[IRCA] 940 in Mexicali
Hi all, I had dismissed this station, thinking it was probably bend Oregon, or something like that, but apparently, the 940 in Fresno is off tonight, and I found out that x e m m m at 940 in Mexicali is oldies, but there doesn't seem to be any internet stream, though before the song on a carousel by the hollies, I heard a phone number, 552-4500, and one of their jingles takes from the song, baby I'm yours, by Barbara Lewis, and where the pause is, the girls sing nueve cuarenta. Now, there's another Spanish station on 940, that I've heard as fiesta mexicana, which I figured was Mexicali, but apparently, it isn't, so I wonder if there's a way to get 940 in Mexicali to start streaming, or, is there a way to have a person make an mp3 of it, and use something like you send it to get it to me, because it sounded pretty interesting, though there were some awful remakes of stuff, like the remake of sealed with a kiss by Brian Hyland, and heart aches by the number, by Guy Mitchell, but when I was down in the imperial valley in 2003, 940 was fiesta mejicana, and still, on google, it is listed that way, which isn't true anymore.

[IRCA] DX 11/7 & 8
Surprise logging on car radio 11/7 1700 PST. Usually if KPIG-1510 fades during sunset skip, KGA comes barreling in. This time, no more than a whisper from KGA, and KFNN-1510 ruled the roost instead. New logging. On 11/8, 1400 UT, thought I had China on 945, but instead surprise NHK pips on the hour. 4 syncros listed, combined power = 10kw. At 1300 UT I was on 927 again, but could get no conclusive evidence as to who was putting in the substantial carrier. It was a work day, but I could not pass up the low A-index.

Re: [IRCA] KKOL
I'm also in northeast Seattle, where KKOL is noticeably weaker than the Vashon Island stations. KKOL is about 15db/S9, compared to 25-40db/S9 for the Vashoners(570 710 770 820 950 1000 1090) and 5-10 db/S9 for KKMO-1360. 1310 & 1290 are only about 5-10 db weaker than KKOL, with very little splatter from KKOL. While driving home from work tonight, I had another station (probably KAPL) in the background, sometimes almost equal to KKOL. This was around 5 pm along Highway 520 and to my home nearthe U of W.

Re: [IRCA] WTWP has shut off IBOC
The more TeamBLOC talks, the more they sound like grifters. Dissemblings more preposterous than ever. Latest re 'twenty year return' is absurd. Analong's elegant simplicity is what makes it durable in face of constant innovation. Compelling programming would heliarc it into permanence. But high-viscosity BigKorpseorate dullards believe talent is unnecessary. By the by, latest R/W issue suggests 'Fatso' underwent Hi-Fibre & Grecian Formula Makeover upon leaving NAB for private piratical pursuits. Impressive. Life's truth's are simple - bad form to flaunt what you have. I don't have hair. I keep it short to avoid any suggestion, however slight, of flaunting my hairjob. Rest assured, had I a bouffant of the sort obnoxiously flicked about by Bubba Bullshale, I would not color, dye, or otherwise augment it. The 'Yul Brynner Final Solution" remains the only course of action open to me. So what's with 'Fatso'? Does Grecian Formula (r) and a stint at Dr. Kellog's Clinique d'Colonique somehow convey success inevitable? As for iBLOC, VladMart selling boxloads of nifty $5 AM/FM 'Sport Radios' which seem somewhat waterproof. Five bucks and they probably pull decent DX in their own right and run forever on batteries. iBLOC? To paraphrase Sunny vonBulow's loyal servant, Maria Schrallhammer; "For what iBLOC?"

Re: [IRCA] TP 8 Nov
Similar results this morning down here in southern Alberta. Around 80 carriers noted, including some decent ones on generally unproductive frequencies. Audio noted on 531, 594, 693, 702, 747, 774, 1179, 1242, 1422, 1566.Also likely that I was hearing KYUK on 640 as I heard a clear NPR ID at 1430, and I don't know of any other NPR stations on 640. LW was unproductive, with only weak audio on 279 noted. As far as tonight goes, in spite of continued good numbers, only a few feeble TA carriers noted, considerably weaker than last night. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Don Moman VE6JY wrote: >Very respectable morning here, 71 carriers without using Spectran, 531 >702 774 1287 1503 1539 1566 1575 with audios and others close to audio > >Don > >Near Edmonton, 1300 foot JA beverage, IC 7800 > >-Original Message- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Hall-Patch >Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 2:51 PM >To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America >Subject: [IRCA] TP 8 Nov > > >Quiet conditions, looks like there might be some good listening >building at 1450UT.

