[IRCA] Antennas

Greetings everyone, Well the two EWE's are back up and going. I was up the tree in the backyard 3 times yesterday. Then in the afternoon inbetween service calls, I got the first 450-500 feet of the Eastern beverage up. But what a job, more ladders and trees to climb. One thing I have had trouble

Re: [IRCA] IMAGES THINGS IBOC

WWDB 860 Philadelphia is not audible under the Baltimore station here in Harrisburg Pennsylvania and the Baltimore station isn't all that strong either. However, the IBOC noise from WWDB can easily be heard above and below 860. I mentioned this on another list and someone mentioned that he

I checked with my friend who's lived in Arkansas his whole life and has worked in radio there for about ten years. Turns out.. he used to work at KFPW as the General Sales manager. He tells me: The owner/GM is Bill or Karen Pharis... The CE is Jim Barnes Hope this helps! Paul Walker

Re: [IRCA] 1330 KCKM Monahans, TX

KCKM 1330 is in part owned by Jerry Kiefer, Chief Engineer at KCKN-AM 1020.. one of the nicest guys and smartest engineers Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting in person. They did ALOT of work on KCKM (Ex KLBO). I think KCKM and KCKM are a simulcast between 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7am, but I

I was tuned to 1330 this morning at 7;50am CST and I heard the usual KVOL in Lafayette LA and KNSS Wichita KS. There was this country station with many mentions of downtown Roswell and using slogans of Kickin Country. Checking all the usual reference guides nothing matched. Around 08:20am nice

Re: [IRCA] The SRF-59's First Kill

-- Good Day, SRF-M37V worked well for me on the coast at Westport, WA. No local stations and selectivity was not a big concern. In the high rf powered area I live in, it's a problem. Some stations can be heard up to 30 hz away. Moving the radio and tilting it can help some. Waiting for

Powell, Dennis and Bert, Thanks for your comments. I agree with Dennis that the SRF-M37V is a very fun radio to use, once you get away from the cities. It has great digital convenience, can store the 9 kHz splits in memory, and if somebody timed it right in Grayland (during a
