Re: [IRCA] Gary Owens, radio and 'Laugh-In' announcer, dies at 80
Gary Owens was also the original voice of Space Ghost in the 1960's HB cartoon show. While I've never worked with Mr. Owens, I've had the good fortune to work with the current Space Ghost, Mr. George Lowe. George is a big fan of Gary. A few months ago, I had a chance to shoot a TV commercial with Adam West and Julie Newmar. It's kind of cool to walk around with Batman, Catwoman, and Space Ghost all in your cell phone contacts list. :-) Gary was very talented, and will be missed by several generations of fans. Somewhere out there on the Ghost Planet, I hope he's hosting a really swinging party.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-17
Trouble with SDRs Gary is that you're never sure how much 'fun' you've had 'til later on. Yes, Bill, I'm aware of the delayed gratification aspect of SDR-DXing :-) The overall TP-DXing results are far more diverse, but the excitement of live DXing on an ocean cliff during a limited sunrise enhancement is tough to beat (for a fanatic that is totally hooked like me, that is).

Re: [IRCA] 1560 NYC off
And according to Earl Higgins, KCJJ in Iowa City (which was on 1560 with 1 kw back in the day) was required to SIGN OFF COMPLETELY at Iowa City sunset to protect KPMC and then allowed to sign back on at Bakersfield sunset! Is that true? I asked KCJJ's current owner (someone who wasn't even involved with the station until 1994) about that, and he says that was never the case. But, then again, his knowledge of station history is a bit foggy. He keeps denying that they signed off 1560 for good on October 13, 1998 with the Beatles' The End, when I KNOW that they did, because I recorded the darn thing. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska From: wb6...@gmail.com Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:45:43 -0800 To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] [mwdx] 1560 NYC off Quite a few stations west of WQEW are daytimers with critical hours authority.

However, I have been having a lot of problems with images this season, so who knows what I am actually hearing? Just noted Radio Nacional de Venezuela at 2135. Nothing listed. Some sort of image from Cuban shortwave, since they sometimes run the Venezuelan program? Might be what I'm hearing on 6010.

Re: [IRCA] [mwdx] 1560 NYC off
The FCC history cards say KNZR was first licensed as experimental W6XAI on February 12, 1935 then changed to KPMC in November of 1936. W6XAI experimented with wide band high fidelity transmissions. As for WQEW I will defer to my friend Scott Fybush. I couldn't find the history cards where I usually find them in the FCC database.

Re: [IRCA] 1560 NYC off
It has PSSA in February from 6:00 to 8:00; 32 watts dropping to 25 watts. That must be it. It has PSSA for two hours every month; 41 watts dropping to 26 watts in April, May, June and September and 32 watts dropping to 25 watts the other months. I never see any discussion of PSRA and PSSA in all of the talk about cheaters. I have seen discussions regarding the accuracy of the PSRA and PSSA charts in the FCC database. Several smart people and some research suggest that the charts were issued in late February of 2007 and recalled a week or so later. Does anyone want to tackle that topic?

I first watched the old crew on Stan Chambers, Larry McCormick, and Hal Fishman (anchor) back in the 70s, when Bob and I went to LA. We interviewed a lot of old celebrities. Then 1985 when I got my big dish, KTLA ran a feed of their 10 PM News nightly. Then in 1986 we got the first Super Station package which included KTLA. I still have the Super Station pack on Dish today. A new crew now, but the news dept is named after Hal Fishman who died of cancer in 2007. He was there for 30+ years.

Re: [IRCA] [mwdx] 1560 NYC off
WQXR became WQEW on Dec. 2, 1992 and the standards format lasted until the end of 1998. ABC Disney entered into an eight year local marketing agreement (LMA where Radio Disney would be put on that 50,000 watt signal and the Times would handle the license, the log requirements and make sure the programming was heard. This continued until Disney took over running the facility in 2007. They paid $40 million to purchase that signal. Obviously today, that station isn't worth that much. I think the price Family Radio paid to buy WQEW was $12 million.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-17
Hello All, Bill must have had quite a lot of fun at Grayland this morning as Asian propagation improved dramatically, producing the best signals of the new year here for 594, 693, 747, 774, 972 and 1134 (KBS). Although the session here was only from 1430-1515, it was obvious that Asian signals were well above average for the middle of winter. 594-JOAK was setting the pace as the strongest TP at my 1430 start time, with very good signals in and out all session long. Around 1440 the Japanese big guns on 693, 747, 774 and 828 seemed to hit their peak strength, with all of them having good audio peaks through the splatter. 972-HLCA and 1134-KBS also were pretty vibrant around the same time, with 972-HLCA managing its best signals of the new year (very good) with male-female Korean conversation at 1455. Besides these big guns 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang were both in and out at a fair level during this short sunrise enhancement boost, although nothing more exotic seemed to be showing up on the low band. The high band seemed to be somewhat overlooked in the propagation bonanza with only fair peaks in and out from 1566-HLAZ around 1500, with the other high band regulars on 1503, 1575 and 1593 missing in action. As yesterday the sunrise enhancement boost proved to be of short duration, with most of the Asians packing it in by 1515. Despite the short session the NHK big guns and 972-HLCA sounded very vibrant here during sunrise enhancement, and I'm sure that Bill W. was able to record several far more potent (and exotic) Asian signals than those that showed up here at this mediocre location. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Interval music and Japanese female speech at very good level around 1440; best signals of the new year so far http://www.mediafire.com/listen/0ptqh5dl4po4fzm/594-JOAK-1440z021715CCSW.MP3 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.

Besides these big guns 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang were both in and out at a fair level during this short sunrise enhancement boost, although nothing more exotic seemed to be showing up on the low band. The high band seemed to be somewhat overlooked in the propagation bonanza with only fair peaks in and out from 1566-HLAZ around 1500, with the other high band regulars on 1503, 1575 and 1593 missing in action. As yesterday the sunrise enhancement boost proved to be of short duration, with most of the Asians packing it i n by 1515. Despite the short session the NHK big guns and 972-HLCA sounded very vibrant here during sunrise enhancement, and I'm sure that Bill W. was able to record several far more potent (and exotic) Asian signals than those that showed up here at this mediocre location. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Interval music and Japanese female speech at very good level around 1440; best signals of the new year so far http://www.mediafire.com/listen/0ptqh5dl4po4fzm/594-JOAK-1440z021715CCSW.MP3 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.

I didn't catch SNL 40th anniversary show except for clips on YouTube. I wonder if they did any kind of tribute to their long time announcer Don Pardo?
