[IRCA] report from Puerto Rico

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
Puerto Rico bandscan from Ivan Cholakov (Medium Wave Circle Facebook group). 
Lack of South American signals is interesting, less from there than from here 
on the Cape. No TA's. 680 WAPA must have been off to let WRKO get through. 680 
is usually WPTF/WRKO/WAPA/HJ jumble-mess on the Dominican Republic SDR.

"Scanning the medium wave band from a shipboard location near San Juan, Puerto 
Rico at 11 PM local time. Signals from as far west as Dallas and as far North 
as Boston. SDRPlay with handheld W6LVP portable loop."

[IRCA] KMTI 650 Manti UT

[Joseph Miller]

This brings back pleasant memories...

Hearing on 650 ABC News at the start of the hour, a fade, some country
music, another fade. First thought was KSTI Rancho Cordova, but they are
Westwood One, but the country music makes it KMTI.

It's been almost 12 years since they had their DX test, and I heard them in
Michigan. Nice to log them here too.

Is Les Rayburn N1LF still active?

[IRCA] 1480khz Asian.. vietnamese?

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I'm in Laramie, Wyoming and hearing a station on 1480khz that sounds
like it's broadcasting vietnamese.

KVNR is listed as vietnamese and I found a website for them, but I
cant say their stream matches what i'm hearing.

Siga Broadcasting owns KLVL 1480 which leases time to various entities
and they've done various ethnic formats on some of their stations. One
website says KLVL is urban, one says oldies and I ran across someone
who says it's spanish christian.

I'm kinda stumped here. Any ideas?

Paul

[IRCA] TP 25 Jan Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Continuing poor conditions.  NHK2 again off at 1440UT, with JOUB-774 managing a 
bit of the anthem before subsiding beneath the waves.



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 with splash or noise):


no




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

and still 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 man talking, DU English intonation 1502UT

891 man, DU English? another on phone, 1514UT

972 woman talking, possible Korean 1511UT

1017 pop vocal music 1517UT, Tonga likely?

1566 choral music 1523UT, likely HLAZ





Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)
 774 828 seemed to be Asian; 
738 855 1098 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] [nrc-am] Re: Where are they now?

[Russ Edmunds]

Al Merriman attended the Kulpsville NRC convention in 2005. He also attended 
one or two of the NASWA Winterfests in that time period. As of 2005, he was 
pulling around a trailer which we was living in, and was moving around a lot.


I recall seeing a notice of Ray Moore's passing some time back.


Richard Eckman had lost interest in DX'ing, I believe while he was still in 
college.


I can't provide any info on Elliot Strauss.

Subject: [nrc-am] Re: [IRCA] Where are they now?

Thanks to those who replied to my recent question of the whereabouts of 
formerly active DXers Al Merriman (K4GLU) and Ray Moore.

I don't recall that Ray Moore had any connection to Key West. He was in Fort 
Myers, as Nick mentioned. Among other things, he designed the RSM-105 passive 
loop - a good performer especially in urban situations where high-Q unamplified 
loops offer the most payback, well at least before every living quarter became 
an RFI den of iniquity with switching supplies, cable boxes, and noisy 
"efficient" light fixtures. At his FL QTH, Ray had some longpath success with 
east Asia / Australia via South Pole / South America.

Al Merriman moved from the DC area to Chincoteague Island and had a start-up 
year with loggings in the same league as what New England DXers, 400 miles 
closer to Europe on the same track, were reporting. And then he disappeared 
from the "radar". That's got to be at least 15 years ago. Pre-Facebook-era by 
my reckoning. At least, per FCC info via Bruce Portzer, he's still on the 
"right side of the grass" and living in Madison, South Dakota. Likely not much 
TA DX for him anymore but maybe a few TP's.

Another formerly active DXer name that popped into my head is Elliot Strauss of 
NJ. Maybe someone knows something about him.

Another DXer of the past, Richard Eckman, is on Facebook and seems to be in the 
Far East a lot on business. It would appear that his case is one of too many 
other things to do. People like that sometimes do get back to the hobby when 
retirement comes along.

All the above used to spin out some great log reports.

I'll take this opportunity to say hi to Chris Black, formerly active not much 
more than a mile from here. He was moving out of the neighborhood about the 
time I was moving in. Good luck and DX out west Chris.

[IRCA] Wolfman Jack affiliates

[Forrester S]

Perhaps someone can help me. Wolfman Jack was on over 2000 stations with a
few still carrying him. Does anyone happen to have a list of those
stations? Specifically I'm looking for what station in the Waterloo IA
radio market had him if they ever did.

 Good report Bill. Lots of similarity to receptions here on Cape Cod. Above 
1220 you are getting more FL, GA, SC, and NC. Barbados 900 and Dom. Rep. 670 
have been heard here but not in a long time (>5 years?). 

The more reports we can get from East Coast US & Canada the better.

    While on furlough I visited Waters Edge, near Fleeton, VA for a few days 
about a week ago. Waters Edge is right on the Chesapeake Bay and usually has 
good reception up and down the east coast of the U.S.

Depending on how one points the DKAZ antenna that I normally use, stations from 
New Brunswick to Brazil can be heard … as well as some TAs.

Highlights this trip were Barbados on 900kHz, Panama on 860kHz, Voice of Nevis 
& St. Kitts also on 860kHz and a new Dominican station for me, Radio Dial, on 
670kHz.

I’m still reviewing Perseus wav files but you can see/hear what I've heard so 
far on this webpage:

http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_we8.php

Oh yea, the antenna used was a 160’ DKAZ aimed at 130 deg.
