[IRCA] 1400 khz station

[James Niven]

I was just checking my Sunday 6am recording, down to 1400 khz. This station
just come out of the blue with female promoting "The Oklahoma City Home and
Garden Show" held Jan 19th to Jan 21st.

Now I checked other stations in Oklahoma on 1400, there is:

KWON Bartlesville and KTMC McAlester, these two stations are East of
Oklahoma City but KREF is in Norman and closer to Oklahoma City and could be
the station I heard.

I would also think these other two stations would be promoting the Home and
garden show as well.

 

Thoughts??

 

 

Regards,

 

James Niven

Austin, Texas

[IRCA] 1400 UTC TP Report Victoria BC Riches to rags

[R. Colin Newell]

What looked like a Christmas tree at 11:00 hours this AM
and a State building at 12:00 and 12:30 or so...
has dissolved into a single blinking LED at 14:08 UTC...
The transformation astounding but not surprising considering the
petulant and often childish nature of the ionosphere.

Early this AM (sunset in the Far East I gather...), the band was rich,
across the band,
with a blend of the regulars at stunning levels and 2nd tiers as well as
some of the Chinese
FS and regional services (all based on observations from the NHP SDR Radar
on line and
viewed from the comfort of my bed...), Koreans and what-have-you.

All that is left now is iridescent drizzle courtesy of one or two top tier
NHK stations.

Good DX all,

Saul,

Your 97.5 is KNMO Nevada, MO

What you're hearing is "That's Sports on Missouri Net"  . MissouriNet is a
statewide news/sports network.

http://www.missourinet.com/radio-stations/

With your reception of 97.5 KNMO.. could your 93.9 be KSSZ
Fayette/Columbia, MO? (30 miles NW of Jefferson City?

[IRCA] 1400 The Kingdom

[Chernos Saul]

I heard an ID that said something sounding like "1400 The Kingdom" - but on 
92.7, in a very brief meteor scatter burst.

I have considered the Detroit MI translator but that would be very 
short for meteor scatter, and I have to rule out tropo scatter as there was 
nothing 
higher-powered from the area. I am curious if any of you hear something other 
than 
'Kingdom'.

If some of you have never tried DXing meteor scatter, it's highly enjoyable and 
rewarding but I do advise running a recorder, being in the room in case you 
hear a sudden rewarding utterance (upon which you check your recording), and 
having a good book to read, work to do, or other quiet activity. I once logged 
AR on 94.9 while working out!

Thank you for any ideas on these unIDs!

So are both CIOR and CKGR in the Okanagan Valley area? Both ID as EZ Rock, 
both play Oldies/AC? If so then I still don't know which one I heard and 
can't claim it for the log.

Re: [IRCA] 1400 Graveyard listening for the newbie

[HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS]

I am almost totally opposite as Steve - I DX domestics (US/Canada)
almost exclusively.  However I have never had the patience or touch to
DX the Graveyarders (1230, 1240, 1340, 1400, 1450 and 1490) with much
success.  Now I have heard some distant ones, VA, MN and FL for instance
but only a handful on each GY channel, including locals and semi-locals!
I used to DX using a radio's speaker only but after switching to
headphones and earbuds (thanks to the ULR craze), I still find it hard
to pick out ID's and such.

I may have mentioned a few weeks back hearing WOHI E. Liverpool Ohio on
1490.  It was like listening to a non-GY channel - I could understand
every song and the ID @ almost 300 miles!  That, for me, is the
exception to the rule.  What was even better was that WOHI was heard on
a Grundig S-350 using the speaker.  Wish they could all be like that!
Normally I catch an ID popping through the jumble.

At any rate, Steve, the GY channels can be a fun challenge.

Good Luck and 73,

Dave in Indy

Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1";
reply-type=original

As almost everyone probably knows, I am anything but a domestic AM DXer.

Several days ago Paul Walker made a request for anyone hearing several 
stations. Since one was 100 miles away I figured it would be an easy
listen, 
just tune there and have at it. How wrong I was! Not being previously 
remotely knowledgable about signals on 1400, I have become much better 
acquainted the past 3 days and I admit it's been interesting and even 
enjoyable. And I have only heard 1400 KJDY once so far, a brief fadeup
with 
mentions of John Day (Oregon). The farthest has been KEYL, MN "Real
Country" 
which faded up briefly this morning. Others have been KQMS, CA; KRPL,
ID; 
KSPT/KBFI, ID; KBCK, MT; KQDJ, ND; KBCH, OR; KLCK, WA/OR; KEDO, WA;
KODI, 
WY. A SS station has been heard several times but no chance for an ID.
It's interesting that the best time is early morning for several hours.
So 
far I haven't pulled any audio out of the continuous jumble of stations 
mixing together at night.

