I'll look for this although I have a problem with a 1060/560 mixing spur as I'm 
within 5 miles of both transmitters.
Also there are two or three Cubans there at any given time, sometimes two 
Rebelde programs, sometimes a 
different program mixing with Rebelde

 I'm hearing Mexican/Latin music on

 Possibly La Que Buena, a mexican pirate in South-East PA -

 But I'm really unsure.  I haven't been able to match
 what might be the station's livestream:

[IRCA] 740 (was: Boston's Real Jazz WZBR 1410 on air)

2013-12-19 Thread Mark Connelly
On the west-null cardioid pattern antenna I run here, CHCM Marystown, 
Newfoundland dominates 740 at night quite often as the antenna reduces 
co-channel CFZM Toronto which would typically dominate on other 
antennas.  CHCM was formerly known as CBNM when it relayed CBC-network 
640 CBN St. John's.  Now it relays 590 VOCM St. John's with a country 
format.


Marc is right, as noted below.  NL has replaced NF as the abbreviation 
for Newfoundland-Labrador as QC has replaced PQ for Quebec.  Not to 
mention that NU (Nunavut) is a fairly recent Canadian addition.


There are no Mexican stations that I have ever heard on 740 in nearly 
55 years of listening.

[IRCA] Holiday Season Message 2013

2013-12-19 Thread Radio Heritage Mail

December 20 2013

To friends and supporters

As the Christmas season is upon us, we wish you and your family and
friends a peaceful time in this traditionally busy yet reflective
time of the year.

Thank you for your continued interest in and support of our volunteer
based project through 2013. It's been a year of some consolidation
for us, but we've also been able to add the new Retro Radio Dial
series of features, a brand new New Zealand Radio Guide and a limited
number of new features as we prepare to totally rebuild the website
for launching in 2014, our 10th anniversary year.

In this new age of social media where people can share photos, audio
and memories and comments in the blink of an eye,
www.radioheritage.net stands even more importantly for stability,
researched content and continuity.

This is reflected in visitors spending almost 35% longer on the site
compared to a year ago, and visiting over 10% more pages each time
they visit.

Our biggest area of concern has been meeting our overheads. We have
no Santa Claus or fairy godmother and total visitors to the project
rarely interest advertisers and donors look for something big back in
exchange for their support these days.

So we continue to rely on individuals to cover the costs. For the
year ended December 31 it looks like we'll be some $6000 less than
needed to pay the bills. This is a big burden for a small non-profit
organization to carry into 2014.

If you can make a donation to reduce this debt it would be helpful at
this time of the year. See the KULA hula girl at
www.radioheritage.net for details.

You'll also be acknowledged on the Supporter Roll.

To bring us up to date at December 31 you could become one of:
177 Regular Gold supporters @ $35
124 Contributing supporters @ $50
62 Sponsor supporters @ $100
and know you're one of the Top 1% making it all possible.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed money, time, memories,
memorabilia and skills to the project, and we'll do our best to keep
honoring your trust and interest.

Please join us again in 2014, and in the meantime, we wish you Merry
Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, Happy New Year, and
please enjoy the features and services at
www.radioheritage.netthe features and services which you, our
supporters, make possible.

[IRCA] TP 19 Dec, Victoria version

2013-12-19 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Not particularly good before 1500UTand not particularly good 
after 1500UT.  A tiny lift after about 1525UT, but that was it.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


uh uh




Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):



still unlikely



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


567 JOIK presumed, woman and man in JJ 1427UT for a minute or so
747 JOIB woman in JJ 1349UT
774 JOUB man in JJ 1522UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music) :


594 JOAK? man talking, JJ inflection 1527UT
828 JOBB man talking //774 1522UT
1053 KK jammer 1351UT
1575 VoA? man talking, SE Asian inflection? 1540UT



Strongish het, no or near imaginaryaudio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):
