Re: [IRCA] WIGG Test On???

[Tim Hall]

Not a trace here.  For some reason I can't null local XEXX as well as I used
to.  Odds would be better if I drove a few miles north.  Actually the Kiwa
is picking up tons of electrical noise tonight.

I unplugged the Kiwa and finally logged KRML on 1410, with distinctive jazz
format // their online stream.  This is my second newie in about 2 weeks,
the other being KWNA-1400.  If you don't count talking houses, new stations
coming on the air, and DX tests, it is a very rare event for me to log 2 new
catches in a month.

[IRCA] WIGG a No-show in Madison WI

[DXERak]

Listened from 0400-0530 ELT, 0300-0430 CST (the last half hour just in case  
the test ended up going off at its originally scheduled time). Nothing  heard 
that resembled the programming scheduled for this test. I was hoping that  I 
had a good chance at this one, since 5kw ND at  approx 850 miles on  a 
relatively open frequency here would seem to be very favorable  circumstances. 
WOC and 
WVJS dominated  the frequency at times, but mostly  it was wide open. I do 
note that no one reported hearing this test on  either the NRC or the IRCA 
listservs-- highly unusual, considering how alive  these lists usually are 
during 
successful tests.

[IRCA] WIGG Test Was a Go

[DXERak]

Just got word on one of my other accounts that WIGG was a go, heard by Joe  
Woazniak in Saint Louis MO. Woz says he has been trying to post to the IRCA 
list  but can't seem to get through. He also says that he heard code in the 
0400-0435  ELT time frame, 0300-0335 CST, so I will be reviewing my tape later 
in 
the  day. Thanks go to Paul Turner of WIGG and Jim Pogue for making this test  
possible!

When conditions are changing, it often seems that is when unusual 
catches pop up.   So some of our "weak carriers" could well have been 
your interesting DX, John, but unless we're into "minimalist DXing", 
using accurate frequency measurement and direction finding on those 
carriers, we'll never know what we missed, hi.

It would be interesting to know if the signal strengths at sunrise 
were generally down on some of the more normal signals, even at your 
location.  (Other than Harbin on 837 (not normal here by the way) 
which you mentioned as huge).   Were the Korean on 891 or the Chinese 
on 1017, which I'd guess are normal for you, generally at the same 
level as other mornings, for example, or did they fade up for a 
shorter time and with less overall strength?

Certainly, the propagation monitor showed a suppressed  morning here, 
at least at sunrise, with only a short enhancement from generally low 
signal levels.

best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] WIGG DX Test

[Joe Miller, KJ8O]

I was happy to hear that the test did happen last
night. Unfortunately, I did not last that long, as I
fell asleep and woke up twice while waiting for the
test to start, and finally went to bed about an hour
before the scheduled test time.

My gratitude goes out to the WIGG Chief Engineer and
to Jim Pogue for arranging this test. Mississippi
would have looked very nice in my log book, but
hopefully, we will have another opportunity again.

Just got through the 1 hour recording; WHK-OH dominated but, at times, the
channel was more like a graveyard. Heard a gospel station under WHK most of
the time but also caught bits of oldies and standards.
At 0927 UTC I heard a tone for ~ 10 seconds, and *maybe* two characters of
morse code a minute later. The code could have been part of the music, but
the tone was pretty distinct.

Thanks to all who arranged for and participated in the test,

[IRCA] TPs for 4 Nov 07

[Nick Hall-Patch]

at 1415UTC had two weak audios on 1134 and 828, both apparently 
Japanese; in the last 15 minutes, 747 and 774 have struggled into 
mild audibility a couple of times.   Otherwise, carriers are weak, 
and were at better strength around 1200Ut.

at 1435, 612 has faded up to the best audio of the morning, meaning 
mildly readable, DU of course.

If I were you, I'd seriously consider overwriting it with XP. While
Vista shouldn't have had anything to do with your difficulty with that
link, it shure could cause problems with audio files, as it has some of
the DRM/RIAA protections built in so that some files simply won't play
because they're protected with a digital key.

So far, I've found there may have been two Gospel stations. The station
heard here with Gospel between 0430 and 0500 ID'ed at 0430 as WVOT-NC,
last heard by me in North Jersey 30 years ago ! At 0400 there was
something also Gospel but much more traditional. Just prior to 0430
there sounded like some "Boy Band" stuff.

