[IRCA] ULR DX....NEW STATION last night....1530 KQSP Shakopee, MINNESOTA
Hi Guys: Thanks to a Tip from TODD SKAINE in MINNESOTA, I heard a NEW STATION for both the OVERALL and ULR LOGS last night. 1530 KQSP appeared to be utilizing their 8.6 KW Daytime Power instead of their usual 10 Watt Night Time Transmitter. Perhaps they were Testingas there was a 2 minute DEAD AIR CARRIER on the hour, with an ID in English that followed. The signal was mostly Under WCKY Cincinnati..but did rise up over WCKY at times. The SONY SRF-T615 ULR is very good at nulling Stations, and that helped a lot with taking out WCKY!!

Doubt they were testing, dead air sounds like whatever network news feed they were supposed to switch to at top of hour didn't come on.

This is not too surprising, considering that XEROK is 150 kW ND, while KQCV is 1 kW at night direxional protecting XEROK. Yet as far away as Enid I can pick either one by nulling the other, but no way to do that on the caradio. At least they are close to zero-beat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1590, Nov 7 at 1849 UT, KWEY Weatherford barely audible with local mention. This was around Okarche OK on the road. I can`t hear it in Enid, and had suspected it was off the air, so was tuned to 1590 as heading south on US 81; once KVGB Great Bend KS could no longer be heard on groundwave, still nothing for a while. And shortly after exiting Okarche, which is NW of OKC, on SH 3 toward OKC, losing KWEY again. That`s because of their efficient 2-tower direxional pattern: http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/314389-23611.pdf which has nulls toward 00-05, and 75 degrees, but a very broad pattern covering from NW to SE, peaking at 220 degrees. 1 kW day, 32 watts night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1640, Nov 8 circa 0410-0420 UT on I-35 between Edmond and Guthrie, KZLS ``Hennessey-OKC`` with True Oldies suffers heavy rapid SAH and QRM from presumed WTNI in Biloxi MS, which must still be on day power of 10 kW instead of 1 kW. It wouldn`t be nearly so bad if the two stations could be zero-beat. (As far as I can tell, KZLS is on-frequency, or very close, compared to other carriers in the daytime.) KZLS has the same problem along US 81 on the other side of OKC, despite its unusual direxional pattern with a lobe toward OKC. Altho that is legal, perhaps WTNI is illegally retaliating for KZLS causing them more QRM than it would otherwise near Biloxi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Nov 14 at 0620 UT, open carrier/dead air from KZLS, so I can hear ``ESPN 98.7`` thru it, I think that being their New York frequency altho this is certainly WTNI in Biloxi MS. Unknown for how long dead, as it`s late, and leaving the volume up would be risky (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 580, Sunday Nov 10 at 1305-1308 UT, after CBS news and WIBW Topeka ID, President`s weekly address, about honoring veterans. Traces of XEMU Spanish in background. Followed by ad, not Republican rebuttal, tho WIBW surely runs that at some other time. Finding Presidential address is tough as it`s so short, presumably originally airing about 24 hours earlier on Saturdays, up to every station`s scheduling whims. Maybe different networks re-availablize it at different times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 650, Nov 11 at 0215 UT, hardly any signal from WSM, instead XETNT, Radio K, mentioning Guasave and Los Mochis, and also when nulled, English talk, probably KGAB WY.

Or strange propagation, not exactly auroral as further north stations such as CFZM 740 are in well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 660, Nov 11 at 1316 UT, CW music from N/S, whence?

[IRCA] Brazilian on 1200
Olá, Brasileiros, acham que este sinal venha do Brasil? 1200 kHz, e qual é? This evening I had some (Brazilian) Portuguese on 1200 at 0124 UT November 15; with WOAI nulled, which must have been in a fade as it gradually took over again. It`s all talk, first a man mentioning ``espiritual`` and then a woman talking as the QRM grows. The first Brazilian I think of is R. Cultura, São Paulo, or rather Cultura Brasil as it is now known, but it should be mostly music. It`s 100 kW but only 20 kW at night; and there are five others of lower powers. CJRJ in Vancouver is multi-cultural, but mostly Punjabi and apparently no Portuguese per their schedule. A few Spanish in the US such as WJUA (ex-WINK) in Florida, Mexican music, and WRTO in Chicago, Univisión, but hard to imagine them slipping into Portuguese. This was not ``Portunhol`` -- the Davi Miranda wacko preaching which is a mixture of languages, heard on many SW stations. There are several Mexicans on 1200, but again why would they have anything in Portuguese, or why would anything outside of Brasil? Could there be some other ethnic and/or religious station in the USA? Here`s my clip; please listen and offer any suggestions. It`s best at the first but after two minutes, can only be heard under WOAI. http://www.w4uvh.net/1200Braz.rm You`ll note a subaudible heterodyne of almost 4 Hz against WOAI in case that helps to ID it. Surprised to see WOAI at 36 Hz high as of September 2013 in mwoffsets. Only Brazilian listed is Fortaleza, 7 Hz lo. Please copy directly to me as well as list reply.

Re: [IRCA] Fwd: Amazing, Adaptable AM Radio
As Dennis (and others) pointed out with Wikipedia links, KCBS/KQW was testing in 1909, though they were using experimental calls at the time. There was also a Canadian Marconi station on the air before KDKA. The first license granted in the USA by the Department of Commerce was to KDKA, but they weren't the first on the air.
