[IRCA] KVRI 1600

[bill kral]

  Hello Patrick   MartinI think KVRI is operated by the 
same company as KARI as the ID is announced at TOH by a guy who works at 550 
and the operations are in the same place . As far as I know KVRI has a circular 
coverage area as their signal is good here in Vic but does not reach as far 
north as the 1550 station,which is relatively weak here in Vic. As 1600  runs 
mostly over water and marsh until it reaches Seattle,little signal is lost for 
at least the first 80 or more miles,which could explain the pick up south of 
the Sound.---Bill in BC

Gary,

How strong do you get 1550 compared to 1600? Here 1600 is better.

This from former IRCA member Jef Jaisun.  It sounds like an interesting

I am dead tired after 10 hours at Field Day, otherwise
I would stay up for more.

Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[D1028Gary]

Patrick,
 
 Thanks for your comments.  KVRI-1600 (a  totally dominant station as far 
as Olympia), had all but disappeared from  the frequency at the I-5 rest stop 
north of Castle Rock, leaving a pretty strong  KOHI and a weaker KOPT. But 
since the ICF-S5W has a reputation as a fairly  sensitive portable, it doesn't 
necessarily mean that a regular car radio could  receive all 3 stations at 
Castle Rock (our own Toyota car radio couldn't  receive anything on 1600 
there).  
 
 KVRI is extremely strong daytime in Puyallup, with  its salt-water 
propagation path and 50-kw signal. But when driving south on  I-5 away from the 
salt water near Olympia, its signal takes a dive fairly  quickly, becoming 
equal 
in strength to KOPT and KOHI in Centralia.  The  hilly terrain around Castle 
Rock quickly reduces KVRI's strength to almost  nothing, and it was inaudible 
for the rest of the trip.
 
  
 73,   Gary

Gary,

I am surprised KVRI is heard on a car radio or portable at Castle Rock
during the day. Even though they are 50 KW, but are directional towards
Vancouver. I hear them during the day, but with the EWE. They get out
much better than 1550. KVRI must have a great TX site.

Yes, it is suppose to start at Midnight and run to 6 AM. Unfortunately

Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[D1028Gary]

Hi Dennis,
 
 Thanks for your comments.  Around Castle Rock  KOHI was easily received 
on the Sony ICF-S5W (along with a weaker KOPT and a  very weak KVRI), but the 
Toyota car radio couldn't receive any of  them.  Your 1997 Tracer probably has 
a superior antenna to our car's  top-mounted stealth model, which had trouble 
receiving any weak signals.
 
 Regarding the HAS station around Castle Rock,  I tried to keep track of 
the HAS collection on I-5 going south from  Olympia, but my wife soon insisted 
that CD's would be far more  interesting, so the effort was aborted.  It was 
possible to keep close  track of KOHI, KOPT and KVRI, however, and around 
Castle Rock, KVRI's sudden  signal drop was just as surprising as KOHI's sudden 
strength (on the ICF-S5W).  Around Puget Sound, KVRI is extremely strong on 
daytime ground wave, making any  reception of KOHI or KOPT really tough before 
sunset improvements.

Nope. WVKO was 1 kW D/250 W N, DA-2 from the old site on the west side. 
 From the new Morse Road site, they'll be 3200/290 DA-2. The day pattern 
is a big blob aimed E-SE, the night pattern is somewhat tighter, aimed 
south.

Patrick,

 From experience, a groundwave signal that varies from day to day
indicates an inadequate ground system. Rain increases the conduct-
ivity of the soil around the ground point (which effectively may
only be a ground rod) and hence the efficiency of the radiating
system.

This from my pirate days.

The last pirate station I was involved in before I went into the
Navy was WQRK-1540/1560 (operated on 1540 day, then went to 1560
night.

I had access to a calibrated RCA WX2C field intensity meter,
and ran field intensity measurements at a mile on at least four
points on WQRK.

We put up an 18-foot vertical with some 100 feet of top loading
(three wires fastened to two power poles and the house, and which
met at a point and which was the shape of a "Y," from which the
18-foot vertical descended to the small antenna tuning unit
(fabricated in a wooden box) and a ground rod.

My transmitter was calibrated and I set it to 10 watts (+/- 10%).

First run, I used just the ground rod and we put about 0.75 A
R-F into the antenna.

Field intensity at one mile was about 550 microvolts per meter.

After laying 16 radials (#20 tinned copper) of about 75 feet
each:

Antenna current was 2.6 A, and field intensity at one mile was
2.67 millivolts per meter!

That's equivalent to an increase of transmitter power of 23.6
times (!!).

