There are some other names I would add to Harry Helms list of, not necessarily fathers of DX but those who have helped, in Harry's words, create today's DX hobby. Bob Cooper, no relation to Dick or Ernie, is the TV-FM DX guru. Cooper founded the American Ionospheric Propagation Association (which later became the Worldwide Television FM-TV DX Assocation) in 1954, and in 1960, he established DXing Horizons Magazine, which was for a time the home of Ken Boord's SWBC work. Cooper was a pioneer in the cable TV industry, which started as a means of importing signals from distant on-air TV stations into remote, otherwise unserved areas. I recall that one of Cooper's DXing Horizons editors was Glen Kippel, a Colorado broadcaster and engineer whom I convinced the manager of KTUE, Tulia, Texas, to hire. Later Glen worked at KIXZ in Amarillo with two other fellow NRC'ers, John Tudenham and Jerry Hickman. Another DXing Horizons columnist was Bruce Elving, whose FM Atlas is the FM equivalent of the NRC Log. Elving is another who deserves to be on the list of those who are responsible for helping to create today's DX hobby. I first met Bruce at the NRC's 1991 Omaha convention, where he was invited to speak about FM DX, and again at the 2002 WTFDA convention in Yukon, Oklahoma. His monthly newsletter is one of the mainstays of available information on the FM end of the broadcast industry. Chip Kelly, a Dallas area resident, founded 10watts, which Scott Fybush now operates since it has become an arm of Clear Channel's M Street Journal. I enjoyed photographing a historic first meeting of Fybush and Kelly in the DFW area in 2002 during a tower-hunting expedition. Fybush's Tower of the Week website is one of the fun stops on my Internet favorite tab. The information source Kelly invented and Fybush now oversees put both of these gentlemen on my list of current hobby stalwarts. John Bryant, retired architecture department professor at Oklahoma State, compiler of an updated list of Japanese BCB stations, author of a history of Zenith radios, one of today's top BCB antenna researchers and DXpedition users, and one of five founders of Corazon-DX, a website that deals with Mexican AM stations, goes on my list. So does Jerry Berg, a Connecticut attorney, who, with Don Jensen, kept up the Numero Uno mailing list up until a couple of years ago, and who has established a mechanism for preserving historic verifications, deserves mention. So do Wayne Heinen, who so capably compiles and edits the NRC Log; Fred Vobbe, who for a couple of decades has made the hobby available to the visually handicapped via NRC's monthly DX Audio Service tapes; Paul Swearingen, who has set a longevity record as publisher of NRC's DX News (however galling that may be to some on this list); and Kevin Redding, who spends many hours making this valuable information source available to the hobby, also are on my list of DX Hobby Heroes. It's been a labor of love on the part of everyone Harry and I have mentioned in this thread and I hope, despite what Harry refers to as some very bad blood between some of the names on his list of nine, I hope that today, no blood will either boil or flow!

Jones, owner of a station in Cuba, was introduced in the Aug. 5, 1922 edition of Radio Broadcasting News.`` Ah yes, Frank Jones.

Gee John, it sure would be great if someone (hint, hint) could begin compiling some of these great stories and biographies. I remember many of these names from the 60s and 70s but was just a pup at the time. It would be a nice legacy to leave when we've all propagated for the last time (become the ultimate groundwaves???).

WFIL-560 was heard before the test from 0450-0500 ELT with Delaware Valley This Week talk show and religious promos, and during the test from 0500-0510 and 0520-0537 with voice IDs, jingles, solid, sweep, step, pulse, oscillating, and telephone tones, and Morse code letter. Signal strong and very steady, nearly alone on the frequency. Just a hint of signal strength drop at the switch from the 5 kW day directional to the 5 kW non-directional pattern at 0530. WNTP-990 was much more challenging due to the overwhelming 50 kW signal of CKGM just 65 miles north. Tried for WNTP from 0510-0520 during their 50 kW day directional pattern to no avail.

So I believe they haven't change to their night time pattern.