No sign of WIGG here - including what Brett noted. But just prior to
the WVOT ID there was some kind of an ad or promo from somebody which
features a rapid tone beeper which could easily be mistaken for code in
the mud.

Semi-local WCOJ was a bit of a problem here as it's at about 260
degrees from here and MS is about 230 or so.

of the hour. Given your and my locations, I am taking a guess that it might
have been WFLT-MI,

Re: [IRCA] WIGG Test On???

[Bill Harms]

I am still going through the recording. I have not yet heard the test, 
but I had a definite ID on a gospel station.  It was WVOT.

[IRCA] lack of TPs for 4 Nov 07

[Nick Hall-Patch]

at 1415UTC had two weak audios on 1134 and 828

and it only got worse as 1500UT approached; I think around 1430UT 
might have been the peak, such as it was.

best wishes,

[IRCA] TPs Nov 4: Ugly!

[John H. Bryant]

Was up early, again and the first run at 1300 (2 hours before dawn) 
was VERY promising and actually better than the early run 
yesterday.  Had useable audio from China on 639, 756, 918, 963, 1017 
and 1377. Those were joined by Vietnam 675, Japan 747 and 774, Korea 
1188 and the usuals on 1566 and 1575.  I was quite hopeful for a 
decent Chinese morning ...

Instead, things really went in the toilet at dawn everything was 
either gone completely or fairly weak hets and nothing much had risen 
to take their places.  The only useable audio at dawn was: 774, 819 
(distorted), 873 Korea and 918 Shandong. Those four were quite poor, 
but I could ID the language, at least.

Have we had a solar event?  Is Nick's cloud back and nearly solid?  I 
even had time this morning to knock out my last pending reception 
report the first time that I've totally caught up with my report 
writing since mid-September. That is not a good thing!

John, I am curious about the Korean on 873. do you have a clip of it? 
According to my Japanese DXer friends, North Korea is not on that 
frequency. Neither is South Korea.  Is this a PRC station running Korean?

I'll second that.  Vista is not a good operating system.  I'd put XP Pro on
it.  The DRM/RIAA intrusions are something that should never have been
allowed.  FWIW, Vista sales are dropping and not increasing.  That should
say a lot.

I have made it perfectly clear to my clients that I will not support or even
work on a Vista-equipped computer.  There are driver issues and other things
that may not be able to be resolved.  I don't want to be the Don Quixote
tilting against that insidious windmill.

If you check with your computer vendor, they may have a program in place to
give you Windows XP Pro at little or no cost.

How recent is the Japanese DXers' listening, Bill?

Certainly, there was a powerful North Korean there when I visited 
Japan in spring 2005  //2850.  It used to give fits to the big 
Kumamoto NHK2 transmitter even in southern Kyushu.

I've logged it here at home, though not this fall; last heard  March 
12 of this year.  And I believe it's been ID'd at Grayland this fall also.

Re: [IRCA] NK on 873

[Bill Harms]

Nick, I am checking this out now with my Japanese DXer friend who 
happens to speak Korean. I think that maybe the Japanese DXers may not 
fully aware of this station because the North Korean broadcasting 
authorities are publishing lists of stations that exclude this one and 
the NHK station on 873 may be blocking the North Korean to the extent 
that they do not give it a second thought.  Please stand by while I 
receive an answer from my Japanese DXer friend.

Nada here too... just a host of nearby pests, led by WHK, with the 
likes of WACK, WBEC and WBSM chiming in.  Propagation didn't seem too 
good in that direction last night - the only MS station I hear on a 
regular basis, WTNI-1640, often booms in, but last night they were 
very weak.

Bill,  I confess that I pretty much blow the Koreans off I have 
difficulty recognizing the language unless I can hear it well and I 
speak not a word (both my fault, of course) and most importantly to 
me, neither KBS domestics nor the North Koreans seem to QSL.  I'm too 
QSL oriented and obviously need to DX some with you to learn about 
the finer points of DXing Korea.  I've pretty much been list logging 
the Korean on 873. That has been quite prominent this season, but not 
in the past.

