[IRCA] TPs for 17 Jan

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Not as good this morning, I fear (listened off and on from 1430 to 
1550UT).   The regulars all delivered a bit of audio at various 
times, but nothing was consistently worthwhile.


Asian unless indicated otherwise:


Darn good audio, if briefly:  none

Reasonable audio  (though often battling w/splash):  none really, 
although the ones in the next category may have briefly risen to the occasion.

Not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise:  594, 
747,774, 828, 1566

Burbles in the splatter:   279, 612 DU

strong carrier, no audio:   639, 855 (hum)



This evening (18 Jan 0615UTC), traces of audio on 738, traces of a 
carrier on 1215 in the opposite direction, and carriers on 846, 1017 
and 1098

best wishes,

Nick

[D1028Gary]

Rob and Other Ultralight Radio Brothers,
 
 Sorry to give you the threat of more awful  poetry.  I have just 
purchased 4 SRF-39FP's myself, for Rob Ross, and other  deserving SRF-59 
fanatics.
 
 Rob, your very own SRF-39FP, fully aligned for  extremely liberating 
prison DX, will be sent to you without delay, as a  token of your American 
brothers' deep appreciation of your Ultralight Radio  enthusiasm.
 
  
  73,  Gary

Rob,
 
 As the culprit who kicked off the whole Ultralight  Revolution, I am 
going to make it my top priority that YOU GET your  SRF-39FP  prison radio, 
even 
if I have to give you mine.
 
 Kevin, Bruce, Gil, Joe, and all my other "partners  in crime,"  are you 
all listening?  Rob needs a prison radio!   This is one super-motivated 
Ultralight dude, brothers, and it's high time we get  him what he deserves.  
I'll 
gladly reimburse anybody who comes up with an  SRF-39FP for Rob, but let's show 
this Super Canadian that Americans can be just  as fanatical as Canadians, 
when it comes to Ultralight Radio  enthusiasm.
 
 Brothers, if you don't come up with an  SRF-39FP ASAP, you may be forced 
to read more of my awful poetry so let's  all give that American eBay 
seller some serious business, and nail down some  SRF-39FP's for Rob, and other 
deserving members of the revolution.
 
  
73,  Gary

Thanks, Scott!  I hadn't seen this message when I posted my previous 
message, but it looks like we've converged on the same solution. :-)
I think it's time to lay this one gently to rest!  It's not a new one 
here anyway - I logged WPLY (with a dual WPLY/WVPO ID) back in Feb. 
2007.

Cheers,

Barry

Re: [IRCA] Re; UNID on 960

[Barry McLarnon]

Thanks for all of your comments - the mystery deepens!

After more listening, I've concluded that I was mistaken about the 
"newsradio" bit.  There is a "new" in there, I think, but it's not 
"newsradio".  As for the call, none of the suggestions (WPLY, WDLM, 
WFIR, WLPR, etc) sound quite right to me.  But I have a theory.  I 
think WPLY may be the right answer, but that's not the call used in 
this particular ID.  WPLY simulcasts WVPO-840, and I think it may be 
"new 840-960 WVPO... talk radio" - though I must admit, it doesn't 
sound a lot like "840" in there.  That's as far as I've gotten with 
it, anyway.

I've been tramping all over the tri-state (NYC) area and didn't get a 
chance to sit down and give this thing a close listen until tonight. I 
ran it through a whole bunch of noise reduction, and here's what I think 
I hear:

There are at least two stations here, one with a woman's voice reading a 
phone number that ends in "34-71." Under that, the target station fades 
up with "and AM 960, WVPO, Talk Radio." There's a man's voice after 
that, just before the clip ends, that says "8:31 at WV" and then the 
clip cuts off.

It's true that WVPO isn't on 960 - it's 840 in Stroudsburg PA - but the 
two stations simulcast with a talk format (no Air America, as it turns 
out; it's Imus followed by a bunch of second-stringers) and brand as 
"WVPO." The WPLY calls are used only once an hour.

That's what I hear, anyway. I'm e-mailing Barry my noise-reduced 
version, which he's welcome to post...

Special congratulations to Bjarne Mjelde in Berlevag, Norway, on hearing the

Well GaryI am having a riot with these Crazy little things!!! I have 
been DX'ing since about 1976 .at least that's when I started what could 
be called Organized DX'ing. Used to Tune for Montreal Canadiens Hockey 
Games much before that in the Late 60's and early 70's...yeah...I'm a Habs 
Fan!! I used to pick up lots of Long Distance stations back thenbut 
never really realized what I was hearing..nor did I keep track til 
later on!!

In the last 10 yearsI really haven't done much AM BCB DX...but this 
little Radio Craze has made it fun again!!! You don't have to thank me for 
being Enthusiastic.it comes naturally!!! If I like something...I always 
give it 110 % Effort...and as you can tell...I'm loving this!!

