Re: [IRCA] Off Topic?
Thanks Nick Only once when my first line was too short and I had to connect two coax cables with an SO 239 fem-fem barrel connector. One thing I want to do is run one line from balun to the outside 239 with no connector. Tnx for help.

Have you experience with using the PL-259 (mating to the SO-239) connectors outdoors George? The feedthrough idea is a good one, but I believe some connectors are better than others for resisting intrusion by rain and other nasty weather. Some people coat them with rubber tape (Bishop's tape etc.). I'm not an expert on the subject; my BNC's outdoors are either coated or under an overhang to keep most of the rain off, and they seem to be doing OK. best wishes, Nick At 02:05 13-09-11, you wrote: September 12, 2011 Not sure this is the right forum for an antenna question. If not, please direct me to the right one. I am thinking of re-doing my lead in coax for my 400 foot longwire. Instead of taking it right into the radio as I have done in the last few years, I am thinking of putting in a two way SO-239 female connector in the bottom of the window frame so I can run a coax from the wire the outside of the SO-239, then a coax from the inside part of the SO-239 to the radio. Last year, the hole I ran the coax through the window got leaky on cold winter nights and this two way SO-239 solves that. Question: What is the best coax to run about 100 feet from my longwire to the outside SO-239 and does the inside coax from the interior SO-239 need to be the same type of wire or is there an impedance mismatch if I used a different coax wire? I think I used RG-58/U, because I had it laying around. Or does it not matter? Thanks. George A.

[IRCA] Where to to find PSSA and PSRA infp
Quoting Paul B. Walker, Jr. walkerbroadcast...@gmail.com: WRLV-AM would have Post Sunset Authority that were not aware of. The only place this record would be kept is on paper at the station. Also, sign off for WRLV-AM last month was 830pm.. and Ive known stations to forget to program their remote control for the next month... some station can program it in once into their transmitter or remote control and it works.. others must do it by hand every month. Paul To Paul and the list from page ix of the new 32nd edition of the log Beginning this year a proofing of the PSRA and PSSA in the FCC?s CDBS has begun. We have added codes for LSRA ?Limited Sun Rise Authority? and LSSA, Limited Sunset Authority. These indicate were the station has an Authority but it is limited in the number of months out of the year that it has been authorized. This is done to protect other stations on the channel from interference during these periods. Those wishing to find the exact Authority can review the documents at the FCC?s CDBS site. Using the CDBS station search: http://licensing.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/sta_sear.htm. Go to Details on the stations search form then View Correspondence Folder . This link will show the PSRA and PSSA documents for the station if any exist.

Re: [IRCA] Results of overnight DXing
Rick, keep trying for WING. They are a regular to Cedar Falls whenever I go there.

A huge letdown, especially in light of the two previous all-night sessions that I had done (August 18 and September 6), which yielded at least 16 new stations each time. Someone on 1280 with Fox Sports Radio was mixing with KBNO during the 4:00 hour -- almost positive this was WBIG in Aurora, IL, but it never stayed up well enough for me to catch an ID. I did get someone on 1220 with the Mexican nat'l anthem at 0603 CLT, which I would love to believe was XEB, but it faded out before the end of the song, so I've no way of knowing if it was indeed a Mexican or just a domestic station playing it. Unneeded WDLR in Ohio was ruining 1550 by running its Spanish format all night, thus nixing any hopes I had for much-wanted CBE. And, of course, I've already mentioned KRMO-990 in Missouri. At sunrise, I went after WOR-710, WTIC-1080, WIP-610, and CKWW-580, but all were no-shows. Someone noted on 1030 at 0553 CLT with Spanish programming in KCTA's null...I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's WWGB in Maryland, which will hopefully pay a return visit soon and long enough for an ID. 73, Rick Dau (hoping for better results next MM) South Omaha, Nebraska Kenwood R-5000 + Quantum QX Pro loop From: Derek Vincent eargaz...@yahoo.com To: Rick Dau drummer1965...@yahoo.com; Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 3:28 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] The All-Night DX Bandit Strikes Again Well how was the overnight DX??

Re: [IRCA] Nearest locals
Hi Dennis, Here where I live between Seaside and Astoria my closest locals: KAST-1370-1KW-Astoria-5.6 MI-S9+35 KKEE-1230-1 KW-Astoria-7.01 MI-S9+38 KSWB-840-1/.5KW-Seaside-8.8 MI-S9+38 The signals vary depending on what antenna I use. Like KSWB is S9+38 off the WSW EWE, but on the NE EWE is is S9+18 DB. Those above S meter reading are the strongest. All locals can be phased mostly out at night. 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

Re: [IRCA] Nearest locals
I listen to day timer KNBA 1190 and the horse race recreations with Bill Terry from Dee O'Connor Publications in the 60's and early 70's. KNBA would end their sign-off announcement with stay tune for KEX Portland. KEX would boom in the SF Bay Area. A clever way to keep your local listener tuned to your frequency when they turned their radio on the next day.