However, Guy Atkins logging from our QCI DXpedition is pretty 
definitive. To quote:

873   NORTH KOREA KCBS Sinuiju, Sep 22 1355 - Korean Orchestral 
music, very strong and parallel to 2850. 3+1 Time Pips and ID exactly 
as per PAL 'Choson Chungang Bangsong imnida' at 1400. (Atkins-QCI)

I wonder if KCBS have reactivated sometime this summer and the 
Japanese are just operating on old information???  They do have NHK2 
Kumamoto in Kyushu to contend with.

Look forward to meeting you one of these days, Bill We can regale 
each other with stories of  Americans stumbling their way through East Asia :>)

[IRCA] WIGG Test not heard

[Martin and Wendy Foltz]

I listened this morning from 1:12-1:40 AM PST, no WIGG here. I did hear 2 
Spanish stations and 1 English talk station. One Spanish was probably XEXX. 
None of the stations was dominant.

Thanks to everyone for the opportunity.

[IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[vroomski]

Good Day:

Listening to a replay of KOHI's hour talk show from Friday morning, host Marty 
Rowe said that he is working with KVRI on the interference problems they are 
having in KOHI listening area.  Listeners have been complaining that a station 
in a foreign language is interfering with their reception  of  KOHI in the 
morning and evening.

Marty said that one of KVRI 11 antennas is not working properly.  KVRI is 
working on the problem antenna. 11 antennas? Checked the FCC data base and 
found that they are using 6 antennas for day and night patterns. 

KOHI is 180 degrees South of Blaine at 216 miles.  The deepest null on KRVI 
antenna pattern is 180 degrees South.

Marty also mentioned that they still working on their antenna problems.

Okay, the WRTH and sources are wrong. There are North Koreans on 873 and 
882.

I received this from Toru Yamashita in Japan.

 > Wonsan is now on 882kHz, and 873 is from Sinuiju.

I sent this to Bruce Portzer last year and the PAL is correct.

Here is another excellent list. Not only does Barry list the formats, 
powers, etc of the stations like other lists, you can find out the 
sunset and sunrise times as well as your distance from the stations.

Re: [IRCA] Korean on 873

[Bill Harms]

John:

If the truth be known, we all do list logging, especially if it is a 
stations we have heard numerous times and when the action is fast and 
heavy. I sometimes wonder if on occasion we miss something new, perhaps 
even a new station by jumping over stations like that.  I am into 
recording local IDs and that makes up for list logging, I think.

QSLing the Koreans on both sides is problematic. In South Korea, many of 
the MBC stations have printed QSLs (except Seoul!). The CBS and the FEBC 
stations also have their own QSLs. The KBS stations are problematic. It 
is personnel dependent. I have had better luck with Korean reports than 
with English reports. They also like you to log local or regional 
programming.

I will be in Spokane in April!  That is the closet I will get to the San 
Juans or Grayland in a while.

[IRCA] WIGG-1420 DX test

[amdxmail]

Heard with code, test tone, many Floyd Cramer tunes and one voice ID.? Rather 
weak for 5kw n-d; WHK and WVJS, the usual top dogs on 1420, were in control 
nearly all the time.? Heard March 26, 1971 (on a frequency check, I think) and 
happy to hear it again.

article does not include the iBiquity quote that was in the previous
article about Denver/Boulder being the top market based on percentage of
stations broadcasting in HD. The Denver Post article is at

[IRCA] WIGG DX Test Heard Very Well Here

[J.D. Stephens]

WIGG DX test heard loud & clear and right on schedule,
at my North Alabama QTH.  Frequent voice and Code IDs,

Pounding in at times, and very little fading.  Really
a well done test!

Thanx to Jim Pogue, and WIGG's CE Paul Turner.

[IRCA] WIGG 1420 test reprot

[Bill Harms]

I just finished listening to my recording of the DX test last night 11/4 
for WIGG 1420. I nulled WHK but it was still rather strong. The number 
two station was WVOT with gospel music. I am not sure I actually heard 
the test. I did hear some test tones and what could have passed for 
Morse code IDs. However, the audio was muddled. I may send a tentative 
report anyway.

