Re: [IRCA] NOAA weather radio information
Art, Thanks. I consulted this list first, and the 162.475 station which I heard is not on the list. My RS WX radio has a three-position switch to pick the frequency I want to use, so either its mislabeled, someone has moved to a different frequency or its a station that's not even on the list. I bet people in the Gulf States had a field day a few days back getting skip all the way through the weather band. Didn't get near that high here, only up to 97.1 MHz at my location.

The San Francisco area one on 162.4 was strong but did not ID (including TOH) and the Monterey one on 162.55 also did not ID. The 162.475 station was extremely weak and I'd love to know where it came from. All were running WX for SF and Monterey Bay areas. At this time of year, I'm locked in on TV and FM DX but I just happened to have a WX radio. I know they used to ID on each loop of the broadcast, but the loops are also know extremely long in this location.

I took it to bed and listened to places I knew I would never go: NYC, Boston, Charlotte, Fort Worth, Wheeling, Rochester, St Louis. I was a DJ for a couple of years in college. That was fun.

Re: [IRCA] SOS in Morse code on the radio today
Interesting - It's kind of surprising that their advertising department got the Morse code right. That's pretty good attention to detail for marketing folks :) This reminds me of something that happened a few years ago. There was a DX test on the east coast or maybe the midwest, on a fairly crowded channel. A station much closer to me on the same channel ran a commercial including some Morse code which just happened to include 3 out of the 4 letters (in sequence) from the testing station's call letters. I thought we might see a bunch of false reports from the west coast the next morning, but happily we didn't (it would have been a pretty honest mistake). I can't remember which DX test this was now... 73, Tim On 7/31/07, Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was surprised when the broadcast I was listening to today was interrupted by several rounds of SOS in Morse code.

Re: [IRCA] NOAA weather radio information
Art, That's a good reference web site, if not taken too literally as you note. In addition to the anomalies you mention, even different parts of the site don't always agree. My particular NWR station, KEC50 in Palm Beach county, is listed at 1kW in the counties section but at 500W in the Marine section.

[IRCA] Fwd: [HCDX] Hawaii - Oahu gets another dose of sports radio
from the hard-core-dx list: KUPA 1370 Reactivated Oahu gets another dose of sports radio THE talk was all Bill Walsh all the time on the sports radio station yesterday afternoon. Yes, it was probably on the sports station you're accustomed to listening to, but it was also on KUPA-AM 1370. The long-silent KUPA is broadcasting the national network programming of Fox Sports Radio. Utah-based Broadcasting Corp. of America bought the station two years ago for $650,000 from another Utah company. The station has a long history of call-letter changes, despite being mostly off the air since Hawaii Public Radio Inc. sold it in 2002. Broadcasting Corp. President Nathan Drage, an attorney, at first thought he might put Hispanic programming on the station. By the time his purchase closed in April of 2006, however, he was thinking about sports programming -- and sports it is. He could not be reached yesterday to provide details, such as the studio or transmitter locations or whether he intends to put local programming on the air. At least four Oahu radio stations now traffic in sports talk: KUPA, KKEA-AM 1420; KUMU-AM 1500; and KORL-AM 1180. KKEA, branded as Honolulu's ESPN Radio 1420 AM, has been doing sports-talk the longest and its morning show, hosted by veteran sports-talker Bobby Curran has a devout following. KUMU has recently rounded up a variety of well-known morning show hosts to go head-to-head against KKEA, including Jim and Kanoa Leahey, attorney and sports fanatic Jeff Portnoy and another duo -- Bob Hogue and Jai Cunningham. Longtime broadcaster John Noland recently joined KUMU in the afternoons, where his part-sports show is up against another local sports show on KKEA. KORL's sports block was added last year in a time brokerage agreement with Starcomm Wireless. Its programming airs from 6 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 5 to 10 p.m. Saturdays, according to the KORL Web site. At the moment, the difference between KUPA and its sports-spewing brethren is that the stations also sell blocks of time for other types of programs. http://starbulletin.com/2007/07/31/business/engle.html ---[Start Commercial]- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[IRCA] HD Radio on the radio (WXXI Rochester)
As I'd mentioned in a posting last week, my part-time employers at WXXI in Rochester officially launch their HD Radio services over WXXI-FM 91.5 on Wednesday, 8/1 - and I get to do the honors. I'm guest-hosting the 1370 Connection talk show from 12-1 PM EDT on WXXI (1370) and WXXI-FM-HD2, and invite anyone who's interested to tune in to our streams at wxxi.org and to call in if you'd like. (585-263-9994 is the number) The program repeats from 9-10 PM EDT. I promise it will be more than just cheerleading for an unproven technology! s ___ 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