I went to EBAY to see if I could buy one of the PRISON RADIOS as 
wellbut the guy selling them on EBAYstates that he will ONLY SHIP 
TO USA!!  What a drag.It would have been fun to pick up one of these as 
well..as believe it or not.

I work in The Court Security Unit of the London Police Dept here...and my 
Job is to Transport Prisoners back and forth to courtand Baby sit them 
in the Cellblock at the Court House here in London. These little Radios 
with the Clear case would have been a real Converstional piece at work!!! I 
don't know why some of the sellers refuse to ship to us up here  Maybe 
they think it is too much of a hassle???

Anyway..Maybe some other seller will offer them and I can pick one up!!

Gonna go and listen for a few hours tonite and see what's happening???

[IRCA] NEWS FLASH!!! The Latest Firsts with an Ultralight Radio

[John H. Bryant]

I swore that I was going to leave you guys alone about Firsts and 
Records for a few days, but, gee,

Allen Willie and his magic SRF-M37V just checked in with loggings, 
barefoot, from St. John's Newfoundland to Sweden, Spain, Kuwait, 
Monaco and Luxembourg. That's five new country Firsts and our first 
European and first African loggings from North America... all onna 
radio that is half the size of a deck of cards!

The intrepid Gil Stacy also has submitted our first logging of the 
Dominican Republic... And Rob Ross won't take his headphones off long 
enough to check which records that he has broken... today :>)

AND Dennis Vroom is currently at the Grayland Motel with pockets 
bulgingly full of Ultralight radios.

Yah-hoo! Let the good times roll.

Rob,
 
 If every Ultralight Radio DXer was as enthusiastic  and successful as 
you, the entire AM-DX community would be transformed overnight  into a raging, 
supercharged group of pocket-radio fanatics!
 
 You are the best possible example of nuclear-level  Ultralight 
enthusiasm in action... your brothers in the Revolution salute you,  and stand 
in awe 
of your phenomenal daily DX accomplishments.  Ounce for  ounce, your SRF-59's 
have surely received more DX than any radios in history,  and when "bang for

Rock on, brother!

[IRCA] KCFR Denver to move from AM to FM leaving 1340 for sale

[Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW]

>From the Denver Business Journal:

KCFR, Colorado Public Radio's news-and-information channel, is moving
back to the high-fidelity FM band with the purchase of a new frequency
for the station. 

The main reasons for the change are "better [audio] quality and the fact
that most people expect to find public radio on the left hand side of
the FM dial," Max Wycisk, president of Centennial-based Colorado Public
Radio (CPR), said Wednesday. 

CPR plans to purchase Denver station 88.1 FM from EMF Broadcasting of
Rocklin, Calif., for $8.2 million. The 88.1 signal currently carries
Christian music under the brand K-LOVE. 
CPR said it will move its KCFR news channel from 1340 AM to 90.1 FM, the
frequency now used by its classical-music station, KVOD. 
KVOD would then slide down the FM dial to 88.1 FM. CPR plans to put its
1340 AM frequency up for sale. 

The changes will take effect this spring, subject to Federal
Communications Commission approval, CPR said. 

EMF Broadcasting will continue to carry the K-LOVE programming on its
91.1 FM frequency, where K-LOVE is now simulcast. 
KCFR features the national news broadcasts "All Things Considered" and
"Morning Edition," as well as talk, arts and feature programs such as
"Fresh Air," "Talk of the Nation" and "This American Life." 

It also carries local news and the interview program "Colorado Matters"
and world-news broadcasts from the British Broadcasting Corp. 
Until 2001, CPR broadcast both news and music on a single FM frequency.
Then it split its programming into two stations, moving news to AM and
keeping music on FM.

I got one of these little fellows a few days ago, through eBay,
as a result of a posting here saying just a few were left.
It was about $15 + shipping.

It seems to live up to the hype. I can actually find space between
domestic channels, and it has good sensitivity and pretty
good nulling. I was getting WDBO Orlando 580 last night
coming past my strong local on 570, mixing with a LA with
romantic ballads, possibly HIAF up briefly  though I think
they should have been off by then. On some sets here,
580 is hard to work with any usable signal.

It tunes very similarly to the way my old Radioshack TRF 12-655
behaved, as I recall it. But the absence of a usable dial scale
is somewhat annoying. The thickness of the dial pointer
is much greater than the spread on the dial of adjacent
stations. If there was a way to add a LCD freq readout,
this would be awesome.

I know it reaches 518 as I was hearing "thumping" from the
AM-mode demodulation of NavTex, and it sounded centered,
not on "edge". I haven't tried to see how high it tunes yet.

