Re: [IRCA] Changes at KCPW 1010 Salt Lake City
Hey Scott... KCPW does manage to sneak in here to SE Montana now and then both during the day and at night. The times I have caught them at night, it would seem to me that someone might have left the oven on high as the signal quality was very good for 194 watts. Better than KSL on some nights. I will try to log them again and take a clip of the quality. Anyway, just thought I would let you know they do manage to make it over the border now and then.

[IRCA] Changes at KCPW 1010 Salt Lake City
This may not be of interest to anyone but Michael Richard in Evanston, but I'll take that chance... KCPW 1010 Tooele/Salt Lake City has changed calls to KPCW, changing programming from 24/7 BBC World Service to a simulcast of public radio KPCW-FM 91.9 Park City UT. KPCW used to be a sister station to KCPW-FM 88.3 Salt Lake, which owned KCPW 1010...before there was a big to-do over the salary being paid to the stations' founder, who's now departed. The Salt Lake stations were put up for sale, and the FM ended up being bought by a local community group. The AM was supposed to have gone to a Catholic broadcaster, but it appears that sale didn't close. I don't know whether the AM/FM simulcast is a permanent thing, or if it's just temporary while KPCW seeks another buyer for the AM. The AM signal is a 50 kW daytime boomer that's heard across most of Utah and into the surrounding states; at night it drops to 194 watts, and I don't ever recall it being reported at any great distance after dark. Maybe they can be talked into a DX test under the new identity... :-) 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

Scott: I managed to log them late one December afternoon 4 years ago up here in Northern Alberta. One of the few times I've been able to null CBR-Calgary down to nothing. As it was before local sunset, I'm assuming they were still on day power.

I logged and QSL'd the station under a couple calls. The KCPW QSL was with them at low power. It shocked the PD. Of course I was using the beverage, which helped.

Re: [IRCA] Changes at KCPW 1010 Salt Lake City
Interesting as I am under the impression that these guys run 3 kW Critical hours power. Anyhow, I have never had a trace here inspite of a 100 attempts in good cx at SSS to west. 73 KAZ Barrington IL - Original Message - From: Mike Stonebridge stonb...@abnorth.com To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 7:44 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Changes at KCPW 1010 Salt Lake City From: Scott Fybush sc...@fybush.com The AM signal is a 50 kW daytime boomer that's heard across most of Utah and into the surrounding states; at night it drops to 194 watts, and I don't ever recall it being reported at any great distance after dark.
