Re: [IRCA] CBC radio one on 540Kc
Willis, You think CBC is tough to deal with IDing - the suggestion of getting local content is a good one. Here at the Nfld DXpedition, we hear tons of stations from Spanish network, sometimes two ir three deep, echoing like mad, and when you have multiple of, say COPE, or SER, or RN1 stations all on one channel, and like me you don't understand Spanish beyond a few words, you are truly challenged. I have not heard CBC NF from Ontario in many years, and I hear CBK a lot. I think for you it would take either incredible conditions to the Canadian maritimes, or a well-laid-out, directional and terminated longwire. I'll put it another way - we do not have a wire pointed at TN and I have not heard 650 WSM. (Mind you, I did last year using a loop, but then again up here on The Rock you could hear everythging if you had the time. I had 1200 WOAI TX the other night on an ultralight. One of our gang had India 1566 on a Sangean ULR.

Re: [IRCA] CBC radio one on 540Kc
Willis, True, I realize that, but CBK DOES get out very well. A likely catch. They probably have one of the best coverages of any North American station with 50 KW. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin 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

I'm going to vote for CBK-AM in WATROUS, SK with 50KW non directional, that seems more likely.

How does a person determine which station it is? 540 CBT GRAND FALLS NL 1 1 NDA VARIETY CBC RADIO ONE 540 CBK REGINA SK 5 5 NDA VARIETY CBC RADIO ONE These are the only stations that I can find listed that are CBC radio one Two ways: First, CBC delays its programming across time zones, so if you can figure out what show you're listening to, compare it to CBC's on-line schedule to determine whether you're hearing the Newfoundland schedule (CBT) or the Central schedule (CBK). CBC.ca/radio shows what's on now in each time zone. It's showing CBC Radio Overnight (which is international news/talk programming) in Newfoundland and The Tonic (which is a jazz show) in Central, so we can safely assume you have CBK, not CBT. Second way: while there's no local top-hour announcement, there IS a local break for weather after the hourly news, usually at about :06 after the hour. In addition to weather forecasts that mention local cities, there's usually a local ID without calls (eg, You're listening to CBC Radio One, 540 in Saskatchewan.) CBC also streams each of its main local stations, so you can compare streaming audio to what you're hearing. s ___ 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] CBC radio one on 540Kc
Willis If you hear the generic ID there is no way of really knowing. But the stations will broadcast their own regional programming at scheduled times and you can be sure then. This happens more often in other countries in the world, especially in Europe. Bill Harms [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 0010 on 17 November 2008, I am monitoring 540Kc.

Thanks to all the responded. The trouble of waiting for T.O.H. ID is that they are now gone, QSBed. Perhaps they may return, will continue to montor 540. Scott Fybush gave me a schedula of CBC programs, shows that the show the tonic with jazz music is on at this time. So, this would mean the I have possibly logged CBK from this QTH. A FIRST FOR ME. I have heard and QSLed CBK in the past, but not from Tennessee. In 1959 they were always strong in the mornings before dawn, when I lived in Texas. Would really like to here Newfoundland, as I have never logged them on BCB. Have a lot of Newfies on 40 meter CW.
