[IRCA] TP 8 Jun Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Quite a lot of most likely New Zealand carriers, several near audio, 
with a couple of brief actual audios.



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


no




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


no




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



and no



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)


612 4QR pop music faded up 1157UT, ABC fanfare and intonation for 
"ABC news" by man at 1200UT

1107 woman talking, DU English seemed likely, and had the sound of news, 1201UT



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


nothing seemed to be Asian;
675 702 756 828 882 891  909 963 1017 1035 1098 1116 1386 1503 seemed to be DU



best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] Kiwa still doing receiver mods?

[Guy Atkins]

Hi Walt,

I've been emailing Craig back and forth recently, but sometimes it's a week
or two until I hear back from him. He's been going through some rehab from
a medical issue that requires him to make numerous visits to the Mayo
Clinic (where his wife works). Craig's doing well, but between his
significant commercial & government contracts and the time that his rehab
takes, he is spread very thin. I'm sure he'll get back to you eventually.

Craig has at least two Kiwa sites now. The original one for hobbyists is
still offering the SW1 capacitor upgrade:  http://kiwa.com/SW1.html   The
kiwa-electronics.com site is the one primarily for low pass, high pass, and
bandpass filters. I think he mentioned a 3rd site in the works which would
be for other customers.

73,

Guy Atkins
Puyallup, WA

[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, May 5-June 8, 2017

[over 222,000 views! as of June 8, 2017]

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only 
or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan 
stock caradio as specified; ICR-75  E-W longwire

Note: it seems I have had no Mexican MWDX (FM is another matter) since May 4 
--- sunrises are just too early this time of year for SRS DX --- got to sleep 
sometime. But I want to keep this thread going, at least with a sort of 
non-domestic item about a non-heard station!

** ALASKA [non]. 89.3, June 5 at 1910 UT I happen to tune nearby KIEL Loyal OK, 
as Ron Myers is talking about the ``Mission Alaska`` project of Radio 74 
Internationale, trying to raise money. I only hear the last part of it: To put 
a 50 kW AM station on the air before the CP expires next January. Needs to get 
work done on the antenna site this summer before everything freezes; but still 
raising funds of $150K to purchase the land. See http://www.radio74.net so I 
research further:

It`s for 50 kW on 1200 kHz from Chugiak AK. More about it here:
https://www.radio74.net/alaska-project-brochure
which talks about this to bring Adventist/3ABN programming to Alaska.
As if Alaskans have no gospel huxters on radio already.

Yet this page, https://www.radio74.net/about-us
says ``RADIO 74 INTERNATIONALE is an independent Christian ministry and is not 
sponsored, regulated or controlled by any denomination or religious 
organization.`` {My impression is that KIEL is really predominantly or nothing 
but 7DA, e.g. `Your Story Hour` until 1629 UT June 7}

More, if it will ever load:
https://www.radio74.net/blog

NRC AM Log shows 1200 as ``K#8 Chugiak AK U1 5/9600 new not on air ``. FCC 
AM Query says licensee is Steve King, and there was correspondence about this 
dating back to May of 2010. Is 74 trying to acquire the CP from King, or is he 
the front for 74 all along? 

Where is Chugiak? 32 km NE of downtown Anchorage per Wikipedia. On a US map 
including Okie station, own website also shows they have two other stations in 
Alaska. The affiliate list can be found under the LISTEN drop-down, which is 
not a link to webcasts. The AK stations are on FM in Juneau and North Pole

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, May 26-June 8, 2017

All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during EDT; when 
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 UT period 
to the previous date by ELT].

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of 
USA [if any], unidentified [if any], separated by === Within each, they are 
in frequency order

** U S A. 1630 kHz, June 3 at 0610 UT, open carrier/dead air from KKGM TX, atop 
KCJJ Iowa City, ``The Mighty 1630`` ID by the latter at 0614 UT. Checking since 
Mark Sills, Dallas, informed me June 2 at 1603 UT that his 1630 station had 
been putting out a ``loud roar for a couple of days with feedback``. He tried 
calling them, but no answer or disconnected. At 1609 UT he followed up, that he 
had reached someone at a sibling station who said it was the phone company`s 
fault, as they were unable to contact the transmitter to turn it off. I say, 
you`d think that after a few days, they should have managed to physically enter 
the transmitter site if that was the only way to control it! 

1630, June 4 at 0611 UT, KKGM Fort Worth TX (street address in Dallas; QSL 
address in Lexington KY per NRC AM Log), is still diffusing dead air, atop KCJJ 
Iowa making a SAH of about 7 Hz with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1881, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

1630, June 8 at 0608 UT check, gospel music, presumed KKGM TX back in whack 
after days of dead air, still with SAH of about 7 Hz from KCJJ (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[Mostly FM DX this biweek, and `Mostly Mexican` is really something heard on FM 
about a new 50 kW AM station in Alaska, which you might consider domestic]

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

[R. Colin Newell]

Burnaby Radio on East Hastings in Vancouver - https://www.burnabyradio.com

Is a radio listener, scanner, Ham radio operators sweet dream with racks of
gear, hand helds brochures, antennas and
an active HAM station in the showroom area.

I brought back some Canadian color bandplan charts if any of the local ham
guys need one.

Do any other cities have such a collection?Surely a sociological 
paper must be in the offing to explain why such a concentration of 
geekishness?   These outfits have an online presence, but actual 
storefronts as well are still being maintained.


I guess there's two elements to the Radio Shack nostalgia.   Parts, 
yes (and apparently we still have those), but stores with actual radiosno.


best wishes,

Nick
