SW here when I was about 12 years old.  Then a little MW but also a lot of 
police radio listening.  By my 20's I moved on to other things (women, beer, 
music, etc).  It wasn't until my early 40s that I really got back into the 
hobbyand it was SW again that started it off.

It seems that 1510 WMEX Boston went silent at 2200 GMT on 30th June. I 
listened to the last 75 minutes of the broadcast via the web stream. The 
last show was “Renegade Radio” presented by John Pica and Bryan Berner – 
normally on from 6-10am, the show had a special edition from 3-6pm (EDT) 
to mark the end of broadcasting. The show mentioned the silence was due 
to “the last day of the current station ownership”. The WMEX radio 
stream will become a Renegade Radio stream, and after 2200, the 
station’s web stream put out Renegade Radio highlights. There was no 
announcement – the programme just ended and was followed by a few 
minutes’ silence before the highlights show started.





Towards the end of June evening talk programmes had been replaced with 
oldies music.




Wikipedia reports that the station lost its transmitter site, but the 
station audio in the final hours did not mention this and posts on 
RadioDiscussions.com indicates that a transmitter site is still 
available.




The FCC web site does not show any change.

2016-11-06 Thread Keith
My point was that for recording (capturing) large amounts of bandwidth 
for FM you need something more powerful.  When I ran the Perseus on a 
netbook it worked fine for MW captures (up to the max) but suffered 
badly when trying to make FM captures.

I found that you need to have a quad core running at least 2.5 ghz or so
to avoid any stuttering issues at full bandwidth of 2 mhz for MW.   Each
setup has it's own issues (I had mine early on with both the Perseus and
ELAD) and it takes time and patience.  But that being said I'll never go
back to desktop receiver like the Drake.  In fact I'll be putting my
Drake R8A, Grundig Sat 800 and a couple of others up on EBAY soon.  I
will keep my Eton E1 which comes very very close to the Drake in
performance.

I did use a Lenovo Ideapad (can't tell you which model right now...gave
it to my son earlier this year) but now I use an MSI G72 gaming laptop
(this was a little more money LOL..around $1100).  It has a high end i7
quad core processor running Win 10.  I upgraded mainly due to the fact
that in the summer I run the ELAD for FM captures during Eskip Openings
(6 mhz capture) and the Airspy SDR (for 8 mhz captures).  Running both
at the same and recording (to external drives) has been pretty flawless.

probably most prone.   Thinking back to when I first bought the Quantum 
I was located about 5 miles south (9 miles from BZ) and the issue wasn't 
as bad there.


The other thing I've noticed is that there is a lot less of BZ above 
1200 khz.


Thanks

Please don't overlook the phasers Keith.  The Quantum is a fine phaser,
but it is not meant to be baked by RF.   I'd look at that even before
the Wellbrook amps.Years ago it was noticed that John Bryant's
Quantum on Orcas Island was yielding Vancouver, BC stations in many
nulls.they were 25 miles away, admittedly over salt water, and
pretty much qualified as his nearest locals.

If the other phasers also have active elements, I'd certainly suspect
them as well.

Nick

Re: [IRCA] DKAZ questions

2016-10-07 Thread Keith

Agreed Andy.  Looking forward to getting it soon.

To simplify my earlier post my current set up is as follows:

Receiver: ELAD SDR
Antennas: 50x100 Switched Termination Superloop running NE/SW and an ALA 
1530S+
Phasers:  I've tried 3 and all exhibit the same issue with WBZ. 
Quantum Phaser, mini DXP-mk2 and an NCC-1.
Due to the position of the superloop (basically bisecting the yard)  the 
furthest I can place the Wellbrook is about 90-100 ft from it (to the SE 
side of the yard)
When I get the new LN model I'll be able to separate that from the 
1530S+ by about 130ft.


Earlier this evening I placed my 1530 on the other side of the yard (the 
NW side) and there was actually some improvement.  Tomorrow night I'll 
try the Chris Scott Notch Filter on each line and see if that also helps 
a little more.


