Re: [IRCA] New CP for 1140 Aberdeen WA
I was thinking the same thing Paul. Any investment, people want a decent return on that. Building a new facility like this would be expensive. Now their other properties could be re-located there. But that are gets expensive. The CP alone is worth money, so it could be sold to someone else too. The big deal years ago about the new 50,000 watt facility for Warrenton OR, would be co-located with the old KAST location in Astoria. They have two sticks and was going to add 3 more, but with CG air station did not like that across the bay. Too much red tape to get involved with. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: IRCA on behalf of Paul B.

[IRCA] New CP for 1140 Aberdeen WA
Hi Everyone, Posted on another site is a new CP from an app for 1140 Aberdeen WA with 5/2.5 KW. ND Days and Directional NW at night. I would have guessed running 2 sticks at night they may co-locate with KWRO, as they are the only Directional AM in the market. But no, by checking the Lon/Lat the location is to the North at 46.58.19 N / 123.46.18 W. Looks like up the coast a bit. With 3 other AMs and several FMs, I wonder if they can make any money? Building a brand new facility is going to cost lots of $$$ and for an AM. Also I wonder if it will be built? 1570 Warrenton never was. Seems to me a lot of money for very little back.

[IRCA] New EWE Antenna thoughts
My Eastern Beverage is history. I went up to the top of the hill and found the wire broke and the fence posts down including parts of even the neighbors electric fencing. Come to find out, the Elk destroyed it and since the herd of elk, maybe 50 of them have decided to be here often, putting up the wire again is probably not in the cards. Anyway, after I had to raise it back in 2004, it never had the directional properties I had on top of the old barbed wire fence, 4 feet off the ground. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I plan a new East/West EWE, right from my back yard to the side yard. I figure 30 feet high at 110 feet in length, giving me about 170 feet of wire. I was first going to just make it an Western EWE aimed at Asia, but I figured in my backyard why not a East/West one. Never tried an Eastern EWE before. Should be interesting. I can easily hook up a switch set up or an electronic way of switching. I can then get the variable termination set up I got from Colin I have not used as yet. I could also run two wires like twisted pair side by side, one for the Eastern EWE and one for the Western Ewe, but I do know if they would interfere with each other. I need to repair the SW EWE that came down too. The one over to the tree in the field. Between our storms, the Elk and the salt air, it sure takes a toll on the antennas around here. More later. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

Walt, Really some great catches there. When I lived in Seward AK in the 60s, KTIL as well as KNPT were common. KAST was rare though. Those Lighthouse stations are a lot of fun and when conditions are good, their 50-60 watts gets out well. Logged and QSL'd 7 of them in the 90s.

[IRCA] New EWE Idea
Hi Everyone, Yes, I am still here, but I still have my noise level. I don't really know what it is coming from, but when the power in the neighborhood goes off, it is gone. I am thinking of trying another EWE, but this one will run E/W, with the lode to the West, pretty much aimed at Taiwan or Northern Philippines. I have enough room, from the old stump behind the house to the shore pine tree to the East, runs about 112 feet. I figure I can run a piece of PVC pipe up the side of the tree and attach another one on the stump in the backyard. With some luck I should be able to get up 20-25 feet. I can easily I pound a bunch of copper pipe into the ground around the tree for a ground for the termination. I may disconnect my NW EWE and use that coax, or I can run an extension from my old SW EWE coax. That antenna came down a couple years ago from out in the field. I never replaced it as it is not easy on the far side of the electric fence and climbing the tree. With the noise level I just never bothered. At nearly 70, I can still climb a tree, but if I can get away from having to do it, I would rather. So, this is project I am considering. I should be able to put a null to the East with a pot again, nulling like Long view WA during the day, to give me a lobe to the West. I thought about a KAZ or K9AY, but I have the pesky return wire near the ground that my mower gets in the way. A EWE is up out of the way better and they work well here. The interesting thing about this EWE, it will be longer than my old SW one. Should be interesting to try. More later. 73, Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

