[IRCA] Hawaiian report for Sunday Nov 28, 2010
Finally got around to leaving the lanai and heading down to the beach to escape the noise, although our complex is relatively quiet here in Kauai, Hawaii. We're spending 10 days in Poi'pu at the Outrigger Plantation complex on the south shore of the island. My first time to Kauai, and it truly is a gem (previously I've DX'd from Maui on many occasions and from Honolulu as well). Conditions don't seem to be all that great, but there were a few surprises. Tonight I listened between 06:00 to 07:15 UTC. Nothing at all from Alaska (which I've heard well on other visits in the past), nor Japan. Pacific Islands propagate fairly, with RFO Tahiti quite good on 738. I didn't hear 1017 Tonga tonight, but it's been present on other evenings at fair level. 1098 continues with a weak modulation. A couple of nights again 1386 Radio Tarana from New Zealand was coming in very well, but not so so far tonight. Here's a quick list of what was heard sitting on the beach with my WRTH in hand, a headlamp, and my highly modified eton e100 ultralight with the longer ferrite rod (tuneable), and a good pair of noise-canceling headphones: 530 Most likely Radio Encyclopedia at poor/fair level with non-stop music and no TOH ID at 07:00. 540 CBK, Watrous SK with CBC ID at 06:58 at fair/good level. 580: Presumably KMJ, Fresno CA at good level IDing as the Bulldogs sports Network brought to you by Wendy's, etc. Mentions of California. 07:02. 600: KOGO, San Diego with ID at 06:10 and weather forecast. Travel advisory due to snow warnings, then into Coast to Coast. Good reception. 640: Coast to coast presumably KFI at 06:12, with het from 639, likely Fiji. 670: prob. KBOI, Boise ID with CBC news at 07:05 and Home Depot ad. Good reception. 780: Presumed KKOH, Reno NV with Coast to Coast at fair/good level at 06:19 880: Seems that KHCM, Honolulu is off the air. There's an open carrier there with blips every two to three seconds. Heard the same for the past several nights. Weak cochannel, probably KIXI, Seattle at same time (c 06:25). 950: Radio Reloj, Havana. My surprise for the evening with SS talk, with the time pips in the background. ID at 06:30 with TC at poor/fair level. 1020 KTNQ, with SS talk at strong level 1060: CKMX Calgary, AB. Nice ID at 07:09 as Your Classic Country, AM 1060. Fair/good. Regularly heard each night monitored. 1070: KNX, Los Angeles with snowfall warning at higher elevations. Mentions of Orange County, etc. Fair /good level at 06:40. 1090: ?KPTK Seattle with talk program at fair level. Het from 1089 noted. 1098: Low modulation, as always talk at 06:43, but too low to make anything out, despite a decent signal. 1100: KFAX, San Francisco with religious talk at good level. 1150: Fair reception with sports, possibly KTLK, Los Angeles, with cochannel SS ?KLPM, Portland? 1410: CFUN, Vancouver with ESPN Radio and The Fan IDs at 06:55 at good level. Overall, a fun night, but without very outstanding reception. ___ 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] Hispanic station on 1665kHz
So, to start this off, I constructed a tree-antenna in my back yard. See: http://w5jgv.com/tree_antenna/index.htm Mine is not nearly so neat. It resonates quite well in the AM band. My target band (NDB's) not so well. The antenna is very high-Q and appears to be an excellent performer. The tree is about 90' tall. I'm using a little homebrew preamp across the capacitor (MPF102 and 2N3904). I hear an AM station centered on 1665kHz playing Hispanic music. Is this a pirate? I don't see any listings in the FCC database.

Re: [IRCA] Hispanic station on 1665kHz
Obviously, it's a pirate.. or someone horribly off frequency. 1665 is not an FCC licensed or approved frequency.

Walt, Sounds similar to what I heard when my wife, son and I were in Poi'pu a few years ago. I won't say it was a long time ago, but as I recall, Canton Is. was still on 1386. I think I spent more time beacon-chasing on LW than I did on MW. As long as you are there, be sure to drop in to Lappert's and have some macadamia nut ice cream on me (figuratively speaking).

