[IRCA] Misc MW info and Football

[MARTIN FOLTZ]

My wife and I were in Sequoia a week and a half ago and I was able to listen to 
some AM stations including this possible slogan change.

1370 KGEN Tulare CA using La Ley slogan and announcing 94.5 FM.

And a local format change.

900 KALI West Covina CA heard last night in Chinese with ToH ID for Radio 
Chinese 1300/1600. Wonder if this is a filler before a format change or an 
actual change.

Local football.

100.3 KSWD The Sound is the Los Angeles Rams station.

640 KFI is the Los Angeles Chargers station.

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 8-9

[d1028gary]

The ninth and final session of the Rockwork 4 DXpedition (yesterday morning) 
featured more exciting DU propagation, with another monster signal from 
558-Fiji, a new Oz 558 co-channel with a rock format, the best signal ever from 
the 1 kW 936-Chinese Voice and the first FSL logging of the 2 kW 927-Newstalk 
ZB. 

The ocean cliff session opened in the predawn darkness at 1150 with the 
unpleasant sight of a huge RV parked in my usual antenna setup spot. After 
setting up FSL's in the north end of the turnoff I made my final DXpedition 
attempt to received Longwave NDB's from the South Pacific, which were again 
comatose. 531 was full of signals, though, with PI and a presumed 2PM fighting 
it out at decent levels. The rejuvenated 558-Fiji started making serious waves 
around 1247 but was troubled by an UnID Australian rock station,,which managed 
to force it off the frequency at times from 1259-1304. Fiji recovered in fine 
form, through, finishing up with its island choral music at a huge level by 
1329. 

Since this was the last day of the DXpedition a deliberate effort was made to 
go after unheard but marginal DU stations, resulting in a fair to good logging 
of 846-2RN around 1255, a new logging of a modest-level 927-Newstalk ZB (with 
an Oz music-format co-channel) at 1306, fair-level 963-Star //657 at 1319, 
738-2NR //774 at 1328 (but sliced up by SF splatter), 855-Oz //774 at 1311 (but 
sliced up by Tacoma splatter) and in one of the most convoluted, back-and-forth 
parallel checks in ocean cliff history, 837-RNZ //756 at 1345 (which, oddly 
enough, was the only RNZ parallel audible at that extremely late time, even 
though the 50 kW Portland mega-pest 750-KXTG is only 70 miles and 6 kHz away). 
As if to prove the point, I made an recording of 756-RNZ all by itself at 1338, 
during which the solid rock cliff shut down the Portland splatter to a 
negligible degree, providing very solid reception of the last surviving Kiwi 
signal of the session. Wow! 

Overall this August 2017 DXpedition has been far and away the most productive 
Rockwork 4 trip ever, with two Western Australians (531-6DL and 558-6WA) 
received at decent levels, five stations received on 531 kHz alone (PI, More 
FM, 2PM, 4KZ and 6DL), 558-Fiji completely restored and reaching S9 levels, an 
S9 recording of 585-2WEB (confirmed by David Sharp), the best-ever signals from 
the Kiwis on 531 (More FM), 603, 657, 765, 936 and 1503, monster signals from 
585-7RN and 639-5CK, multiple receptions of 1017-Tonga, etc. Even when we 
needed to dodge the "sleeping squatters" it was a lot of fun to share the cliff 
with my DXpedition partners Tom and Chuck, especially during the phenomenal 
August 4th session (when Tom and I both made out like bandits). I'm sure that 
both of us will remember that wild and wacky session for years to come!

Re: [IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

[Aaron Kreider]

WTEL 610 Philadelphia was overmodulating by 200-300% for a good year or 
two before they finally fixed it.  I complained - never got any 
response.  Using 110+ khz bandwidth on peaks.


Now they finally stopped and stopped using IBOC so I'm very happy.

I'm guessing lots of automated stations make mistakes all the time.  
What they need is an automatic error checking system (ex. if your audio 
modulation is below 10% for more than 2 minutes or if your frequency 
drifts by more than 100 hz, it could trigger a text message).   Though 
from my experience as a software developer, even with error checking it 
is hard to maintain 100% up time.