The first house I grew up in was in Greenbelt, Maryland in the early 60’s.. This was right down the little two lane road from what would be the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and directly across the road from our house was station WWV. I mean right across the street. The station manager and his family lived in an old house on the property and I played with their kids from time to time. I often walked up to the WWV building. Meanwhile, we had tremendous RFI from WWV in everything electronics. It got into our phones, radios, even my play Remco telephone set! As a 4-5 year old, I listened to WWV on our Zenith radio. I listened to the ticks and the announcements at the the top of the minute”Eastern Standard Time - 1:05 pm.” I would listen to the broadcasts for long stretches of time as I looked at the clock on the wall. This is how I learned how to tell time. True story. A few years later, after we moved to another town in Maryland, WWV relocated to Colorado. I think my radio hobby is the result of massive RF exposure from WWV as a young child. : ) I can still see the building in my mind as clears as can be, with the white WWV letters on the front. 73 Russ Johnson Lexington NC On Sun, Sep 30, 2018 at 3:49 PM R.

We had a nice garage built and the contractor installed two brand new Chamberlain garage door openers. The RFI comes from a cheap, dirty switching supply that uses the leads going to the sensors at the bottom of the doors and to the switch by the people door as antenna. It ruins the BCB and 160M.

Re: [IRCA] CONVENTION INTENTION
John, I have the same issue here. A really wonderful area to DX the Pacific has really been downgraded with a lot of noise. I think most is man made noise in houses. It used to be I could fight the power line noise as Pacific Power would come out and repair the issues, but with so many devices in homes, the noise is a lot worse than it used to be. I spend a lot of time either DXing FM or stream radio/tv from all over. Add in a wifi radio.

Re: [IRCA] WWFD 820 Becomes First All-Digital AM Station
With the way the NAB was pushing HD Radio years ago, I am surprised it took this long, from the early 90s when Bob Rusk was writing about it in RW. I doubt the station will have many listeners as who has an HD radio? Few do, even not a lot in auto radios. I find the Sony HD radios in thrift stores these days. I have two. Here on the OR coast I can hear KSL 1160 in HD off the Eastern Beverage at times. I presume once stations decide to go all digital, analog DXing will be a thing of the past. A few more FMs I get in HD as they seem to get out better.

Since they have no analog, there's no reason for them to use the hybrid mode of IBOC which has both analog and digital. That is what causes the interference to adjacent chanbnels and limits the IBOC coverage a bit. If they use the all digital mode, there are different expectations for interference and coverage amd we'll have to re-analyze things. But I'm unaware as to whether all digital IBOC has FCC approval.

Re: [IRCA] Informal "poll"
I started in 1962 , as I knew nothing about it, picking up my first radio off a garbage rack on my way home from school. I was 13. My mother would not let me plug it in until my father got home. We plugged it in and i turned it on, catching the Anchorage AK stations from Seward (KENI-550, KHAR-590, KFQD-730, and KBYR-1270), plus our local at the time, KIBH-1340 (250w). The radio was a Zenith that had a fold down cover, a smaller version of the Oceanic. It was sensitive as all Zenith's were. Heard WA/OR/CA stations after dark. Later on about 1965 I started to hear some SW and even FM. I guess I started with MW, rather than SW. My first QSL'd from Feb 65 were KFBK 1530 and KPAY 1060.

Re: [IRCA] Sony XDRS10HPiP radio
I would just want to record with my old cassette deck Russ. I may take the radio into a shop in Portland to have it done. I do see a mini jax on the back that has audio in for an MP3 player. That jax should be able to be used. I do not need audio in anyway.

