Re: [IRCA] KEX vs KOFI
They may in fact care, so I will rephrase my statement. If someone in Vancouver WA cannot receive KOFI clearly because of KEX's interference, would you as the operator of KOFI spend time, money and energy to fight KEX knowing that Vancouver is not in your primary coverage area AND your advertisers are not targeting their advertising dollars to anyone at all in Vancouver? If KEX was messing with KOFI in their own back yard, their advertising revenue would likely decrease. You can bet your dingus that some energy would be spent then, but Vancouver isn't anywhere near their backyard, let alone on the same street. Mike Patrick Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think KOFI cares. I really think deep down all stations care about listeners. They say they don't, but it is a ego thing for them. But can KOFI do anything about it,? I doubt it as KEX does not QRM KOFI in their area, not with the tight pattern KEX has nulling the East.

Mike, What you report is the HD signals from some of these stations are going out beyond the 10 khz as a distant. So some may be running more than the 10%. Just wait until the FCC allows 100%.

Sure I can hear some of it, especially during the day, KKPZ 1330 Portland, but running 500 watts of HD compared to 5 KW or more on a 50 KWer is going to really cause a lot more interference. I think all stations that run HD, should have no more power than 5 KW analog and 500 watts HD. That would sure clean things up a lot, but it is not going to happen.

They stupidly claim noise reports lack proper form, any impertinence they can think of to evade the truth. they embraced a failed, destructive 'technology' under coercion from greaszy slavemasters. rather than speak up early, they folded like cheap cameras. now they nastily reply to noise reporters about how they have 'balls' and will achieve historical greatness by pimping HD. they sound like they belong in a booby hatch. hd proves, when otherwise intellingent men, expert in their field and free from inner disturbance, involve themselves in schemes, they shortly behave strangely and spew nonsense. replies from offending stations are a study in heated denial. were the issue anything but this all consuming obsession of avaricious dull-kasters known as hd, those making such arrogant, surly, utterly inadequate replies would be canned on the spot. on another note, they yap about trying real rad formats on streams. as legit broadcasters point out, why didn't they do that on their main channel? why did they fire all their talent? their superficial bluster well underscores the ocean of inadequacy which lies beneath. paul vincent zecchino manasota key, fl ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ 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

[IRCA] TPs for 09-16-07
Good Morning: Conditions here were better than yesterday. Many channels with near audio. Listening to the Russian long-waves here is kind of like Russian Roulette. Every morning is different. Today 234 was heard while 180 189 had no audio. Usually 234 is the weakest of the five. The Kiwa loop pulled in JOUB this morning. The loop direction was a little South of what I remember for them. Judging for the Kiwa the Ewe needs to be moved a little to the South from its present NW position.

