KUNX-1590 in Ventura is SS and has been for quite some time. KKZZ-1400 in 
Santa Paula is //KVTA-1520 with about a 5 second delay. I guess the 
simulcast is because KVTA drops to 1 KW at night and has a huge null to the 
east to protect Oklahoma City so they may not make it to Santa Paula.

Seems to me that I read where Ventura  Santa Paula have made another
format switch.  So suspect that spanish language music is back on 1590
from Ventura.

[IRCA] IBOCer on 1600?

2008-06-15 Thread Patrick Martin
Who is the new IBOCer on 1600. I am getting quite a hash on 1610 tonight
off the Eastern beverage. My guess would be Lakewood CO or SLC UT by the
signal. It really wipes out the TIS activity on 1610.  It is stronger on
the USB on 1610 than on the LSB.  Thanks

Patrick.

Has anyone ever heard the 50 watt station at Jans Bay in Northern Sask
on 1330?


No not me Pat. Just too much Rosetown. Seeing as you asked about Jans Bay, 
has anyone heard the Albertan on 1230 in Grande Cache, CFXG? That is a 50 
watt station that just does not get out. Five miles north or south of town 
and it's gone. It's one of 2 unheard Albertans for me, the other being 
CBXL-860. Some of those 40 watt LPRT's get out quite well. The one in High

Re: [IRCA] Jans Bay 1330

2008-06-15 Thread Patrick Martin
Mike,

I think Rosetown will be my issue too. I have not heard anything about
them moving to FM as yet either. Rosetown is not all that strong here,
but probably enough to block something like Jan's Bay. However 1330 has
nothing strong on it after Portland goes off at 0300 EDT, so Jan's Bay
may be possible. There are a lot of mountains between here and there
though and as you said, they may not get out well to begin with. Grande
Cashe 1340 is another, but being a GYer and nowdays with everyone 1 KW,
DX on those channels is not what it used to be. 
I am still trying to get an ID from CFYK-1340. With the improvements on
the NW EWE and phasing, I hope to nab them this coming Winter. 

73,

Patrick

Re: [IRCA] IRCA Digest, Vol 50, Issue 34

2008-06-15 Thread Dennis Gibson
We have a similar situation in Santa Barbara. Two local stations (KTMS-990 
and KBKO-1490) are simulcasting. Here is the only logical explanation I can 
think of. KTMS (5 KW daytime and 500 watts at night DA-2) has a deep null to 
the southeast to protect XECL and not overlap first adjacent KFWB (despite 
the fact that KFWB does not get out well). As a result it does not have much 
of a signal in Ventura County. Due to the extremely high cost of housing in 
Santa Barbara many people work here but live in Ventura County. KBKO, (1 KW 
non-directional fulltime on a graveyard frequency) despite having two other 
stations (KZSB-1290 and KIST-1340) diplexing on their tower, covers most of 
Ventura County quite well.

All DU unless noted otherwise.

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: none

[IRCA] Grayland DU's for 6-15

2008-06-15 Thread D1028Gary
Hello Guys,
 
 With the primary objective of testing out the new  30-inch loopstick 
ICF-2010 as an Ultralight spotting receiver,  it  was a very interesting 
early 
morning at Grayland.
 
 The modified 2010 certainly was a hot performer,  receiving audio on 7 
DU's and 1 TP, but only two of these had enough signal  strength to be received 
on a stock SRF-T615 Ultralight (Tahiti-738 and  JOUB-774).  The DU audios 
were fading in and out constantly, making it  tough to try for solid reception 
on 
the Ultralights with limited  selectivity.
 
