[IRCA] Tps 3 MW+3 long-wave 0945 UTC
Good Morning, Just got back yesterday from a one week stay in Southern Calfiornia. Spent one night in Vacaville, CA and heard two TPs. 594 JOAK 774 JOUB both with weak signals. Stayed in Yorba Linda in Southern Calfornia and the two TP's heard were 774 JOUB HLAZ 1566. Both fair to weak at times and heard most mornings about 1300 UTC. Toured the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Admired the long wire antennas that were strung between the two masks towering above the ship. Looked into the radio room through the window and noticed the amatuer equiptment that the Long Beach amatuer club uses. They have beams and other amatuer antennas placed on the ship. Only one old tube radio was seen, a SP-600 super pro. This morning at 0943 JOUB 774 was in with a good signal. 828 JOBB weak, HLAZ 1566 weak, Three long-waves of Radio Rossii on 153,180 279 heard with weak audio. Hope to DX a little lattter this morning.

Re: [IRCA] Local KAZA/1290 off
Santa Barbara is just a bit different...kinda like Haight-Ashbury meets Beverly Hills. They're pretty rare 250 miles to the north. KPAY/Chico puts out a helluva signal, and I'm in the crosshairs of KAZA/Gilroy. Its nice when they're off. Now if I could catch KNBR, KCBS or KGO off.

[IRCA] Local KAZA/1290 off
But still has OC running. Spotted: * KPAY/Chico CA (yawn) with Coast to Coast AM * KKDD/San Bernardino CA (yawn) with Radio Dizknee * KCUB/Tucson AZ with sports * KZSB/Santa Barbara CA (all 122 watts of it) with BBC news Lotsa hets, audio on 774 and 1242. Judging by the sound of it, its possible that 693 might break through XETRA/CBU (if adjacent 50KW KNBR @ 22 miles allows it).

Mike, Good description of Santa Barbara. More specifically, is it rich drug addicts or just rich hippies? hi. Do sound the alarm if any of those stations are off (which I'm sure you will).

Re: [IRCA] TP for 10-31
As I sit here in the shadow of Graceland, enviously reading about the guys on the west coast hearing TPs almost every morning, I observe that I see far fewer reports of TAs being heard by others on the east coast. I'm curious ... are the TAs heard that much less frequently than TPs? If so, I wonder why? Or are there just fewer people either listening for TAs ... or reporting them? I'd enjoy hearing some thoughts from our seasoned transoceanic listeners on this, especially since I'm much more likely to hear TAs than TPs. Thanks.

Re: [IRCA] 810 KLDC
Thanks to Patrick, Kaz, and Bruce for the replies on this. So not that new then. I did notice they had a annoucements about being a new more powerful station. The numbers didn't reflect it, but conditions seemed semi-auroral at the time, as I was also getting Mexico on 800 coming up over CHAB from SK. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore ,AB Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW wrote: Hi Nigel. I don't remember the exact date that KLDC switched from 800 to 810. But it was several months ago. They also built a new 4-tower transmitter site and became a split-site operation at that time. There is some confusion about which site is the day site and which is the night site. What the CE told me is the opposite of what the FCC data shows. One of these days I need to get over there and verify which is which. The new site is co-located at the KLZ / 560 transmitter site about 15 miles closer to Denver than the old site which is just northwest of Brighton.

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs
Asian conditions excellent today, with 10 Japanese LF beacons heard--far more than ever before, with several new ones. MW audio good on 594 at 1205 utc, with many strong hets; then again around 1415 utc at sunrise and after, 594 along with 531 with Asian talk. 531 is my best MW channel, being mostly clear and easy to hear weak audio; no nearby TIS/HAR either. 531 finally faded out around 1445 utc. 747 and 774 are covered with IBOC garbage now, though the hets are easily heard in CW mode. 1566 also good audio today.