Even with that enhanced antenna/counterpoise system, my
best guess is that for 10 W we were getting 85 milliwatts of
effective power.

Re: [IRCA] Latest Threads

[Charles A Taylor]

Patrick,

Yes, the KOHI discussion has been with us a long time, but I've rethought
my original observations, viz: That's what the IRCA Reflector is about,
discussion about things germane to MWDX.

The QRSS thing got long, but it's germane to the same subject. Many a
time I thought it's too esoteric for this list, but as soon as I went to
write up my observations, I checked myself. I really wouldn't be adding
anything.

Finally we fetch up to the debate, to offend (possibly) or not to offend
if we discuss whether a station is "cheating."

If a station is "cheating," that's germane. We could write "KXXX is
violating its license by not reducing its power at sunset." That's
very germane, but it also sounds like an semi-legal charge against
the station.

Ergo, "KXXX is cheating." If it's a fact, then its a fact. If some CE
gets his panties in a wad over that and won't ever issue another QSL
again, then we have a quandary, perhaps.

But why is he coming to this list if he's looking to be offended?

Why not go to his local newspaper and look at the latest crime report
for his hometown?

I'd suggest we all discuss a little more MWDX and how to do it, how
to get the most out of our equipment, and how to get the best out of
our antennas. But I can't tell other folks that KXXX-790 is getting a
bit tiresome. If so, maybe I ought to unsubscribe.

Expect this to change, soon. They've built a new four-tower array on the 
north side of town (Morse Road, a couple of miles east of I-71) that 
will soon be on the air.

I saw it under construction in early May - three of the four towers were 
up at that point.

Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[vroomski]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for reporting your St. Helens drive.  I was able to receive KOHI up to 
Castle Rock in our
1997 Tracer.  Now the station could be weaker than when I drove up I-5 in May.  
Did you notice any  HAS in Castle Rock area?  It was heard last fall while 
driving through the area.

Re: [IRCA] Latest Threads

[D1028Gary]

To Paul and Others,
 
 There is certainly no need to develop an allergy  to KOHI-related 
postings.  We are not "complaining" or "bitching" about  KOHI, simply 
discussing 
signal levels, and QRM on the frequency.  And the  postings about KOHI have 
been 
very limited recently, and all DX-related.
 
 If someone wishes to quit the IRCA list because of  KOHI, it seems like 
a classic overreaction, but it's a free  country.  It was never our intention 
to irritate anybody, of  course.
 
  
73,  Gary

Aw Patrick, some people just have a 'God' complex.  'My Way or the

about little ole KOHI.  I keep reading you guyses posts hoping maybe you
can up their signal strength so they'll somehow meander down the coast
and peek in here some sunset, manuevering through KGST/KUBA/KOPT/Pomona
& whatever else is on the frequency.  Maybe Blaine will pop in too.

All this political correctness & 'nicey nicey' business can be a large

Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[D1028Gary]

Hello Patrick,
 
 Thanks for your comments.  KOHI's signal and  modulation seemed fine 
yesterday, so maybe it was one of the "good days."   I was quite surprised to 
find that KOHI was the dominant station on 1600 south  of Centralia/Chehalis, 
and 
another surprise was how suddenly KVRI's signal  dropped in the hilly terrain 
around Castle Rock.
 
 I would have loved to check KOHI's signal to the  south and east, but my 
wife (attracted to Oregon by the lack of a sales tax) got  stuck at the 
Wal-Mart in St. Helens.  So a quick band scan revealed  that St. Helens, as 
expected, was a fairly poor environment for DX, with  the hilly terrain 
especially 
limiting the signals from central Washington.   It was also very interesting to 
check the strength of the Seattle-Tacoma pests  from so far south (almost 
worth the trip, to hear them cut down to size,  hi).  
 
  
   73,   Gary

[IRCA] Latest Threads

[Patrick Martin]

To everyone concerned,

What is the problem here? The KOHI thread that some are complaining
about. Sure, it got a bit long in the tooth. But, isn't it DX and radio
related? The latest postings have been signal reports from all over. In
my book that is what this list is all about. R-A-D-I-O!!!  I can
understand when a non related radio thread goes on and on. That does not
belong here. But KOHI is radio. The last time I heard they were on 1600
with 1 KW. That fits this list like a glove. If you do not want to read
an e mail, just delete it as we all do. Maybe the KOHI thread does not
interest someone in the East, but the same can be said for postings of
stations like WABV here in the West. The chances of us hearing that
station (without a DX test), would be slim. But yet that is also radio
and DX. That is what this list is all about. There have been so many
threads that are not related to the AM Band that should not be here as I
stated, so why in the world are people complaining about a thread that
is radio?
  Some have complained that I am not hard nosed enough, but as I have
stated before, Lynn has the final say. Lynn owns this list. The IRCA
does not. The IRCA has little to say about what is posted here. The IRCA
bulletin & the list are two different things.
   Can we be civil to each other? I always thought that the DXing hobby
is to promote friendship. 

