A belated thank you to Craig and Walt for their DXpedition reports for this date. I'll round it out with a report from Tofino BC, using a NetSDR and ALA100 pair. First noted Tonga with quite a good signal, island music and talk before 0600UT. Then, after 1300UT quite a lot of Japanese,

Re: [IRCA] BEITC Preview: “FCC AM Revitalization — What It Is, the Impact and Consequences”

In the real world, culturally, AM passed its peak decades ago. For most people under a certain age, AM is either unknown or irrelevant. The industry seems to always have the same answers - more stations, more power, fewer regulations - the last being the staple of pretty much any industry you can

Free is always good. Like here we also have 5 Portland translators giving us 16 OTA TV channels for free. Radio is the same, however I think there are too many stations to support them all. I could have Sirius XM in the van, why bother? I have the radio & CD. I can record any music I want to

We appreciate the effort. Always nice to have a (rare these days) DX test, but sometimes it just isn't to be. Sad to see a legendary station like this one come to an end. That's our AM band, always in transition. Old stations go away and new ones are being born. Mike

My best two catches on the AM band are KCEY 1390, Turlock CA in February 1959. At that time I lived in Chesapeake, VA and was using a Hallicrafters S-120 with a simple long wire about 30 feet long and maybe 10 feet in the air. The verification letter (which I still have) states that I was the

Re: [IRCA] KICE Bend Joins Parade Of AMs Going Dark

Another one bites the dust...Even though 82% of people in cars listen to radio in a latest poll. However, it did not state AM or FM. With the economy and all there is just not enough ad money to go around. Here we still have the three AMs in the county, but two of them have FM Translators now.
