Doug,

Chuck Boehnke at Keaau on the Big Island used to regularly get India on
1134. I have tried for that one here with no luck no far, yet 1566
Nagpur and 864 Shillong have been logged. Thanks to Chuck several years
back for IDing Oman on 1413 for me too. That Lava Rock does a number on
killing DX, if in the way.

Re: [IRCA] "Super ICF-2010" Full Construction Article Uploaded to DXer.CA

[satya]

Kudos to Gary for breaking into yet another realm of DXing, making the
venerable Sony ICF-2010 into a monster that even its mother wouldn't
recognize!  I look forward to his reports of TP (and TA!) signals the rest
us can only dream of.

What's next - supercharging the Quantum Loop??

[IRCA] "Super ICF-2010" Full Construction Article Uploaded to DXer.CA

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
 If you have ever wondered how the classic ICF-2010  would perform with a 
transplanted 19.5" loopstick, now is your chance to find  out.
 
 Designed as a super-sensitive SSB "spotting  receiver" to keep up with 
newly hot-rodded Ultralight radios (with 20"  loopsticks), this monster 
portable has already proven its effectiveness  at Grayland, Washington,  
producing 
audio on TP and DU stations  that the stock 2010 can only receive as weak 
carriers.
 
 Full construction details are provided to create  another 19.5" 
loopstick model, or an even longer loopstick, if  desired.  The article has 
many 
photos expertly added by John  Bryant, and includes the results of a daytime DX 
"Monster Portable  Shootout"  between the 19.5" loopstick ICF-2010, a 2010 plus 
Quantum Loop  combo, a stock 2010, and a 20.25" loopstick SRF-39FP.
 
  Located in the  dxer.ca "Ultralight File" section, the article's 
link is:
 
_http://www.dxer.ca/index2.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=128&Itemid=
77_ 
(http://www.dxer.ca/index2.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=128&Itemid=77)
 
 
 Designed for serious TP and TA DXers who would  like to organize their 
search for transoceanic Ultralight radio targets,  this "Monster 2010" is fully 
capable of exceptional stand-alone  DX performance, especially on isolated 
ocean beaches.  Hopefully,  various experimenters will create their own 
"Monster 
2010's" using the  inexpensive construction materials specified, and enjoy an 
exciting new  experience in portable DX excitement.
 
  73,  Gary DeBock

Re: [IRCA] Going to Hawaii and Oahu

[doug martin]

Hi.  I believe Dale Park is the only active dx-er.  I lived on Windward 
Oahu from 1978-1987 and found the dx varied greatly depending on where you 
were on the island.  From the windward side of Oahu, Alaska, Western 
Canada, and the U.S. mainland as far east as Chicago.  But other islands, 
e.g. tonga, samoa, fiji, were rare.  From the south shore, these islands 
were regulars, with no Alaskans present.
Probably my best catches were WBZ, KYW, Wcau, and WWWE-Cleveland.  I had 
other east coast stations, but just listed a few.  In the other direction, 
my best catches were from India on 1134 and Oman with a BBC relay on 1413 kHz.
My favorite was winning a call-in contest on KVOK, Kodiac Ak.  On the air, 
I told them I couldn't come to the station to get my prize, and asked if 
they would send it to me.  Only then, after winning the contest did I tell 
the announcer that I was in Hawaii.
My biggest disappointments were never getting WJR, WBAL, WWVA, WRVA, or 
WBT.  These states remained unlogged.

Aloha,
Doug Martin

Putting it mildly? Ok, I'll agree with that.

Why a loose leaf notebook? I'm actually thinking a 5 subject notebook and
just have one page for every day of DX wether I actually DX or not.

[IRCA] TP's for May 20

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Started listening at 1145, for only 20 minutes; quite different from yesterday, 
as what little was there seemed Asiatic


pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): none

reasonable audios (though often battling w/splash):  none

not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 1566 oriental 
sound to talk, so likely HLAZ.