73,

Patrick

Expect this to change, soon. They've built a new four-tower array on the 
north side of town (Morse Road, a couple of miles east of I-71) that 
will soon be on the air.

I saw it under construction in early May - three of the four towers were 
up at that point.

[IRCA] I Quit.....

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

KOHi is discussed here at nasuem.. it gets VERY tiring and annoying when the
same station is discussed OVER AND OVER again.. and about the same stuff
before.

I replied to the last KOHI thread about a month ago.. but my posts full of
actual correct information regarding expanded band questions, power upgrades
or tower moves was ignored, which frustrated me as I felt like I was wasting
my time.

 Y'all would rather b#$%h about KOHI over and over again.. and whine about
IBOC ruining DX then actually listneing to some of the PROFESSIONALS on this
list who currently work in radio (Un like some of you, who havent stepped
foot in a studio in 10 or 20 years).

I'm done and unsubscribing from this list. If anyone wishes to contact me
offlist, you may do so.. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just as Les is done helping set-up DX tests for the IRCA/NRC, so am I. Don't
expect me to arrange DX tests any any stations in the future, WABV included.
(I'm 100 percent in charge here and I have permissio nfrom the owner to do
whatever I need to when it';s needed to be done.I had a DX test planned,
FINALLY, for September or October, but after recent events on here.. I don't
feel my effort or anything was appreciated.)

P.S. The opinion in the previous email was ONLY that of me, Paul B Walker,
Jr and not the Owner of WABV 1590 (I just had to put that in there, before
someone complained to the owner about my "language and attitude"..)

Les,

Sorry to see you pack it in. You've done a very nice job. I can say  
you have had more success with it than any one else ever has. I know  
the job is a very tough one as I have done it at one time.

Thanks for all the hard work and the great successes you have  
accomplished.

I know the people at IRCA, NRC and ABDX all have appreciated all the  
tests you arranged. It was a lot of fun. Too bad a few people have to  
ruin a good thing.

virtually no DX, no shortwave, no pirates, no
amateurs, no FM (tropo is somewhat common in the Great
Lakes), and the MW band was full of noise. With said,
I did hear:

WKYO, 1360, Caro, Mich. 0130(UTC) 6/23/07. Country
music including the classic "Put another log on the
fire", local ads abd station ID at TOH. Not new but
rare.

Unid. 1060, 0155-0200(UTC) 6/23/07. Talk format
station heard under KYW when loop antenna was pointing
due west. Could not get an ID but I suspect this was
WHFB Nenton Harbor/St. Joseph Michigan.

Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[Patrick Martin]

Gary,

Very interesting about your reception of KOHI. They are on top of the
frequency here 60 miles away only off the Eastern beverage. On any other
antennas, if I get them they are under KVRI or KOPT. Even in St. Helens
the other day, they were quite weak and distorted for a local station.
They never have been "gangbusters" with 1 KW, but they still were local
in the area. But their signal seems to vary from day to day too. 

73,

Patrick

Re: [IRCA] stations off, etc.

[David Faulkner]

Hi Group:

I was in Columbus the weekend of June 10 & noted WVKO still off.
Also I noted WPAY, 1400, Portsmouth, OH, was not on the list of silent
stations.  It had been off for years until it returned in 2005 with rather
eccentric talk shows, but it only lasted a few months.  Appears to have been
off since sometime in the Spring of 2006.  I wouldn't be surprised if
license gets surrendered as Portsmouth is very economically depressed & is
served by 2 other AM's (WNXT, WIOI) and a multitude of FM's, 2 commercial
ones of its own plus all the Huntington/Ashland stations.  WPAY-FM remains
the dominant c&w station in southern Ohio.

I got out of Ohio last week, all the way to Charleston, SC, but was on a
choir tour with my two HS-aged daughters.  Lots of rain, some singing, a
little swimming in the ocean, but not the sort of trip to carry DX equipment
along.  Not even a car radio to do a decent scan, just an old Walkman with
almost no AM sensitivity at all.  I listened mostly to the Summerville
oldies station (WAZS-980) & the ESPN-910 outlet, WTMZ, "The Team".  Also
noted WTMA doing local talk & nx in the A.M.  Someday I hope to travel with
a decent radio.  Anybody got any suggestions as to which little one might be
best for any other such trips I take?