Re: [IRCA] Sony XDRS10HPiP radio
I have found a lot of bargains at local Goodwill's. Often the 'Off the path" ones are better with good finds. I have found the Tillamook, Lincoln City, and Scappoose Goodwill's better that Portland. The smaller cities offer better prices where in the bigger cities are more expensive. It is just "hit and miss" Sometimes there are goodies and other times nothing too exciting. Lots of older clock radios, DVD players, TV's, even some car radios with cassette tapes. Amps, you name it. My friend Carey go often when traveling around the NW. He looks for old movies on DVD. I look at the electronics. We plan a trip next Summer down the coast, over to the Valley and back up. We should be able to hit about 8 Goodwill's. Fun stuff.

Hi everyone, Today I went to Goodwill and I found in very good shape, a Sony XDRS10HDiP HD Radio. I plugged it in and it came on and seemed to work. No price on it, so I asked. The clerk said "How about $4.99, but the radio is "as is", no returns. I even got my 10% Senior Citizen discount, so it was $4.49!!! Got it home, hooked up the FM Yagi and it works perfectly. I got several FM stations in HD including KJR FM Seattle. It even has a connection on the top for an Ipod. I tried the Ipod connection and it works too. This radio has two front speakers with Surround Sound and sounds great! The signal is even a hair better than on my XDR-F1 HD. That is the 3rd good deal I have found of late at Goodwill. This was the best of the bunch. First I found a Turntable/cassette/CD recorder for $20. Then I found a wifi radio for $15. All three work fine too. On the XDRS10HPiP radio, I have not tried the AM at yet. My XDR-F1 HD gets KSL in HD at times at night. I presume this one will too. Depending on the noise level. I am really pleased with this!

Re: [IRCA] Pat Martin
Hi Everyone, Yes, indeed I am alive and well. As Bill stated, something in the neighborhood has shown up in the past few years that really knocks out the dial. I feel it is not the power lines, but something else. Even though the area has underground power, there are still neighbors close enough and anything can cause the noise. I couple weeks ago I did have one day without the noise and the power was on. A lot of older people live in the area too and any could have a medical device that could cause the noise. Plus Pot is now legal in Oregon so dryers and other noise makers could be the cause. I attended the Reno convention this year and had a great time. I am still very much interested in the hobby, but I may have to wait until the dial gets quieter. I got a good gain FM Yagi from Germany, via Les and it works quite nicely for FM, so it still is not MW. I do a lot of streaming too. People around here move and pass on, it is just a matter of time when the dials gets more quiet. That is if I live that long. hi. I just I have to add that in there, as I will be 69 in March, but as others can attest I am still in good shape. Hopefully I will stay that way for a while. Thanks for asking.

Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Confirms S9 Reception
Great going Gary. 2WEB used to be common, but that was years ago. They had a
nice card in the 80s. I've got the Eastern Beverage and the NW EWE now working
after the storms last Summer. This Fall I am getting the SW EWE back up. The
noise level of late has dropped off, so maybe I can finally get back to Pacific
DXing. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Subject: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Confirms S9 Reception
David Sharp, programming director of 585-2WEB in Bourke, Australia ("Outback
Radio") has confirmed the blowtorch reception of the station yesterday morning
at the Rockwork 4 cliff, calling it "the strongest level I've ever heard for TP
reception."
https://app.box.com/s/46t2trpbuqw90na4zdrl97v1p9ijuq5l
David is an ex-U.S. DXer and member of our Ultralight Radio Yahoo group. My
first contact with him was in 2010, when I was complaining on the Ultralight
list about "the dumb Australian station on 585 that plays rock music but never
ID's." He listened to a song in my MP3 and sent me a QSL out of the blue, after
checking the station's music log. I promptly "took back" what I had said about
the station :-)
Gary DeBock (in Nehalem, OR, USA)
<<< I checked our music log. Definitely 2WEB at the strongest level I've ever
heard for TP reception.
Gary- you already have two QSL letters and this is your fourth reception of the
station (also a record for a single DXer), let me know if you want another QSL.
2WEB gets almost no reports these days!

I hooked a long wire to the loop on the back of it and ran fifty feet of wire out my second floor window through some trees. It was from Radio Swan, Swan Island, Caribbean Sea, about 100 miles north east of Honduras.

