[IRCA] Recent Road Trip, etc.
Hi All: Got back yesterday from long, multi-state road trip. Noted a few things so I'll list them in frequency order. 910, WEPG, S. Pittsburgh, TN went thru Chattanooga on I-24 so got quite near Pittsburgh, TN, but no sign of WEPG, not even an OC. 1070, WBKW, Beckley WV, which was off last time I was thru there in March is on w/its usual gospel format, so likely they had a failure in some part of the system in March. Don't think there's a live person there much. 1320, WCVG, Covington, KY was on w/RB. Barry has 'em listed as off. 1480, WDJO, Cincinnati, OH has been noted several times here (tho' not on trip when I didn't check) playing local origination oldies, essentially the same format as when these calls were on 1160. 1560, WPAD, Paducah, KY went right thru Paducah no sign of this one, not even an OC. Could be temporary, but they were certainly off. WEMM is still silent and as for WWCS, 540, there's no sign of 'em. I've heard them regularly here since the days when they were WARO playing classical mx. Several Pittsburgh area stations are day regulars here, including WMBS-590 u/WVLK, WKHB-620 o/WWNR, WPIT-730 (barely), WWNL-1080, and, of course, KDKA. But WWCS has disappeared. I can't imagine this having anything to do with the move of CBEF, so I suspect their power must be reduced for some reason. 73 David ___ 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

Yes, maybe is what I like to see posted. We can determine a groundwave area fairly well, but skywave varies in intensity different areas are favored on different nights. I think we can get skywave from at least as close as 30 miles, as I can hear some fading on KSTP-1500 at night, even though they beam the equivalent of close to 100 kw my way. 73, George S., MN From: Neil Bartlett geewa...@mhtc.net To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 12:23 AM Subject: [IRCA] (no subject) 1190 KQQZ DeSoto, MO 5/21 Easily on top and dominant with country 2315-18 CDT, amlogbook says 22 watts @ night?
