Re: [IRCA] KOHI to 1700??
The OM at KAST said the time ran out and they decided not to build it. But as far as I know the FCC has not given it to anyone else. Lots of issues running 10 KW from the KAST site, as the CG air station is a mile away, the High School, and other things too. I don't think New NW BCers really wanted to deal with the cost of moving it either. Plus the CP for the FM had priority. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] KOHI to 1700??
The only reason KAST did not move to 1700 is -- that they would have to give up 1370, and like alot of the others -- felt that no one would listen to them, once they moved to the upper band. First the FCC proposed as many as 125 stations, then after protests and court review, it was down to about 90. 84 were given allotments in the new band. Only some 50 stations were built. Like KAST, most just felt it was to great a risk to move to the top and not be able to keep 100 % of the listeners.The USCG had np problems with 1700 running 10 KW. And the new FM did get priority over a move to 1700 Khz. ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] Congratulations and a heartfelt thanks
Hello Allen, Thank you for your very kind words, but at least from my viewpoint, I should be thanking YOU (and Robert Ross, of course) for showing everybody in North America, and the world, what kind of DX these Ultralight radios are capable of receiving. Just at the time when the Shootout articles, alignments, administration and other duties kept me from doing much Ultralight DXing myself--- you, Rob and many others stepped up to the challenge and absolutely thrilled all of us (not only Ultralight DXers, but others in the AM-DX community) with your fantastic loggings. Yesterday at the enjoyable meeting of AM-DXers at Bruce Portzer's fine home in Seattle, Washington, I was discussing with Nick Hall-Patch how the Canadians have really done the major share of Ultralight DXing until now, and how much we depend on Colin Newell's outstanding dxer.ca web site. Ultralight DXing would really be ultra-light without the Canadian contribution, and I am proud and happy to wear the Team Canada cap and T-shirt from Rob Ross, who has generously proclaimed me the leader of the Canadian Lazyboy DX Team, hi. Thanks again for all your fantastic DX contributions, Allen. 73, Gary DeBock **Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Well Allen...thanks for the flowers..but I think there's a guy out on the East Coast of Newfoundland that's done pretty darn good on the Ol' ULR's as well Congrats to you too Allen.I may be hearing a pile of Stations..but you pretty much have the All Time Countries heard on ULR's wrapped up!! Unless someone moves to Cape Verde Island.or some of the guys in Lapland get into ULR'ing..you're gonna be the King!! You really are on a tear there Robert and it brings a big smile to this old Dxer's face to see your passion and enthusiasm for AM and Ultralight Dxing.

You have all done the AM and Ultralight Dxing world proud and given AM and Ultralight Dxing a big boost in gaining prospective hobbyists. Wellyou know Allenthere's a whole squad of ULR Geeks who have brought this Subculture to the forefront of AM DX'ing...I came in somewhere near the Middle.it was already well established BEFORE I even knew what a ULR was!! Of course Gary is the one who is responsible for bringing me into the cult..I knew I should never have drank that blasted Purple Kool Aid!!! I know that the combined efforts of all the people you mentioned..and a few more as wellhave helped to introduce this phase of listening to a pile of New ULR Usersbut...there are still a lot of people who think we are a little goofyand may very well NEVER obtain or use a ULR!! Some simply believe that what they are using now is superior.(which it very well may be)..and they aren't going to be bothered with goofing around with a Pocket Radio and an Analog Dial. That's cool too...'cause there's lots of room in the hobby to accommodate both beliefs. One thing I do say to those that don't want ...or need to try out an Ultralight Radio...even if you don't end up using the ULR as your main DX rigyou will be AMAZED at what they will do under certain conditions..and I assure you that you WILL hear NEW STATIONS if you use the ULRI don't care how many stations you have in the log..if you use a ULRyour log will grow!! So..Give it try guys...the Cost of participating is so ridiculously low.you have nothing to loseand only something to gain by trying it out!! Even if you hear something Exotic on the Ultralightbut it's coming in better on the DRAKE or other Fancy Receiver, with a 1,000 foot beverage.you have to sit and stare at the ULR and wonder how the heck that single AA Battery is even hearing the station in the first place. Hearing a New Station is always exciting..but hearing it on a radio smaller than a deck of Cards.gives me Goosebumps!! That's one ULR User's opinionYour milage may vary .better or worse!! Have fun and good DX to ULR Users and Non ULR Users alike ...as long as you're hearin' 'emthat's what counts! 73.ROB. Robert S. Ross VA3SW Box 1003, Stn. B.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI to 1700??
Mike, As far as KAST goes, I am just repeating what their OM told me. There was concern over 10 KW from the KAST site. As they were looking at 5 KW there many years ago and were told, they may have to move. The CG was a concern, enviormentalists in this day and all, the towers on the Bay, New ground system, etc. The FM had Priority and New NW BCers had just so much money to spend. But you are right that some stations did not want to chance the frequency move. After all KAST has been on 1370 since the 30s and they are the number one AM rated station in the county and has been forever. From a personal standpoint, I am glad they did let 1700 go as I did not look forward to a 10 KWer 5 miles away Their 1 KWer on 1370 is not strong here and DXwise it fits me fine. Plus the plan was to keep both frequencies (somehow) and continue to run News Talk on 1370 and Sports on 1700. Mike, do you think the FCC will reopen X Band apps and give stations a second shot? 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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

After all KAST has been on 1370 since the 30s and they are the number one AM rated station in the county and has been forever. And day coverage would be very similar.