[IRCA] Good cx tonite in IL
Better sunset skip cx to west than could normally be expected this early in Nov. Another tentative for KKIM 1000 with rlg mx thru phased WMVP but they switched at 17:59 CST prior to any ID. All kinds of typical western sunset skip stuff hrd due to phasing. On the TA front, things like Ireland 567, Spain 684, Azores 693, Croatia 1134 are audible on my western antennas which are setup to have decent nulls to the E and certainly don't favor NE and ENE stuff.

Re: [IRCA] WTWP has shut off IBOC

Need I mention WTMJ's IBOC coming on in the morning and wrecking any attempts to get a bit of audio out of what should be the strong Aussie on 612.

[IRCA] Vry Nice, Bottom to Top: TPs, Nov 8
Gee, it was like mid-October. Virtually all of the usual suspects were there, and the upper band was more active hat I've seen it inna couple of weeks. 43 in audio, overall. Most of the usual JJs, KKs and even CCs. 567, NHK1, Sapporo is usually only threshold audio on good mornings. It was the strongest of the season. 612 remained at just below language recognition and I really couldn't tell, but it seemed EE/DU. There was also that same level on 1098, presumed Taiwan most likely the best of the season for that one. 1134 showed well, as did 1206, both of which are usually blotted out here by adjacent Vancouver stations. 1251 showed the first decent audio in many days, though it was only threshold. and 1377, CNR1 and 1503 Japan were doing excellently an unusual event this late in the season. Finally, 1593 was in some form of Chinese, not parallel to CNR, so it was almost certainly unneeded Heilongjiang first time in decent audio in a long while. Very nice way to start the day!

Re: [IRCA] KKOL
If KKOL is not coming in well in northeast Seattle, but you know that they are operating from the Tacoma site, you've got good evidence that they are on night pattern. It's not ironclad evidence, but if the day pattern were running, I would expect you to report a good signal (though perhaps not a great one). The night pattern is narrower than the day pattern and is centered on the northwest. The day pattern is broader and is centered on the northeast. Fading is a possibility in your location because the short towers produce lots of high-angle radiation, but regular rapid fades (you said that you wondered whether there was a SAH between the ship-based Tx and the land-based facility) seem unlikely to me. -- Dan Strassberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: 1-707-215-6367 ___ 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

Good Morning, Did not get to the dials until 1426 UTC. Conditions were not that good, even strong Japanese power-houses were weak. 594 & 693 were not heard at all. Right before 1500 UTC the upper band came alive. The small Japanese stations came in 1386-1404-1413 & 1503, weak but with JJ and a mostly playing music. China 1305 CNR2 was in with weak audio, but signal was stronger than the SW // 4460. It's now 1524 UTC with HLAZ 1566 fading out.

[IRCA] TP for 11-8
It was a very good day for TP stations with audio on 594, 648, 693, 747, 756, 774, 828, 864, 963, 972, 1026, 1044, 1053, 1188, 1422, 1566. My far the best was 1566 with 648 a close second. When I first turned on the radio at 1305 the only station to be heard was 1566 with a fair signal. The band came alive at 1335 with some of the best signals of the year.

Re: [IRCA] 1140 unid
Update on this. I listened at sunrise each of the past 3 mornings across 0645. Each time I heard a band SSB @ 0645, followed by a male voice with ID and announcements ( but no FM mention ) for unneeded WCJW then immediately into country music. What I'd heard last week was a female voice, with a longer period of talk, possibly including Spanish, including an FM frequency, then into what might have been religious music. So the SSB from last week might have been WCJW or the other station. Adding to the mix, this morning around 0635-40, I had a "teaching & preaching" type of format poking through WRVA. Forgetting about PSRA's for a moment, that would only seem to fit WRNA-NC. But if I open up to PSA's, and broaden the format definition a bit there are other possibilities including WRLV-KY and WBXR-AL. I may be tuning 1140 for yet another week !

Re: [IRCA] KKOL
I've been trying for KKOL nightly with no luck since the IRCA contest started. Tonight they're coming in pretty well. KLER also coming in with C&W. As an extra added bonus, local KLOK/1170 (who beams right at me from 6 miles away) was doing talk with a lot of pauses, which enabled me to get KCBQ...virtually impossible here.

Re: [IRCA] KKOL
I'm in northeast Seattle, and found at 9 p.m. tonight that KKOL was weaker than before with--believe it or not--fading. It actually sounded like it was beating against another carrier, as if their ship carrier was still on. But I wasn't in a position to verify that, so chalked it up to fading. --Rick ___ 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

Hi Pete, KKOL is mostly dominant, here in NE Oregon, with KLER next in line underneath, and several others behind that.

Pete & Bruce, I normally don't log TIS stations on the odd frequencies within the broadcast band. I was quite surprised.
