Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1590 Test Tones at it again at 02:07Z
That sounds about right, and the tone is quite audible here at 2206 CLT. Something I noticed about the time of Les' initial reception this evening - the tone started up right at about the time that they would've begun airing a talk program called the Phil Valentine Show. According to WZRX's website, this is a program that runs until Midnight CLT, and last night's tone went right up to Midnight sharp.

[IRCA] Request - Seattle, WA - midday TOH recording of KNTS
Hello, fellow MW DXers, I have a request for someone in/near Seattle, WA, if anyone is willing... Could someone record and upload a couple minutes or so around TOH of 1680 KNTS Seattle, WA, preferably around midday? I think I may be hearing them at noon near San Diego, CA, but the signal is very weak and I have yet to be able to make out their legal TOH ID. Having a recording so I know what to listen for next time I try for them would help, and be greatly appreciated. (I suspect it's KNTS, as KGED Fresno, CA, the closest station to me, is Asian language, and I'm hearing Spanish (KNTS is the next closest.)) Also/or, every weekday at around 12:05-12:06pm I hear what sounds like a music intro to a program, then a man talking in Spanish. A recording made around this time may also help me ID (or not) the station I'm hearing. BTW, I'm using a Tecsun PL-606 and Select-A-Tenna sitting on a chainlink fence near 32°45'40N 116°56'50W - about 12 miles east of San Diego, CA. 1680's weak signal is indicating 41/00 on the PL-606. 73 and TYVM, Stephen ___ 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] MW DX from Enid OK, February 20-25, 2011
All times and dates strictly UT. MW log editors are welcome to excerpt items, reformat and change to favorite timezone if necessary. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; some caradio as specified; above 2 MHz on FRG-7 with 110-foot east-west longwire. UNIDENTIFIED. Tnx to a tip from nearby Richard Allen, near Perry OK, that he was getting 774 Japan audio for the first time this year on Feb 21 at 1306-1311 UT, I resumed performing a 9 kHz trans-Pacific carrier bandscan Feb 23 at 1305-1307 in USB, 1307-1310 in LSB. This is with the DX-398 on 9-kHz steps, using only its internal antenna indoors; its BFO happens to be misaligned about 0.4 kHz low so if there is a carrier I hear a tone around that pitch. Seldom are any strong enough to provide audio with this setup. On USB I found carriers here: 693, 738, 774, 828, 972, 1116, 1125, 1134, 1242, 1278, 1323, 1404, 1413, 1422, 1566. Altho it was a bit later and signals may have faded somewhat, hardly any of these were heard on the way back down in LSB mode. I usually have better results with USB than LSB for some reason, altho certain frequencies ought to do better on LSB depending on which side of 10 kHz channels they are on. Today`s sunrise was 1310 UT, and it`s moving about one minute earlier every day. These signals indicate we are pulling out of the `mid-winter anomaly` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Tran-Pacific MW carrier bandscan just before sunrise Feb 25 at 1255, in USB mode on DX-398: 594, 648, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1566, not in that order. At 1302 detected 1593, 1566, 1134, 1053, 972 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1320, Kirk Allen in OK asked me to check out his unID Spanish as ``La Poderosa`` but never any real ID, which he has been getting as late as 1500 UT, so he thinx it`s likely a domestic rather than a Mexican such as XECPN in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, which sometimes uses that slogan. I`m not sure where that info comes from, as not shown as such in WRTH 2011 or IRCA 2010, but rather Radio Noticias, ergo a news format rather than music. Feb 25 I start checking at 1250 UT and 1320 has Spanish music dominating, and hard to null for a fix. At 1253 announcer mentions ``7 minutos``, a timecheck before some hour or other, not caught; heavy CCI. 1308 music and DJ, and now it seems to be coming from the bearing of Piedras Negras or vicinity. Chex at 1400 and later brought only Americans in English such as KOLT; see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1320, Feb 