Bill,
I watched the tribute on Hal on KTLA the other night. KTLA ran the
tribute ad free too. I did record it. He will be missed. I am watching
KTLA as I type this. as much as I enjoy their news, it will not be the
same without Hal.
Besides losing Hal, we also lost Larry McCormick a couple
670UNID, station o/u KBOI at 1345 EDT 8/10 with Christian sounding
choral music off Eastern beverage. I have heard KLTT during the day
before, but not this early in the season. Nothing else fits. (PM-OR)
I noticed KIDO-580 and KGVW-640 also better than usual. It looks like it
may be a good

several days. Carriers heard were 558, 567, 576, 585, 693, 747, 774, 828 and
846. No audio was heard and all carriers were weak. The other day I put in 9
feet of copper water pipe for my ground for my receiver and it
Bill,
Great going on your new copper pipe. In the dry areas, the more copper
in the ground the better. Sounds like you are on to a good DX season
too. After hearing choral mx o/u KBOI a bit ago, which presumed to
KLTT, and it is only mid August. I am looking forward to a good season

Hello Patrick,
As I recall during our visit to Astoria/Seaside yesterday, the TIS/HAR
stations audible at Castle Rock had completely changed compared to last
month. The 540 station, which previously had a brush fire warning, was
replaced
by a NOAA radio relay from Olympia, relating
I'll take that one, and that one, and
Much thanks, I will call you this night/weekend.

I'm getting a level 3 carrier on 540. No audio. Time is 1605 EDT. Will
continue listening.

I ran SpecLab this evening so see if I could detect the carrier of 740
kHz Radio Sociedade da Bahia (Salvador, Brazil) and it came up
beautifully, almost as if it had been switched on, at sunset in Salvador:

Waking up late, I probably missed the peak of the TP signals, but many weak

Patrick, are you saying you had both CBC stations
A new TIS station heard on 1610, WQCA 312 City of Gresham, Or. Fair signal at
1845 EDT. Long 15 minute loop, even NOAA weather forecast given. Not very
good audio, but decent signal. 18 miles away, across the Columbia river. New
one here.

Gary,
It was great meeting you and your family too! Thanks so much for the
Sony S5W. A great little radio. I have had a chance to compare it to the
Super Radio 1 and it is a hair better in many cases as the selectivity
is sharper. The Sensitivity is close to the same. In tuning in KSTP 1500

Dennis,
I can still hear the HAR in there, but CBXQ is playing music // 690 and
wipes out the HAR audio enough not to beable to understand it. It is a
woman with wx, and CBK is bringing up the rear with talk.
This is at 1946 UTC.

There are three stations on 540 I am getting, CBXQ-540 // to 690, the
HAR (presumed Castle Rock) and CBK. I get CBXQ and CBK here year around
during the day.

Patrick (and Dennis, Paul, and Walt):
Regarding the Castle Rock-540 TIS, I should have mentioned that the
NOAA weather (etc.) announcer was indeed female, and that the sign for this
station appeared just north of Castle Rock as we were southbound on I-5,
confirming that the location

And the same is true for wet areas. Ground conductivity is not directly
determined by wetness but rather by the materials in the soil.
Water helps dissolve conductive minerals and improve ground conductivity,
but if there are no minerals to produce ions to provide conductivity then

Hi everyone,
After I read about Bill Block's addition of a new 10 foot piece of
copper pipe pounded into the ground for his receiver there in Prescott
Valley AZ, this morning I stopped by a lumberyard in Gearhart (near
Seaside), and picked up one 10 foot piece of copper pipe like I have

Chuck,
You are right. The ground conductivity is poor along the coast, but it
is great in the direction of the West with the ocean. Maybe that is why,
the stations to the East do not QRM as much here, plus the mountains.
I added a new 10 foot copper pipe for the receiver ground today. I
don't
One thing I have noticed with all of the extra grounding I have done
with the EWEs, beverages, and the receivers, the noise level is less and
directivity seems to have improved overall. There are a lot of extras
with have good grounding.