Burbles in the splatter and noise:  none

Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter):  774, 
1053, 1575 (very erratic strength; Thailand at this time of year seems 
surprising to me, but it is greyline, so shouldn't be impossible)




best wishes,

Nick

No Paul, no clue about the real WXMY, I just made up those calls for my
fuzzy call exercise.  

I did look at the WXMY website and Wikipedia entry.  The station seems
to be back on the air.   Sounds like they play Classic Country and
Bluegrass - that makes 'em all right in my book.  Someone asked me once
what kind of music that I like and I said that I like both kinds,
Country AND western. :)

I just changed the Wiki entry but screwed it up in the process. Scribe
Video Center purchased the station for the very purpose of community
broadcasting... and they had more resources then "West Philadelphia
Educational Broadcasting Foundation" which originallyu owned it from it's

In this case, the Wiki entry is accurate for this station.  They have
been off the air for quite a while, and appear to have returned to the
air only recently.  Not that it matters, as no one can hear them, no

John,

If you go back to my oriuginal post, I mention that The Scribe Video
Centerpurchased the radio station from West Philadelphia Educational
Broadcasting Foundation back in September 2006 for $70,000.

I am assuming they are on the air, because of everything I've read.

When it comes to ownership information, I wouldn't trust
Wikipedia. I would trust FCCINFO.COM and FCC.GOV

I think I've heard WSPD like once before manyt months ago but didn't make

Paul you've indeed heard one of the Knoxville area stations.  I googled
it (like you must have done) and got the same result: Reams Drug Store
250 Middle Creek Rd, Sevierville, TN.  

I'd call the stations and ask if them if Reams sponsors their station or
broadcast OR call Reams and see if they know if they sponsor an AM
station.

73,
Dave in Indy, offering not much help but a confirmation of it being a
Knoxville area station.

Well, I'm in a little bit of a quandry here...

I logged a station that sounded like it was doing local sports play by
play.
At 8:33 PM I heard an ad for "Reams Drugstore" and gave a phone number
as
453-5160 and an address as 250 Middle Creek Road. Then a live announcer,
presumably a Play By Play guy came on and did another quick read for
Reams
Drugs "For Al lYour Pharmacy and Health Care needs".

The address and phone number are in Sevierville, Tennessee.

WKCE is a 1KW Daytimer, WVLZ is a 10KW Daytimer. WCRK is 500 Watts Non
Directional Day, 500 Watts from 3 towers at night.

WCRK is carrying music, per their webstream. WKCE and WVLZ which appear
to
simulcast are running ESPN Radio, per their stream.

None of these stations seem to match exactly what I heard on the radio,
but
are the 3 closest in distance and frequency wise to the area mentioned
in
the drugstore ad.

Any ideas anyone?

Re: [IRCA] UNID'd/Sound-a-like help needed

[HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS]

Paul - I plugged the mythical "WBTO" into Barry McLarnon's fuzzy search
page and looked at 1360-1440 and got two possiblities for you.  

1) WEGO 1410 Concord, NC.  The possible fly in the ointment here is that
they are an MRN (Motor Racing Network) station but they only carry one
tiny PRN program but not any PRN races, per PRN's list.

2) WDCO 1440 Cochran GA.  They ARE a sports station but do not hit
either MRN or PRN list but that doesn't mean anything.

Good luck and 73,

Ok, so I'm working with a Zenith Royal 705 radio and the dial is off a
little bit.

Now, I know this is going to be a STRETCH to ID and please no one make
any
stupid comments about how "If you want us to hlep, you need to give us
more
information. I'm giving as much information as I have in hopes someone
recognizes my catch.

I got a logging for a station somewhere between to the right (dial wise)
1350 and to the left (dial wise) of 1450.

I heard a local male announcer in a somewhat laidback tone/attitude talk
about upcoming sports broadcasts including what I believe to be a PRN
NASCAR
Race and a baseball game featuring the New York Mets and someone else.
He
then went into the weather forecast and made mention of how Wednesday
through Friday are going to be warm, sunny days.