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question
My old 65 Rambler, 1970 Impala, as well as the 89 & 97 Caravans all had good radio in them. There are radios out there that are sensitive, but getting one to fit the dash may be another issue. Internet radio is not practical on the coast. Unless I go with a carrier like Verizon, the others are more spotty and I have my cel phone account with Verizon and to have enough data to stream radio would be quite costly. Now if I lived in Portland or the Valley, Seattle, etc, the charges are less as there are many carriers to choose from. We have several out here, but Verizon has by far the best coverage, but also is the most expensive. I do have a wifi radio at home as well as the Roku for radio & TV, but getting the signal off the Verizon tower is expensive if I want to run it all day while I go from job to job.

I am not hearing noise on the radio. That issue has been solved. Infact both the 89 & 97 Dodge Caravans I always had some ignition noise (spark plus, etc), but the radio in the 2014 is fairly quiet on AM, but some not very sensitive. Of course if I increase the sensitivity, possibly the the car noise will get into the radio more.

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question
Karl, I did have the noise problem with the radio, but found the regular hood mounted steel whip was loose. I tightened it down and suddenly the noise is gone, but the AM section is not very sensitive. A far cry from my 1997 or 1989. I think I will try to extend the whip a foot or two higher with some stiff copper wire and see if the gain increases. It looks like I can unscrew the whip as it looks threaded to the base. If that is the case, installing a longer whip might be the answer. It could be, the AM section is just poor. I know some car radios are terrible on AM. If that is the case, the only other answer is to replace the Stereo with something better like a Kenwood or Pioneer, but of course getting anything like that to perfectly fit the dash would not be easy probably. The Stereo uses a 2 din set up, so it would have to match up. Gone are the days when the radios were easy as you said. Everything is way to complicated in today's world. Thanks Karl. I will post any improvements.

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question
I just found that out today from another DXer. So that is not the issue. Maybe the radio is not that sensitive. I could always add a couple feet of wire to the antenna and see if the gain goes up.

The older Dodge Caravans were good and sensitive, but this one seems to lack luster. I was just wondering if I could boost the sensitivity some way.

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question
Jim, I have had a lot of Caravans starting with the 89, then the 97, and now the 2014. Both the 89 & 97 had ignition noise on AM, but the radios were fairly sensitive. This one is nothing to write home about regarding sensitivity. That is one reason I was wondering if there is some adjustment to peak the antenna like years ago. But with so much computer stuff today, there is probably some chip and self adjusts, but I have no clue.

Re: [IRCA] KJNO 630
FM translators are popping up everywhere relaying AM stations. We have two in the county (KSWB-840-Seaside) on 98.1 (250w ERP) as well as (KKOR-1230-Astoria) on 106.3 also 250w ERP. There are two or three in Longview WA as well as Aberdeen WA I can hear. They get out better than the AMs in many cases and have better audio quality and Stereo. KSWB got theirs on for about $20,000.

[IRCA] Batteries in my Supper Radio II OT
Hi Everyone, Something odd happened tonight. I found my Super Radio II dead. So I figured the batteries were dead. I went to check them and found something odd. Two of the six batteries had reversed polarity! In my over 50 years in electronics I have never found that. The batteries are good Duracell. Has this happened to anyone else? With electronics I guess anything is possible. Two batteries were at about 1V, two were nearly dead and the two that reversed polarity were at about 1/2V. Fortunately the radio is fine. I replaced the batteries. This may be more common, but I have never seen it.

These concerns were raised almost a decade ago when we first started the process. Our response then was simple—if the station owner, chief engineer, or other person of authority authorizes the CPC Chairman to act as their “QSL Manager” then those QSL’s carry the full weight and authority of the station. As you point out, this process is common in amateur radio circles. And several DX’ers have acted as QSL Managers for individual stations for years. Given that the CPC Chairman often is a more reliable judge of valid reception than even a Chief Engineer might be (given their knowledge of distant reception) then I personally find these types of QSL’s to be very valid. As other have expressed.

