[IRCA] 960 CFFX
OK, I'm pretty certain that I just heard sweep tones and rather slow CW at about 07:04:30, best heard on my "north" facing corner fed loopactually aimed about 65degrees. When I switched to other antennae, I heard nothing, and when I returned to the North loop, nothing. This antenna primarily hears Calgary very strongly, although at times it fades to reveal another English speaking station, possibly sports as well. I'd say that I heard perhaps 10 seconds of code and sweep tones, although there may have been more earlier. I better call this a tentative until I check the mp3 files again. Thanks for all involved! The ionosphere must be rather disturbed as Calgary completely faded down for about 15 seconds revealing the other English speaker, and also a SS station. Now Calgary is back. No further code or sweep tones, thoughWalt in Victoria. ___ 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] CFFX-960 in Markham, ON
Saul Using the SRF-59, I heard the CFFX test at midnight but under WFIR. Being relatively new at this, I am surprised. CFFX (Kingston) is 226km/140mi from my location and the test was conducted at 10 000W (as mentioned in the test notice). WFIR in Roanoke, VA is 733km/456mi away and broadcasting at 5 000W (as in the NRC's AM radio log). I would have expected the CFFX signal to be the stronger of the two. By moving the radio, I could null CFFX but not WFIR.

[IRCA] CFFX 960 DX Test
Heard (somewhat) easily from Southeastern Michigan, distance approx. 375 miles, but had to null local WWJ 950's nighttime IBOC, and then WFIR suddenly popped up after a long period of fading. Glad I was able to hear them one last time, having also logged them in Dec. 2002, Jan. 2004, & Sept. 2005. My thanks to Jim Pogue and Saul Chernos for putting this test together.

One more CFFX note that I neglected to add: as I was making the long drive from Rochester downstate today, I checked out the CFFX signal one last time on the way east from Rochester. It was coming in quite listenably from just east of Rochester (out of the WROC 950 splash) to just east of Syracuse (into WIBX 950 Utica's sidebands), with a bit of WATS 960 Sayre PA mixing in.

Re: [IRCA] Madison WI 1310
Dan, Sorry, it was WHA on 970 that I heard with clear ID at about 535est. I was listening to the end of their state news...what caught my ear was mention of "Superior" and listening in what they were talking about was something to do with "UW-Superior", the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Then they went into statewide weather and then the clear WHA ID...thrilling...I had been there some years ago as part of my job and know right where their studios are. Not sure why I said 1310...should have tried for WIBA right? GGeorge A.

[IRCA] I KNOW I heard some Morse Code/Sweep Tones
Guys and guys... Im fiddling around with my SRF-59 tonight to see what I can get. Well, so far, the dominant station on 960 is WFIR Roanoke, Virginia. I confirmed it via their website, as I was hearing Michael Savage (he has an unmistakeable voice).. and WFIR's website confirms he's on. Anyways, I tuned the SRF-59 dial a tad bit to the right... I wasn't quite on 960 anymore but I don't know if I was on 970 either as I didn't really hear anything but a bunch of static. I know where my "marker" stations are, 870 WWL and 1020 KDKA. I heard a few short and long bursts of morse code at 9:47pm.. then a pause and a short burst of sweeptones and another few short bursts of code at 9:50 pm then a few quick bursts at 9:52 I know it was NOT Radio Reloj as I VERY faintly heard the tick tick tick elsewhere.. but this was unmistakebly the same kind of Morse Code and Sweeptone type stuff the Broadcast Test Committee supplies to stations. Was I hearing 960 CFFX< but because I was slightly off frequency, tuned to the right of 960khz, only the sweep tones and code made it through.. or am I off my rocker and losing my mind? -- Sincerely, Paul B.

Re: [IRCA] More on the Eton E1
We keep getting conflicting info here. First we learned that all E1's were being discontinued. Elsewhere we learned that E1XM was being retained and the E1-without-XM was being discontinued because it would compete too close in price to the Sat750 that's due out any day now. And now it's the E1XM being axed and the XM-less version being kept/ Which is it? I agree though, who needs XM on a DXing receiver?

Whoa Nellie ... forget WROL ... make that WNTD Chicago... http://www.relevantradio.com/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?&pid=469 Relevant Radio has begun broadcast operations on WNTD 950 AM - Chicago. Effective immediately 950 AM will broadcast Relevant Radio programming 5 am - 7 pm Monday through Friday. The process is in motion to finalize a lease with an option to purchase 950 AM. We were informed only just recently that the lease agreement with Relevant Radio for WAIT 820 AM, set to expire at the end of November 2007, will not be renewed. Therefore, we will no longer be broadcasting Relevant Radio on 820 AM as of November 25, 2007. We are grateful that Relevant Radio will still be able to serve the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Diocese of Joliet. If you live in proximity of Joliet or the western suburbs, you may be within reach of station Relevant Radio 930 AM. We encourage you to try tuning in both 930 AM and 950 AM while at home and in your travels throughout the Chicago area. - Original Message - From: "Paul LaFreniere" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 8:27 PM Subject: [IRCA] Relevant Radio 950 > > Scott Fybush-- > > Any idea what station is Relevant Radio 950?