You're right and that's a point I should've made too.

KIYU-AM 910 Galena, Alaska is/was silent because of the extreme cost of fuel
to power their generator, they filed for an got an STA to light up about a
dozen low power FM's in their local communities.

I can't believe I missed the few directional AM's there were in Alaska,
saying there were none. .I knew better!

Great to hear from you. It has been a while. Yes, indeed Fred Meyer's

Scott,

It reminds me of the huge rates KAIM-870 had to pay on Molokai years ago
with their 50 KW. They shut it down.  For many years when I lived in AK
(55-67), There were no 50 KWers at all. KFQD-730, later 750, KFAR 660
and KFRB 900 were 10 KW and everything else had lower power. There were
only 19 AM station in the 49th state when I left tere in 1967.

There's one big reason Alaskan AMs aren't rushing to increase power, 
even when they could: the cost of power for transmitters is insane up 
there. We're accustomed to paying somewhere between 7 and 20 cents per 
kilowatt-hour here in the lower 48; it can easily cost four to five 
times that much on the Last Frontier, especially if stations have to 
generate their own in remote places like Nome.

Re: [IRCA] 1400

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

There are no directional AM's in Alaska and probably never will be.. land is
extremely hard to come by and what little you can find, is hard to build on.

KIAL had a CP to go to 4.2KW, still on 1450, but never built it out.. that
would've required a full 1/4 wave tower, albleit a big improvement over the
whip antenna and 50W they'd been using before years until shutting the AM

But technically, in Hawaii.. and Alaska, Graveyard Channels, which are 1230,
1240, 1340, 1400, 1450 and 1490 are not Class C's in the 48 US... they are
Class B's and not limited to 1KW.

Re: [IRCA] 1400 Graveyard listening for the newbie

[Patrick Martin]

Steve,

I guess it all have to do with location and the mountain ranges. Here
KJDY is fairly easy at night. Not super commoin, but I hear it several
nights a month when sitting on 1400. 1240 Redmond is still elusive to
me. I hear them, but very hard to get a def ID. The old KPRB was easier.
Now 1340 Bend is easy. Enterprise  KWVR 1340 was tough for years with
short hours and 250w. Had great groundwave, but poor skip back in the
70s. Today I hear them often at times. Burns 1230 is still not easy, but
I do hear it on occasion.

Hi Pat and Don,
Thanks much for the well-wishes. Pure luck of course to have KEYL fade up 
and be there to catch it, but still nice to get especially since I now know 
it's not so easy to get them! I would still like to get better reception of 
John Day, being relatively nearby, but I guess I'll need to do a lot more 
listening to see if that ever happens. :)

Don,

I wish I would have had the Eastern beverage around 1970. It would have
been a lot of fun. I knew little about antennas in those days. It is the
old adage "If I knew then what I know now", plus had the room for a
beverage, which didn't at the time. I did had a 600 foot longwire
running N/S, but it was not feed by coax, so it was not too directional.
I had more powerline noise in those days too.

Pat,

For reasons I don't remember all my graveyard catches from California 
were in the western 13 states.  The early 70s were a rough time in my 
life and I was inactive dxing from 1970-1975 when I got back in gear in 
S.F.  So I missed those periods when 1400 was open.

A few years ago, I devoted a considerable amount of time to DXing the Graveyard

is a truly amazing reception, and you should be proud of your efforts. 

Take it from the “Gravedigger”.

Steve, welcome to graveyard dxing!   You did fantastic in 3 days..I 
checked and see I have 23 stations heard on 1400 kHz (not counting the 
myriad call changes).  But this from 1957 to now.  Most were back before 
1990.  I have a local over in Berkeley which is very hard to null (when 
I can hear anything thru the HNL).  Hearing Minnesota is quite a feat.  
I think my furthest on a GY were El Paso on 1340 & Casper on 1400...Nice 
dxing.

interesting and even enjoyable. And I have only heard 1400 KJDY once 
so far, a brief fadeup with mentions of John Day (Oregon). The 
farthest has been KEYL, MN "Real Country" which faded up briefly this 
morning. Others have been KQMS, CA; KRPL, ID; KSPT/KBFI, ID; KBCK, MT; 
KQDJ, ND; KBCH, OR; KLCK, WA/OR; KEDO, WA; KODI, WY. A SS station has 
been heard several times but no chance for an ID.
It's interesting that the best time is early morning for several 
hours. So far I haven't pulled any audio out of the continuous jumble 
of stations mixing together at night.

