Re: [IRCA] Re; Dx Tip ( XE s )
I remember listening to Wolfman Jack on my pocket transistor radio on XERB (Big-X)1090 kHz back in 1967 from the San Francisco Bay Area. XERB signal was strong enough to get by local KFAX 50 kw on 1100 kHz. I liked when his listeners would call in and talk to the Wolfman. Another favorite was Curtis Springer on XEMO 860 kHZ from Zzyzx Mineral Springs, CA. Dennis, Salmon Creek, WA - Original Message - From: Rick Lewis rick...@shellworld.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 3:31:11 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Re; Dx Tip ( XE s ) Wolfman Jack didn't appear on XETRA (or its predecessor XEAK) in the early days. I've seen that claim many times, but I think it'sjust someone's misunderstanding that's been propagated on the Internet over the years. Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) started airing on XERB in early '66 (possibly late '65), and became the station's manager that year, converting its non-religious/Spanish hours to a soul format, eventually almost a Wolfman Jack format. As for 690, it aired some rock programming in 1956 and went top 40 (except for an evening religious block and some other specialty shows in English andSpanish in non-prime time) in either 1956 or '57. It changed to an all-news format on May 6, 1961, and went Beautiful Music on April 2, 1968. They stayed with that format until September 26, 1980, when they went CHR, changing to oldies around 1984. It was in their oldies/talk hybrid format where they aired Wolfman Jack for a while. They had brief stints as a news station and with a talk format until settling into sports Talk, I believe around 1990. (When he went national, they were one of the first Rush Limbaugh affiliates; their promos called him Limbo.) I was outside the area then, but I think they briefly adopted an Adult Standards format in their final days as an English-language station, after XEPRS-1090 (the former XERB) took on the sports talk from John Lynch, who was the man originally behind XETRA's sports-talk flip. -- Rick -- Rick ___ 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 ___ 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
[IRCA] New Station
Last night while listening to Bill Wattenburg on KGO 810 there was a lot of splatter from some unknown station on 800 kHz. Our local station on 800 KDPQ was mixing with an unknown station with Pop music. Checking 820 I got an ID from WBAP Fort Worth, Texas. Their signal was fair and the first time I have heard them at this location, time was 11:00 PM PDT. I QSL WBAP for the San Francisco Bay Area back in the late 60's. It was strange hearing splatter on KGO with their strong signal. Radio was a Palstar R-30 cc connected to the High Performance Active Whip.

[IRCA] KFI 640 in at 9:05 A.M. PST
I listen to Coast to Coast on KFI 640 every now and then, if I wake up from 5:00 A.M. to 7:30 A.M. PST I can listen to Bill Handle. KFI usually fades out at 7:30 A.M. PST this time of the year. This morning KFI still had a decent signal at 9:05 A.M. PST. KGVW in Montana rose up a few times earlier, but KFI dominated the channel. This was on the Palstar R30cc and the high performance whip. Last week around 2:00 A.M. PST I heard the Phil Hendrie show on 1270 kHz. Was surprised that KBZZ Sparks, NV was in with a nice signal. That 5,000 watts gets out good.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 pirate again
Steve, Not hearing anything on 1710 here in Salmon Creek. That oldies format sounds a lot better than the programming on the radio stations that are in this area.

Occasional humorous ads, possibly old original ads. One that played several times about buying a GE Superradio on eBay (since it's no longer being made) since that radio is good for superior AM reception. Another humorous ad about a lady with very large feet who needs to find mens's brown loafers in size 11 to fit her feet.

Greetings, I have 5 pictures of KPWX towers taken just after they started testing. The towers are in a farming/ranching area of Mount Angel. The pictures were taken around November of 2009, if I remember right. Pictures are not that good, it is narrow road with few places to park. The center picture shows all three towers. As Scott said, the towers are short.

Re: [IRCA] The 1130 problem
Bert, The fence is a 6' high wood fence. I use speaker wire (cheap 20 awg wire at Wal-mart) The U shaped antenna runs 59'x52'x70' along the top side of the fence. Two sides run North-South and the bottom is East-West. The end of the 59' run is connected to a ewe matching transformer with a coax cable of about 12' running to the receiver. The end of the antenna is not grounded. The matching transformer is grounded. It receives stations better towards the Northeast(TA's). Null seems to be to the Northwest (TP's) It picks up TA's as well as a ewe aimed NE. TP's are seldom heard on the fence antenna. It's a good antenna for me, because of the CCr's and can't be seen by neighbors. To hear TP's I have to go out after dark and raise the masts of the ewe antenna and take them down after sunrise. Hope this helps Bert.

Re: [IRCA] KPWX 1130 Mount Angel S-9+50 db at 1359 utc
Patrick, I was sure surprised at the strength of KPWX signal since they signed on the air. KPNX is strong here and my antennas are aimed Northwest and Northeast. Tomorrow I will use the Palstar 30 cc and the high performance whip and get a more accurate signal strength reading. Thanks to Scott for explaining the FFC sunrise/sunset times. They are lowering their power at the proper time. It will be interesting to see if tomorrow KPWX lowers power at 6:30 PDT. Their sister station on 1150, KLPM signs off completely at night instead of powering down to 47 watts.

Listened from 1124-1435 utc. After reading Gary's description of 1053 kHz in yesterdays posting, I believe now that I heard the station that plays the restaurant style music. Listening to the 10/04/09 recording, it sounds like the music I heard yesterday and this morning on 1053. Thanks Gary for posting the clip. This morning it was slow early. Stations improved from 1330-1430 utc. Again lower channels far better than the upper channels. Only one TP heard above 1323 kHz, and that was HLAZ 1566 with a good signal briefly, then faded to weak. Placing the twin ferrite antenna outside away from the cottage was better than with it inside. Placed it on a piece of fire wood. Found a pvc stand that is around 4' tall and will try and strap the antenna to this stand for tomorrows listening.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 kHz Pirate station in Portland, OR caught by FCC
Patrick, I paid $12.99 for the Talking House transmitter. The Goodwill store had 3 of them. When I plugged it into a ground-fault outlet, it tripped the breaker. It works when pugged into a regular AC outlet. 4 ft wire for a antenna in our den, I could hear it a house or two away on the Escape radio. On the bottom of the transmitter it says that it complies with Part 15 of FCC rules of regulations. Last time I visited the Goodwill store the other two were gone. One sold on e-bay last week for around $32.00.

Re: [IRCA] Radio Rossii on 1026
Walt, WRTH has listed VOR from Oyash, Siberia on 1028 kHz with 250 kw. Dennis, Salmon Creek, WA - Original Message - From: WALTER SALMANIW salma...@shaw.ca To: dxplo...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 9, 2010 10:17:41 PM Subject: [IRCA] Radio Rossii on 1026 Does anyone know where the transmitter location of Radio Rossii on 1026 at 01:00 UTC is located. As I'm cleaning up my new radio room, I put on some amazing Perseus SDR files I recorded from 1 January, 2010 while at my Haida Gwaii cottage. Good to very good reception with ID at 01:05 as Golos Rossii, Novosti. Very slight cochannel QRM. EMWG doesn't match. PAL mentions a 500 kW tx in Novosibirsk, not on the air, while EiBi lists Tajikistan. Anyone sure? I'm blown away with the number of Euro/Central Asian/African stations which are heard on just about every frequency! All this was recorded using a QDFA array aimed due north (over the Pole to Europe). Right next door on 1035 is the Estonian family station in Russian, but weaker, and more cochannels.
