[IRCA] NE Oregon, Sunday TPs
Generally poor for everything today, quite a contrast to Dennis' reception. LWBC poor for all freqs. At the end, MW DU poor though lots of low-band hets. 891 DU only briefly rose to decent level, same for 1116 DU. But 1548 with weak DU audio at time. Heavy domestic 1550 splatter is always a problem there. All MW 1328-1335 utc.

I also need them. I detect another station u/weakened KAAY' s null, but WTAM's IBOC is just too noisy even w/my 2010 to hear anything.

I just Google mapped your new location - Can you remind us where you where before? Trying to figure out what would account for the significantly improved reception.

Re: [IRCA] CKAC 730 will change format
Actually, what makes CKAC so well-known is that it's the world's first French speaking radio station. It is also interesting to read that in 1922, the station was transmitting with 2000w which is a considerable amount of power for that time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CKAC http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/listings_and_histories/radio/histories.php?id=495historyID=246 Sylvain Le 2011-09-03 14:49, Patrick Martin a écrit : This is sad news indeed.

Checking program schedule at http://580wibw.com/programs.html this is listed as 7:00-7:15 am Sundays, tho he never runs more than 5 minutes. WIBW is not so bad with the only obvious far-right wacko on its lineup being Glenn Beck, partly because of its dual identity as sports talk and regular talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 780, UT Sept 4 at 0237 steady open carrier from direxion of Stillwater, no doubt 250-watt daytimer KSPI, illegally making fast SAH of approx. 12 Hz with mutually-nullable WBBM.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 960, KGWA Enid, my local, Sunday Sept 4 first noticed around 1200 UT that it was dead air, with some hum; still at 1221. At 1229, what I thought had been some weak station underneath was realized axually to be just-barely-modulation from KGWA itself since it was absolutely steady. Risked turning up the volume: something about a camp in Abilene, Civil War history. Is no one paying attention at Williams Broadcasting? Still the same at 1237. Or, is no one at Williams Broadcasting? (Glenn Hauser,

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 4 Sep 2011
My own observations pretty much agreed with Steves's, rather poor here in southern Alberta. I did hear audio from both Japan (747/774) and Australia (1548), but only barely. 1116 was about the worst it's been in a couple of weeks, with even the carrier barely detectable at times. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Steve Ratzlaff wrote: Generally poor for everything today, quite a contrast to Dennis' reception.