Mine came in a cardboard carton with a Koss earbud headset,
but no instruction book. It would have been interesting to read,
though I suppose, short on any real detail. Obviously it is
transparent to alleviate the hiding of contraband.

It'll be handy for sniffing around to find local noise sources.
Do I get the record for logging the most distant insulator
arcing? hi

Re: [IRCA] Sony SRF-39FP.... So Much Fun They May Put You in Jail!

[Gil Stacy]

The current ebay vendor for the 39FP has been steadily raising the price on
the item, not by raising the cost of the radio ($14.95), but by the old ebay
vendor trick of  increased shipping costs.  When Kevin first published his
purchase, the shipping price was $4.95 flat.  Last week, it was $5.95.  This
week, $6.95.  He has probably noted increased demand and increase prices
accordingly.  He also lists no more than 3 available at a time, but when
those are gone, up pop 3 more.  You can't find it under the model number.
Search "Sony prison".  Someone (Kevin?) published a list of mail order
vendors and the cheapest price is $12.95 but with a "modest" shipping cost
of over $12.00.

Re: [IRCA] 960 Fun - Not WELI/WKCI

[Konnie Rychalsky]

Barry,
I listened to your clip many times... thru many speakers and headsets...
1) It doesn't sound like my local 960 WELI which our household listens to 
daily... I've been there and our family has been featured on one of their talk 
programs within the past year.  Yes, WKCI is their FM sister by ownership only, 
and by no means is it them, the two are completely different formats so you can 
scrap that guessing by some on this list.
2) I am not hearing "Newsradio 960" as you mentioned.  Instead I'm hearing: 
"9-60 (Call) 'Talk Radio'" and not "news radio";
3) I cannot find on a list what I'm hearing.. but it is very likely that any 
list may not yet be updated.  First listen I'm gravitating to WVBR, WBBR, WBVR 
or any combo with an E.  Some possibilites are: WLPR-AL, WFIR-VA, even 
WAVR//WATS-PA.  Of course, if any list may be outdated by call letters, it's 
even more likely that the formats listed surely have changed even more so.
4) Final, I can't make it out for sure.. but definately rule out WELI (WKCI).  
Perhaps your recording(s) can uncover a few more clues.  Good luck. It was fun, 
as you said. 73s

[IRCA] Sony SRF-39FP.... So Much Fun They May Put You in Jail!

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
 If you are guilty of way too much Ultralight DX  fun and are headed for 
the slammer,  Sony has just the radio for you!
 
 Provided courtesy of Kevin Schanilec, my  accomplice in serious 
Ultralight DXing crime, this transparent little ancestor  of the SRF-59 was 
actually 
designed for prison inmates... but it works just  as well for those guilty of 
Ultralight radio fanaticism.  One of the first  Sony radios to deploy the 
incredible CXA1129 30-pin IC chip (responsible for the  SRF-59's ridiculously 
sensitive and selective performance), the SRF-39FP is just  the trick for those 
who 
have always wondered about the SRF-59's incredible  circuitry, but were 
afraid to take it apart.  It's the closest you'll ever  come to the circuitry, 
unless you are an SRF-59 alignment technician (a  profession which, by the way, 
appears to offer extreme job security  currently).
 
 If you would like one of these little jewels, you  will need to take 
your chances on eBay, because they are currently no longer in  production.  But 
if you can track one down, I assure you that your efforts  will be deeply 
rewarded-- the SRF-39FP not only has a much larger tuning thumb  wheel than the 
SRF-59 (making the analog tuning actually fun, at least for this  fanatic), but 
also has an excellent alignment quality control record (my unit  was 
competitive with a fully aligned SRF-59 right out of the box, and every  other 
SRF-39FP 
I have heard of was also very sensitive as received).  The  Chinese factory 
which manufactured the SRF-39FP's apparently was a model for  quality control, 
and the current SRF-59 factory QC managers deserve indictment  for negligence, 
by comparison. 
 
  The SRF-39FP (FP means "For Prison") is a  true status symbol for the 
ultimate SRF-59 fanatic, and as you log your TP's,  TA's and other exotic DX in 
the future, you'll be ready for the slammer, on the  charge of having way too 
much DXing pleasure!
 
  
   73 and Good Ultralight DX to All,
 
  
  Gary DeBock

[IRCA] Beverage antenna

[Patrick Martin]

Yesterday I went out to double check the angle on the beverage I
re-installed a few weeks ago. In the process, I found a couple slight
dog legs in the wire, but not bad. I did strainghten it and it seems to
be a bit better with less side lobes. The side lobes seem to be less
atrusive. There is always sidelobes, but the straighter the wire the
better. 
  Also I changed the WNW EWE a bit again, more towards the NW another
degree or two. I found the PVC pole had warped a bit, so the vertical
section was off a bit at an angle, so I moved it over a foot. I don't
know if it made that much difference, but the difference in a few
degrees brought in a decent signal from KBRW earlier in the season
topping KNBR, so you never know if that degree or two can make a
difference.

