Re: [IRCA] Celsius - was - CFRB-1010

I once worked with a guy who had a metric clock hanging up in his office. It looked and worked just like a regular analog clock except the numbers were from 1-10 instead of 1-12. You could tell time with it if you ignored the numbers and looked at the positions of the hands. Bruce Nick

[IRCA] KGYN 1210

I will add my voice to those who have heard KGYN 1210 on the East Coast. I heard them with a strong signal overpowering WPHT (120 miles from here) with IDs and country music. 0400 2/3. On my West EWE, no nulling with the phaser necessary. This is more than good conditions, I believe their

[IRCA] TP 3 Feb--hardly

Around 1515UT, weak audio on 774; wispy carriers between 700 and 1300kHz, some a bit surprising, like 1089 and 1206, but unless conditions improve markedly in the next few minutes, this will be a dud morning. Even 1475 is hardly there. Nick

Re: [IRCA] Tower height vs power

I know that the present discussion concerns antenna height in degrees and not actual physical height. A full wave tower, of course, would be 360 degrees tall. And a 5/8 wave would be 225 degrees. But the physical height would depend on the frequency. I thought that some of you might be

To Mike in St Isa,AB from Bill in Vic BC, If that was KKat with the CW on 860 then it looks like they don't need a lot of power to cover some distance since their nite output is only 196 watts,if that's correct.Otherwise it would be 10K,which would be more realistic. 73s

Re: [IRCA] Tower height vs power

Thanks Patrick. Interesting, when 620 Portland left the towers in North Portland to be diplexed with KEX 1190 (200'), the coverage dropped quite a bit. CC then applied for 25/10 KW for 620. They now have the best signal of any Portland area station on the coast except for KEX 1190 (50 KW) nights.
