Re: [IRCA] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
What amazes me is just how strong their IBOC was compared to their modulation on 1380. At times I could hear the carrier, but had trouble hearing what was being said, due to low modulation and other signals on the frequency. Yet the IBOC was pounding away loudly especially on 1370. -- Rick ___ 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] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
It sounded like they were on with high power, but low modulation. I guess the IBOC hash gets out as well even with the modulation is low.

[IRCA] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
Off the NE EWE, there is a Very strong carrier at S9+45-50 DB on 1380 and horrible IBOC hash on 1390. Cannot tell on 1370 as I have a local, KAST. Anyone in the Puget Sound can check?

Re: [IRCA] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
Hi Patrick, I'm in northeast Seattle, and I certainly hear the IBOC hash, but KRKO's modulation is very low. Carrier sounds stronger than usual, though, and I know they were planning on using IBOC. Their signal isn't sensational here, but I can't imagine who else would be doing IBOC on 1380. -- Rick On Tue, 3 Feb 2009, Patrick Martin wrote: Off the NE EWE, there is a Very strong carrier at S9+45-50 DB on 1380 and horrible IBOC hash on 1390.

Re: [IRCA] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
Patrick I checked on the SDR-IQ, and the display is showing IBOC hash on 1370 and 1390. The IBOC carriers are about about the right level to be originating from them, and they change strength by the same amount as KRKO when I switch antennas. Your suspicions appear to be correct, but I'll try to check tomorrow during the day to confirm them. I'm not getting a strong carrier there, just KRKO at S9+10 with bits of other stuff in the background Bruce Patrick Martin wrote: Off the NE EWE, there is a Very strong carrier at S9+45-50 DB on 1380 and horrible IBOC hash on 1390.

Re: [IRCA] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
Thanks Bruce Rick, The signal is down now to S9+15, but it was Very strong for a while. It looks like they are testing the new 50 KW, IBOC and all. The earlier signal was probably the 34 KW ND I would guess, maybe 50 KW ND? It was stronger than I get KIRO or KJR!!! Oh great, another IBOC generator.

Re: [IRCA] KRKO-1380 IBOC?
Thanks Rick. It looks like the power boost for 1380 has become a reality unfortunately, plus more IBOC noise and 1390 has been a good channel logging Maine SC and few years back. 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
