[IRCA] KBUZ et al

[Donald K. Kaskey]

Pat,

I remember KBUZ, in fact I remember their predecessor KTYL.  First heard
on 1490 from Iowa in 1950 and records show it was verified altho I also
show KTYL heard on 1310 after the switch and not verified.  From
California I heard 4 sets of calls for this station, starting with
KBUZ.  About 22-24 years ago local KMKY, then KDIA, was in financial
trouble and off the air for quite an extended time.  I had a ball with
1300 & 1310 (1320 didn't reward me with much) and caught a few of the
Mesa calls then.  By that time I had stopped sending for QSLs, after all
my international veries were lost in a flood around 1974 or so.

Re: [IRCA] DX Tips for WDXR

[Donald K. Kaskey]

Nice Pat, Congratulations!

I listened for about 15-20 minutes this eve around 1920-1935 PDT and finally 
got an ID from your KGED-1680-Fresno.  Tried for the local on 1260, what is 
it-KSFP?, but they didn't give an ID
during their religious call in show at 1930.  Other than that not much 
happening on the dials at that hour.

Re: [IRCA] Denied a QSL

[Patrick Martin]

Don,

I got a QSL from CFRA back in 65 from Seward AK. I think they had moved
to 580 by then. I have several QSLs from that era that the stations said
I was the first report from AK, including a non verifier at the time
KBUZ. The OM mentioned they don't generally respond to QSL requests, but
since my report was the first from the 49th state, they would respond.
But a few years later I reQSL'd them from Seaside. They had a form
letter within 3 years. So you never know if the next day a station
becomes a good QSLer. A lot of the flea power Midwest/ Eastern QSLs I
have received (well under 100w), I expected more raised eyebrows with
those from the stations, but maybe enclosing the cassette/CD does the
trick. I have less questionable receptions when they can listen to what
I heard. In many cases, the flea power signal is only there for a few
seconds. Being at the right place at the right time sort of thing and if
I am lucky the station will fade up at ID time, but more often than not,
they don't. The cassette with the timer has done the trick many times. 

73,

Patrick

Re: [IRCA] Denied a QSL

[Donald K. Kaskey]

I remember receiving a QSL Letter from CFRA-Ottawa Ont., believe they were on
560 at the time (December 1950), saying that my program content was exactly 
correct but they couldn't understand how I heard them as they beamed their 
signal almost totally away from me.  I was
in NW Iowa at the time.  They did verify, however grudgingly :-).  One of my 
other favorites was from KJNP-1170 in North Pole Alaska who very cheerily 
informed me that I was the first reporter
from the Lower 48 to contact them.  This was in the mid/late 60s from 
Sacramento CA.

[IRCA] TA evidence

[Nick Hall-Patch]

So far, it's limited to a faint carrier on 1215, fading in and out as early as 
0300UT and before (around local sunset), but not building to anything, at least 
yet.

[IRCA] TP's for Apr 3

[Nick Hall-Patch]

An odd morning, with the powerhouses not very strong for the most part, but a 
number of odd channels poking through.   Listened from 1330-1350UT, but judging 
from some of what Dennis heard, I should have started earlier.

Asian unless otherwise noted:


pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 594, 1566

reasonable audios (though often battling w/splash): 1575

not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 972 (huge carrier)

Burbles in the splatter and noise:  279, 738DU, 774, 954, 1017, 1134, 1287, 
1512 (thought this was DU because it was considerably weaker on the north Flag 
than the westerly one, but didn't actually put the loop antenna into action)

Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):  936, 
1053, 1242, 1475



best wishes,

Nick

Other than KMOX, I have struck out on 1120 as far as Us/Cdn stations go.
I did hear the SSB one morning on my car radio, under KMOX about 2 years
ago but I think that it was after local (Indianapolis) SRS, so it must
have been South or West of me.  Never did ID that bugger.  I think Oil
City is my best bet for #2 on 1120 but it is on a total opposite beam of
St. Louis meaning standard nulling would kill both station's signals.

Good luck, Joe.

I was thinking along those lines. I tried again last night, and KMOX was

interviewing Ronnie Milsap, making next to impossible to hear anything
else.

I'll try again tonight, and Friday, and ...

