Re: [IRCA] 1390 Salem Oregon
--- Begin Message --- Phil, I tuned in KZGD 1390 at 11:00 AM today. TOH there was 10 seconds of dead air followed by music. Commercials in Spanish. Salem, ORheard with commercials.

According to the IRCA contest rules, I need to hear a call letter ID to count it. So for the last several tries at 6 PM local, I have heard the Spanish music stop and then 5-10 seconds of dead air... which is where I assume the English ID is supposed to be... then Spanish and another song happens. So, is there anyone out there near Salem Oregon that can verify that they don't ID at 6 PM?? Then again, perhaps they ID at a different time Any ideas??

Re: [IRCA] 800 kHz in the Pacific Northwest
--- Begin Message --- Walt, KPDQ Portland, OR & CKOR BC are the only stations that I have heard the past few nights. Best regards, Dennis Vroom, Kalama, WA From: Volodya S To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2018 8:05 PM Subject: [IRCA] 800 kHz in the Pacific Northwest I was hoping to hear the new super power (450 kW), TWR from Bonaire, but so far have heard on 800 kHz only 2 stations: Usually I'm hearing CKOR 'EZ Rock" out of Penticton, BC with listed 10 kW Day, and 500 watts night (when I'm listening). At times, CHAB from Moose Jaw, SK with listed 10,000 watts dominates with some pretty religious sounding music. Nice IDs, too. Has anyone in this neck of the woods heard TWR? I thought it might be a fairly easy target with that power. 73,...Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC ___ 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 --- End Message --- ___ 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

Things sounded very dull, and I very nearly went back to bed. That would have been a big mistake as it turned out. In general things continued to sound dull, with the Asians (other than HLAZ) vanishing after their 1 morning visit, and the recently regular DU signals not doing much either. A strong carrier on 1296 was unusual, so I stayed there through 1300, and thought perhaps I'd heard traces of the ABC news fanfare (not knowing what that meant at the time), but it was at imagination level, so I didn't think much of it. A bit later on I got more audio on 1296. Sounded like a BBC program at first, so was thinking 4RPH, which would have been a new catch for me. Didn't match the website though, and after a bit I realized it was an ABC pgm, and matched up with the RN sked for Western Australia. After that it was easy to match up my recording with the podcast. Once I'd pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming it sank it that I'd finally heard my first station from Western Australia, and the most distant station I've ever logged. (Checked later, and it's 15,700 km) Just proves once again that you never know what is going to show up on any given day. Today's audio: 612 4QR Brisbane, QLD, AUSTRALIA Assumed the one in weakly under IBOC noise with woman talking at 1316. 1116 4BC Brisbane, QLD, AUSTRALIA Just traces of man talking at 1313. 1296 6RN Wagin, WA, AUSTRALIA Heard man and woman talking at 1313, with short segments of opera music.