The call letters SOUNDED ALOT like WBTO, but that's not it.

Any bright ideas or suggestions anyone?

[IRCA] Move of CBDS-690 Pukatawagan MB to FM approved by the CRTC

[Deane McIntyre]

The  Pukatawagan MB ( a 40 watt relay of CBWK-FM Thompson MB)
to FM (102.5, 200 watts) has been approved by the CRTC:



CBWK-FM – New transmitter at Pukatawagan
1.
The Commission approves the application by the Canadian Broadcasting  
Corporation
(CBC) to amend the broadcasting licence for the English-language  
radio programming
undertaking CBWK-FM Thompson, Manitoba in order to operate an FM  
transmitter at

Pukatawagan to replace its AM transmitter CBDS.
2.
The transmitter will operate at 102.5 MHz (channel 273A1) with an  
effective

radiated power of 200 watts.
3.
The CBC indicated that the FM transmitter is intended to replace its  
existing
AM transmitter CBDS and that recently, the Mathias Colomb Cree  
National Chief
and Council advised the CBC that the CBDS site is contaminated and  
they will
proceed to decontaminate it by June 2008. The CBC stated that the FM  
transmitter

needs to be operational by this date.
4.
The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with  
this application.

5.
The CBC further advised the Commission that there will be no  
simulcast period.
The licensee must then cease operation of its AM transmitter CBDS  
Pukatawagan.
Pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(2) of the Broadcasting Act (the  
Act), and
consistent with the CBC’s request, the Commission amends the licence  
of CBWK-FM

Thompson by deleting the AM transmitter CBDS Pukatawagan.

73,

Deane McIntyre VE6BPO

Hi Paul,

Nice catch on WSPD 1370 Toledo Ohio.  I hear them somewhat frequently from 
my home in Michigan, and they are indeed sports format, although I confess 
that I don't remember offhand whether they are ESPN, Fox, or Sporting News. 
But from your description, I am sure that you heard them.

Where in the world do you think I want to know who "Star 97.3" is? My post

As I said, I was pretty sure 1370 was WDEF!

Are you asking "Who is Star 97.3?"
It is.
1310 WDKD KINGSTREE SC 5000* 60 NDA SOFT AC //WSIM STAR 93.7
At night they have been covering my semi-local WDOD-1310. I do believe they 
are on day power, for what ever reason. Been a regular here each night for 
over a month and 60 watts isn't going to be that regular.


Your 1370 is, very sure, WDEF.  WDEF I have never heard a local ad on WDEF.

KIVY-1290 will leave the transmitter on all night, from time to time. They 
will cover up Hickory, NC.

Coming out of a commercial break, I heard a weather forecast by a male and
just at the end as the weather man mentioned the name of the station, it
faded out. I then heard a voiceguy make make some kind of mention about
"More of your favorite.(or continuous?)(unintelligeable)..on

[IRCA] AM 1370

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Around 3:33am, I just heard an ad for "The Tireman" buried in the mud and
then a mention of "NewsTalk 1370 WSPD" after the commercial, going into a
program.

I've also got a sports station that seems to be dominant on 1370Khz. It will
fade down in the mud but still be barely intelligable... and other times
it's about a 6 out of 10 signal wise. I heard several mentions of Colin
Cowheard and Espn radio. I'm presuming this to be Bahakel Communications
WDEF-AM 1370 Chattanooga, TN.

I have not actually heard an *LOCAL* ID from the ESPN Station, but WLOP
Jesup, GA's own website lists them as a FOx Sports Radio Affiliate and
wikipedia.org lists WDEF-AM as ESPN Radio.

WPSD is 5KW Day, Non Directional and 5 KW Nights, with a 3 tower
North/Southeastern Pattern. WDEF is 5KW Day Non Directional and 5KW with a 4
tower Southeast pattern.
