[IRCA] First DJ in 1909
I am watching an old episode on I've Got a Secret from 1965, on Game Show Network, Mr. Newbe was the first DJ on the air, was the guest. His was 16 and the World's first disc jockey. I wonder if this was the old KPO San Jose, as I remember seeing an old SRDS book listing KCBS 740 SF, as first coming on in 1909 in San Jose.

Re: [IRCA] First DJ in 1909
You are thinking of KQW in San Jose - which later became KCBS. KPO became KNBR on 680. --- There is a plack at the old transmitter site of KQW, now used by the 1170 AM in San Jose. But before KQW became KCBS on 740 -- KQW was on 1010 Khz. KTRB in Modesto was assigned 740. In the 1941 frequency sfift -- KQW was moved to 740 and KTRB was moved to 860. --- After 60 years -- KTRB moved the 860 to San Francisco and increasd power to 50 KW and moved 840 into the Modesto area. KQW used spark gap modulation. ___ 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] TPs for May 22
Got my large DU EWE back up yesterday, tho' it is not yet tuned. Listened this morning from 1215-1240. Only one in decent audio: 1701 was doing about as well as I've ever heard it with Middle Eastern music. Actual frequency was 1701.077 or so... about half way to correct from what they were last year. Only really listenable in USB. I tried for this with my ultralight, but there was really no hope I couldn't hear it on the Winradio 313e in AM, so...

Re: [IRCA] First DJ in 1909
Mike, That is right, it was KQW. The guy showed pictures of the studio and he was front of the mic (at 16) and all of the antique equip. It looked really weird. He said the audio quality was bad. They played records instead of news talk, as the record quality was better and easier to do. But using spark gap modulation, it must hae sounded pretty bad. However, who had a radio to listen to the station then? I wonder what the power of the station was? As I typed the e mail, I was watching the episode of I've Got A Secret. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL 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] First DJ in 1909
Admittedly, I am not 100% sure when the platter type records were first used (although I have one that I believe was my greatgrandfather's and is dated 1912). Of course before that time, records were cylinders. The turntables were victrola record players, so the microphone must have been placed quite close to the horn in order to pick up the music for broadcasts. Hmmm, this is the kind of videos that should show up on You Tube...

WGEN Geneseo, IL on 1500Khz is 250 Watts Day and 1 Watt at night 1 watt for WGAB actually sufficently covers their COL and ALMOST does the job for WGEN! Some stations, espoecially those with solid state transmitters DO drop to their night pwoer, as it's less stress and work for the transmitter to drop to 5 watts then turn it off and on every day for years.

[IRCA] Not DX but a great program to tune into, Saturday night on WFNI
Not necessarily DX but my local WFNI 1070 (ex WIBC) has a unique overnight program that airs Saturday night May 24th and runs until 6 AM Sunday the 25th. They replay three past Indy 500's on the night before the Indy 500, in their entirety. So while you're looking for DX on AM, try to grab a listen. Co-worker Mike Serowik hosts the event. He said that 1995 and last years race will be rebroadcast and I think that he said the 1988 500 will be re-ran also, as that is in honor of the late Lou Palmer. --- All Night Race Party with Mike Serowik - Join 1070 The Fan for play-by-play coverage of three historic Indy 500 races , plus a myriad of interviews with current and past drivers --- With WFNI's directional antenna and night power of 10Kw, most of the SE US should be able to hear this. I've listened to this show before I knew Mike and it's VERY cool to hear the names and races from the past. Mike has a nice collection. I wish MRN would do this for NASCAR races. 73 Dave in Indy ___ 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

1906? According to I've Got A secret, that guy at KQW was the first. Alan Roycroft (Hawaii) told me once, a lot of people in the past that got credit for discoveries, were not the first. Edison was an example. The phnograph was invented earlier for some European.

Re: [IRCA] First DJ in 1909
I have about 2,000 78's in my collection. I have about twenty of the old thick Edison records (flat but thick) that were made 1900-1920. They can be played by a stereo styllis as the sound is on the sides of the groove. I also have an old 1903 one sided Victor (I think) of a conversation of two Irish Washerwomen. Flat records (hard rubber) were made from the 1890s along with the cylindar records. I have only one cylindar record which I cannot play as I don't have a cylindar phonograph. But even at over 100 years old, the records are still in good shape.

Re: [IRCA] First DJ in 1909
That occurred to me, Patrick. R. Fessenden may have been the first to do so in 1906, whereas the KQW broadcaster was the first to do regularly from a commercial radio station. Thx for sharing, someday (as in when I'm retired and have the time for it), I just may write a history of the very early broadcasters. 73 - Joe On Thu, 22 May 2008 19:00:07 -0700, Patrick Martin wrote 1906?