Re: [IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

[Rick Lewis]

Paul,
Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One winter, the
weekend afternoon jock forgot to change to our directional pattern, and the
six-to-midnight jock neglected to either check it or change it.
I wasn't on duty yet, but I answered the phone while a taped public-service
program was running, and it was a listener who was very glad to be receiving
our station at night for a change. I apologized for what I had to do, but
thanked him for calling, and immediately made the appropriate pattern
change.
You're right. As much fun as the DXing hobby is, broadcast violations can
have serious consequences.
In this instance, I thought that DXers had gotten a 7-hour chance to hear
the station, which was a bonus for them. And I'd have liked that if I'd
benefited from it. But once I knew about it, I would be complicit if I
didn't make sure it stopped right away.
Regarding station monitoring, I don't understand people who care so little
about stations they're involved with that they don't check on things.
I was always grateful for informative listeners, and if the information was
false, no harm done. At least the listener cared enough to call. And, often
unlike today, someone at the station cared enough to answer that call.
Good for you for giving a damn. Not enough people do.

Rick

Speaking as a DX'er and a broadcaster of 14 years...

I've had listeners call me and tell me one of my stations had a problem.
For instance, I answered the phone at WKBI/WDDH once and had a listener
tell me "The music on classy 1400 is playing under the news" I said
"thanks, let me run and look what happened" hung up and fixed it.

If I know a station is automated/unattended, I would check on it several
times a day while in the building, and at least once or twice at home,
usually right before bed. I also check over the weekend when not in the
office.

BUT, and this is a BIG BUTT.. that is just what *I* do. It is not meant to
be a reflection on other broadcasters, my OCD doesn't allow me not to deal
with things like this. I've NEVER EVER knowingly had a problem occur with a
station I was in charge of for more then 6 hours. In most cases, it was
fixed in an hour or less.. if not mere minutes.

As a DX'er, I have regularly called up or emailed stations when something
has gone wonky.   When living in Connecticut,  the local AM was dead air
when it should've had talk programming going. I called up the sister
country station down the hall and said "Uhh, your AM across the hall is
dead air"  Jock: "Thanks, i'll go check" clickThat was said in the
hurried, let me go fix it fashion, not rudeness

I emailed a station just this week after noticing them on well past sunset
3 days in the last week. Owner replied and thanked me for alerting him to
the problem.

When a chief engineer friend of mine had his 10KW Day/3 tower, 1kw night/6
tower station get stuck on day power and pattern well after dark I called
him up right away to let him know, so he could log in from home and fix it.

What I do find ironic, or rather interesting.. is if a station is cheating
wether on purpose or on accident for a few days, many DX'ers are known to
look the other day if it's a much needed item in the log books. However,
once it becomes a pest, they want to burn that station at the stake

You can't have it both ways.

I am a broadcaster first and foremost, it pays my bills. My responsibility
is to protect the license and reputation of the stations I work for, and to
a much smaller extent, the licenses of the stations that some of my best
friends work for. You won't be able to convince me otherwise, rea;lly

I agree with both of you. Not everybody - in any field - is going to go the 
extra mile for their employer. Some people are there just for the check. I've 
unfortunately worked with some of those. The main reason I opted out of 
management  15 years ago was that only maybe half of the people who worked for 
me cared enough to do their best on a regular basis.


And of course again in any field you'll find people like the one who questioned 
the call.

[IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

[amdxer]

About a week ago I noticed that WCPT 820 had a horrible
echo effect in their audio.  I don't know when it started
as I don't check this frequency that often.  This echo
went on for a few more days until I finally notified the
station by e-mail.

And, a day and a half later their audio problem is corrected.

The question I have is;  Don't station owners, and staff,
check their night signal every day?  All it would take is
a few minutes to tune in and if everything is fine tune
out.

Why do they wait for some listener to complain before
checking their own signal?

Over the past 25 years, at least once a year, I have
contacted a station somewhere in the mid-west about a
problem with their signal.

And I have gotten mixed feedback.  One local station,
after a phone call (before e-mail existed), actually
thanked me for calling.  Another station when called
actually told me in so many words to mind my own business.
 The guy said "Who the hell are you to tell me that WE
have a problem!"

[IRCA] 1710 QSL

[James Renfrew]

I sent a report to the 1710 Springfield Armory on its web its comment
section and received a confirmation just now by e-mail.  Response from
Alexander MacKenzie, Curator.  Just about the shortest QSL I've ever had:
 "Yes!  You got us - that's our radio broadcast."

