[IRCA] Surprise
--- Begin Message --- Hi All: Sometimes you can listen to a station for a long time, thinking it's one of your most wanted, and never hear so much as a local spot or ID. At other times . . . 1330; KNSS, KS, Wichita 6/27/19, 2252 ELT I was just passin' through 1330 on my way down to 1310 and stopped long enough to catch the end of a promo and, loud and clear, "On 1330, KNSS." As I said, much wanted. Also noted very good signal on what was almost certainly KGLO, 1300, Mason City, Iowa, carrying the Twins game. Headed for K-Glow land this weekend for our son's installation as pastor of the First Congregational Church of Buffalo Center, Iowa. Just an observation; except for a couple of weak locals it is very hard to find a strong signal at night on any regional or local channel around here. WXGO, 1270, Madison, IN dominates 1270 at night here and for many years about the only readable signal on 1440 at night was WPRS, Paris, Illinois with its hundred watts. In Michigan such channels tended to have two or three strong signals. In the southeast, I have noted, unless there is a local signal those channels contain such a hideous roar of stations as to be unlistenable. How do DXers down there survive? 73David FaulknerAlbany, Ohio --- End Message --- ___ 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
[IRCA] Surprise DX on 1410!
Sat down in the easy chair tonight to do some "catch-up" work on my job search log, picked up my DT-400W to do some casual tuning around, and was quite surprised to hear an ID from "Archangel Radio, 1410 WNGL" in Mobile, AL, as they were heading into the "Live Hour" program at 9:00 PM CDT. I had not heard this station before, so I did some quick research and found out that before becoming WNGL, Catholic Radio for the Archdiocese of Mobile, AL, the station had been WUNI from 1963 to 1984. I verified them in 1979 when I lived in Charlotte, NC. They sent me a small "WUNI-Bird" lapel pin with my verie!! If you hear them, their website is www.wngl1410am.com They also stream online via TuneIn at tunein.com/radio/WNGL-1410-s30845/ I also found a great link for digging into the history of Alabama broadcasters! It's the Alabama Broadcast Media Page. The link is at: www.almediapage.info/ 73 and Good DX, Steve Ponder, N5WBI Houston, TX "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."

[IRCA] Surprise Appearance from KHGG 1580!
Last night (11/02) around 9:25 PM CST, I stumbled across a station on 1580 with commercial spots for businesses in Van Buren, AR. They were barely on top of the mix, but they were there. At 9:30 PM, I was surprised with an ID as "KHGG News-Talk 1580, Van Buren, Arkansas" (or at least that's what I heard). They had already started to slip beneath the surface of the jumble. At around 9:33 PM they quickly dove under. DRAT IT! I was in bed, at the time, suffering from, well, let's just say that my fish sandwich wasn't the best that I've had. NO RECORDER, NO LOGBOOK, and way too weak to jump out of bed to get them. Maybe I'll get them again tonight. -- Stephen Ponder N5WBI Southeast TX DXer http://setxdxer.blogspot.com/ Houston TX USA ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://arizona.hard-core-dx.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