Re: [IRCA] Denied a QSL

[David Faulkner]

Group:

For awhile when I was younger I was interested in QSLs and collected
a few.  But I got discouraged when I reported reception of a certain station
in central New York (the Mohawk valley) which I heard immediately following
the WWJ sign-off (eat your heart out, Joe) on a Monday morning.  The station
only stayed on five minutes, but was on RS, was very clear, and I was able
to include specific news items, exact ID reports, and references to local
spots.  The CE refused to verify it was them, though he did repeat back to
me on the card the exact program details I had sent him.

This didn't happen recently, but while on the phone with Powell, the story
came to mind...

Back when I was living on my own, after high school, in Connecticut.. I was
tuning the AM dials and heard a station with very clear call letters, promos
and etc that very clearly identified the station. They were obviously
operating on day power/pattern.

I called up the station to inquire about how I could get one. I was told by
the then GM (I think it was the GM) that I would NOT get a QSL because
proving I heard them where they shouldn't be heard could possibly get them
in trouble"

I have never had that happen to me, quite that way. I did go to the old
KISN transmitter site once trying to get a QSL, but the armed guards ran
us off. Later on, I did get a QSL from the old CE. I have been turned
down for reasons the station doesn't have the time, but in cases like
that, i have been able to coax a ppc or an e mail QSL. There is always a
way. In this case, the CT station, I would just wait until the station
changes GM's and then try again. In time that QSL can be gotten. If
there is a will, there is a way. KDAC Ft. Bragg, CA;  the old owner for
many years did not like DXers and he made no bones about it saying so
and hanging up on them. I am going back 20-45 years ago. If you called
the station for a QSL, he would say no and hang up. The same was true
for the 900 West Covina, CA  station. However in both cases, the old
owners sold the stations and they both immediately became QSL friendly.
I got QSLs from both. I even stopped in to KDAC and Bob did an article
for RW back in the 90s. The CE typed me out a great QSL on letterhead.
Then when I returned home there was a second one from the new owner.
Since I do tape about everything I hear, that tape will last for years.
I can sit on a report for as long as it takes to get that QSL.

[IRCA] AFN Germant, 873Khz Hessen Knocked Off The Air

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Blast knocks AFN Germany off the air on 873 kHz April 3rd, 2008 - 8:35 UTC
by Andy 

[image: AFN Europe logo]Armed Forces Network officials cannot definitively
say when its AM radio station [873 kHz] will be back on the air in the
German state of Hessen after an explosion at a transmitter site interrupted
programming on Tuesday. Three Germans were injured Tuesday around 12:30 p.m.
in an accident during a routine generator check at the Weiskirchen
transmitter site.

"Everyone's doing OK," AFN-Europe public affairs officer George Smith said,
adding that the two Department of Public Works employees and an AFN-Hessen
technician were taken to the hospital as a precaution. The three were
treated for minor shock, smoke inhalation and minor burns. They have all
been released and are doing fine, Smith said.

As for the AM radio programming, Mark Vagnerini, AFN-Europe's executive
officer, could only say that AFN hopes to have the signal up and running
sometime next week. "Somehow there was a minor explosion and small fire in
the power distribution panels," Vagnerini said. "The fire was extinguished
and emergency services came … but we cannot go in there to repair it until
the investigation is complete."

"The AM outage affects some 90,000 American military community members,
mainly in and around Wiesbaden", Smith said. AFN's AM 873 frequency carries
"Morning Newswatch," National Public Radio programming and the "Connections"
music program, according to a Wednesday AFN news release.

"Until service is restored, listeners can tune in AFN's Eagle Radio service,
a mix of contemporary music and top of the hour news on FM 98.7," the
release read.

Smith added that for listeners who also watch AFN television via a decoder
box, the AM programming can be listened to through their TV. Other AFN AM
frequencies throughout Germany are listed online at www.afneurope.net.
Listeners might be able to pick up the broadcast at 1107 AM from
Kaiserslautern or 1143 AM from Mannheim.

[IRCA] WATO-AM 1290 Oak Ridge, TN Back On The Air

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

After falling silent when their tower fell and went un-noticed for 2 days,
it appears WATO 1290 is vback on the air.

Oak ridge is West of Knoxville, TN. The station is currently LICENSED for
5KW Day/2 towers, 500W Night/3 towers. My friend was driving through the
area and noted them back on, but had no idea what their power level was.