73,

Patrick

Re: [IRCA] KLFE-1590

[Patrick Martin]

Pete,

You may be right. It may have been cx and the KLFE signal was not
present strong enough to put out the het. KLFE is not directional this
way and for years I never heard them often. It was easier to hear WAKR.
But I had to make changes in the Eastern beverage, and I started hearing
KLFE more often.

Don't waste your time. The foreign info is so far out of date that
they'll probably not do anything about it anyway.

Re: [IRCA] Weekly Update of Ultralight Radio DXing Firsts and Records.

[John Callarman]

I suppose I shouldn't mention this, since I was busy with other things and 
didn't turn on the NRD-525 to see if there was anything to it, but I did have a 
het last night on KOKC-1520 on the SRF-59. I thought I might check to see if 
anyone else was hearing unusually strong TA reception, but "other things" took 
precedence. Would have been impossible to identify, if it was anything away. 
The only TA I've heard in Krum in 7 1/2 years was the Norwegian on 1304 last 
year when it was consistent for several nights back when it was booming in 
everywhere else! But nothing to claim.

I did hear XEUACH-1610 again at good strength on the SRF-M37V early in the 
evening and moved to the SRF-59 and found it at equal strength. Someone, 
probably in Stillwater,  is going to top my distance record for 250 watts soon!

  Subject: [IRCA] Weekly Update of Ultralight Radio DXing Firsts and Records.




  We've had quite a bit of activity in the past week and have blown 
  away several records including, the Top of the Heap, the World 
  Ultralight DXing Distance Record. That was held for over a month by 
  our illustrious Ultrafounder, Gary DeBock  5201 miles from 
  Puyallup, WA to HLCA-972, Dangjin, South Korea(Seoul) 
  11/22/2007(SRF-59).  Well, Gary has had to step aside. The new record 
  is 5424 miles now held by Allen Willie, St. John's, NF. He 
  heard  BSKSA-1521, Duba, Saudi Arabia on 1/4/2008 with a SRF-37V, barefoot!

  Rob Ross actually paused in his Ultralight DXing long enough to 
  submit for a few very nice new distance records, though I'm convinced 
  that he is qualified for several more darn guy just won't quit 
  DXing long enough to submit for records.

  Gil Stacy down in Savannah has continued his march through the 
  Caribbean, recording several First ultralight receptions from some of 
  the island nations, and establishing two new distance records at 
  10,000 watts.

  There are several other changes in the standings this week read 
  through the entire list a your leisure.  An almost up-to-date list is 
  in the new issue od DXM, the IRCA bulletin . You can also find it, 
  even more up to date (today's entries) at the Ultralight Radio files 
  area on dxer.ca. at 
  
http://www.dxer.ca/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,87/Itemid,77/
  I might add that there are a treasure-trove of other articles of 
  interest to Ultralighters at that site.

  Right now, there are very few records in the List for receptions with 
  Super-Modified Ultralight Radios.  We are actually keeping records 
  for two classes of radios Barefoot UltraLights and SuperModified 
  Ultralight Radios. The Super-Modified class of radio is a recognized 
  Ultralight receiver that has been modified or supplemented in any 
  way such as inductively coupling it to a large antenna, a tuned 
  loop, etc., or modifying it in any way, mechanically or 
  electrically.  So, if you are DXing with some modification, take the 
  time to look over the current records, your log book may be full of 
  record-setting catches that we don't know about!

  Submissions for Firsts and Records should be in an e-mail that is 
  titled to give me a hint of the Submission and can be posted here or 
  sent to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. They may 
be made at 
  any time.  For the next several months, at least, I intend to update 
  the list each Monday and post it to DXer.ca. About monthly, we will 
  likely submit it to Phil for the bulletin.

  I'll inform this group when a new Records List goes up on DXer.ca

  Send in those record loggings!!!

Rob,
900 WJLG's tower is under 3 miles from my house.  It just goes to show, one

Russ, Willis, Jerry,
Tnx.  Here's the erroneous FCC info:
*http://tinyurl.com/2rybnj* *  *I'll drop the FCC
an email.  In this case I'll trust my "lying ears" rather than my "lying
eyes."
Of all the SS stations I routinely pick up here near the GA coast, Radio
Monte Cristi is the easiest one other than Radio Reloj to id.  The
announcers seem quite proud of the fact that they work for RAH-DA-YO MONTE
CRISTI and announce the slogan between every muscial selection.

Pat,

I check them daily and I don't think they have been on frequency  
since the problem started. I'm not sure what atmospheric conditions  
prevailed when you indicated they were back on frequency but I don't  
they they have been back in sync at all.
