Re: [IRCA] All Christmas music formats
I'm sure most of us on these lists can't stand it either, since many of us are broadcasters and have had to sit through six hours of this stuff at a time. / Very true Bob. I guess I'm lucky that the group of stations that I work for haven't tried this. I'm also fortunate that one of our stations happens to be my personal favorite in the market. It's an added benefit to work at a station that you enjoy listening to. Shifts here range from 3 hours to 12 or more. I did a 14 this past weekend, took 8 off, and then came back for another 6. The boss thinks I'm dedicated. But I'm actually just greedy!

Re: [IRCA] [am] Current antenna projects
Your zigzag BOG idea is interesting, but I fear it will basically be a bunch of little BOGs in series and have poor directivity. I haven't read good things about zigzagged Bev-type antennas. However, if I had told people 6 years ago that I was going to replace my elevated 600 foot mini-Bevs (full Bevs at very high end) with BOGs many would have had my scheduled for a lobotomy. It is via experimentation that we learn new things in this hobby where much can still be a "black art". I don't think anything will be gained by zigzagging, but it is worth a try and I will mention that even a 200 ft BOG is decent for the very high end of BCB. 73 KAZ - Original Message - From: "Craig Healy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "am list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 10:32 PM Subject: [am] Current antenna projects > Current antenna projects include: > > 1.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] All Christmas music formats
I have nothing against Christmas music however I think the way the radio chooses to do it by going 24 hours a day with it as early as before Thanksgiving is nuts. I believe you gradually bring the Christmas music in starting at the beginning of December. On Christmas Eve, you go all Christmas music for 24 hours. On the other hand, a station declaring itself a Christmas-free zone is not such a bad idea.

Heard a relatively new TIS on 1700, presumed WQEL632 from Cape May, NJ. Clear mentions of Cape May, mainly listing upcoming events. Presumed 10 watts but low audio made copying it rough. Heard in Camden, Delaware on the car radio Dec. 13 at 1430 local. It's been an odd day, propagation-wise. WDNC-620 in Durham NC is in like a local at 1430 local., and even the strong local channels (680, 1150) had competition underneath at 2:00 PM local.

[IRCA] All Christmas music formats
There was an interesting story in the Business Review (Albany NY) on 12/8 about radio stations that switch to All Christmas / All The Time formats around Thanksgiving. The article says that about 370 stations nationwide make the switch each year. It quoted a media research firm who reviewed 119 FM stations that adopted this format in 2005. They found an average market share increase of 10% in both the adult age 25-to-54 and all listener over age 12 sections. Two Albany area stations mentioned in the article had adult 25-to-54 market share increases of 50% (WKLI) and 37.5% (WTRY) last year! Personally I can't stand this format. I have the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Christmas Album on CD. When I feel the need, I find that Colorado Christmas (with Alison Krauss helping out on vocals and John McEuen on banjo) once a week throughout December seems to satisfy all of my needs for Christmas music.

Re: [IRCA] 2007 WRTH
Mike, You're absolutely right. I completely overlooked the fact the price was marked as CDN$. I was actually looking at the package price for WRTH and Passport -- $35.38 vs CDN$39.63, both of which meet the super-saver criteria of the two sites for free shipping -- and when this is converted for the currency, the difference is a whopping 92 cents to the Canadian advantage. The "no biggey" becomes a "nothing at all" when it's all said and done. Shouldn't try to think so early in the morning, difficult enough at my best time of day. Thanks for setting me straight.

[IRCA] Felíz Navidád
I've been exploring Mexican station websites for inclusion in the information I'm compiling, and I've run across one from a station I'd be delighted to hear, that should get those of us who enjoy Mexican sounds in a felíz spirit for Navidád.

Re: [IRCA] TP's turned in early
We have been getting hammered with one Pacific storm after another - I am sure that Patrick Martin can attest to the ferocity of some of these systems. I have brought in all my ALA100 boxes after my balcony - garden installation was trashed for the 3rd time in as many weeks. This morning I had a fright that I am lost one of my ALA100 boxes over a 7th storey balcony. Was OK - it was just hidden behind the remains of a clay pot and mandarin plant... -- Colin Newell - in Victoria B.C.

Re: [IRCA] 2007 WRTH
The Amazon.ca price for the pair is about 4 bucks higher than the Amazon.com price, at least as shown to me here in the US by the two web sites. The super saver price minimum is also higher at Amazon.ca but since the prices are higher it is still just below the price of the two, which would still save shipping charges just as it does in the US. Not a biggey, but 4 bucks is 4 bucks. Curt --- W.