Re: [IRCA] The real deal on 1610
OK, now for the obvious but probably stupid question: any chance we can get a QSL for whatever/whoever this is? Jim Pogue Memphis - Original Message - From: Powell E. Way III W4OPW [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, December 1, 2006 1:31 pm Subject: [IRCA] The real deal on 1610 To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com From Kent Winrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK folks, here is what I can give you on the 1610 signal. First of all it is a legit and approved signal. It is for antenna testing and is running 10kW on the East Coast. It is strictly a 1kHz tone. There will be nothing else transmitted. So you dont need to look for any FSK. The 1610 signal is now off the air, but there is more fun to be had. Starting this morning (Friday) at 0900 (EST) the antenna testing will resume on 1020 and will run until 0700 Sunday morning. The 1020 signal will be shut down Sunday at 0700. Tuesday look for the signal on 590 at 0900 (EST) and run until 0700 Friday. Friday will finish the antenna testing. We would be most interested in any FIM readings you get including location, date, and time. If you dont have a FIM, an RS(T) report would be great. Again include date, time, location and a general report. Any audio reports would be fun (heck I am a DXer after all) If you have any readings from the 1610 signal, please feel free to forward them to me. I took a reading at Fayetteville, NC yesterday at 1300 EST and got a 700uV.

Re: [IRCA] New MW QSL
Thanks Patrick - yes, the QSLs are slow but reasonably steady so far this season. With my new phaser courtesy of Brandon Jordan I'm hearing lots of new stuff. Sorry to hear about all your storm damage up there. Glad it wasn't any worse for you. With winds like that, I think the rest of the country would have called it a hurricane! 73s and gud DX, Jim - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Patrick Martin) Date: Friday, November 17, 2006 11:51 am Subject: Re: [IRCA] New MW QSL To: irca@hard-core-dx.com (Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America) Great going Jim.

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.

[IRCA] Maybe they'll find some QSL cards that never got delivered
Mailman's death shrouded in mystery of mail he left behind BROOKLINE, Mass. - For 20 years, Alan Gagne delivered mail to a tree- lined neighborhood here - but not all of it. The postal service said Tuesday he tucked away thousands of circulars and hundreds of letters in drawers and closets in his apartment. The authorities discovered the mail Friday when a supervisor, who worried when Gagne did not show up for work, found him dead in his apartment on the same street where he made his rounds in this affluent suburb. The Boston Globe reported the discovery Tuesday. Some of the mail dates from the 1980s, said Robert Cannon, a spokesman for the postal service, and about 90 percent of it was circulars flagged as undeliverable because of an address change. The postal service is trying to deliver the first-class letters and cards, none of which were opened, to their rightful recipients, but is having trouble because the letters are so old. Cannon said officials do not know why Gagne kept the mail, and probably never would. There appeared to be no rhyme or reason as to how, when, or where he took the mail or why he was holding onto it, Cannon said. Stealing mail is a federal offense, but the death voids all charges, he said. It's tragic, unfortunate and bizarre. Gagne, 54, lived on the bottom floor of a yellow duplex on a quiet tree-lined street filled with parents pushing strollers. A bachelor, he moved from an apartment around the corner a few years ago, neighbors said, and apparently took the mail with him. He was occasionally spotted at a nearby coffee shop and the grocery store, but he and his habits were as much of a mystery in life as they are in death. Neighbors said Gagne was somewhat of an enigma, barely looking people in the eye but seemingly obsessed with getting the mail to them properly and on time, leaving them all the more baffled as to how and why he took the mail. When you went away on vacation he would leave photocopied notes in his unusual, hard-to-read scrawl that you should check your mail carefully because there might be a problem, said Jonathan Sandler, 35, who was walking by Gagne's Linden Street apartment with his wife and 20-month-old son. He said Gagne was the best, most thorough mailman he had ever had. Al was the mail. Gagne was, by many accounts, socially awkward and had problems striking up even casual conversations. He was often heard mumbling to himself along the route and complained about how heavy the mailbag was. Being social was extremely difficult for him, said Jeff Kline, who lives on the street. He would answer if I spoke to him, but he wouldn't strike up a conversation. It was even difficult to tip him, Kline added. I would sort of press a twenty into his hand and he'd look away. It was very hard for him to look you in the eye. Rebecca Scudiere, 25, a medical student who lives in the street's only large apartment building, said she and her roommates often found their mail was late and, Thursday, received a large bundle of unsorted mail. She said she had been creeped out by a conversation with Gagne, whom she saw every day but only acknowledged her once. I was getting my mail at the same time he came and he said, Who's your mail from, your boyfriend? I'd take you out,' she said. Aside from that he was never friendly. Neighbors said they are more sad than angry about the situation. I should be rightfully angry, but I'm surprised. I'd be surprised if anything of value was taken, Kline said. I find myself being much more sad that he could have done this and his life had to be that way than mad that he took circulars. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