FM Phasing is a heck of lot easier and has spoiled me :)

"I'm about 15 miles SSE of Boston. My situation with local stations,

On MW I have WBZ and their 50kw blowtorch just to my NNE by about 4
miles but other than that I'm in good shape. I have very little noise
(my noise floor on the ELAD at 500 khz is somewhere around -115). I have
a switched termination superloop that is about 50x100 running SW/NE and
a couple of Wellbrook ALA1530's (one is the S+ while the other is a
borrowed older model). I have slightly more than 3/4 of acre so I can
separate my antennas by about 90 to 100 ft. My problem is with phasing.
No matter what configuration (altho I've yet to try the 2 Wellbrooks
together) I find it hard not hear WBZ underneath the null (phase) on a
number of frequencies. Even with a Chris Scott Associates AM tuneable
notch I have phasing issues (the notch works perfectly on BZ without the
Phaser however). In other cases if I don't hear BZ under the phase
(null) I get a nasty hum. The one section of the AM band I do have some
decent phasing luck is above 1200 khz but not always.

On FM I have WGBH with 98kw about 7 miles west of me. No problems their
except when pointing the FM antennas that way I have set the attenuation
on the ELAD.

Keith, the problem is due to the loop amp. or the Phaser being overload
with the 50kW Tx just 4 miles away. The fix for the loop overload would
be to use the ALA1530LN as this has lower 3 order IMD in the MW band.

Re: [IRCA] Question about ELAD SDR

2016-03-19 Thread Keith
I can't speak for "voice level reproduction" per se but the ELAD FDM-S2 
has become my FM dx machine.  I've used many good to great FM units 
(including a modified Yamaha T-85, Perseus FM+ and for portable use the 
Grundig Sat 700) but the ELAD is the best by far as in now the unit of 
choice for a lot of FM dxers.  In addition it's also one of the best LW, 
MW and HF units I'ver used (prior I've used a Drake R8A, numerous 
Grundigs and the Perseus SDR).

Re: [IRCA] [CapeDX] Crazy FM DX in the car today

2015-12-30 Thread Keith
It was a good opening which used to be more commonplace in December back 
in the day but not as much recently.


I was at work but let the ELAD roll for a couple of hours switching 
segments every 10-15 minutes.  I had forgot to hook up the Airspy 
again...if I had done that my captures would have been more extensive.


Per an alert from Jeff on the WTFDA FB page I jumped on it as soon as I 
could.  Early on it was short skip to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.  Later it 
shifted to GA, AL and MS.


Not sure when I'll get to review this opening.  I'm still going through 
earlier ones from the past summer. About halfway through the August 11 
skip event with about 280 stations logged so far.

Between 1 and 2 p.m. EST / 30 DEC there was quite a bit of skip DX activity on 
FM as I noted while driving in the Yarmouth / Barnstable / Sandwich, MA area.


Right away, at my house, I knew something had gone wacky when local 100.5 "Koffee" was 
replaced by a country station calling itself "Whistle 100".


This turned out to be WSSL from Greenville, SC: ' http://wsslfm.iheart.com/ '.


On 98.3, I heard HD 98.3 mentions and ' hd983.com '.  Checking that website 
shows WHHD from Augusta, GA.


Onwards to 101.5 where country music was followed by a Kicks 101.5 slogan.  
Googling that comes up with WKHX, Atlanta, GA: ' http://www.wkhx.com/ '.


99.3 produced Charlotte mentions and WBT ID, familiar enough from 1110 AM.


101.7 had mentions of "serving Georgia and Northern Florida" in an advert, then 
"here in Vidalia" - good enough to nail down WYUM in nearby Mount Vernon, GA.


102.1, coming through well despite a local on 101.9 and semi-local 102.3, declared itself 
as "102.1 Nash Icon" which turns out to be WZAT, Savannah / Tybee Island, GA: ' 
http://www.savannahnashicon.com/ '.


Another on 102.1 popped up momentarily with a "Touch 102.1" mention but no 
Google hit on that.


Over to 103.7 where a "103.7 the Q" slogan rolled over the usual RI station.  
It's WQEN, Birmingham, AL, ' http://1037theq.iheart.com/ '.


104.5 was kind of a choppy mess at first and then an advert with "in 
Hattiesburg" popped up.  WXRR is the call for that Mississippian, ' 
http://www.rock104fm.com/ '.