[IRCA] Spanish mystery 1380
Mostly Mexican style music. Candidates include NC and CT, and if TN is still on then the TN station. My hunch is NC. Earlier lots of mentions of Guatemala, one of Mexico...lots of use of the word 'manyana' between songs. Monday evening at Burnt River. Anyone know if one of these stations is getting out well tonight, or other candidates? saul ___ 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] CFFX 960 alert
In fact, CFFX is noted here on what seems most likely to be day pattern and power. I know the test is automated. The engineer has an early morning to prep for and do the 6 am EST shutdown. So this may last until 6 am. So while I encourage any of you to try early, I'll be disappointed if you don't at least give one or all three of the test periods a shot. So if you've never logged CFFX, get thee to a radio asap. I will think particularly well of those of you who log it on a Sony SRF59 or other UL radio. I am happy to take any queries between now and through test time. If I don't answer, leave a message.

[IRCA] DX TEST REMINDER - TONITE - CFFX 960
DX TEST -- 960 CFFX ON Kingston TIME: Early morning of Tuesday January 15 (Monday night). MODE OF OPERATION: CFFX will test using its 10,000-watt daytime directional pattern. PROGRAMMING: Regular adult contemporary programming. Special test material will consists of three hourly voice announcements followed by special test material lasting several minutes. These will air roughly at the top of the hour, at approximately , 0100 and 0200 EST, give or take a few minutes depending on the program log. Wouldn't surprise me if voice ancts are just before the TOH. CFFX is completing its move to 104.3 on the FM band this morning, and 960 is scheduled to sign off for goood at 0600 EST. It also wouldn't surprise me if they keep the same power and pattern until the very end. As part of the transition, the AM has simulcast the FM for the past three months. This test marks the final phase of the transition, and the test content will also air on 104.3. This is your last chance to log CFFX on 960, so for those of you who tend to sleep through these things (you know who you are, heh, been there done that) if it takes two alarm clocks to wake you, well, you've been warned! I plan to be awake and DXing 960 (and other channels if cx warrant) through the -0210 EST test period and am happy to take calls (not collect) at 705-454-9636.

Re: [IRCA] Victoria Coast Station 1630?
Checking my old 1977 SPEEDX utility Guide, I find Victoria Coastal Radio/VAK in Sooke, BC, with a frequency of 2458 kHz. 1630 seems an unlikely frequency for a coastal station so perhaps you did transcribe it wrong. Or was this perhaps a time instead of freq?

Re: [IRCA] Police band radio on medium wave freqs
>From family homestead at Pt. Judith, RI, regularly heard NH SP Troop B, if recall correctly, near Manchester Airport & occasionally Concord, but not Troop F transmitter on Mt. Washington. When driving in NH, heard most lo-band SP's. Vacationed for years at Balsams in Dixville Notch. Hotel didn't mind shot of coil wire discretely hung from high room window, great sigs from all over, daytime copy of WABC 770 & WQXR 1560. KCA 999 on 156.09 well heard throughout NH while driving. This mighta been what I heard from Providence, OCT '68, ca. 1800 KHz? If not them, another PD identifying qth as NH. Didn't consider it remarkable at time, as lacked knowledge on subject, also my Nova-Tech Pilot II tuning scale had 'police' imprinted in range, so figured set was working fine. BC-200XLT w/telescopic whip or regular duck antler pulled NH SP Troop F Twin Mountain, transmitting from Mt. Washington w/ease, along w/Troop E Moultonboro, and several others, while up in Dixville Notch. Reportedly NH SP has switched to VHF Hi digital, after dismal foray into 800 megs which didn't quite take to mountainous terrain. Didn't quite see need to shift from lo-band, nor did troopers I asked about it some years ago, during Troop F tour. As w/many rural RI & CT PDs, NH SP did/does regular police work in rural areas. z pvz mk fl **Start the year off right.

[IRCA] 2008 Ultralight Radio AM-DX Shootout... New Contenders Added!
Hello All, Thank you all for giving me more wonderful excuses to purchase new, exciting Ultralight radio models! The 2008 Ultralight Shootout was forced to recruit two additional contenders because of the unfortunate arrival of a very poor-performing C.Crane SWP model, which forces us to prepare for the contingency that its pedestrian performance is typical of the design, and not worthy of a spot in the highly competitive Shootout. Accordingly, please be advised that the Sony SRF-S84 AM-FM analog receiver ($99 from Wall Street Photo via Amazon), and the Sangean DT-220V digital model ($47.76 from Dependable Resource via Amazon) will be fully available for participation in the 2008 Shootout, assuming that they do not also arrive in a Turkey status. The 2008 Shootout is already acquiring an extensive dossier of QC problems with certain models, and in the interest of full disclosure to all Ultralight Radio fanatics, this will receive due attention in the Shootout "Hall of Shame." However, please be advised that the vast majority of Ultralight radios are dependable, thrilling, innovative and emancipating little DX wonders that are the perfect cure for winter boredom. Get one today, and find out why even experienced DXers are acting like totally transformed fanatics! 73 and Best Wishes to All, Gary DeBock **Start the year off right.
