How could I miss HLAZ? Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 1566 HLAZ man in Chinese 1415UT.The accompanying piano music almost sounded like another station though? best wishes, Ni

[IRCA] TP 16 Mar Victoria version

Fairly dead at 1300UT, barring a few squeaks from the low band big guns, but things took off a bit after 1410UT, lasting until around 1430UT. Not a huge number of stations, but some Chinese among them, and fairly erratic. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker

That lasted for only about 15 minutes. Back to the usual silence of the TAs by 0450UT I'd been keeping half an ear on things here in Victoria, but got caught by surprise 0423UT, when audio traces turned up on 1215kHz. Man talking at 0426UT, quite weak, but likely English and into mus

Re: [IRCA] dx dead spots

A few years back, I left Brainerd, MN and drove counter-clockwise through North Dakota and then South Dakota toward Mpls. and couldn’t believe how well KFGO-790 got out. Years before that, while driving in Kansas, I remember WNAX-570 bangin’ in pretty well. Nice ground systems indeed... Pete Tay

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question

My old 65 Rambler, 1970 Impala, as well as the 89 & 97 Caravans all had good radio in them. There are radios out there that are sensitive, but getting one to fit the dash may be another issue. Internet radio is not practical on the coast. Unless I go with a carrier like Verizon, the others a

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question

I am not hearing noise on the radio. That issue has been solved. Infact both the 89 & 97 Dodge Caravans I always had some ignition noise (spark plus, etc), but the radio in the 2014 is fairly quiet on AM, but some not very sensitive. Of course if I increase the sensitivity, possibly the the car

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question

It is nice to know that some later car radios have decent AM sections. I do have my Sony HD radio I could install, but it would not fit with the the dash well. hi. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: IRCA on behalf of Stan Horzepa Sent: Wednesd

Re: [IRCA] OT 2014 Dodge Caravan radio question

Karl, I did have the noise problem with the radio, but found the regular hood mounted steel whip was loose. I tightened it down and suddenly the noise is gone, but the AM section is not very sensitive. A far cry from my 1997 or 1989. I think I will try to extend the whip a foot or two higher w
