la la land." I got a reply the next day. "Yeah I have been getting your emails where you helped me ID some stations. I guess that I should have thanked you." :O He guesses that he should have thanked me? Maybe it's just me but I fall all over myself, thanking folks when they offer assistance. Now as far as DX reporting. You will normally get responses when 1. You have an unID that someone can actually help you with (if you are a domestic DX'er you probably would not expect a reply 2. You report a station on late or 3. Someone is testing or wildly off frequency (but some of Tom Jasinski's recent ones have been ignored). But for normal domestic loggings, I do not expect a reply. Your reports are worthwhile, Paul as it may help someone with an unID of their own or to find a station to target for their own logbook. If you want better and more DX, a $15 Sony SRF-59 would be nicer than nothing and there are some low cost ULR's with digital readout too.

I have as much fun seeing someone else log something I have found, as I do hearing it myself!!That's why I always report what I hear.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT chuckle
Again, sorry for the firestorm! Speaking of age (and I know that I have not went through all of the digests yet)BUT how do we perpetuate the hobby? Terrestrial radio is not dead (yet). DX'ing is still a enjoyable hobby and I'm sure that there are some who dabble in it at a young age who do not know about organized clubs and DX'ers. Hey, we all started somewhere. TV and FM catch new DX'ers by surprise, especially sporadic E or strong tropospheric openings. There are at least two WTFDSA'ers in their twenties. Ham radio the same way. A fellow DX'er promised me (and others on the list that we were on) a rig if we got our ticket. I got my ticket but am a little too proud to beg, so I passed but that DX'er and fellow ham has the right mindset! Perpetuate the hobby! Then there are hams with "super stations" with tons of back up, backup gear that will most likely never be on the air again, under his callsign. Then the spouse or kids has to find new homes for the stuff. When I do get a station, I will instruct my heirs to pass it down to a school radio or local club, after I pass. 73, Dave in Indy -- Message: 6 Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2011 10:00:21 -0700 From: Colin Newell To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Subject: Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT Chuckle Message-ID: <1a35Y2FmZQ==.1302022...@helpdesk.islandnet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" On Mon, 4 Apr 2011 22:03:19 -0500 "Paul B.

Re: [IRCA] KORC 820 Waldport OR
The newspaper is slightly incorrect, the FCC allows licenses up to one year (not six months) to be silent before they face possible license revocation. The article mentions they routinely grant a second 6 month window.. which may be true but they don't go after a license to delet eit after only 6 months. Plus, even after a year.. if you've been off longer then a year.. but come back on.. you won't get deleted necessarily. The FCC isn't delete happy like they used to be.
