[IRCA] TP 9 Aug Victoria version

In contrast to Gary's experiences at Rockwork 4, this morning's experience in Victoria was almost exclusively Asian, and the best so far this season, with a couple of Chinese for certain, and hints of several others among the many carriers pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by

Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Confirms S9 Reception

Great going Gary. 2WEB used to be common, but that was years ago. They had a nice card in the 80s. I've got the Eastern Beverage and the NW EWE now working after the storms last Summer. This Fall I am getting the SW EWE back up. The noise level of late has dropped off, so maybe I can finally

Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Confirms S9 Reception

Thanks Patrick, We hope you can get back into Pacific DXing, now that your antennas are being repaired. Actually the first time I heard 585-2WEB was on the beach at Seaside in July of 2010, using a 3' portable box loop and PL-380. That signal was pretty strong for the basic equipment (once

Re: [IRCA] TIS List

Note that there are two Flight 93 TIS's. One at each entrance. They give the location as Somerset or Bradford in their ID's if I recall. 73 KAZ On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 7:08 AM, James Renfrew wrote: > Thanks! > > I finished out the night with the Flight 93 TIS in

[IRCA] S.AZ TPs, August 10

Two stations with audio this morning; lots of hets including expanded band. 657 with female vocal pop music, very poor 1249 utc. 1566 presumed HLAZ poor/weak 1241 utc continuing on past 1245 if it's still supposed to switch pattern. Steve AA7U near Sahuarita, AZ R75; west DKAZ + FLG100

Re: [IRCA] S.AZ TPs, August 10

Good to hear that the band is livening up, Steve; first glance here in Victoria revealed another Asian morning, but not as vigorous as yesterday. Details this evening. Re HLAZ.it changes to the Japanese pattern / program at 1230UT, then back to to Chinese at 1345UT. You might hear it

[IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

About a week ago I noticed that WCPT 820 had a horrible echo effect in their audio. I don't know when it started as I don't check this frequency that often. This echo went on for a few more days until I finally notified the station by e-mail. And, a day and a half later their audio problem is

Re: [IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

Speaking as a DX'er and a broadcaster of 14 years... I've had listeners call me and tell me one of my stations had a problem. For instance, I answered the phone at WKBI/WDDH once and had a listener tell me "The music on classy 1400 is playing under the news" I said "thanks, let me run and look

Re: [IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

I agree with both of you. Not everybody - in any field - is going to go the extra mile for their employer. Some people are there just for the check. I've unfortunately worked with some of those. The main reason I opted out of management 15 years ago was that only maybe half of the people who

Re: [IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

Paul, Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One winter, the weekend afternoon jock forgot to change to our directional pattern, and the six-to-midnight jock neglected to either check it or change it. I wasn't on duty yet, but I answered the phone while a taped public-service

Re: [IRCA] TIS List

good, I knew there were two, but didn't know they have separate location ID's. I'll listen for more detail tonight. Not easy because the male voice is kinda flat compared to the other two. Jim Renfrew On Aug 10, 2017 13:29, "Neil Kazaross" wrote: Note that there are two

[IRCA] WKBA 1550

2 or 3 nights in the last week I heard WKBA 1550 Vinton VA on well after sunset, pretty close to 11pm or so each night. The english preaching is real easy to pick out of the mush with french CBEF 1550 Windsor, Ontario. I sent an email to the station and below is my email to them and their

[IRCA] 1710 QSL

I sent a report to the 1710 Springfield Armory on its web its comment section and received a confirmation just now by e-mail. Response from Alexander MacKenzie, Curator. Just about the shortest QSL I've ever had: "Yes! You got us - that's our radio broadcast." I did verify WLIB back in the

Re: [IRCA] TIS List

Thanks! I finished out the night with the Flight 93 TIS in Pennsylvania. A new one here. Hard to identify because the lower male voice was l muddled compared to Hudson and Springfield. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY On Aug 10, 2017 07:26, "Kraig" wrote: >

[IRCA] Misc MW info and Football

My wife and I were in Sequoia a week and a half ago and I was able to listen to some AM stations including this possible slogan change. 1370 KGEN Tulare CA using La Ley slogan and announcing 94.5 FM. And a local format change. 900 KALI West Covina CA heard last night in Chinese with ToH ID for

[IRCA] UN'ID 1390

Someone on 1390 is playing oldies rock n roll oldies .. and I can't tell for sure but it sounds like it's seguing without liners. Signal always fades and WNIO 1390 takes over as a song is ending. Could WFBL Syracuse NY be back on air? ___ IRCA

[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 8-9

The ninth and final session of the Rockwork 4 DXpedition (yesterday morning) featured more exciting DU propagation, with another monster signal from 558-Fiji, a new Oz 558 co-channel with a rock format, the best signal ever from the 1 kW 936-Chinese Voice and the first FSL logging of the 2 kW

Re: [IRCA] Policing the AM BCB

WTEL 610 Philadelphia was overmodulating by 200-300% for a good year or two before they finally fixed it. I complained - never got any response. Using 110+ khz bandwidth on peaks. Now they finally stopped and stopped using IBOC so I'm very happy. I'm guessing lots of automated stations make