[IRCA] WIGG DX Test NOT Heard Here

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Haven't listened to the entire recorded hour yet, but I'd guess this 
wasn't heard here...just too much KITI which just wouldn't remain nulled

The test from Georgia on this channel was heard several years ago, so 
WIGG wasn't impossible, but no luck this time.

Thanks for the effort.

If it was right at 0430, it may have been the ad I noted just before

One word of caution:  don't trust the FCC site for data about Mexican

accept corrections from anyone but the Mexican government.  For a Mexican

[IRCA] more on TP conditions Nov 4

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Finally got to look at  the propagation monitor records for last 
night, and although this morning's sunrise enhancement wasn't, there 
were actually quite good signal levels overnight, comparable to other 
nights in the past week.  This was in contrast to November 3rd when 
signal levels were suppressed overnight as well.

So the big "cloud of absorption" waited until people got out of bed 
on the west coast.

Will be interesting to see if this is the end of the morning 
enhancements, or just a passing phase.

best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[WALTER SALMANIW]

I've driven by KVRI a few times.  It's very close to Semiahmoo near Blaine, and 
is in a presumably salty marsh facing north across to White Rock in B.C.  The 
target audience really must be pretty exclusively in the lower Mainland of B.C. 
which has a huge east Indian population.  A messy transmitter too, which 
splatters over a large hunk of bandwidth.  Often pretty overmodulated 
tooWalt.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Guys:

Just because the technical data on radio-locator.com, fccinfo.comk or
fcc.gov shows 6 towers in the pattern itself, doesn't mean that's all there
is at the transmitter site.

KVRI has 2 directional pattern, the night pattern being a bit looser then
the day pattern. With 2 different patterns being needed, it's likely.. and
very possible that the night pattern can't be created by the same 6 towers
that the day pattern uses.  While KVRIs day and night pattern comefrom the
samepieceof property, I wouldn't doubt that there's 11 towers up there
spread out to meet the pattern requirements.

The Day and night patterns may have some towers in common, might not. When
they switch to the night pattern, they may only use 1 of the day towers and
include 5 other towers only used at night.

KVRI is owned by Way Broadcasting, Inc aka Multicultural Radio Broadcasting
and the station is targetting an ethic audience so I guess they'll do what
it takesto put up that many towers.  Being on 1600Khz, the towers arent but
130 feet or so. even if they're guyed towers, it'd only require aobut 25 to
30 acresof land.. which ISN"T alot. And although it might be expensive,
itprobably palesin comparison to what tyhe station makes in an LMA and block
time fees.

Re: [IRCA] [Vista woes

[WALTER SALMANIW]

I think Paul's correct.  Staples up here in Canada had XP ?Pro a few months 
back for some pretty hefty change, and I know that Microsoft is not going to 
allow a "free downgrade" to XPno way.  When I next buy a laptop, I'm 
purchasing mine from Dell that still offers a choice of Vista or XP, and I know 
which one I'll be going with.

Re: [IRCA] WIGG DX Test

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

AsI said Jim, nothing here.. just some spanish station, a gospel station and
WHK.

Oh well, I was actually up and hoping for this, but no big loss that I
didn't hear it.

Thanks to Paul, their CE for staying up so late to do this. They've got a
nice little station in Wiggins that I heard for several days when camping in
the area..

Re: [IRCA] AM Station Lists?

There's a point that I make every time this question comes up, and it's 
worth making again:

It's VERY important to understand what the FCC's database is, and is 
not, supposed to be.

Anything on the FCC database that's outside the US is there for one 
reason and one reason only: because it's entitled to protection from 
interference from US-licensed stations.

It matters not one bit whether the international station record is 
"accurate" in the sense that we as DXers would like it to be (correct 
call letters, for instance, or even on-air status). As long as Canada 
reports to the US that there's a station on 1190 in Charlottetown, PEI, 
for instance, US stations are required by international treaty to 
protect that "station" - never mind that it migrated to 720 two decades 
ago and then to FM a couple of years back.

Nor does the FCC care whether 1150 in Hamilton, ON appears in its 
records as "CKMO" or "CKOC" or "PAUL ESTHER BLODGETT WALKER" - as long 
as the technical record correctly reflects the station's parameters as 
reported to the FCC by Industry Canada, that's all that matters.

