[IRCA] WFIL Heard in Central PA
Heard well here in central Pennsylvania starting about a minute after midnight ELT with voice ID of test transmission, test & sweep tones, Stars & Stripes Forever, morse code ID then more sweep tones. Totally on top of the channel most of the time with WNSR-TN weak underneath, but they did fade into the background a few times. I am nearly in their fringe contour for their daytime pattern, so I'm not surprised they came in so well. Thanks to Rene for setting this up, and glad it got out so well.

[IRCA] WFIL Test
Needless to say, the test was received here at a little more than 4 miles away . During the brief silent period following the test I was able to add one not heard here before although heard many times when I lived in NNJ, WHYN-MA. I also had WNSR-TN for a new one overall. There may have been someone else in there as well, but that will take some digging and filtering of the recording to determine. Thanks to Rene' at WFIL for both running the test and also adding 5-6 minutes of off-air at the end for those of us for whom WFIL is a regular.

[IRCA] Still around
650+ unread messages in the IRCA folder and it looks like I've missed out on some good DX openings. Haven't posted lately or been able to do any DXing. About all I can report is that WNAX comes in strong everywhere in eastern SD and the electrical noise generated by a Kia Sedona while running makes dashboard DXing impossible but with a better antenna the '97 Continental I picked up cheap has good possibilities, KELO (day) fades to noise after 30 miles in the Kia but is still readable at just over 100 miles and FM reception is outstanding with the Lincoln OEM radio. The XYL confiscated the Lincoln so most of the time I'm stuck with the van :( The Continental gets better highway mileage BTW. My job takes all my time from Dec 1st until after April 15th but the bright side of that is I can get some new toys with the overtime and be ready for the fall DX openings. :D 73 Tim Hills Sioux Falls, SD ___ 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] MW DX from Enid OK, January 22-February 12, 2012
All times and dates strictly UT. MW log editors are welcome to excerpt items, reformat and change to favorite timezone if necessary. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; some caradio as specified; above 2 MHz on FRG-7 with 110-foot east-west longwire. These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without much delay, such as http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html ** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MW DX Jan 30; ours is not until 1335 UT: 620, Jan 30 at 1303 UT, instrumental NA, 1305 another anthem, of the state? vocal by M. 1307 sign-on mentioning 10 kW in Chihuahua, so XEBU in Chihuahua city, a frequent catch claiming double its listed power. 700, Jan 30 at 1304 UT, soft-spoken YL in Spanish with birthday greetings, introducing mañanitas in three languages, Mayo, Yaqui and Guarijío. (Mayo is invariable, apparently different from Maya; Guarijía is OK when feminine is required.) First one is a guy with guitar, not the usual tune heard in Spanish about Rey David, etc. 1309 segué to another one with different instrumentation. 1310 back to soft-spoken YL DJ with immediate ID as XEETCH, La Voz de los Tres Rios, greeting listeners in Chihuahua as well as Sonora, timecheck at 1311 as 6:10; 1312 quick canned ID by M in another language; 1313 start music program for the three ethnic groups, rustic tunes. Signal is fair but steady with hardly any CCI, more of a problem being ACI, perhaps KGGF 690 splatter. At 1324 runs a couple of federal PSAs, 1326 YL ID again. Now there is some CCI growing in English as XEETCH fades, making a SAH of 3 or 4 Hz which I can`t null, likely WLW resurging, which is close to collinear in the opposite direxion. It`s not unusual for eastward US stations to appear *after* the westward Mexicans around sunrise, when you`d think the east would have faded out for the day. XEETCH is a 5-kW daytimer in Etchojoa, Sonora, one of the federal government`s indigenous outlets.

Re: [IRCA] KHWG 750 Fallon NV Heard in Madison WI
Nice catch, Bill. I haven't hrd these guys in a few years. CK-750 can be really pesty when I have some antenna setup that nulls WSB down and aims west. By far the easiest NV now in the midwest (unless far enuf away from WGN or WBBM) is 1100 KWWN before they switch to night power as long as you can phased down WTAM or have it in a deep cardioid patterned antenna null. Bill..how much room do you have for an outside antenna aimed due west? This would be great in Madison and knock down Milw area stuff as well. 73 KAZ -Original Message- >From: Doug Pifer >Sent: Feb 12, 2012 2:54 PM >To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America > >Subject: Re: [IRCA] KHWG 750 Fallon NV Heard in Madison WI > >Nice going Bill. >I pass through Fallon a couple times a year and have talked with the staff at >KHWG. >Way to go for NV #2! >73- Doug Pifer >Salem, OR > >On Feb 12, 2012, at 12:51 AM, dxe...@aol.com wrote: > >> >> At 0245 CST, I am hearing KHWG 750 Fallon NV in the WSB null.