[IRCA] TP's WOW! What a morning, Filipino Heaven!!!
Greetings everyone, In the midst of the HD issue, this morning was the best morning I have had for years for Filipinos. Too bad daylight hit as I could have gone on forever. I call this morning Filipino morning. It seemed they were everywhere. If not everywhere, on a lot of channels. Thanks to the tip from Walt, I logged DYSS 999 Cebu and that was over some station playing Island music. There is a 10 KW Pohmpei there, V6AF; which is probably likely. But DYSS blatted it out pretty much, but I will continue to check out this one. Besides 999, also a nice ID from DZAR Quezon City on 1026 and an UNID preacher on 954 u/JOKR with Filipino accent, probably DZEM, Christian Era BCers in Quezon City. Also JJ talk on 720 at 1345. Russia is not listed as JJ talk any long in the WRTH, so JOIL? Just JJ talk, no ID or anything I could tell. Here are some highlights. Man, could I take another morning like this. 531UNIDPHILIPPINES, man in Tagalog buring u/2PM at 1410 9/16 (PM-OR) 540UNID PHILIPPINES, buried by NHK1 and Domestics at 1340 9/16, likely DYRB Cebu, which I have hrd here. (PM-OR) 558DZXLPHILIPPINES, MM, man at 1415 DZXL, RMN.. 9/16 trading places with JOCR. (PM-OR) 567UNIDPHILIPPINES, burid under JOIK at 1407 9/16 (PM-OR) 594DZBB PHILIPPINES, Quezon City, And nowDZBB presents.., at 1421 9/16mostly buried in JJ talk (JOAK). Unneeded buy nice to hear again. (PM-OR) 603UNIDPHILIPPINES, another station in Taglog, but buried in jumble at 1412 9/16 (PM-OR) t612DYHPPHILIPPINES, likely the Filipino here at 1407 9/16 with man in Tagalog. DYHP is the only one I ever here another Cebu outlet. (PM-OR) 666 UNIDPHILIPPINES, buried u/JOBK at 1351 9/16, either DZRH or DXRP, both logged and QSL'd here in the past. (PM-OR) 684 UNID PHILIPPINES, buried in KNBR splash at 1340 9/16, man in Tagalog, too weak to copy much. (PM-OR) 720 UNIDJAPAN or RUSSIA, man in JJ at 1345 9/16, no ID, but VOR is not listed in JJ as far as I can tell in the current WRTH. I need to check PAL to see if there is a change. (PM-OR) 729 PHILIPPINES, UNID here buried in JOCK at 1339 9/16 (PM-OR) 900HAWAII, KNUI, had me fooled for a bit with gal in Tagalog at 1425 9/16 and Filipino pops, after hearing the dial in Tagalog, but I remembered that Sunday mornings KNUI always had Filipino programming. (PM-OR) t954PHILIPPINES, Quezon City, DZEM, prob the EE filipino preacher mostly buried by JOKR at 1410 9/16. Listed as the Christian Era Broadcasting Network, 40 KW. (PM-OR) 999 PHILIPPINES, Cebu, DYSS fair on top with man Super Radyo DYSS, GMA999 on your dial. o/unid Islands station 1351 9/16. New! Thx Walt for the tip. Not bad considering 1 KHZ from 50 KWer KOMO. (PM-OR) 999UNID, Island mx station u/DYSS, no anmts, but pretty much buried by DYSS and some KOMO splash at 1351 9/16. Pohmpei? Listed at 10 KW. I will have to check this one out morning. (PM-OR) 1008 JAPAN, Osaka JONR Good at 1335 9/16, gal in JJ . (PM-OR) 1017 PHILIPPINES, DXAM/DYRB? with man in Tagalog on top, woman in Tagalog underneath. Hrd both here, but interesting to hear two Filipinos mixing at 1347 9/16 (PM-OR) 1026 PHILIPPINES, Quezon City DZAR, preacher at several checks from 1332 to after 1400, local pgm of Filipino accented man with lots of clapping and music, Everybody has Joy At 1402, anmt This is the NCR broadcasting network, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Unneeded, but nice to hear so well. I get this one often, but not this strong. (PM-OR) 1062 PHILIPPINES, Quezon City DZEC, finally good at 1417, but fighting KTCT IBOC hash with man in Tagalog 9/16 (PM-OR) There were also a handfull of the JJ commercial stations noted, JOIF 1413 and JORF 1422, but I spent the majority of the time on Filipinos. A fantastic morning. Gee, I could get used to this! It would not take much either.hi. After LSR, I only had IBOC hash on a few channels, mainly 1179/1197 (KEX) and a bit on 1053/1062, as KTCT was still strong enough after the other Bay area channels had faded way down. KTCT is not supposed to be directional this way either.

