Re: [IRCA] KVIP 540 kHz Coverage map

[Doug Pifer-desert4wd.com]

BTW, thanks for bringing this station up.  I've known about this station for 
a long time and I'm pretty sure? I caught this one from So. Cal.   I can't 
say I've logged them from here yet but I think the prognosis is good - 
sometimes I forget about 540hi.  The truth is, I always forget about 
sunrise DX! and I can mostly blame that on various noises that appear around 
0600.

Re: [IRCA] pattern maps for the rest of the world

[John H. Bryant]

Hey,

This is a great database, even if it just uses ITU 
submissions  its easily accessible, seems to pick up at least 
some directional patterns and can be searched not only by frequency 
but by network  I don't know if this will clear up and of the PAL 
Unknown Location sites in China, for instance, but its sure worth 
checking.  Excellent resource.  Thanks Nick!

[IRCA] 540 unid

[Doug Pifer-desert4wd.com]

Hi All,
Anything in the west broadcasting CW music on 540?  Earlier, I heard a 
little bit of probable KVIP-Redding, CA, but the noise is doing it's thing. 
CBK was in well earlier but is fading out/noise getting stronger.  The other 
factor is my local on 550 prevents me from looping anything except N/S.

Also... I may be late with this ?? but I noted XE calls in  Radio-Locator.

If you can get by KVI, you should hear CFWH. I have heard several times

Re: [IRCA] KVIP 540 kHz Coverage map

Hi all, on 540 in the day time, I get what appears to be a harmonic of
knbr, but a friend of mine theorizes this as being a translator, and
wonder if this is a translator, or a harmonic of 680?  660 has a
harmonic of ksfo, in the day time, and I wonder if this too is a
translator, or a harmonic of 560.  This from my location in Oakland

Re: [IRCA] KVIP 540 kHz Coverage map

[Michael Hawkins]

SPUR is probably a better word, as harmonics would have a relationship to the 
frequency of the station and the frequency of IF transformers.  I get KNBR on 
940 here.  At first I thought I was getting Bend OR at 3pm until I realized it 
was KNBR.  Where you are, also look for KFAX on 1000 and KGO in various places.

Spur probably isn't the right word, since that would refer to an actual 
off-frequency transmission coming from KNBR, and they run a pretty clean 
shop there.

More likely, I'd suspect, is a simple case of receiver front-end 
overload, which is creating these images on frequencies where they don't 
really exist.

had weak to very weak audio at times on 747,774, 828 and 1287; not on 1566 
though. Various carriers also. 

Dennis...NHK2 signs off at 1500UT on Sunday and Monday mornings our time; the

generally takes 5 minutes or so...the restful chimes can put you back to sleep

[IRCA] NHK2 S/OFF

[Pete Taylor]

Nick,

Do they list all the call letters at s/off or at some other time?  
1640UT is 8:40am here, well after LSR and the time all the locals  
power up.

Re: [IRCA] KNBR-940

[Glenn Hauser]

KNBR on 940 would be a leapfrog mixing product, as I like to call them On SW,
of 680 over KGO 810, a further 130 kHz. Are the KGO and KNBR sites close enough
to interact? It could be an external mixing product, not necessarily
receiver-produced front-end overload. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK

This is a classic example of a sum-and-difference spur. These can be
caused by interaction between transmitters close in both frequency and
proximity; from re-radiation from any number of possible metallic
onjects in the local area; or from problems at the receiving site,
which could be in the receiver or in the antenna system.

If one is using a loop, antanna system problems are less likely, and if
the spur is nullable, it can be nulled toward the transmitters,
indicating the first option, or elsewhere, indicating the second. If it
isn't nullable, that's usually indicative that it's at the receiving
end.

Re: [IRCA] KNBR-940

[Michael Hawkins]

Glenn,
   
  I think you're right.  KGO is strong enough here (8 miles directly north, 
over water, in their beam) that they take out 800 and 820 and still heavily 
distort 790 and 830.  I am also about 10 miles SSE of KNBR with their 50KW ND 
antenna.  Needless to say, there's a bunch of non-existent things on the radio 
in this location.

[IRCA] Signal Harmonics

[bill kral]

Marty Duplicate signals heard on other freqs are more
than likely harmonics instead of signals coming from
repeaters since big city stations usually dont
transmit on alternate freqs in nearby smaller towns
unless it's a network set up to fill in deadspots
which is more commonly done by FM stations.These false
signals could be picked up by a tuner like the one in
the GE S R 3 which I have compared to the GE S R 1 and
noting that the 3 is not as finely calibrated as the
1. I recently lost a GE S R 1 to a windstorm which
sucked the receiver right off the window ledge of my
16th floor apt because  I left the window open.that
was a bad day for me but I now use a very selective
Grundig multybander for my AM dxing and happy to be
listening again. Bill in Vic BC

Re: [IRCA] KNBR-940

[Michael Hawkins]

KGO is on the Newark side of the Dumbarton Bridge, virtually surrounded by 
water.  KNBR is in Belmont, just east of US 101.  They are about 10-12 miles 
apart.
   
  I live in Campbell, just southwest of San Jose.  While both stations are very 
strong there, there is no interaction between them and no unusual byproducts.  
I work in Mountain View, in the shadow of NASA Ames' wind tunnel.  There, KGO 
is incredibly strong.  KNBR does not seem any stronger (a highly untechnical 
measurement), but there are definitely KNBR artifacts on several frequencies, 
the most noticable being on 940.  I also note that in Mountain View at 3:30pm, 
I can get San Diego, Los Angeles, Tijuana with ease.  Not so in Campbell.

more than one culprit on 1040.

[IRCA] KGO site

[Patrick Martin]

For those who have Scott Fybush's calendar, Frebruary 2007 has a
fantastic shot of the KGO site. What a beautiful shot. I would have
bought the calendar for that pix alone. No wonder I hear them up here at
nearly 600 miles during the day!

73,

Patrick

Third order mixing products, Marty.

(2 * frequency of local #1)  plus or minus  (frequency of local #2); 
you sometimes hear only one of these locals, but it's the combination 
of the two that causes it.  The mixing occurs either in your radio, 
or at some external point, possibly where there is corroded metal 
that is acting like a diode.


In the 540 case (2*610) - 680 =  540

660:(2*610) - 560 = 660


Is KEAR (I think; still KFRC in what passes for my mind) close to you?


best wishes,

Nick

Heh, don't listen to me, Pete, listen to the experts:

http://www.dxing.info/articles/DXing_and_IDing_NHK_stations.dx

And of course, that 1500UT s/off (NHK2) may still give you a chance 
on Sunday and Monday mornings, though it's been awhile since I heard 
any call letter IDs then.

best wishes,
