[IRCA] WHYL-960 DX Test
A bit of a long shot here in Seattle... but I did try for the DX test... only two sports stations, CFAC and AM 960 Sports. Thanks for the test it is good to see DX tests that are heard!!!

[IRCA] WHYL-960 DX Test
I monitored 960, but didn't hear the WHYL DX Test. IBOC QRM from local KRWZ-950 is tough enough to get by, but then there's CFAC which is a powerhouse pest. If CFAC were off (or not using non-directional pattern) WHYL would have stood a chance. The other stations heard here tonight on 960 were KMA and KFLN. No sign of RR Cuba. Thanks to Bruce Collier for the test!

Re: [IRCA] WHYL-960 DX Test not heard in BC
Sorry you did not hear the test. Down here in Tennessee, which is much closer, I had them booming in at S9+20db for the first 30 minutes or so, then it went down hill after that. By 0200 I could'n hear the station at all. By 0130 there was lots of QRM from WERC in Birmingham, AL.

Re: [IRCA] Reminder - Ireland DX test tonight
For those recording on Perseus and suchlike I measure the carrier of R North at pretty much 846.000 with the morse tone at around 846.547 (listening to the morse recording 0500:20 to 0500:50 UTC). ...now for WHYL which will be tougher since I've moved the antenna round towards the SW for LA. Paul Barry McLarnon wrote: I have one lonely carrier on 845.998 at 0215 UTC, producing a barely audible het on peaks, but it's a long way from producing any demodulated audio. Conditions are decent, with some of the big gun TAs producing audio here, but they would have to be stellar to hear that little peanut whistle. The guys on the coast could have a shot, though.

I think the issue here was mainly the elevated AK, as I caught ONT on 960 last year. But even KSTP 1500 was poor tonight.

Re: [IRCA] [ultralightdx] ULTRALIGHT DX.....1090 SPANISH UNID...Revisited???
Hey, Rob, This might be your solution. I spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to buff up overnight recordings to ID this puppy. If what you were hearing was news and commentary, this is almost certainly it. http://www.cincoradio.com.mx/emisoras.asp?emi=XEHR My best times were from 0800 through 1000 UTC and I can't say that I noticed jingles could be that they don't run those very late at night or I missed them. At about xx:05 they run a segment called Eches(?) Presenta that is short items with a couple of CW dits somewhat between items. Cinco radio is a 5-station network centered at Tampico, south of the southern tip of Texas. Now will you approve me an 80 Latins Heard for only 79??? John B.

[IRCA] WHYL-960 DX Test barely heard in Memphis, TN
Dominant on 960 kHz was WABG in Greenwood, MS and WERC in Birmingham, AL. Also Radio Reloj in the mix. Skimming through the recording this morning, I have definite sweep tones starting at 01:01.15 EDT. I need to go through the recording later and see if I can hear any code. Surprised even this was even heard as WHYL's bearing from here is approx. 59°, so pretty much in the side null of my ALA100 Loop bearing 150°/330°. I had meant to reorient the loop during the day yesterday, but totally forgot. -- Brandon Jordan - Memphis, TN, USA bcdx@gmail.com - http://www.bcdx.org DXTests.Info web site: http://www.dxtests.info Editor: IRCA DX Worldwide-East Submit loggings via: dxww.e...@gmail.com ___ 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] WHYL-960 DX Test not heard in AB
The WHYL DX test wasn't heard here in southern Alberta either. Not a real surprise, as eastern conditions didn't seem that good. Interesting to note that others heard CFAC so well, as here, about 120 miles from them, they were generally being overpowered by the country music from KSRA in Salmon, ID. I'd thought it was the more common KFLN until I heard the ID. Also noted a Spanish station, most likely KOVO. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB ___ 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