 Heard with audio on the modified ICF-2010  were the following, with 
presumed ID's except as noted:
 
567-2YA weak with music at 1155;  parallel 756-1YA heard weakly later,  but 
not together
 
612-4QR fair with DU talk at 1235
 
657-2YC weak with music at 1215,  parallel 963 had only strong  het
 
738-Tahiti monster signal at 1236 (but little modulation);  audio  barely 
heard on stock SRF-T615
 
756-1YA weak with music at 1239;  567 parallel gone by then
 
774-JOUB moderate-strong at 1126 with language program;  heard at  fair level 
on stock SRF-T615
 
891-5AN presumed the one with fair DU talk program at 1208;   no sign of 
horse racing
 
1116-4BC fair with DU EE talk program at 1217
 
 Radio Marshalls (presumed) on 1098 had a booming  signal at 1242 with 
absolutely no modulation,  either by accident or  design.  It sounded pretty 
similar to a local with an open carrier.
 
 Thanks to John for his list of Aussie and NZ  parallels, and for the 
detailed information on his loggings two weeks ago. Many  of these showed up 
weakly at Grayland this morning, although the signal  strengths were nothing to 
shout about.  Thanks also to Steve, Nick and  Dennis for the daily DU reports, 
which give great help in sorting out  the possible targets.
 
 If anyone is interested in seeing what an ICF-2010  with a 30-inch 
loopstick looks like, there are a couple of photos in the  Ultralightdx Yahoo 
group 
site, in the album Loopstick Lunacy.  It looks  similar to a shotgun barrel 
with a laptop computer attached, and as Guy Atkins  has noted, would never 
make it past airport security, hi.
 
  
73,  Gary

Re: [IRCA] IBOCer on 1600?

2008-06-15 Thread D1028Gary
Hi Patrick,
 
 I was at Grayland last night, and also heard hash  on the 1610 kHz TIS 
frequency.  I thought it was just band noise, but  usually 1610 is one of the 
wide-open frequencies, with very low noise--  so  your report makes sense.
 
 On 1610 last night, while walking along the beach,  I heard both the 
Yakima, WA TIS and the Grays Harbor (WA) Coast  Guard weather station, along 
with 
the noise.  The Eastern Oregon weather  station, occasionally audible at home 
in Puyallup at night, was nowhere to be  heard.

You're right there Pat. I remember when the 50W graveyarder in Whitecourt on 
1400 was heard down in Arizona, I think it was. Still there's always some 
that get out far better than others do. These days one of my greatest 
graveyard pests is KONP-1450. Must be that saltwater path they have.



I am still trying to get an ID from CFYK-1340. With the improvements on
the NW EWE and phasing, I hope to nab them this coming Winter.
They are a regular winter visitor here. Usually late afternoons or early 
mornings. Best time for a positive ID is early morning as they have a lot of 
local programming at that time with the CBC news at TOH.

How in the world do KBKO, KZSB and KIST triplex and not cause serious
issues? 50Khz is way too close to be diplexing.

 We have a similar situation in Santa Barbara. Two local stations (KTMS-990
 and KBKO-1490) are simulcasting. Here is the only logical explanation I can
 think of. KTMS (5 KW daytime and 500 watts at night DA-2) has a deep null to
 the southeast to protect XECL and not overlap first adjacent KFWB (despite
 the fact that KFWB does not get out well). As a result it does not have much
 of a signal in Ventura County. Due to the extremely high cost of housing in
 Santa Barbara many people work here but live in Ventura County. KBKO, (1 KW
 non-directional fulltime on a graveyard frequency) despite having two other
 stations (KZSB-1290 and KIST-1340) diplexing on their tower, covers most of
 Ventura County quite well.

 KUNX-1590 in Ventura is SS and has been for quite some time. KKZZ-1400 in
 Santa Paula is //KVTA-1520 with about a 5 second delay. I guess the
 simulcast is because KVTA drops to 1 KW at night and has a huge null to
 the
 east to protect Oklahoma City so they may not make it to Santa Paula.

[IRCA] 1600 IBOC

2008-06-15 Thread Donald K. Kaskey
Pat, you are probably correct in assuming IBOC is coming from Denver or 
S.L.C.  I just checked 1590/1600/1610 and no IBOC hiss noted at all.  
Both Denver  S.L.C. are quite rare here these days.
