Re: [IRCA] KKXA-1520 Still In Analog
Patrick, I think I'm less than 30 miles from KKXA's site, and it's not very strong at nnight. Maybe the tightest pattern I've ever seen at such a short distance. But KGDD is massive here. Since I'm blind, thus I don't drive, I've never been able to ascertain the extent of KKXA's usable signal at night. Even in their pattern, I'd expect it to be negligible. Years ago when I worked at daytime-only KACI in The Dalles, there's no way they could have gotten an effective night signal with KMPS in Seattle's massive signal also on 1300. Even so, after I left the area, KACI did get night authorization for a few watts. (And look what happened to Seattle's 1300, now KKOL, a shadow of their former facility.) But the KACI/KMPS situation of the 80s is similar to 1520, except that KGDD is probably three times louder than KMPS was on 1300 in The Dalles. -- Rick -Original Message- From: IRCA [mailto:irca-boun...@hard-core-dx.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Martin Sent: Friday, October 03, 2014 12:20 AM To: IRCA Subject: Re: [IRCA] KKXA-1520 Still In Analog Rick, You are hearing KGDD up there in the shadow of KKXA?

Re: [IRCA] KKXA-1520 Still In Analog
Hi Patrick, Their webpage now omits tonight's test on KKXA, but adds one on Tuesday the 7th from 9 PM to 1 AM. Everything I previously read indicated a window of October 2-6, but it's right there at: http://www.everettpost.com/pages/11648427.php KGDD is so loud tonight that it took me 3 minutes to verify that I was hearing country on 1520. - Rick -Original Message- From: IRCA [mailto:irca-boun...@hard-core-dx.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Martin Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2014 9:40 PM To: IRCA Subject: Re: [IRCA] KKXA-1520 Still In Analog Rick, I just checked too and KKXA is in analog at 9:39 PM, but they are weak, pretty much buried under KGDD here.

[IRCA] KKXA-1520 Still In Analog
There's a discrepancy between their website and their on-air promo, and it looks like the promo is correct. KKXA-1520 is still analog this evening. I'll leave a recorder running in case they do something receivable during the later part of the window, but they're promoting Saturday night, so I'll try again then. -- Rick Lewis ___ 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