25 at 1400 UT, checking out the Spanish unID, but by this hour a US station in English is dominant, KOLT ID, and KOLT.com, into Fox News Radio, looping NW/SE, from Scottsbluff NE. 1403 cut to local weather, hi 19, lo 9 [F], the ``Hometown Family Radio News forecast``, 1404 mentions west Nebraska. KOLT used to be in Spanish on weekends only, and noted as such in NRC AM Log 2010-2011, but their website which is really http://www.koltam.com now says ESPN Radio on weekends, instead of farrightwingnuts weekdays, such as Glenn Beck calling George Soros a Communist at final check 1420. Also shows new(?) slogan I have not yet heard spoken, `The Talk of Wyobraska` --- I guess that`s sexier than `Neoming` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1530, Feb 25 at 1310 UT rock music, and DJ announces ``no school today at Northern Valley``, repeated. Name is a bit generic but let`s hope for some good Google hits. Yes: near the top of 39,300 of them is this: http://www.nvhuskies.org/ which is in the small town of Almena KS, Norton County, along the Nebraska border, and guess what, there is a 1 kW/500 W psra 1530 in Norton, KQNK, so that`s it! Strangely enough, the Northern Valley website has nothing about school being canceled; they should listen to KQNK like I do. Temps very low (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA. 2325, VL8T, Tennant Creek NT, Feb 23 at 1323, YL talking and intonation sounds Strine; much weaker signal on 2310 and can`t be sure it`s //, and no signal on 2485. I checked 2325 conveniently right after 3325 Indonesia, and found their frequencies matched, 1.000 MHz apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Greetings: WWRB lost the use of 3145 so we had to shift our programming: Brother Stair has 3185 all night long now. The other programming on WWRB such as WORLD OF RADIO had to shift to 5050 for the time being. 3215 is off the air for a week or two: Reason: We are making antenna insulator modifications to allow the use of 2390: During a 10 kW carrier test, we noted arcing at the insulators suspending the 190 foot high, 340 degree azimuth rhombic antenna we plan on using for this 'new' frequency. We also noted that the 2390 insulator arcing caused the integrity monitors of our aircraft LOCALIZER GLIDESLOPE facilities to alarm. We are making the changes and will do more Carrier Flight testing on 2390 kHz (Dave
Re: [IRCA] Request - Seattle, WA - midday TOH recording of KNTS
Thanks for the recording. Now I'm wishing I had also recorded at around 1pm local time, for a better comparison. Here's my 10-minute recording made from 11:57am to 12:07pm, in case someone wants to hear what the signal is like here. http://tinyurl.com/PL606-1680-201102251957 Picking out KNTS Seattle from my recording is going to be nearly impossible, though, considering its brevity in your recording. I don't know if I'll be home tomorrow midday, but if I am, I may try to record it again for a few minutes at 12pm and/or 1pm. I would appreciate a locally-generated recording at around that time, if possible. I registered for globaltuners.com, but I wasn't able to even connect to the Toledo, WA tuner (south of Centralia), and I'm not even sure if it would be able to pick up the signal considering it's outside the predicted fringe radio-locator contour. Of course, co-channel interference from KGED Fresno may make things difficult, although earlier today there was little if any competition from them. One more possibility remains, though, which I didn't check - it could be a spur from local Radio Nueva Vida outlet 1130 KSDO, whose 10kW is 6 miles north of me. (I don't think it's them, though, as I've never heard the RNV TOH network ID music on 1680.) Alternatively, if someone could listen to my recording and ID the station that way, that would be appreciated. (I also have a few other recordings, as well, but they may be more subject to co-channel interference.) --- On Fri, 2/25/11, paul crankshaw hoddles...@googlemail.com wrote: From: paul crankshaw hoddles...@googlemail.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] Request - Seattle, WA - midday TOH recording of KNTS To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Friday, February 25, 2011, 1:06 PM Courtesy of the Perseus receiver network.