That's why the FCC won't accept "corrections" to the list from DXers, 
and it's also why web-based directories that treat the FCC data as 
gospel for stations outside the US (I'm talking to YOU, 
radio-locator.com!) are so untrustworthy for our purposes as DXers.

There are three sources I trust as gospel for Canadian stations: the 
Industry Canada BASERAD database, which is unwieldy and not accessible 
via a direct web interface; Barry McLarnon's list, which is based on the 
BASERAD data and DXers' observations; and the NRC AM Log, which is also 
based on a combination of BASERAD and DXers' notes.

As many - but probably not all - on the list know, I am the news editor 
of yet another station-directory site. 10watts.com is not a free 
site (it's really meant for broadcast industry professionals, but access 
for DX club members is available for a discount rate of $44.95 a year), 
but I and my colleagues there take pride in our level of accuracy. It's 
a complete list of all US-licensed stations, checked directly with each 
station on an annual basis for accuracy. It's NOT a complete list of 
Canadian stations - just the big-market border ones - but those are 
checked directly with the stations, too.

I'll have to re-check my recording, but I don't think I had it. Between
WCOJ and then WVOT the channel was reasonably well blocked although I
did get ID's from WACK and WBET earlier, they weren't heard during the
test period.

[IRCA] OT: Sunday NY Times Crossword Puzzle - radio themed

[Eric Floden]

I love doing the crosswords when I can, and saw one today that I wanted to
share

last Sunday's NY Times puzzle (which appeared in the Vancouver Sun
yesterday) has a theme of TALKING HEADS -- i.e., radio (& teevee) talkers
familiar to us all -- Rush, Bill O., Al F., and more.  If you enjoy these
(the Sunday ones can be tough) then you may want to look for this one . . .

And, bless My Mom, she had looked at a clue that was roughly "lonely
trucker, perhaps?",and wrote DXER in the four squares provided.  I had to
tell her it was more likely to be CBER

[IRCA] WIGG DX Test

[Tom Jasinski]

Test was heard here with weak signals on a fairly congested channel.  Heard
with WHK, WVJS and others.  Only tones and Morse code made it.  Tones and
code were repeated several times during the first thirty minutes only.
Nothing noted after 03:30 CST.  Called in to station at 3:08 after hearing
the test tone and code at 03:06.  Verified that they were on with 5Kw and ND
pattern.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I'd be curious to see exactly wat the problem with ONE of the 11 antennas
is. I find it hard to believe one bad tower out of the 6 would cause this
much of a problem. The people complaining are probably on KOHI's unprotected
fringe coverage anyways.

WBET? There's a 1410 and 1460 in Brockton, MA but neither are WBET. However
I think 1460 used to be WBET.

No station has the WBET calls today.

It's possible, with just a few minutes of actual research in place of 
random guesswork, to determine whether or not KVRI's six night towers 
are the same six towers it uses during the day. They are, and the answer 
is as close as fccinfo.com, where we find that the same six Antenna 
Structure Registration numbers appear on the nighttime record for KVRI 
as on the day record.

What's more, four of those towers are also used by sister station KARI 
550, which was there first. (The KARI records at fccinfo.com don't 
include ASR numbers, but the coordinates are the same as KVRI, the tower 
heights match - 97.5 meters all around - and a look at the KVRI records 
show that four of the ASR numbers are fairly old, while two more were 
issued later on, when the two additional towers were added for the KVRI 
diplex.)

I have no clue where the "11 towers" business came from.

If the KVRI array is in fact out of whack, that's not just a problem for 
KOHI. Any RF that KVRI is sending south is going away from that 
station's target listeners north of the border in the Vancouver market, 
and it needs every watt it can get to hot those listeners up north.

The 1460 in Brockton changed to WBZB from WBET in the last week of November,
2006.  That lasted only a few days until the WBZ legal department sent them
a nastygram.  They went back to WBET intil mid-December, 2006 when they went
to the current WXBR call.  As far as I know, all IDs that mentioned WBET
were updated to WXBR, so there should not have been any accidental WBET
mention by them.