[IRCA] Denied a QSL

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

This didn't happen recently, but while on the phone with Powell, the story
came to mind...

Back when I was living on my own, after high school, in Connecticut.. I was
tuning the AM dials and heard a station with very clear call letters, promos
and etc that very clearly identified the station. They were obviously
operating on day power/pattern.

I called up the station to inquire about how I could get one. I was told by
the then GM (I think it was the GM) that I would NOT get a QSL because
proving I heard them where they shouldn't be heard could possibly get them
in trouble"

[IRCA] WBAF-AM 1090 Barnesville, Georgia

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

A friend of mine was driving through the area today around 4:30pm and was
only about 2 or 3 miles from the WBAF 1090 transmitter site on Forsyth
Street/Route 41... but didn't hear a darn thing.

The station has a wikipedia entry and radio-locator entry which don't
indicate they are off the air.. nor do theyappear on the FCC's silent list
and no Special Temporary Authority has beenfiled for them to remain silent.

Does anyone know their history,story or why they might be silent?

Re: [IRCA] Short check of the AM Band

[timhall1]

Unfortunately the Mexican data is really bad (lots of stations on the wrong 
frequency) and could lead to bad allocation decisions.  On the plus side, it 
does allow us to spot which DXers are list-logging.  More than one DXer has 
made the embarrassing mistake of logging a fictitious station like XENVA2 which 
only exists in these highly inaccurate government databases.  

The FCC should contract the whole thing out to Fred Cantu if they want to get 
it right - probably save some money too ;)

That's correct. Because the foreign entries in the CDBS database are 
there specifically for international coordination by US licensees, they 
pretty much have to be updated only by those governments.

The data does get updated occasionally - for the longest time, the entry 
for CKOC 1150 Hamilton in the FCC data was under "CKMO," for the 
short-lived callsign the station had been using the last time its record 
was updated, in 1992. At some point in the last year or two, the correct 
calls started showing again. My guess is that someone got confused about 
the 1150 Hamilton record and the record for the current holder of the 
CKMO calls, 900 in Victoria, and a call was made from Washington to 
Ottawa to straighten things out.

Until two months ago, I would have agreed with you.  Since then, I started

Yup - as more and more Canadian AMs go dark, the information in the 
FCC's CDBS database bears less and less relation to reality. (This is 
equally true of sources like radio-locator that draw all their data 
directly from the FCC.)


My favorite sources for good Canadian AM information are Barry 
McLarnon's excellent AMBC (http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/) and the NRC AM 
Log. 10watts.com is useful only for stations close to the border and 
in big cities; it doesn't even try to be comprehensive for all of Canada.

The FCC doesn't care what callsigns are shown for Canadian stations in 
its database. The only reason they (and Mexican and Caribbean stations) 
are even in there is to provide the information that US stations need in 
order to provide the protection to Canada that international treaties 
require. That requires updated engineering data; the callsigns are just 
there for convenience, and very little effort is put into keeping them 
updated. (The source of record for Canadian calls and operating status 
is Industry Canada's BASERAD database, which is a bear to work with.)


Because of the way those treaties are written, Canada gets protection 
for its AM stations even after those stations go silent - and that means 
 engineering records for those stations have to be maintained in the 
FCC's CDBS database, complete with the last known callsigns. So CKOM 
appears in the database on both 1250 and 650 - and will continue to do 
so as long as the current rules remain in effect.

Re: [IRCA] Country music on 1120

[HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS]

Other than KMOX, I have struck out on 1120 as far as Us/Cdn stations go.
I did hear the SSB one morning on my car radio, under KMOX about 2 years
ago but I think that it was after local (Indianapolis) SRS, so it must
have been South or West of me.  Never did ID that bugger.  I think Oil
City is my best bet for #2 on 1120 but it is on a total opposite beam of
St. Louis meaning standard nulling would kill both station's signals.

Good luck, Joe.

I was thinking along those lines. I tried again last night, and KMOX was

I'll try again tonight, and Friday, and ...