Re: [IRCA] WBOB DX Test QSL
It would be nice to have a QSL manager in most cities, but I doubt that would ever happen. I have been the QSL Manager for 1680 Fresno, as the CE asked me if I would be willing to do it.

Brandon Jordan, who was our CPC Chairman at the time, contacted the engineer once or twice after I inquired about whether he knew what the status of the verifications was, but to no avail. I haven't heard very many stations from Florida in northern Vermont, so I was really hoping to receive their verie.

Re: [IRCA] Aloha from Hawaii
Lots of power line noise in Hawaii. Little good grounding with Lava rock, I was over there several times and in having dinner with engineer Alan Roycroft complained that the local coverage of AM stations was poor. The station(s) could be heard thousands of miles away, but could not always cover their locals. The rental cars I had, driving out of Hilo up into the Volcano area, after I got 25-30 miles away, even KIPA 620, KPUA-670 were not all that great. Yet at night, San Francisco was heard, better than some locals. Ground conductivity there is not great either, unless the towers are in the ocean. Richard Wood DXed off local power with running his house off batteries to get rid of noise. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: IRCA <irca-boun...@hard-core-dx.com> on behalf of R.

Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies
Chris, Thanks for the update on 1440. Maybe a possibility here, but too bad it is co channel with JOWF. As I mentioned, I have tried for any AFN Korean station for decades without any luck. It is also possible than one could have been in the jumble, without knowing it with good openings to the FE. I have heard a jumble on many splits through the years with several Chinese stations on a single frequency, so anything is possible. But nothing to ID anything that even sounded like an AFN station.

Japan could be another story. I wholly believe that AFN on 1440 Daegu is running a full 5kw. They upgraded their equipment back in May when they moved from the very-occupied 1080 frequency (Seoul was on there jamming as well as MBC Yeosu and 1500kw Haeju just outside of metro Seoul and the list goes on) and when they came on 1440, they had a very good signal, far, far better than the 10 and 20kw stations half the distance from Seoul that are inaudible, many having gone to much lower power due to lack of listeners, as is the Korean norm these days for non-government (KBS) stations. 1575 is a regular in Seoul and comes in like a 1kw station once VOA turns off. It wouldn't compare to the other Japanese 5kw stations that have clear signals from down there. I've never heard 810 before because of locals and Hangzhou is 150kw. 648 is certainly 10kw. I could hear that regularly in Seoul from nearly 800 miles out. And the document mentions authorized power of course, not actual. 3kw on the USAG Humphreys' FM signal ain't happening. I lived 7 miles from that tower which bleeds like mad into the adjacent 88.5 Osan 8 miles from the Humphreys' tower on 88.3. 88.3 isn't running 3kw but the standard 50w or so, and they both get out a good 40 miles at that.

Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies
DX friends in Korea tell me that none of the Korean AFN stations are running a full 5 KW, (As some are listed),as they just do not have that good a signal. The towers are short and they just do not have much coverage. I tried for years to nab one, but no luck here as yet. One Dxer said some years back, that he never heard any when he was in Japan. Their ground system probably leaves a lot to be desired. I have heard AFN-810, 648, and 1575 (Japan), as well as AFTRS 1550 (Now 810) and several AFRTS outlets from Taiwan in the 60s (1560-1570).

Re: [IRCA] Car radios
Mark, I have the same issue with the AM section on my 2014 Dodge Carivan. The FM is fine, but the AM is covered with noise if the car is running. It is not ignition noise either.

[IRCA] Eastern Beverage update
Hi Everyone, I am pleased with my reconstruction of the Eastern Beverage. It seems much like it was several years ago. Many frequencies are in a jumble. 740 is pretty dominant Toronto. I checked and KSL is local-like, so I hooked the beverage up to the Sony, and nearly immediately KSL locked into HD. I wonder if they are still running 1%. Conditions seem to be good tonight, but even last night the dial seemed more alive from the East than I had heard in several years. Maybe I need to repair it more often.hi.

