[IRCA] 910 question
Had somebody playing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's Carry On (from 1970) at 7:12 a.m. this morning on 910. Surfaced for most (but not all) of the song. Around local sunrise 910 here in Toronto it is usually WFDF (Radio Disney) and WAVL (Liberty 910). And WDOR Sturgeon Bay WI was heard a bit later at 8:00 a.m. There was also some CW in there, which I assume was probably KCJB-Minot ND, as I heard them around the same time two days ago. Anybody care to guess who might have been playing the CSNY? Perhaps WGTO Cassopolis MI?

Neil, KJJQ The Ranch in Volga, SD runs 500W directional with one lobe in your direction and is farm/CW format. I've caught WGTO at their sunrise power up from here before KJJQ buries them. A note for the early birds in the CME to the west and not too far east of here. KZOY Always in the 80s 1520 has been pushing sunrise by about an hour. Morning Jock seems to like Chicago, Toto and Kansas lately. 400W/ND but you never know.

Re: [IRCA] 910 question
Here near Chicago I am more likely to get KCJB than KJJQ with country but could be either. AB on 910 is extremely rare here, but the more northerly the bearing from them gets the easier they seem which coincides with their night pattern. 73 KAZ -Original Message- From: Tim Hills thi...@sio.midco.net Sent: Dec 16, 2011 10:59 AM To: Niel Wolfish n...@ican.net, Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] 910 question Neil, KJJQ The Ranch in Volga, SD runs 500W directional with one lobe in your direction and is farm/CW format.

[IRCA] My first two VA GYers logged from near Chicago
Using my current south antenna (just one of these rather than the array of two) I recorded from 800 to 1600 KHz for about 30 minutes starting just after 5 pm CST on Dec 14. CX seem to have been quite good towards my SE then. http://realmonitor.com/tworidges/2xdoubleKAZ.pdf This is the version of the DHDL antenna that I've modelled and continue to test that seems most broadbanded for total BCB band coverage. Beamwidths are about 100 deg, which compares to about 138 degrees for a single flag-type antenna at 15 degrees above the horizon. Back null width is also greater than when using just a flag and I get little off the back end unless it is normally very strong. On 1230, I was surprised to see WABN mostly dominant and often listenable for a while with oldies and ID's as WABN 1230 AM 103.3 FM at 1708 and 1714 CST. During the same period I found WHHV sometimes atop 1400 but not as good and with several ID's and address and phone number given. 73 KAZ Barrington IL Perseus and DoubleKAZ south ___ 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
