If possible, I'd like them to use a stereo format that doesn't have any platform motion even when you have skywave/groundwave fading or off-frequency co-channel interference, and can maintain stereo separation even with weak signals that only a DXer would be able to copy. (My SRF-42 that I had, and may still have somewhere, would have stereo mode on signals that other similar-sized radios with similar-sized antennas could barely detect at all. BTW it was forced stereo - every station would be in stereo mode even if it actually wasn't broadcasting C-Quam - it wasn't dependent on pilot tones.) I'd even forgive IBOC-like splatter if it's because their analog high frequency response is vastly improved. 73, Stephen From: Patrick Martin mwd...@webtv.net To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 10:28 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] WHO and iboc Steve, KEX 1190 has had theirs off too.

Re: [IRCA] WHO and iboc
That sounds like a good step in the right direction. I would also like (snip) These do not run IBOC in the Providence, RI area: WBZS-550, WPRO-630, WPRV-790, WRNI-1290. WHJJ-920 does run IBOC daytime, but never at night. Their antenna system isn't broadband enough to run it on night pattern. It's the only one in town that still uses IBOC. I do think that if it were to fail, they'd never bother to repair it. WBZS (Former WDDZ) also never ran it at night for the same reason. The current owners don't use IBOC. I was the contract engineer for WDDZ and there was never even one listener who contacted them about IBOC. I never saw WPRV-790 run IBOC. WRNI also isn't inclined to use it, even though it's installed. As for upgrading audio to better quality? All but WRNI are talk, such as news and business. WRNI is Hispanic and does have music. FWIW, the RI Public Radio programming moved to WELH-88.1 FM. The Hispanic programming now on WRNI was swapped from WELH on that change.

Re: [IRCA] For DXers targetting 1700-XEPE ....
I decided to try to hear what Tim Tromp heard in West Michigan on Saturday morning-- the Mexican National Anthem played on 1700 kHz at 0800 EST or 1300 UTC. Sure enough, Monday morning at 1256 UTC I heard a weak but unmistakable playing of the Mexican NA on that frequency, although like Tim I could hear no other IDable material that I could link to XEPE.. The assumption that this is XEPE has merit. Not only is XEPE the only Mexican station on 1700, but 1300 UTC corresponds to 5 AM PST. By regulation all Mexican stations must play the National Anthem at midnight and 5 AM local time, so this station was performing its regulatory obligation by playing it then. Baja California state, location of XEPE, is the only state in Mexico in the Pacific time zone. Thank you for the tip, Tim! 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI In a message dated 1/15/2012 8:39:29 A.M.

Re: [IRCA] WHO and iboc
Hi, One more thing I would like to add is that if IBOC is so good, how come WBBM 780 started simulcasting on 105.9 FM last year and in their station ID they mention Crystal clear on 105.9 FM.

I would also like (snip) These do not run IBOC in the Providence, RI area: WBZS-550, WPRO-630, WPRV-790, WRNI-1290. WHJJ-920 does run IBOC daytime, but never at night. Their antenna system isn't broadband enough to run it on night pattern. It's the only one in town that still uses IBOC. I do think that if it were to fail, they'd never bother to repair it. WBZS (Former WDDZ) also never ran it at night for the same reason. The current owners don't use IBOC. I was the contract engineer for WDDZ and there was never even one listener who contacted them about IBOC. I never saw WPRV-790 run IBOC. WRNI also isn't inclined to use it, even though it's installed. As for upgrading audio to better quality? All but WRNI are talk, such as news and business. WRNI is Hispanic and does have music. FWIW, the RI Public Radio programming moved to WELH-88.1 FM. The Hispanic programming now on WRNI was swapped from WELH on that change.

Re: [IRCA] WHO and iboc
IBOC was never intended for AM. The NAB and stations wanted it. So they got it. Now they find it isn't as wonderful as they once thought. :-) 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
[IRCA] DX tips ? from Burnt River ON
I've managed to snag some time at Burnt River ON, just as the Green Building Sustainable Strategies magazine I'm now editing goes to press. Been an exhausting few weeks, and have been so preoccupied with this that I've barely checked these lists. Tonight... KJOC 1170 IA is pounding in with Real Oldies Channel stuff860 WSBS MA is huge on 860, crushing Toronto840 has country to se/nw, suspect WKTR VA (daytimer)750 and 780 good to Venezuela. Had 1170 presumed Colombia earlier in evening with sports talk in Spanish with talk re futbol and many mentions of Colombia.Some TA audio - 684 and others from Spain, 693 UK, nothing really exciting. Will put out one or two ICE BOGs to the west tomorrow. Would have done that today but it was pouring rain, followed by a deep freeze. I'll wait till it's dry so can pull the wires back in when I leave. Otherwise they get embedded in the ice.
