Re: [IRCA] KGA degrade
Pat, I fully understand about opening the channel for DX, but I lament the fact that they might be doing this. There is a lot of nostalgia and history involved. It is all about money I suppose. I just hope they don't do something stupid like change the callsign. When they signed on in 1927, they were KGA. Only a handful of stations which are on the air can say they have had the same call from the beginning longer than KGA. Just curious, how well do you hear CA on 1510 at Sunset and Sunrise? They used to be good in Utah. Bill History of Spokane Radio http://spokane.philcobill.com Patrick Martin wrote: Powell, I did not know going from an A to a B you would not get 10 KW or more at night.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] KGA downgrade?
This is a sad day actually. Historically, KGA touted its 50 kw signal and its wide coverage area. They bragged about having a reliable signal at night within 300 miles and many listeners beyond. Back in the late '60's when they were a rock and roll station for about a year, they intentionally targeted listeners throughout the west coast and had regular listeners as far away as Southern California (including San Diego if my memory serves me. Bill Harms http://spokane.philcobill.com Home of the Spokane Radio History Web Pages. Scott Fybush wrote: They haven't filed for anything just yet, and probably won't until the sale to Mapleton closes. The biggest change will be a downgrade from Class A to Class B. That will take away the skywave protection 1510 enjoys now, and allow the Oakland (Piedmont) 1510 to add more significant night service. KGA will probably end up with a night pattern similar to that of sister station KJRB 790, at the same site - a narrow beam aimed north into Spokane from their shared site way south of the city. But here's the kicker - when KGA downgrades to class B, that opens up the channel for other stations on 1510, like KFNN and the Utah station, to upgrade at night, too...so 1510 will get a lot more crowded domestically in the west, too. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] DX logging: WPSF938-1620, Hampstead, N. Carolina
Charlie: Actually, I have heard both WPQE514 Ashland and WPQE514 Chester based on program content. I happened to drive by Richmond last September and paid particular attention to the differences in their content. When I got back home, both of the these transmitters were audible. I believe at the time, the Ashland TIS was playing something about North Richmond, the Richmond Speedway, and a couple of other things that were unique. the Chester TIS has some unique program material of its own too. That is how I ID them. I heard them fading in and out of each other. I have about 3 hours worth of barely readable audio in a couple of mp3 files that you are welcome to listen to.

I guess I am thinking more in terms of understanding the full impact of what nighttime operation of IBOC would be like.

May I disagree with you and Pat? The fact remains that there are people in the world who are not convinced until they actually see or hear something. Since IBOC has not been tried at night except for a few rare instances and at sunset and sunrise, we have not seen exactly what will happen when all stations light up with IBOC at night. I am sure that when that happens, some people will then realize the monster that has been created.

Patrick, I disagree. I have been doing family genealogy since the late 60's -- probably about the time that I began to DX. In genealogy, it is usually easy to locate an ancestor's date of birth and death, or at least the years, place of birth/death, etc. Marriage dates, names of the spouse and children can be located, but that tells us very little. For a moment, think about a parent, grandparent, sibling or other relative you know. Forget the dates, locations and the like, but describe the person so someone who never met the person can better understand the person: hobbies, likes, dislikes, the serious side, the funny side, military service experiences, etc. On March 4th, a well-known DXer had a birthday - I oopsed by not mentioning it. Still, that's about the only personal thing I know about the DXer. Another well known DXer has a fascination with electrical sub-stations, and once worked on Bermuda. This oldster's birthday is in May, and boy is he old...well, he's older than me. Although he says little in person, his written word frequents these pages. Who is a long-time DXer, also well-known, that collects penguins? Here's a real tough one: who was a DXer, worked for a phone company and was known to walk around his neighborhood (or elsewhere) and hit power poles (the wooden type) with a baseball bat?

[IRCA] 1540 clip parallel to 91.9
I am going over my clips of 1540 while KXEL and found this. I thought it might be CHIN, WDCD, or even WNWR, but went to their sites and could find nothing about Go with the flow on their schedules.

Re: [IRCA] recorded the iboc
Scott, on the other hand, I clearly heard an annoying sound under WTWP/WTOP on my car radio (in a 2004 Dodge Stratus). I spoke with other people who also heard it on their car radios. My kids told me to turn it off because it was so annoying. We concluded it sounded a bit like the 17-year old cicadas that came old a couple of years ago. It is my understanding it had to do with bandwidth issues and asymmetry involved with directional antennas. That is a serious issue for certain stations, something that is not easily dismissed.

That said, I don't notice any noise from cable with my outdoor antennas.

It is a matter of ground conductivity. The US FCC ground conductivity charts show this in clear detail. I saw a breakout once that a 250w station on 540 covers about as well as a 50kw station at 1600. In practice, it is very noticeable. For example, one of my clients is WDDZ-550 in Providence. At 1kw non-directional, they are good for about a 50 or more mile radius. Another client is WXBR-1460 which is 5kw non-directional. WDDZ-550 covers significantly better.

On my West EWE, no nulling with the phaser necessary. This is more than good conditions, I believe their antenna pattern is out of whack for some reason.

Re: [IRCA] Antenna question
Jim: This is an easy one and I am sure there will be a flood of answers from other DXers. Many DXers use impedence transformers to connect their antennas to coax. You can see them sometimes marketed as a balun. I have wound so many coils I can almost do it in my sleep. Not only does this help to electronically match your antenna to the coax, but it also electricallly isolates the antenna from the coax and at the same time prevents common-mode noise from going back to the radio through the coax. Rather than re-write here what others have written about the subject elsewhere, I offer this URL a place to start. We can also talk about it on #mwdx. http://www.dxing.info/equipment/impedance_transformer_bryant.doc Bill Harms On 14 Jan 2007 at 14:20, Jim Pogue wrote: OK, this is probably going to sound like a dumb question to a lot of you, but I've never been one to shy away from asking dumb questions when I don't know the answer. Background: I am planning to put up a new external long wire about 50 feet in length. In the past I have always fed long wires with just another length of insulated wire, but this time I plan to feed the signal to my Quantum Phaser with RG-58 or similar coax. The question: When I attach the feedline at the end of the long wire, I will solder the coax center wire to the antenna wire. But what does one do with the braid or shield at the same location adjacent to the antenna wire? Should it be attached to anything, sealed over with black electrician's tape, or what? If I was putting up a dipole the answer would be easy, but I've never fed a long wire with coax before. Thanks for your help folks - hopefully I'm never too old to learn.