[IRCA] New logging
A Blessed Sunday to you all: I was sitting in the car this morning waiting for my wife and listening to 1590 kHz. At 10 a.m. I logged the following new station. 1590 WTRW WITwo Rivers on top w/beautiful signal, WTRW, Two Rivers-Manitowoc, AM 1590 ID, into CNN nx, a real surprise. (Oh yeah, 2/17/08, 1000) My wife came out, we drove to Athens, and I preached at First Presbyterian Church there. I used to think that if I ever preached there and told them what I really believed they would kick me clear back to Albany (they being quite liberal). But they are very nice, polite folks. All went very well. 73's (Rev.)

Re: [IRCA] KOHI to move antenna
--- Patrick Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul, True, the FCC is not oking any new CPs for the X Band. It was just a comment. But Patrick, your comment makes you look not er um up to date and with it I couldn't think of the right word. And well, the FCC IF they EVER open the expanded band will be years if not decades, and maybe not ever. The quick fix would be would be for 1700 to have been built and sold to have KOHI take that frequency and then delete 1600. It didn't happen and won't. KOHI has always had an issue with QRM, but since the tower move, their signal is weaker so the QRM is worse, plus Blaine WA is now on 1600. KOHI has always suffered from QRM from Eugene, even going back to the late 60s under KASH and they were Top 40 rock. KOHI should have applied back in the 90s for an X Band channel, as they fit the app very well. That by no means would have gotten them the frequency. Not even close unfortunately. KAST Astoria applied for 1700 (KCHT) and got it, but decided not to build. They used the money to put on a new FM instead, so they let 1700 go. KOHI would have been great there as the nearest station on there is Tecate, Mexico. That doesn't mean as much as the lower frequencies. That far up the band 1700 has a lot of shortwave characteristics. Even as low as 1560 there's ALWAYS skip (albeit very high angle) during the daytime. That's more pronounced at 1700. And at night the skywave certainly is a major problem for listeners in the close in local area for the listeners. The 1630 in Augusta, GA on the VERY best nights when the skip is low is 15 miles. On nights when skip smokin' and the A and K index is low. maybe UP TO 10 miles at THE very best. 10,000 watts at 1700 and 250 watts on 540.well give me the 540 any day! And that boring religious canned talk KOHI runs, in my opinion IS NOT serving the local area. It's not local. Just BORING.very B O R I N G religious talk that has NO local content.

[IRCA] Fwd: [mwc] JAPAN news
From Steve Whitt on the Medium Wave Circle list: American Forces Network's Surf 648-AM will be back on the air Feb. 18 after being off the air for about a year. The AM station will restore news, talk and sports-talk programming to the AFN airwaves on Okinawa and will offer an alternative to FM radio's music-based format. The new AM program lineup will feature popular programming such as National Public Radio, political talk shows and sports shows, such as Sports Overnight America, according to Master Sgt. Grady Fontana, AFN Okinawa detachment chief. The biggest benefit is that listeners now have more options, Fontana said. If they want music, they can tune into Wave 89-FM. If they want news and talk, then they can catch it on Surf 648-AM. AFN's new AM antenna is in the final stages of testing, and, pending any delays due to bad weather, will launch Feb. 18 at 6 a.m. with NPR. The AM antenna, located at Camp Kinser, was damaged during routine maintenance in January 2007. For full AM and FM schedules, log on to http://myafn.net and follow the links to affiliates.

[IRCA] IBOC push
I noticed that Ibiquity is mailing postcards to radio broadcasters encouraging them to upgrade now before the license fees increase on July 1, 2008. The card mentions that there are now over 50 HD Radio receiver models available with prices starting at $99. It also says there are presently over 1,500 HD radio stations and over 700 multicast channels. In a cruel twist of fate the postcard sent to our Denver cluster landed squarely in my mailbox.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI to move antenna
That's exactly what I said Powell. Accent Radio Network is boring and uninteresting.. the network is only on stations in 3 cases: A.) Stations that are owned by the network 2.) Stations Owned by friends 3.) Stations they pay for the time on. No station I know of has ever willingly taken that gow awful dreck for progrmaming and put it on their station for free unless they fell into those 3 catergories. I know I didn't. And you're right, their ARN and USA programming in no way serves the local community. Oh wait,they do serve the local community when they run high power on Friday nights to do sports. It's so obvious they do run high power, as Dennis posts when he hears it.. but because everyone is obsesed with KOHI and loves the station, it's OK for them to run high power... but the minute a spanish station runs higher power.. it's NOT ok.