[IRCA] IBOC bandscan in SW PA: Not Good
Curious to see how ordinary listeners (not DXers) might hear the IBOC Effect on an ordinary radio, I sat in my Honda Fit in the driveway at 0130 on 9/15 and did a bandscan on its ordinary radio (it ain't no Drake). I'm about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh. A few channels were useless, as expected: 690, 1130, 1200. But other channels were evidence of no child left unharmed, varying from faint hiss in the background (you wouldn't notice it driving) to really obnoxious hiss that would make me give up listening, or call the station to ask, What's wrong with your station? And the normal continual variations in signal strength made some channels vary from okay to unlistenable over just a few minutes: 700, 710, 720, 750, 760, 770, 780, 830, 850, 880, 1060, 1080, 1170, 1190, 1220, 1520. I was particularly surprised/dismayed that 710, 720, 750, 760, 880, 1170 were so bad. These normally are quite listenable, but not now. What was really perplexing is that 1170 is a local for me, WWVA-Wheeling -- at 30 miles, I'm in their NE-directional 50kw grade-A hot blue flame. You shoulda heard the hiss. Jeez! I guess it comes down to whether AM broadcasters are interested in their nighttime audiences beyond 25 miles or not. Evidently they are not.

Re: [IRCA] Recordable media
I have found that the case with most DVD burners. They last a year. I am back using my Lite On 5005 as it records CDs DVDs and it does ok. The DVD burns are not too strong, so if it is something I want to keep, I make a copy on the computer. The Pioneer stand alone burner lasted 14 months. The drive quit recording. Pioneer wants $180.14 for a new drive. I only paid $179.95 for the whole unit.

Hiss on 1100, 1110 1120. No skywave stations would decode, Is this because of adjacent channel hiss? The Quantum loop has something like a 40dB amplifier, but that wasn't the hiss I heard.

Re: [IRCA] IBOC on Saturday night
Hi all: I'm new to to the mailing list, living in the Seattle area. I certainly picked an auspicious time to get back in the DXing hobby! Check out http://www.rwonline.com/pages/s.0049/t.8417.html - terrestrial radio is proving to be fairly resilient! Last night on my modified Yaesu FRG-100 and Quantum Loop, 810 KGO was hissing over 820 KGNW local, and 1530 KFBK was rendering local 1540 KXPA all but inaudible; I emailed both of the locals today to let them know that someone in their legal footprint is having trouble hearing them. Like many, going SSB in the sideband closest to the IBOCer provides the most relief, and I was able to hear 1520 KOKC fairly well on USB. To combat the hiss, I have started using a DBX audio compressor with an outboard DSP (the MFJ-784B). The compressor keeps the audio at a nearly constant level, just below the maximum input level for the DSP; this maximizes the DSP's noise reduction capability, since it likes the highest level possible with the least amount of volume variation. With this, as long as the target station is reasonably above the noise level, the hiss is substantially reduced and target is readable, without the funky digital artifacts from the DSP.

Re: [IRCA] The Nighttime IBOC Scorecard
Jerry, I always like the cleanest audio I can get, in any format and from any source. Show me an AM-FM simulcast, and I'll be listening to the FM. Yes, I still like AM for propagation and such, and have good memories of the variety of music I was able to hear in the 60s from hit music stations in many markets. If the music and stations were that good, I'd listen to them today. But better audio quality is just aesthetically more pleasing. -- Rick ___ 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

And now apparently they don't consider anyone more than 30 miles from their transmitter relevant to HD radio listening so the issue of overcoming the noise floor could have been dealt with in a similar manner (you live too far away, you don't count to us). What I think happened is they allowed themselves to be caught up in the crappifying of the medium, and are now grasping at technology to save them.