Only a few seconds after that came through, the skip shifted and a clear "WOKV 
Jacksonville" ID was heard.  Of course that Floridian is well known from its Mighty 
690 on the AM side.


104.9 had an advert for a law firm, "I'm Frampton Harper", phone number 
843-524-8595.  Googling that got me to Beaufort, SC.  Radio-Locator.com gives WLHH, 
Ridgeland, SC in that market.  Website ' http://www.1049thesurf.com/ '.


105.5 came through with pseudo-ID "105.5 The Dove, continuous light favorites". 
 Web search finds ' http://www.wduv.com/ ', WDUV, St. Petersburg, FL.


107.7 had "Fox 107.7" slogan and advert for Southern Alabama Gas, so WFXX, 
Andalusia, AL, ' http://www.kokosuniverse.com/radio_stations/wfxx.htm '.


What was interesting was how some channels were a blob of signals one minute 
and a sharp clear dominant a minute later.  Or vice versa.  And just because 
one station was clearly atop one moment didn't guarantee that something 
entirely different wouldn't be 'inbooming' a few minutes later on the same 
channel.


By about 2:10 p.m. EST (1910 UTC), the opening was largely over.

Weak audio here on 693 and 1089. 909 and 1215 not so much.

This season has been pretty dull here so far for both TA's and domestic 
stuff.  Even LW TA's have been poor (not too mention that I have more

I did venture up into HF today (home for the day) and the noise floor

2007-03-02 Thread keith beesley
Dear Dr. Tom, 

Enjoyed your reminiscences very much. I'm old enough
to remember when telephones were black things with
rotary dials, most TV programs were in black and
white, and most radios in peoples' homes were AM only;
and young enough to enjoy many of the modern gadgets
like email, ipods, etc. I still think plain ol'
over-the-air broadcasting is as amazing as anything
that's come along since.

BTW, I think that Portland, OR public school station
is still on the air; saw them listed on a recent list.

 Hi!
 
  
 
 The unfortunate thing about KHKE stirred up a few
 memories.
 
  
 
 Under the trivia heading, when KRNL, a 10 Watt FM-er
 came on the air in
 about 1963, I was the person that installed the
 equipment and even had done
 the FCC paper work.
 
  
 
 They had had a carrier current station before that.
 And after the FM came on
 there were little AM transmitters fed by an FM
 receiver because so few of
 the students had FM radios! That little station had
 a range of about 15
 miles.
 
  
 
 And I did the last upgrade of Coe College's carrier
 current system that they
 planned to use for just a couple or three years
 before they too went to FM
 KCOE.
 
  
 
 In 1969 the Division of Audio-Visual Instruction of
 the National Education
 Association had their convention in Portland, Oregon
 and this was my last
 Carrier current project, although I did repair the
 one at Reed College near
 Portland. 
 
  
 
 At the time I was the engineer for KBPS (Benson
 Polytechnic School). This
 was, and is, the station of the Portland, Oregon
 Public Schools. They were
 at the time 250 watts unlimited on 1450. During my
 time I filed paperwork
 with the FCC there in Portland to increase their
 power to 1 KW. The old AM
 transmitter had been built in the 30s, so I was
 told. It had marvelous
 performance and great audio and RF power to spare.
 Most reliable. I ran
 proof on it three or four times. I had to rebuild it
 over Christmas break in
 1968-1968 - no school - not on the air. That
 required an extra proof or two.
 All was well with it except the olde wires'
 insulation was crumbling and
 there were a couple of tube types that were on the
 far edge of becoming
 extinct. 
 
  
 
 UNI's station has a repeater or translator here in
 Des Moines. It is located
 t the Site of KDPS, 88.1, the Des Moines Public
 School station, on the air
 since ca. 1952. I was in Des Moines Tech high school
 at the time. (The calls
 are: KBPS and KDPS.) 
 
  
 
 I have lots of olde time radio memories. 
 
  
 
 Check desmoinesbroadcasting.com and click on KCBC,
 where I worked for about
 8-1/2 years, and be prepared
 
  
 
 Please excuse the perhaps maudlin memories of an
 olde coot. (Olde is the
 olde way to spell old.)