I did verify WLIB back in the 1960s, I got my letter back stamped with
"verified".  So that one's the shortest.

The least amount of effort for a QSL was receiving one from that Brooklyn
pirate that was active many years back, on 1610 I think it was.  I reported
reception on the NRC list and received an unsolicited QSL!  Somehow they
knew my address.

[IRCA] WKBA 1550

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

2 or 3 nights in the last week I heard WKBA 1550 Vinton VA on well after
sunset, pretty close to 11pm or so each night.  The english preaching is
real easy to pick out of the mush with french CBEF 1550 Windsor, Ontario.

I sent an email to the station and below is my email to them and their
response. I guess a power outage and remote transmitter control went stupid
:)

To: "Paul B. Walker, Jr." 


Hello Mr. Walker,



Yes, you heard us.  No, you weren’t supposed to because we are a daytimer.
We use a Sine Systems unit to turn the xmtr on and off.  We had a power
failure which reset the Sine Systems date and time.  I have it on a fairly
new UPS, and that unit doesn’t draw much power.  I think the power was off
about 6 hours.



I have a local lady working at the station, and she is supposed to check
the system for correct time and date, and obviously she did not do this.  I
am going to have to start doing this myself, because we are vigilant in
operating the station within our licensed parameters.



If I could run full power at night, that would make me a few bucks. J   But
that is never going to happen.  I had a consulting engineer study the
situation, and there is no way we can get any power at night.  We did file
for translator in the recent window, so I am hoping we don’t have to go to
auction over that.



I do thank you for the email, you did save me from some trouble.



Larry Cobb

Greetings,



I am writing to you from Warren, Pennsylvania (We're 90 minutes eats of
Erie and 20-25 minutes south of Jamestown, New York)



I'm writing because I've picked up your radio station three times in the
last week.  Normally at my location, I hear CBEF 1550 Windsor
Ontario/Detroit, Michigan broadcasting in French.



I was excited to hear a new station... and the first time I heard it, I
quickly heard a "The Ministry Station", so I googled that, found your
website and look up some technical stuff on your station.



It would appear that WKBA is a 10,000 watt daytime only sunrise to sunset
station, correct? Each of the times I've heard WKBA, it was well after
sunset, in fact nearly 11pm or so each time.



Is there a malfunction that's caused WKBA to not sign off at sunset or do
you have some miniscule night time power?

I am not criticizing, just asking.. because I've worked for AM radio
stations whos remote control malfunctioned and would occasionally not shut
the transmitter off.



Warmest Regards,

Paul walker

Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Confirms S9 Reception

[d1028gary]

Thanks Patrick, 

We hope you can get back into Pacific DXing, now that your antennas are being 
repaired. 

Actually the first time I heard 585-2WEB was on the beach at Seaside in July of 
2010, using a 3' portable box loop and PL-380. That signal was pretty strong 
for the basic equipment (once in a while you get lucky). Program Director David 
Sharp send me an unsolicited e-QSL after listening to my MP3 on the Ultralight 
list, and matching the song in his log.

[IRCA] TP 9 Aug Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

In contrast to Gary's experiences at Rockwork 4, this morning's 
experience in Victoria was almost exclusively Asian, and the best so 
far this season, with a couple of Chinese for certain, and hints of 
several others among the many carriers



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


1566 HLAZ man in Chinese on phone, talking to woman in studio who 
couldn't get a word in edgewise 1114UT, only briefly this strong however.




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


774 JOUB English lessons 1218UT
972 HLCA man in Korean 1221UT



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


1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1145 and 1153UT
1323 CRI pop vocal 1151UT; at 1159UT it was weaker, but familiar 
stringed music before the hour was recognizable




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)


747 JOIB man talking 1205UT //774
828 JOBB woman talking 1102UT //774
1593 CNR1  portentous stringed music 1201UT, one of CNR1's 
themes;  man and woman talking 1202UT, Chinese inflection



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


594 918 945 963 1053 1089 1134 1143 1179 1188  1206 1215 (rough 
sounding)   1242  1251 1269 1386 1422  1575 seemed to be Asian;

  1098  1116 seemed to be DU



best wishes,

Nick