It's a shame they changed calls.  WBET was very well known.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[VROOMSKI]

KOHI fans,

I'm 12 miles Southeast of KOHI and the interfering station here is KOPT Eugene, 
OR at 123 miles.
At one time the owners of KOPT were thinking of buying KOHI and shutting it 
down.  KRVI is
219 miles from  here and is not a problem with KOHI's signal in the morning 
here.  The way Marty (owner) explain the problem was that listeners have 
complained to him about KOHI coverage in Columbia county.  He admits problems 
with their own antenna and they are trying to fix the ground problem and find a 
new site.  

It would be nice to hear KOHI around 7 am without interference from a station 
123 miles away, and the next few months it will be worse because sunrise will 
be as late as 7:51 am until January 8th when the sun will rise earlier each 
morning.

Marty also mentioned that KOHI web-site can only have 120 people log-on at one 
time.  Soon they will have band width for 1,000 people to log on at any given 
time.  

Dennis,
Vancouver, WA

Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[D1028Gary]

KVRI's big signal and salt-water propagation path make it tough to hear  KOHI 
and KOPT in Puget Sound, but the strange thing is how the FCC could  allow 
such a daytime QRM mess (assuming that KVRI's signal is going north as  
planned).  Driving from Olympia to Kelso on I-5, all 3 stations mix badly  with 
each 
other.  It seems like the FCC really dropped the ball, on  this 1600 mess.

Thanks Phil. I did wonder if the SS I was hearing could have have been the

12W.

That was a good radio. Guaranteed to hear TA's from here.

Re: [IRCA] WIGG-1420 Test

[saulamdx]

I was up and checked for the test, and heard no sign
of it. Then, in the morning, my girlfriend mentioned
something about a time change. I knew about it but we
had company that evening, and maybe a little bit more
wine than I should have had. I forgot to change my
alarm clock before hitting the sack. Anyhow, in the
half hour I did listen, it was almost all WHK - they
do get out well judging by repports here. I also had
what seemed like an ID that mentioned 88.7 and 102.9.
Not sure yet who that is. I see the test was not as
widely heard as some have been. Nevertheless, it is
greatly appreciated.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600 KVRI

[Patrick Martin]

 Dennis,

I have been listenings to KOHI since the 60s here on the coast, and they
do not have the signal they used to have. It is much weaker than even a
couple years ago. There is something wrong with their signal. KOPT was
never an issue with KOHI during the day unless I phased KOHI. It was
dominant on most antennas. Even on the car radio, KOHI's signal was
weak, but alone on the frequency and I am about 60 miles from KOHI here.
If they ever get their signal back up where it is supposed to be, I
doubt KOPT or KVRI will be an issue in Columbia County. Some days it is
hard to even get KOHI QRM free. They are several DB weaker here.

73,

Patrick

Of course, not a peep on the west coast.  What dominated that hour was KITI  
Cenralia Chehalis, WA and even they weren't that great.  A hodge podge of
cochannels in and out.  Shows the limitations of remote recording.  I had used 
AM, which caused muddy audio (had a very narrow bandwidth).  Should have 
either used a wider bw or USB or LSB, I guess.  No chance for anything making 
it through this time.  Thanks to all involved in making this happen!

Re: [IRCA] & Cuba 530

[satya]

Hi Nick:

Good going!  There's so many TIS stations around me on 530 that Cuba would
probably never punch through.

Last year, on a barefoot Sony 7600GR no less, I heard a few "Radio
Progresso" IDs just after my local sunset on 900 khz; naturally it faded
before I could find my recorder...maybe if CKMO can be nulled you might
hear it as well?

Re: [IRCA] WIGG 1420 test reprot

[Patrick Martin]

Walt,

CX last night were terrible as well as tonight. The Eastern beverage
seems about useless. Pocatello ID with their loud Ranchero mx pretty
much wiped out any chances of hearing the test anyway. Pocatello cannot
be running 12 watts. Not with that signal. Their sister station on 1480
often runs high power too. 

73,

Patrick

Thanks...it was Colin Newell who alerted me to it; others have heard 
it in this part of the world, so on a good night, maybe you 
also.  The one I really think you might hear is the Turks and Caicos 
station on that frequency.  A very frequent and sometimes quite 
strong visitor here.

CKMO can sometimes be phased out reasonably well, so another one to 
add to the hunt list.   Just have to find the time...

best wishes,
