Re: [IRCA] WKVQ Test
I caught a nice Morse code ID followed by rapid sweeps just before 0203 EST. This was good timing, as hugely dominant CHIN went from news to music soon thereafter, and effectively drowned out everything else for the remainder of the half hour. Thanks for repeating the test, since I missed last year's due to travels. Nice to end the year with a new catch, as they've been few and far between this year...

Re: [IRCA] WKVQ Test
Tried out here in distant NW B.C. on Haida Gwaii. I taped the 30 minutes and listened mostly half asleep live, and didn't hear anything for certain. KXEL was definitely the dominant station, although I also had Seattle and a CA station weakly as well. If anyone has exact times of various code/test tones, etc, I'd love to know so that I can compare my tape, just in case something was there.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Asian language station on 1540 KHz?
Good to see you here Les. I don't know if anyone has answered, but your Asian on 1540 could either be CHIN Toronto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIN_(AM) Or KGBC Galveston http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGBC The Toronto station is independent and multilingual (including non-Asian languages), the Galveston station is CRI (100% Chinese government controlled programming). I believe both stations have webstreams, so the next time you run into this you should be able to figure out which one it is, if you are near a computer. Both have been heard here in St. Louis Missouri, with the Toronto station being downright regular. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Earl Higgins RX-321 and 15 m end fed wire thing outside St. Louis, Missouri, USA (W 90.32 N 38.65) - Original Message - From: Les Rayburn I haven't done any serious AM DXing in quite some time, so I was trying to become familiar with the regulars on 1540 KHz this evening. Around 7 PM Central time, I did some listening from my car, and noticed a very loud Asian language station. I don't recall logging this format on the frequency in the past. Listening now at 11:30 PM, I don't hear a trace of them. Any idea who this station is? 73 Good Luck to all with the test, Les Rayburn, N1LF ___ 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

[IRCA] Last nights WKVQ test.
Unlike everyone else out west, I did hear one very small portion of last nights test. At 00:02:50 I heard an ID in morse followed by what can only be described as a whoop whoop sound. Listened to the whole half hour and never heard any more, and what I did hear was only made possible because someone very kindly mentioned the times of when they had heard the morse IDs. Without this prior knowledge I don't think I would have heard it. I guess this makes up for me not hearing the previous test. Heard with my Perseus using my east/west beverage. Many thanks to Craig Baker, Jim Chenard and Saul Chernos for making this possible.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1540 unid
At 0230 ELT, I heard two very distinct bits of programming from ESPN Radio under KXEL and mixing with WKVQ, including IDs and sounders as such. I'd love to think this was Cleveland, but maybe someone else on the frequency has added ESPN Radio in recent months. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska Sangean ATS-909X, Quantum QX Pro loop From: Russ Edmunds wb2...@yahoo.com To: AM WTFDA a...@lists.wtfda.info; NRC List a...@nrcdxas.org; IRCA List irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2011 12:05 PM Subject: [NRC-AM] 1540 unid Oldies under KXEL and over/under WKVQ.
