[IRCA] Fun and Frivolity with KHMO
As someone who has had the pleasure to work in broadcasting for several years, I, like others on this list, am able to see this from "both sides of the fence". Seems the responsible thing from the broadcaster's perspective is to politely let the station know when these things happen, if you are so inclined. And the smart thing to do (from a DXers perspective), is to not to e-mail the DX lists about it - unless someone wants to deal with the blowback. 73, J.D.

Frankly, I don't care that DX'ers have "taken me to task" and chastised me, because as a responsible broadcaster, I did the right thing. Most of those who've criticized me (except Fred and Les) don't work in radio currently.. and have no idea what its like to be on this side of the fence. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.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
Re: [IRCA] KNZZ Log East of the Mississippi

Mark Durenberger I logged 'em on a DX test I arranged back in the 90's. I seem to remember there were numerous other DXers East of the Mississippi that did, too. I think someone arranged another test from 'em a year or so later, and it, too was well-heard in the Eastern U.S. 73, J.D.

[IRCA] KOTZ-720 Kotzebue Local Time is ....
From: Chernos Saul To: , , , Subject: [IRCA] DX TEST - KOTZ 720 Alaska Idaho not good enuf for ya easterners? Paul Walker reports on the following DX Test, and it's probably closer to >Russia than Sarah Palin's back doorstep. I think even western DXers will find this one a challenge. Given that the >Chigago Three were on all night last night, here's hoping the Chicago transmitter work proceeds as planned the >morning of Saturday March 10. There's just two matters to resolve - defining the time zone where the station is >located, and figuring out how that translates into UTC, CST, EST, PST etc And determining if e-mail QSL requests (leading to eQSLs of course) are acceptable. Paul and I came up with conflicting times and I'm not convinced either of >is right. So from Paul (with thanks): Saturday March 10th 12am to 1230am local time According to greenwichmeantime.com , Kotzebue is GMT-9 until March 11th, when it's local time will be GMT-8. This means it will still be GMT-9 there on the date of the test. 73, J.D.

Re: [IRCA] Chicago Stations Off Air Recap Request?
From: Les Rayburn To: a...@nrcdxas.org Subject: [IRCA] Chicago Stations Off Air Recap Request? I have about thirty e-mails in my inbox devoted to discussions about the Chicago station off-air periods, and DX tests scheduled during that time period. Hate to ask those who have already done so much, but could someone tackle putting these events into a single "recap" e-mail that DX'ers can print out for reference? I'm just struggling to get a decent antenna into place by then. I agree. It does all seem a little chaotic. I also could use a concise snapshot of just what's going to hapopen with not only the stations who will be silent (and when), but the stations that have actually agreed to a test. Can anyone help? Maybe even post this on the web? 73, J.D.