I heard some country music on 1120 last night (shortly after turning off my 
computer for the night).  The bearing on my loop antenna was towards the 
southeast so either the Pennsylvania or North Carolina stations are both 
possibilities. I stress the word possibilities because the 2006 NRC 
directory shows both as daytimers, but nothing else even seems to come 
close.  Was able to somewhat null KMOX, but not completely, making this 
logging extra difficult to hear.

Anyone else hearing this???

Thanks again for all your help and ideas.

[IRCA] DX Alert - 1070 CBA DX Test this Monday morning

[Saul Chernos]

From my contact at CBA:


CBA 1070 in Moncton has confirmed they will air a DX test Monday morning, 
April 7 at 01:00 am ***Atlantic*** time.


I'm now trying to determine the duration of the test - I'd expect just a 
couple of minutes, for a very tight window of opportunity - and how QSLs and 
eQSLs will be handled.


Please feel free to spread this far and wide. I'd like our friends overseas 
to know and I'm not on any of those lists!


BTW, I know it's taken a long time for the CFFX QSLs. And I really 
appreciate the patience we've encounterted from fellow DXers. We're getting 
these finalized; they will be issued shortly. We have NOT forgotten!

[IRCA] Ultralightdx Yahoo Group Site

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
 For IRCA list subscribers with even a casual  interest in Ultralight 
radios (whether for DXing,  modifications or  both),  we hope you will consider 
joining the new Yahoo Group site,  "Ultralightdx."
 
 Organized by John Bryant in his typical superb  method, the site not 
only welcomes reports of Ultralight DX loggings from any  place in the world, 
but 
already has a gallery of Ultralight modification  photos (including John's 
excellent "National SRF-39" project, and  a separate album of a monstrous 14.5" 
antenna transplant project by  another notorious fanatic), but will shortly 
have a library of mp3 audio clips  of transoceanic DX, a "Rogue's Gallery" 
photo 
section, etc.
 
 Designed to augment the Ultralight DXers' presence  on the IRCA list and 
dxer.ca, this valuable resource should be fully  investigated by all with 
even a passing interest in pocket radio DX.  We  welcome all to join, as we 
collectively explore this fascinating new niche in  the AM-DX hobby!
 
  
   73,  Gary DeBock

Re: [IRCA] TP's for 04-03-08

[D1028Gary]

Hi Dennis and Others,
 
 I was also listening this morning, from about  1255-1335.  In general it 
was a pretty modest morning, with the powerhouse  stations generally down, 
like Dennis said.  But it was the first real  chance to test out the new 14.5" 
loopstick-possessing SRF-39FP  ultralight in actual TP DX, so it was an 
exciting morning here.
 
 Producing strong heterodynes where the ICF-2010  had weak carriers, the 
modified Prison Radio was much quicker to produce  audio from an 
under-modulated HLCA-972, around 1328.  The same thing  happened with the 
JOAK-594 and 
JOIB-747 signals, so that the modified SRF-39FP  was basically acting like a 
"spotting receiver" for the ICF-2010, at least on  the QRM-free frequencies.  
It 
was a blast to experience this bizarre  reversal of roles, after having used 
the 
ICF-2010 as a "spotting receiver" for  the stock ultralights.
 
 Every ultralight DXer should have this much  fun!
 
  
 73,  Gary

HI Gary,

This morning conditions were much better.  Though the 
Japanese powerhouse stations signals were down, some 
of the smaller stations were in and splatter was down
on upper channel stations.  HLAZ 1566 peaked to good 
for a few minutes, slipped back to fair.  Audio seemed to
match carrier better this morning.  With the weaker power
house signals I did not turn on the SRF-39 fp.

WKQW has been the usual suspect on 1120 with C&W here and in WI and 
sometimes "forgetting" to s/off during the last couple of year. Concord MA 
is possible, and when they are in, WPRX in CT is usually in as well, but 
WKQW has been on lots at night the past couple of years.

I didn't consider this possibility. Although my loop antenna was pointing 
southeast - suggesting Pennsylvania or North Carolina - maybe that was to 
get the null on KMOX - and Massachusetts sneaked in instead.

Whatever it was, it will be by third station on 1120.

nd K levels.  Around 1300 on both days, even the  JA powerhouses were anemic, 
and showed no signs of improvement at 1315.  It  seems that the A and K levels 
have little relation to actual TP-DX, since  the best day last week had 
rather high levels of both.  Strange.
 
 73,  
Gary