[IRCA] Update on Noise Level and other things
I remembered I had the two chokes that I built years ago at the suggestion of John Bryant. I re-installed one at the antenna input and my noise dropped by 80% on the R8. The Eastern Beverage is now working pretty well. At Noon today, I am getting KBOI & KSL fairly well. There is still some noise, but nothing like there was. Of course the Beverage does null the noise running East. Interesting, off the back end (West) JOUB 774 was armchair copy last night. XERF 1570 was also good. Now to get the SW EWE back up and see what I can do with that. But it was pretty much destroyed, but at least have the line from the ground to the branch, so I do not need to climb the tree again. As many of you know, I have been an avid QSLer now for over 50 years. The change in the QSLing over the past decade has not been to my liking, but I see more prepared cards are forthcoming in the QSL World, so maybe even though I am not a fan of them, I may have to embrace them more, as I do miss QSLing. I have not given up the hobby, as some have asked! I never will, but I have been heavily into in FM DXing, not being able to do much on MW. I do plan to attend the Reno convention, even though in August. I will take the weekend off to fly down if I can. The club is very important to me as I have been a member since 1968. We have a great group of friends and unfortunately, we are all aging. I'll be 68 in March, but I want to be able to visit with friends, while we are able to.

[IRCA] Eastern Beverage back up
After months of trying to get rid of an old tree that came down, I decided to just put the Beverage back up and deal with the tree root later. One thing, it is not a good idea to let a Beverage lay dormant for a year and let it get over run by brambles. I found a break and replaced some of the wire, and untangled it, cut away the branches and brambles in the way, and I have it back. Took about an hour one day (ran out of daylight), and three hours yesterday. I am scratched up a bit, but other than that, okay. The Beverage works as good as ever, but I have found the noise level has increased. One thing I forgot I had were a couple RF choke boxes John Bryant suggested I build to stabilize the antenna coax coming in. I had disconnected those a while back, and I found running the coax through that knocked the noise level way down. I will see what difference it makes during the day when signals are lower. But the Beverage does work fine. 740 is a jumble mess nulling KCBS. I notice d a strong KJRB 790, which is odd as they are supposed to null the West. I have not heard them in years. Caught them running Oldies. But at least I do have one my antennas back up an running.

[IRCA] RF Interference from a Dehumidifier
I recently got my Eastern Beverage back up and going and it works fine. Unfortunately, my noise level has increased. I have used an inside portable Dehumidifier the past few years. Several months ago I had to replace my old GE with a new one. It is the same model, but the old one never caused RFI. This one does, so it makes the noise worse. Does anyone have an idea on how to filter the noise out, other than tuning it off? RFI chokes, clip on ones? Something else? Thanks.

Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?
DXing on the coast in a rural area, India is quite rare here, even with antennas aimed in that general direction. I have two to date, AIR 864 Shillong (100KW) that John Bryant's student IDed for me (QSL'd), and AIR 1566 IDed for the India DX Club. It takes excellent conditions and the skip in the right direction. I figure on mornings when Thailand 891 was booming in, I had a shot at that part of Asia. It happens with India, Bangladesh (558) as well as Nepal. But again it is not common here. I would be very surprised if anyone could log it from the center of the US. The NF guys have gotten it as well as some of us on the West Coast. I have friends in Asia that gets India often, but they are a lot closer.

[IRCA] KGFJ 1230 LA
As some of you know, some years ago I purchased a Roku where I watch TV from around the World. Also there are a lot of apps for radio. Today Roku added a real jewel, Classic KGFJ, with original music, jingles, jives, and ads. I have been listening to the app for a while. I wish there was DJ patter, but still pretty cool to listen to from the 1960s."The Big K over LA". A station that was rare to hear in the NW, but along with KHJ, KGBS, KDAY, KFWB, and KGFJ.
