Re: [IRCA] 900 CKMO's transmitter's finally off!
At the moment, I'm hearing KBIF, Fresno over another weaker cochannel with a SE Asian sounding language. Lots of mentions of Fresno. Possibly Vietnamese? Good level. All this at 04:40 UTC or 9:42 PM PDT. 900 kHz, of course. A "new" frequency for me! ...Walt On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 4:56 PM, Patrick Martin wrote: > Colin, > > CHML may have more of a lobe towards me, being 160 miles South of > Victoria, but they are sure common.

Colin, CHML may have more of a lobe towards me, being 160 miles South of Victoria, but they are sure common. The three fairly common Ontario stations there days are Hamilton-900, Toronto-740, and Oshawa-1580. But Quebec is really tough to hear. Very rare.

Not sure if I will be that lucky -- but I did check last night. There were a couple of stations present on 900 khz. I did not hang out long enough to squeeze out any ID's. Many thanks to Walt for pointing out the carrier collapse of CKMO - it seems like we have been sitting on our hands waiting for this for some time. This is a historic event for AM radio in Victoria - I imagine the last time we only had one active frequency in the city of Victoria on the AM band was uhm... http://www.cucvictoria.com/history-radio.html 1923! Enjoy the new frequency folks! 73, Colin - www.dxer.ca ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] 900 CKMO's transmitter's finally off!
It happened today I guess, Walt. At 1200UT (5AM PDT) this morning the carrier was still there... Your personal antennae are working well.

Since CKMO cut their modulation, CHML Hamilton Ontario has been very common here. Infact I have been trying for MN, but so far no luck. But I do hear CHML a lot. 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
Re: [IRCA] 900 CKMO's transmitter's finally off!
Brilliant! Good call on that on Walter. Funny - I have the Drake on almost every day and the Icom 703+ on all evening and I regularly do a band scan including the 900 freq. but I have not looked in a week. What will be hear on 900 now? Let's check it out.

Walt, Thanks for the information on CKMO transmitter finally off the air. Now on 900 kHz KRKT Wenatchee with a Angles vs Mariners baseball game. Signal is S-9+40 db on the high performance active whip. 154 miles as the crow flies.
