Re: [IRCA] KMZT 1260
I guess recycling is popular in LA Radio. How many times has that station been down that path? 540/San Diego, 1260/LA, 1510/San Rafael and 1050/Frazier Park take turns being K-Mozart. Maybe he thinks it will get popular sooner or later?

[IRCA] Fwd: 580 KSAZ AZ - DX Test
Original Message Subject:580 KSAZ AZ - DX Test Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2011 22:24:56 -0400 From: Saul DX sau...@sympatico.ca To: ircamem...@ircaonline.org, a...@wtfda.info, a...@nrcdxas.org, amfmt...@mailman.qth.net DX TEST NOTIFICATION Oregon DXer Patrick Martin relays word from Paul Lotsof of Arizona that 580 KSAZ in Marana AZ will test later this month. Sunday morning, April 24, -0300 PDT (0300-0600 EDT). The station is known as Radio Ebineezer, programs religion in Spanish, and will be running regular programming but at its 5,000-watt non-directional day pattern. English IDs are anticipated on the hour. KSAZ transmits from an array just west of I-10, about 15 miles NW of Tucson. Paul Lotsof says the station (another individual made the decision) will not be running tones or code, so anyone who thinks they have the station is welcome to call him (Paul) at 520-290-9797 and he can confirm it by playing it into the telephone. I realize that the majority of us, myself included, greatly favour the inclusion of morse code IDs, sweep tones, and such. And if fact without these the chances of logging a station are significantly reduced. My own case in point - from central Ontario, I anticipate zero chances of hearing this (stations in Windsor and Ottawa ON are dominant). Sweeps and code would be obvious and would spike through the other stations and present a sliver of opportunity for me. Even Spanish religion - something I have never heard on 580 here - is unlikely to be enough to do the job. My best guess is that a few DXers within fringe-range (CA CO OR, TX OK) will hear the station. This test will have virtually the same effect as a station running day power/pattern at night, with regular programming and IDs. I'm also thinking that DXers Down Under or in Hawaii might stand a chance. If I am at my Burnt River site on the morning of Sunday April 24, I'll give it a go. But I put my own odds at freaky-unlikely. I think I stand a better chance of hearing FIBS on 530. I say all this because I want to make the following point - that I think we need to appreciate what we can get. The alternative is nothing. Furthermore, I see noise-less tests as conversation-starters. Maybe there can be a next time. The same goes for tests organized at the last minute. We greatly prefer tests with at least a month's notice. That enables publicity to be included in DX club paper bulletins - some DXers do not have access to e-mail or to computers - and for inclusion on the DX Audio Service (DXAS). Many subscribers to DXAS also do not have access to computers. But sometimes, an engineer will decide at the last minute to run a test. In all these cases, we can only hope the test will be as widely heard as possible, and that we can use this test, with any perceived shortcomings, to build a bridge to another down the road that has more DXer-friendly features. I will report QSL and related information when I have that. So, go get 'em. Saul Chernos for the IRCA-NRC DX TEST COMMITTEE sau...@sympatico.ca - No virus found in this message.

[IRCA] multiple co-channel 50kW+ received at night?
Are there places, besides where I am, where you can nightly receive 2 or more co-channel stations running at least 50kW (or more, as may be the case for a few Mexican stations)? Here just south of El Cajon, CA, on 1580 I receive a fairly strong signal from KMIK Tempe, AZ (which is often as strong as some of my locals), as well as a sometimes too-easily-readable signal from KBLA Santa Monica, CA (whose 10 (?) Hz heterodyne makes KMIK less pleasant to listen to at night). Also, often I hear XEDM Hermosillo, SO, as well, but that's a tougher catch with the two other signals in the way. That makes THREE co-channel 50kW stations that are regularly heard here at night. Also what are some situations where there are multiple stations licensed for at least 50kW at night in a relatively small area? I can think of 2 right off the bat... One is the aforementioned 1580s - KMIK, KBLA (371 miles west) and XEDM (302 miles south). The other is 1010 WINS New York, NY and CFRB Toronto, ON 339 miles northwest. Anyone know of other situations like those? Any places where there are FOUR 50kW stations receivable on the same channel at night, or where there are at least two co-channel stations less than 300 miles away authorized for 50kW at night? (Extra listings in the FCC database (or whatever source you use) in the case of some Mexican (or other) stations don't count - ones where the transmitter sites may be some distance apart but use the same callsign, ones where they're co-located with different callsigns, and ones where there's 2 listings, one with the callsign and one with a 1 appended on the end of it.) ___ 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] KMZT 1260
Mike, It seems that so many stations that change format, they are searching for that Gold Ring format that will make them riches and number 1 in their market. It is an old story, but unfortunately on AM in this country, very few AMs make it into the top 20, let alone #1. An FM station has a better chance. But they keep trying. They probably have as much chance of making #1 in their market as they would wining the sweepstakes. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

No wonder I never hear XEROK. For some reason I never realized XEROK was not operating with the same power. I guess I never checked. The same was true with XERF 1570 for years, running about 18 KW if lucky until a few years ago when they boosted to 100 KW, now they are a pest on 1570 that used to be a great DX frequency off the beverage, after BC AB moved to FM. I got FL, IL, etc. Now I get XERF, CKMW, and sometimes SD. That is about it. A DX test would work well as morse code would cut through XERF easy enough. But XERF is just strong enough to mess up the frequency here and I cannot even get them to QSL!

I think they should also remember the lesson learned from the first four times that the experiment has been done, rather than keep trying it periodically. Then, remember (1) Its an AM station, and (2) its Los Angeles. He's gotta do something really different in that market to get anyone's attention.

The KUDL legal reads: You're listening to Radio Bach [soft and quick 'KUDL'], Kansas City's HD classical station, 96.5 FM HD2 [soft and quick 'KRBZ'], 1660 AM, and streaming on the web at radiobach,com. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI In a message dated 4/4/2011 9:57:57 A.M.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT Chuckle
Dave: I am probably one of the youngest DXer's on the list. Not the youngest, but probably pretty close. I've posted page long DX logs on an infrequent basis and gotten not a single response and get no response, but certain others who post page long diatribes get a response. Who knows why.. I dont have the most sophisticated equipment or the experience/history some folks do... and maybe people don't find what I've got to say interesting.

I had to look up oligarchy in the dictionary. :) It meant what I thought it would. However I'm not sure that the oligarchical tradition is just reserved for the NRC. And maybe not even radio related hobbies, either. I am on lots of forums and lists, both DX or non-DX related and I have been ignored in several instances. It is funny, even though it shouldn't be. Maybe it's because I'm younger than lots of the old guard, don't own tens of thousands of dollars of equipment, etc. In the past, I have tried to help some DX'ers with unID's, ask for advice, and so on while 90% reply there are some of the elite group that just ignore me and my peonic self. Don't try to look up peonic it's not in the dictionary. 73 and thanks for the inadvertent chuckle. 73, Dave in Indy ___ 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] KMZT 1260
Maybe another L.A. station with a more stable minded owner will eventually pick up the format, although I dont know who. KLAC and XETRA have tried NOS in the recent past.

[IRCA] KMZT Lars Larson
Well, the old man carried the Lars Larson show over from KGIL to KMZT, that program just now began after AP network news at 10 pm, so I get my nightly shot of conservative talk. When Radio Was (classic radio shows) no longer airs on this channel at 9pm. ___ 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
