Donald,

It musta been a bit scary for you when you had your attack and I msure,
while you got better, the hospital was no fun. Sorry to hear you had to go
through that.

Me and my bestest buddy, George The beagle wish you a very speedy recovery

Re: [IRCA] WHP 580 IBOC

2011-04-08 Thread Craig Healy

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know if anyone has ever asked this
or not, but why do some IBOC stations have such a hiss behind their
audio and others do not? I have noticed that for a long time. Does the
night skip have something to do with it? It is very irritating to listen
to these stations at times. One of the worst is KFBK 1530.


Hiss behind the audio...  Yes, does happen.  Some stations have a more 
correct setup that others.  The digital sidebands are sometimes less 
confined to the correct bandwidths.  For example, the 550 station had extra 
sidebands at 27kHz either side of the 550 spot.  While it was within the FCC 
requirements, they were still there.  The upper and lower sidebands are 
supposed to be phased.  One is -90° and the other is +90°.  That puts them 
at 180° and they null out in the analog band.  If the antenna system isn't 
perfectly flat on the load across the whole spectrum, then some digital hiss 
would be heard as the null isn't as exact.


And night skip does affect it, if there's a signal from an adjacent IBOC 
station.  WBZ-1030 is 30+ miles from Providence.  KDKA-1020 IBOC interferes 
with them at night.  It affected one of my clients receiving EAS at night. 
I had to use one of the large ferrite loops set to null KDKA to fix that.


Other than a noninductive resistor load, there really is no flat transmit 
load anywhere.  Antennas are different loads across a frequency band, some 
worse than others.  That's probably the main reason why some stations are 
worse than others, and some don't run it at night.


There is a limitation requirement for spurious signals.  It's not expected 
to be zero, but under a specific value depending how far off the center 
frequency it is.  Ever notice a second or third adjacent station has some 
noise?  Happens on FM as well.  I have a local 93.3 with IBOC.  When they 
run that, I cannot hear a 92.7 station about 40 miles away.


Given the quick addition of internet access in new vehicles, IBOC will 
probably be overrun by streaming audio.  My personal guesstimate is that 
when the streams are accessable by a significant percentage of people, even 
transmitters may be less important.  Think of the change from horses to 
automobiles a hundred years ago...

[IRCA] IBOC signal question

2011-04-08 Thread Hawkins

Gang,

It occurred to me a while back that as much as some stations push their 
high def signal, I don't know anyone who has one of the radios.  I can 
hear the hiss from WHO (1040) in Des Moines from about 1022 to 1057. It 
may be wider but those are the points where other station manage to get 
through. WHO's transmitter is about 40 miles from my house as the crow 
flies.  I don't know how much this costs each station every month, but 
it seems in tight economic times, stations would not be wasting money on 
dubious features that nobody uses.  Are they trying to make money off 
this in some way I don't know about?


Thanks,

Steve

It isn't just hiss behind the audio either, as in the case of KFBK 1530.
There becomes a echo hum behind with the hiss. I used to listen to KFBK
at night years ago, but not any longer as the noise drives me nuts. It
is very irritating to listen to. KFI has the noise too, but it isn;t as
irritating as it is and not as loud. The KFBK's noise often sounds like
a train behind their signal with a whoosing sound. Now on KCBS 740 is
now bad. KEX can be noisy too, so I never listen to them. KEX is worse
at night once the skip takes ahold of their signal. KSL isn't to bad.
Some are and some aren't.

And night skip does affect it, if there's a signal from an adjacent
IBOC station. WBZ-1030 is 30+ miles from Providence. KDKA-1020 IBOC
interferes with them at night. It affected one of my clients receiving
EAS at night. I had to use one of the large ferrite loops set to null
KDKA to fix that.

I think there is a lot more IBOC in the East than here. The NW has not
gone with it as much on AM. I think as I type this we only have a
handfull of stations in the NW. The ones I know run is 24/7 are
Tacoma/Seattle/Olympia/Everett  850/1250/1340/1380
Portland
 1190/1330/1640

Other than a noninductive resistor load, there really is no flat
transmit load anywhere. Antennas are different loads across a frequency
band, some worse than others. That's probably the main reason why some
stations are worse than others, and some don't run it at night.

I have noticed IBOC hiss on frequencies there doesn't see to be a
station adjacent at night, especially off the Eastern beverage. However,
I know that the IBOC hiss can travel and if I do a bit a searching, I
find some 5 KWer running IBOC in the Midwent or East on an adjacent that
I probably am hearing. Too bad I cannot get the signal itself. A nice
new catch. hi. 
 
Given the quick addition of internet access in new vehicles, IBOC will
probably be overrun by streaming audio. My personal guesstimate is that
when the streams are accessable by a significant percentage of people,
even transmitters may be less important. Think of the change from horses
to automobiles a hundred years ago...

I agree with you on that, I think that is coming. Especially in parts of
the country where electric rates are climbing. Is the 50KW transmitter
worth the cost to keep it running? The question is, will we be around by
then to take advantage of the cleaner radio dial? It seems many of these
stations are reluctant to drop the IBOC, even though there is no
adantage of keeping it especially on AM.  IBOC radios have never been
big sellers, even for FM.

[IRCA] Newfoundland Ultralight Radio Trans-Atlantics Domestics Report Apr 7-8

2011-04-08 Thread Allen Willie
Hello To All,

Trans-Atlantic signals continue to abound at our new QTH . Last evening high 
static noise levels due only to a high Solar A Index prevailed early on and 
then settled down for the remainder of the night. 

A few newly heard stations here were added to this location's list different 
from the previous nights.

There is a point of land and road that juts out a good distance from beyond our 
residence so perhaps on the weekend a venture may be in store for an even more 
remote DXing experience.

[IRCA] OT: I'm On The Air Tonight!

2011-04-08 Thread Paul B. Walker, Jr.
Most of my radio career has placed me behind the mic playing tunes, but my
current job has me acting as Producer/Board Operator by day for our
news/talk station. At 6pm, we change formats and play 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s
music. Occassionally I get behind the mic for a few hours and play some
tunes.. tonight is one of them nights:)

Join me from 6pm to 10 pm Central TONIGHT on air at Monster Radio AM 1150 in
the Marion, IL area or worldwide at http://www.wggh.net/ I've got some GREAT
tunes tonight... especially from the 50s, 60s and 70s.. I love em so I'm
sure you will too! LISTEN IN AND ENJOY!

I don't post too often here and never really off-topic, so I hope no one
minds;)