[IRCA] Sony AM/FM IC papers
I just saw this link posted on the Sony 2010 discussion group a few minutes ago http://staff.washington.edu/paymana/radio/sony.zip The file is a collection of papers written by Sony Engineers on various consumer receiver IC's. At least one of them looks a lot like the CXA1129N used in the SRF-59 etc. If it is, it has the complete pin diagram and internal block diagram. I've briefly perused a couple of the files and they look fascinating.

Re: [IRCA] Sony AM/FM IC papers
Hello Bruce, Thanks for the info, and also for the very warm welcome yesterday by your family to a diverse group of AM-DX enthusiasts (and also my 8-year old son, who greatly appreciated the coloring material provided by your wife). The provider of the link containing the Sony AM-FM IC papers, Payman Arabshahi, is a physics professor at UW, and is also one of the biggest Ultralight radio supporters. He notified us directly about this link over a month ago, and Nick, Steve Ratzlaff and I have been reading these interesting files for some time. Because the link contains copyrighted I.E.E.E. documents, however, we never publicized its existence on this list. Payman is a great Ultralight radio supporter, and I met him last summer, when I performed an ICF-S5W alignment for him here in Puyallup. Since then, he has been most helpful in tracking down any documentation we need. 73, Gary **Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Re: [IRCA] KAST to 1700
Powell Mike, Thanks for the info. Good! I am happy that 1700 would probably not become a reality. 1570 was a CP for 50/1 KW for Warrenton, but the tx site was going to be next to KAST and one tower would be used. That CP never went anywhere either. The station was basically going to be a relay for KPAM-860-Portland. Pamphin wanted a NW Network for his talk shows. I think they even wanted a 50 KWer in the Puget Sound on 740. I am glad none of that came to be either. I hope it never does. On a side note, there is a CP for Raymond WA for 1350 with 5/.5 KW. I wonder if that will be built? 1340 KAPA couldn't make it after KSWW-97.7 came on and now the 1340 is in Tumwater run by KUOW. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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

One must appreciate what the moderators have to do to keep this site moving smoothly, and focused.

When I have an evening open, I'll check in to view what anyone is hearing on the East Coast, which isn't too often. I learned my lesson last year not to expect much; thanks Mark and a few others. If nothing there I move on... tomorrow it's old news anyway. It seems that unimportant chatter (UltraLight radios are the craze) and unecessary back and forth volley are flooding these pages.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI to move antenna
KOHI used to have a Good CW local sound. Not canned. When Forrie Smith owned it, the station was local. Forrie worked on the air there for years. I think he still has or had? a program recently. He sold the station (Volcano Broadcasting) as he was burned out. Forrie is probably 50ish now. But canned talk from a nothing network will not bring in the listeners. It was always a fight to keep listeners anyway, being so close to Portland. That was the big advantage of being local. Without that, then why even listen to KOHI, when Portland stations are 25 miles away? But of course is is less expensive to run canned stuff. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] KOHI to move antenna
Powell, The reason I made the X Band comment about KOHI, is I have no idea what the FCC might or might not do. Not having a direct connection with broadcasting any longer, I had no clue. That is why people like myself depend on your insight. Since many decided not to build their X Band station, the FCC did not meet their quota per se, so I fiqured they may reopen the window to try and get more stations to move. With no one in the West on 1700, it is wide open, except in So Cal with Tecate, Mexico. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX Equipment......NOT!!! AHHAHAH....
Pro-Ultralight Radio Agit-Prop is dangerously Heavy Handed on these lists, which are probably bought and paid for by Sony Corpse. Watch the underwriters, follow the money. The fact that you weigh in on the topic with such light tone leads to suspicion of undue influence and pressure, perhaps visited by heavyweights from this list. Perhaps you've been bought and you're now one of THEM. Not sure you can be trusted, but a warning to anyone who will listen: Watch those Canadians. What they say cannot be trusted. Do not take them lightly. Talk is all ultralight but words fall like a lead balloon. A further warning: Soviet-technology Prison Radios were used for communication by Putin Operatives carrying very heavy doses of Polonium 210 during secret visits to Westminster and Environs. They were not intending to DX Trans-Atlantics, contrary to popular Communist-inspired mythology. Be warned, this is most insidious. Don't tell me you're innocent.

Re: [IRCA] OT: #5000 Received
Hi Konnie Hi Konnie I live in the Toronto area and consider myself to be in the east. My experiences have been the opposite of yours. When there are tests (some of which occur in the east) there is a lot of traffic on this list. People reporting what they're hearing or not hearing. I'm saddened that you write off Ultralight radios as unimportant chatter. DXing is DXing regardless of the equipment. Rob Ross in London ON has become an avid ultralight DXer and has an impressive list of catches. Not only does he report what he's heard, but when there are openings he's quick to report them as they're happening. I've been able to make use of his tips. It's unfortunate that the times when you've been able to check the list mail didn't correspond to activity in the east. I've found the list messages to be quite helpful.

I learned my lesson last year not to expect much If nothing there I move on... tomorrow it's old news anyway. It seems that unimportant chatter (UltraLight radios are the craze) and unecessary back and forth volley are flooding these pages. ___ 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