Barry..I'm not really getting all cranked up over this...and I'm sure you're not either. With propagation being what it is...we both know that nothing is written in Stone as far as hearing anything goes. I realize they all use different Antenna Patterns which affects where the signal goes etc.The point I try to make when DXing with the ULR's is that they ARE very directional...as a matter of factI sometimes can't even believe how directional they are. Many times I am able to separate and differentiate between stations that are essentially in the Same Line of sight from me...just by moving the ULR the Tiniest little bit. Over the last year and a half.I have become very familiar with how these Crazy Little Things reactand have learned that for the most part...they really can give a pretty good idea of where the Station is located. As you stated...there are a hundred other things that may affect what we hear...but for the most part...If I hear something...and I'm not sure what it isI can come up with an Uneducated guess as to what direction it is coming from...not always right...but usually pretty close. With all that said..if we ever ID this thing..it'll probably end up being from the Exact OPPOSITE Direction I think it's coming fromjust because that's the way Murphy works!! AHHAHHHA I tried last night, but it was no go. IBOC jammers WTIC and WTAM were laying waste to 1090 from both sides, big time.

Thanks for trying to hear this station last night Barry..I appreciate you giving it a whirl...You hear alot of Good Stuff up your way...so if anyone will be able to pull this outyou'll be the guy!! I was actually referring to other Southwestern Ontario Canucks that prowl these Reflectors...Like Saul Chernos, Niel Wolfish and a few of the other ULR Guys that are located less than 100 miles from me. They are the ones I thought may have the same Listening Conditions I work under. Barry...you are far enough away from me that things may be a little different...like you pointed out with the IBOC from WTIC and WBAL even being stronger. Anyways.My guess is that this is a Station from the Southeastor maybe even the South of me here in London. I don't think it's in Mexico. Until someone is able to get an ID .we'll never know. Hopefully anyone reading this can give a listen whenever they can especially after midnight. Although this is a Mystery to me right nowit is most likely someone's Local or Semi-Local!!

I think my measurement accuracy is about 0.2 Hz or so. I suspect this was Radio North, but have no way of knowing for sure. I see from the mwoffsets list that they were at 846.002 about a year ago, so perhaps they drift around a bit.

[IRCA] TP for 15 Mar from Victoria, BC
Started listening too late this morning (1414UT) according to the propagation monitorby then the big sunrise fadeout had started. So, my comments on the relative poverty of signals need to take that into account...quite listening by 1430. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 747 JOIB...bit of a surprise, this usually takes up the tail of the three NHK2 powerhouses reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 594 JOAK 774 JOUB 828 JOBB...again a surprise, as didn't reach this level until 1424UT; it was inaudible to start with not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 1503 JOUK //594 at 1419UT Burbles in the splatter and noise: 567 JOIK //594 603 likely Korea 666 seemed //594 so JOBK 837 sounded //567, so JOQK 972 but of course a big carrier 1134 unID 1242 likely Japan? 1512 unID Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1098 DU, 1116 DU, 1575 best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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] 1948 RADIO NEWS magazines
Anyone on the list who likes reading and collecting old books and magazines dealing with radio and TV? I have the following for sale: RADIO NEWS magazines from 1948. I was given these by my uncle in 1957 and have read and reread them many times. It is time to let someone have fun with them. The magazines cover AMDXing, Short-Wave listening, TV and radio repair, ham radio, as well as many articles covering the complete hobby, all from a 'after-the-war' view. The months are as follows-- 1948: 01/02/03/04/06//07/08/09/10/11/12 1947: 09 I will throw in a copy of TV SERVICING @1951 BY RCA for free. Very technical magazine, more for the service repairmen level. Just $30.00 and that covers shipping. Total weight is about 10 lbs. Shipping them by book rate, and you can see I won't make any money on this sale. This offer good to the lower 48 states only. Will ship to ANYONE, but shipping out-side the continental U.S. will cost more. ___ 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] Tx site change applications into FCC
Technically, moving the transmitter site and increasing power really is a minor change. A station can now actually change it's COL and move 30khz either way and still be considered a minor change.