Re: [IRCA] KOFI-1180 Coverage map for advertisers:
Click on Advertise, at http://www.kofiradio.com/indexk2.html The four different contours are not labeled! What does this mean? Why in the world aren`t they labeled with night/day, mv/m? KOFI is 50/10 kW U2, which means 50 kW day, non-direxional, and 10 kW night, direxional. The smaller non-circular contour, however looks like it is groundwave, influenced by the mountain range to the west, so that would be daytime? The larger circular contours sure don`t go very much further as would be expected for nighttime skywave, but that is supposed to be direxional. KOFI is one of those few ``almost clear channel`` stations which ought to have big coverage at night, even if direxional, not the smaller inside contours (that is, until IBOCh interference from KEX-1190 Portland et al. messed everything up). On the contrary, the bigger circular patterns must be theoretical daytime coverage, so the smaller non-circular contours must be nighttime, even if they don`t match FCC or radio-locater versions. Has anyone axually measured their field strength in different direxions and at different distances? Otherwise, this is all pretty meaningless (except to advertisers who don`t know any better?) The NRC Pattern Book shows a very different picture. Daytime is a non-direxional circle, and nighttime is almost a figure 8 N/S, with a null toward WHAM Rochester, of course. Almost, meaning the null to the west is not pulled in nearly as much as to the east. This matches the night pattern at FCC: http://www.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/45972-10705.pdf And it`s dated 16 Sept 2007 --- does that mean there has been a very recent change?? Transmitter site is just east of Kalispell, which is a good idea since there must be a night null to the east. Of course, the circular daytime pattern merely means it starts out non-direxional, not taking into account mountain blockage, differences in ground conductivity. What do the patterns at radio-locator.com show? Still different!

[IRCA] IBOC Revisited
Now that we have experienced several nights of IBOC operation throughout the country, and most of us have had a chance to do some initial Dxing under these new conditions, I am interested in your responses to the following question: Has the sky indeed fallen as many of us predicted? Here is what I have found over the past few evenings. As we all know, nighttime IBOC does indeed create the same hash as we have become accustomed to during the day, particularly on the first channel adjacents, but to a lesser extent to the second d adjacents, as well. It must be remembered that the IBOC information is carried on sidebands from 8kz-15khz removed from the carrier. So that if IBOC is being transmitted on 1210 WPHT, its digital artifacts will not just effect stations on 1200 and 1220, but - to a lesser extent - 1190 and 1230. This is because the IBOC information has encroached about the second adjacent's analog sideband by at least 5khz. To make this more clear a station on 1230 will receive digital IBOC hash from 1210 on its lower sideband from 1220-1225 Khz. I have experimented with several techniques to alleviate this situation, most of which are available to anyone with a general coverage receiver. The first technique, and one of the most effective, is to use the USB and LSB modes on you receiver. If, for instance, you are receiving IBOC has from 710 on 690, switch operation to lower sideband so that the hash on 695-700 becomes diminished or altogether invisible. Another technique is to use extremely narrow bandwidth filters (such as 2.4 and 1.8 khz), either when monitoring on AM, or when using sideband techniques. The narrow bandwidths, coupled with good notch filtering practices, may render the IBOC hash almost invisible. So, has the sky fallen? Are we up against the demon forces of HD radio to the extent that many of us suspected? Or, has the IBOC revolution merely opened up a new chapter in the history of our hobby.? I tend to believe the latter. For instance, in the past two nights I have been able to log several stations in the digital mode...some stronger than others, some solid and others with their HD signals fading in and out and tough to pull in. I think this whole IBOC thing may, contrary to what many of us (myself included) may in the end be a boon to Dxing. It may force us to develop new techniques, but it also will afford us the opportunity to pull in digital signals from hundreds of miles away. For me, the bottom line is that it is - for the time being - a mixed blessing, but one which we Dxers can take advantage of. Looking forward to a great DX seasons, and glad to be back on the NRC and IRCA lists after a break during the summer. 73, Rene' Rene F.

[IRCA] NE Oregon Sunday night TAs
Despite S9+20 static, European LWBC reception was pretty decent this evening, especially in the hour or so just after sunset. MW eventually had many hets with a number at levels one would think would produce audio, but didn't. Only 1134 Croatia produced poor audio at 0316 utc. LWBC with audio: 153 weak; 162 weak/medium; 171 poor/weak; 177 weak; 183 weak/medium; 189 weak/medium; 198 weak; 207 poor; 216 weak; 225 weak; 234 poor/weak; 252 poor; 270 poor/weak--all from 0220-0330 utc. That may be my best ever for number of channels with recognizable audio at one session--and despite the high static level. Conditions on LWBC declined as the static crashes became continuous; 162, 189, 198 still had some audio at 0400 utc. MW still had lots of hets but not as strong as earlier too.