[IRCA] 1400 Graveyard listening for the newbie

[Steve Ratzlaff]

As almost everyone probably knows, I am anything but a domestic AM DXer. 
Several days ago Paul Walker made a request for anyone hearing several 
stations. Since one was 100 miles away I figured it would be an easy listen, 
just tune there and have at it. How wrong I was! Not being previously 
remotely knowledgable about signals on 1400, I have become much better 
acquainted the past 3 days and I admit it's been interesting and even 
enjoyable. And I have only heard 1400 KJDY once so far, a brief fadeup with 
mentions of John Day (Oregon). The farthest has been KEYL, MN "Real Country" 
which faded up briefly this morning. Others have been KQMS, CA; KRPL, ID; 
KSPT/KBFI, ID; KBCK, MT; KQDJ, ND; KBCH, OR; KLCK, WA/OR; KEDO, WA; KODI, 
WY. A SS station has been heard several times but no chance for an ID.

Re: [IRCA] 1400 unID in Maine

If I were forced to bet on one it'd be WJZN - only because of the proximity, 
and if it's a news item it could be any of them.

[IRCA] 1400 unID in Maine

[Chernos Saul]

I had weather for Rockland on 1400 on my east wire a few nights ago. Conditions 
were good to New England. I am pretty certain this is Maine - I don't see 
anyone serving anywhere close to Rockland County (NY) on 1400, WHTB in Fall 
River near Rockland MA is Portuguese, and I can't find other options. Maine 
stations include WJZN Augusta (perhaps the closest to Rockland and //WTVL 
Waterville), WVAE Biddelford (//WBAE Portland), and WWNZ Veazie.

 

Any thoughts on this one?

[IRCA] 1400 DX test

[Chernos Saul]

Can anyone confirm whether or not the DX test from the Fall River MA 1400 
station, which no one reported hearing last Sunday morning, in fact broadcast? 
If not, is another test planned? I was among those who tried for, but failed to 
hear, the test.

Re: [IRCA] 1400 unID Boston Bruins hockey

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

My first guess would be WLLH 1400 Lowell, MA (with a synch. transmitter in
Lawrence). It could be that 1400 split off from 890 to do hockey on 1400
since 890 would be well within the 1030 coverage, then again, so is 1400.

Just a guess. Their website is http://www.espnboston.com

[IRCA] 1400 unID Boston Bruins hockey

[Chernos Saul]

Niel Wolfish and I were DXing 1400 on 13 Dec at 1910 EST and heard Boston 
Bruins hockey. It was // WBZ but actually a few seconds ahead of WBZ. 
Perhaps because WBZ uses IBOC ... we're not sure why. But we can't find a 
1400 on any Bruins' lists.


Any leads are appreciated.

Re: [IRCA] 1400 KQMS DX test results

[Bruce Portzer]

Walt

I heard those stations, too, plus a couple of IDs for KJDY.  KJDY 
confused me at first because they gave a dual ID that included KJDY-FM 
Canyon City, and coincidentally there's a station on 1400 in Canon City, 
CO.  Oddly enough, I didn't hear any sign of my semi-local KITZ, which 
is only about 20 miles west of here.

I didn't count the code IDs, but there seemed to be an endless string of 
them 0332-0337. It may have lasted longer - I didn't bother to replay 
the file after that.

[IRCA] 1400 KQMS DX test results

[Walter Salmaniw]

I just monitored the hour of the DX test.  Apart from a LOT of CW from the 
station, I also heard IDs for CIOR Penticton, KSPT Sandpoint ID, and KNND 
Cottage Grove, OR.
I never did hear any voice IDs, but CW was heard at least 11 times.  Seems to 
me that they would send a long string of CW, with a brief pause, and then 
transmit it again.
I've sent out files to my CW gurus, Nick and Steve for further analysis.  Fun 
as always for sure!  Thanks everyone..Walt in Victoria.

Listening to a mp3 of 1400 and I hear an ID for I believe KNND, Cottage Grove, 
OR.  They ID, though, as the "True Oldies Channel".  The website and the NRC AM
