[IRCA] TP for 30 Aug from Victoria, BC
Listened from 1245 to 1305UT, and things still pretty much exclusively Asian, except that there was a definite Aussie fading up over JOAK on 594, the only one noted today. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): none reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): HLAZ-1566 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 594 3WV, definite DU talk fading up and over JOAK about 1256UT 774 JOUB Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : 153 R. Rossii (153, 180, 189, 234 and 279 had all been weakly audible at 1100UT) 279 mx R. Rossii 594 was JOAK by direction and inflection 747 JOIB at 1302 828 JOBB //774 972 big carrier, man talking, likely HLCA 1287 JOHR? Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 567, 1053, 1134, 1251, all Asiatic 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

I don't know all the specifics, but I'm told they use multiple step-down powers. I'm guessing it is automatic but sometimes fails to step down as low as 11 watts. They have to reduce power more than once during PSSA. Seems we are never told such license details exist & wonder how many other stations do this? (2 or more PSSA powers). I don't know how to estimate precisely how many watts they are using but when they go to 11 watts I get a little KRLD QRM. Todd in Woodbury (E of St. Paul) probably can't hear them when using 11 watts. On the night of Twins BB was more than 11 watts, but don't think having the Twins on was why? They did stay at the higher power after the Twins game ended, but was definitely not 1 KW that night. When they did a DX test decades ago, the 4.2(?) watt PSA was heard in PA & when they went to 1 KW heard in New England with WTIC on the air. Once I heard KYMN on SSS 1 Kw when I was in Toledo, OH.

Re: [IRCA] TP for 30 Aug from Victoria, BC
I actually wrested myself from my pillow for a listen this morning as well, from 1230-1305. I had brief periods of decent Asian audio on 747, 972, the off-freq CC on 1206, and 1566. 594 has some nice hets but never materialized - the same with 693/774/1575. 1116, presumed DU, also had a chance early on but fizzled out. 73 - Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA > Listened from 1245 to 1305UT, and things still pretty much exclusively > Asian, except that there was a definite Aussie fading up over JOAK on 594, > the only one noted today. > > pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at > least > briefly): > > none > > > reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable > by a > native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): > > HLAZ-1566 > > > not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise > could be > understood by a native speaker > > 594 3WV, definite DU talk fading up and over JOAK about 1256UT > 774 JOUB > > > > Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at > by > cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) : > > 153 R.

Re: [IRCA] 1080 KYMN
When I Managed/Programmed WABV in 2006, 2007 and 2008 I had 1000 Watts Day, 27 Watst night and my PSSA was anywqhere between 4W and 16 Watts... but I never used it or my night pwoer .. I just signed off at sunset. As to why PSSA is lower, maybe it has something to do with skip..I dunno.. paging Mr Fybush?

Re: [IRCA] 1080 KYMN
As far as I know, there is a little stipulation or was before PSSA/PSRA calculations were rescinded because of faulty figuring, material from the FCC stated that if PSSA was lower then night power, just use your night power..

Again, Mark or Scott may correct me, but this could be a case where the PSSA was granted BEFORE they had night power, and the night power was granted without consideration for voiding the PSSA.

Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] 1080 after midnight
After the barbeque evening - thanks, Jim and Robin! - I managed KYMN with twins baseball (including an ID and reference to the Twins network,. so it's them for sure), oldies that would likely be WOAP, Black Gospel music that could be Coral Gables FL or Virginia (David Braun reported WKBY VA, a daytimer, signing on at . I also had a Spanish station or two in there, and a talker that may have been KY. I checked 1710 during a bandscan and wasn't even thinking of WNRC. But I did have nice clear samples of the Spanish NYC-area and Massachussetts Haitian pirates. Cuba and one or two others on 690. didn't stay there long, opted for sleep. This using a modified loopsticked Tecsun 380, which is now my defacto travel AM radio, quite aside from the armchair and bedside radio it'll be at Burnt River ON this fall. Ivanka and I had a lovely time and some wonderful conversations at the BBQ Friday before going our own way to continue on an unfortunately brief holiday. I'm really glad we were able to swing down to Rochester and make WTFDA-NRC part of our trip. Nice to see old friends, meet others with whom I've only corresponded by e-mail, read loggings in bulletins or never previously encountered at all. Thank you to all who made it happen.

[IRCA] I finally logged KKIM 1000 from NM tonight !
After what has been hundreds of tries over more than a dozen years I finally caught KKIM 1000 just prior to their switch to night power tonight at 2059 CDT ending rlg mx and with a FM 94.7 and New Mexico ment. The Phased BOG System using my two longer BOGs at 273 deg (600 ft // 930 ft) was getting quite a nice phase null on local WMVP. KOMO 1000 was arm chair copy on peaks from about 2215-2229 CDT switch time.