[IRCA] Tecsun PL-606 DSP Receiver Review
Hello All, For those interested in the latest technological advances in AM-DXing portables, a full 6-page review of the newest Ultralight radio sensation (the compact PL-606 AM-FM-SW-LW receiver) has been uploaded to DXer.Ca (at _http://www.dxer.ca/file-area/cat_view/87-ultra-light-radio-files-area/94-ultralight -radios_ (http://www.dxer.ca/file-area/cat_view/87-ultra-light-radio-files-area/94-ultralight-radios) , the first option), to the Ultralightdx Yahoo group file site, and also to _http://www.mediafire.com/?gcu6zgyxb724cy2_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?gcu6zgyxb724cy2) . Detailing Tecsun's successful effort to combine the class-leading 100 mm loopstick (of the PL-310 model) with 1 kHz DSP selectivity in a very small cabinet, the article includes many photos, information on PL-606 quirks and advantages, and the results of a four-band competitive performance test against the PL-380 and PL-310 models. At $39.95 (plus $20.00 shipping from Hong Kong), this breakthrough Ultralight model may well be the best combination yet of AM sensitivity, selectivity and portability. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ___ 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] Very good cx to NW again from IL
Still using the NW Phased BOG System and tomorrow will finish my Split Delta Flag in the same direction to compare. I expect a more broadbanded back null from the SDF, but that beamwidths from the PBS are clearly less than the 100 degrees calculated for the SDF. Anyhow, NW cx seemed to improve last night, but tonight is better and with the star of the show being CFYM 1210 with Oldies and calls and Classic Hits 1210 slogans sometimes atop KHAT (still running outta spec at night methinks) with WPHT phased out. Tonight CFYM is about 60 seconds ahead of //mx 1330 CJYM. When cx were even better (a bit stronger to MB/SK and less close skip QRM) 8 days ago, CFYM mx was 30 sec behind ! Anyhow...all the usual MB/SK stuff strong, especially SK on 1190 which I noted in at 1640 local when I hooked up antennas. 1220 from MB is also often blasting loud. Team 1040 BC is sometimes = to WHO !! Anyone needing OR and not have a local on 1130 should try tomorrow and Tues via sunset skip from about 1830 to 1845 switch time PST. No wonder they complain at News 1130 which incidently was noted in the mix at the extremely early time of 1730 CST. 1130 La Mexicana makes OR easy here. OR also presumed via SSS on 1080 and 1190 and also rlg on 700 after Spokane sports stn switched presumed KGRV (very rare and couldn't keep it good enough to hold it for any sort of ID chance). A bit later on Chinese briefly atop 1320 presume BC, also rare. Team Sports Network ment on 1410 under my local should be BC (not so rare) BC presumed u/phased WLS sounded rlg as noted before on Sunday eves. W-1440 slogan on 1440 is AB, 2nd time ID'ed mixed with WROK (weak nights here) and ND and traces of MN's Disney. W-1440 was playing rather rare (at least to my ears) oldies. AB on 1140 faded in at 1715 atop WY's Real Country with WRVA phased. Over to 1060 and at 1717 CST and Classic Country 1060 from Calgary was mixed with KYW phase null. Again early SSS fade in times, but spending much time on channels where I need things from similar regions was fruitless. Oh well if you don't try you don't get. Re: Albertans that I hoped for and before that move to FM. 1310 has strong WIBA to contend with and on 1370 ND was pounding in with rlg organ mx. On 1020 I can phased KDKA, but KJJK Family Friendly Radio is not DXer friendly since they run day power EVERY night. Oh well a couple more from AB would be nice but 1020 would be a long shot even with KJJK behaving. None of these were new for me .. oh well .. 73 KAZ Barrington IL ___ 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] not TP for 28 Nov from Victoria, BC.
Another ouch this morning. Dennis did the right thing by listening earlier I think. Again, 828 was oddly the most consistent, with reasonably readable audio after 1500, no s/off at 1520, but gone by 1550UT, though with a strong carrier still . Closer to 1500 UT, 594 and 774 had snippets of audio, closer to 1550UT, 1566 and 1242 had bits of audio. A strange and unsatisfying morning. best wishes, Nick ___ 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] [ABDX] KOMO-1000
Easy enough here in Barrington IL sometimes o/WMVP phase null but with big fades. CX were considerably better earlier towards the NW. If those cx return, KOMO should be easy to hear further east thru WMVP. To those needing KOMO, they ID lots during news and breaks and the last time I checked they stream online. 73 KAZ -Original Message- From: Barry McLarnon b...@bdmcomm.ca Sent: Nov 28, 2010 10:17 PM To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Cc: a...@yahoogroups.com Subject: [ABDX] KOMO-1000 For those of you who aren't on the dxtip list, Wayne Heinen posted that KOMO appears to be on day pattern (non-DA) tonight, possibly until 0300 EST. KOMO is quite audible here at the moment, but it's tough to get much intelligible audio due to dominant WMVP and quite a bit of IBOC crud (probably from WINS).

Not surprising. We had a little snow storm here earlier this past week (got down to 16F) and KOMO didn't kick in to day pattern until 8:15am local.
