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

[IRCA] Free access without app or web? It's called radio.

2012-02-13 Thread Mike Terry
Radio Netherlands Worldwide
By Andy Sennitt
11 February 2012
 
On World Radio Day, 13 February 2012, UNESCO will remind the world that there 
is a medium which reaches parts that other media can't reach.
 
Radio is still a vital form of communication because a radio station can be set 
up much faster, and at much lower cost, than a terrestrial or satellite TV 
station. Radio is especially useful for reaching remote communities and 
vulnerable people such as the illiterate, the disabled and the poor. It also 
provides a platform for such groups to take part in the wider public debate.
 
Radio also plays a vital role in emergency communication and disaster relief, 
which was illustrated following the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in December 
2004. RNW was able to help several partner stations in Indonesia by sending out 
“radio stations in a box” – self-contained mobile FM stations providing a 
temporary studio and transmitter ready to be used by broadcasters whose own 
facilities had been destroyed.
 
One billion people do not have access to radio, let alone technically more 
complex media like the internet On 3 November, 2011, the 36th General 
Conference of UNESCO approved the creation of an annual World Radio Day. The 
initial idea came from the Spanish Academy of Radio four years earlier. The 
date chosen was 13 February, which corresponds to the birth of United Nations 
radio in 1946.
 
World Radio Day seeks to raise awareness about the importance of radio, 
facilitate access to information through radio, and enhance networking among 
broadcasters.
Website: http://www.worldradioday.org
 
Education:
 
World Radio Day is intended as a focal point for discussion and debate on the 
role of radio in supporting the most vulnerable sectors of the worldwide 
community. Various events have been organised around the world. In London, a 
mix of practitioners, academics and tools providers are coming together at the 
School of Oriental and African Studies for a one-day conference on “New 
Perspectives on Traditional Radio”. 
The conference organisers point out that radio is still the world’s most 
active, localized broadcast technology. Because radio is a free and accessible 
platform, it plays a crucial role in promoting development, improving 
livelihoods and supporting access to education. They point out that “you don’t 
need an app or the Internet to access the radio!“
 
Social engagement:

But that doesn’t mean that radio has to stay in a timewarp. It’s easy to fall 
into the trap of imagining that the transmission platform is the only important 
element. For example, some shortwave hobbyists – and sometimes even 
broadcasters themselves – consider that when an international broadcaster stops 
using expensive, inefficient legacy technology like analogue shortwave, it has 
somehow ceased to be a proper broadcaster.
 
The London conference will be looking at how different technologies can serve 
to change the way in which radio is used as a platform for social engagement.
 
Boring:

That’s probably the biggest change in radio during the time I’ve worked in it. 
When I started listening to radio, it was a passive medium, especially 
international radio. On some stations, the programmes often consisted of an 
announcer with a strong accent reading out a poorly translated text on a boring 
subject, guaranteed to minimise the chances of getting a reaction from the 
listener.
 
In fact RNW was one of the first international broadcasters to experiment with 
the kind of direct listener contact that is now the norm in radio. In the 
1980s, before the advent of the internet and handheld devices, I took part in 
some live phone-ins for the English service, which went out in some of the 
Saturday transmissions. There were four transmissions to different parts of the 
world, and we were amazed at how many people were prepared to make an 
international phone call just to speak to us.
 
Grassroots radio:
 
These days, much of our two-way contact with international listeners is done 
online via Facebook, Twitter, and our websites and blogs. But on local 
stations, it’s much easier to get involved via the programmes themselves.

When I was at university in the UK in the early 1970s, I experienced at 
first-hand just how grassroots radio worked. On a sunny day, I walked across 
the deserted main square to the studio, and I said on the air that it was ideal 
weather to take a radio outside and sit in the main square listening to us. At 
the end of my show, I walked back across the square and there were several 
hundred people, and lots of radios playing our station. Coincidence? I’d like 
to think not. I believe that, at a very basic level, it demonstrated the power 
of radio in a small community.

Almost nightly here on western antennas during good SSS times..ie end of month 
in fall, beginning of winter months. On the very best sunset skip nights I can 
tell Vegas is in as soon as KNZZ switches power/pattern. Phasing WTAM 
certainly helps. I might have a 25 to 30 dB null on them with the western 
Double KAZ antenna, but phasing can add 10 or 15 dB more. But even w/out 
phasing, in good cx, KNZZ can override WTAM and is routine enough that I 
rarely mention hearing it.

I've never had Phoenix or San Fran as both have very unfavorable day patterns 
for reception from far east. Once in a while KDRY comes in as does XENAS.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] KHWG 750 Fallon NV Heard in Madison WI

2012-02-13 Thread DXERak
 
When I saw Mark's e-mail, it struck me that I had logged KNZZ 1100  Grand 
Junction CO as a DX test many years ago. Sure enough, I found it in  my 
logbook, 11/30/98 0206-0209 ELT-- message explaining the NRC, Morse ID's,  
closing message. Morse message was KNZZ repeated 11 times in a high pitch  
followed by one time at a lower pitch. My notes also say that I followed 1100  
for the next hour only to find no more ID'able material.
 
I did a little research in e-DXN's PDF archives of past DXN's. I  found 
that leading up to the date of the test it was not on the CPC calendar--  so no 
doubt it was quickly arranged and news of it only got out via internet and  
word-of-mouth. The test must have been arranged by the NRC, as several 
reporters  noted the message about the NRC that I mention above.
 
Since there was no published pre-notification of the test, there is no  
written record of the test's parameters. My notes do say that the test was  
scheduled from 0200 to 0400 ELT, but I made no notes on power. I would suspect  
that they were running on 50kw ND and not their directional 10kw night  
facilities that directs their signal NNW/SSE. It is also possible that they  
were running at their CH power of 36kw which first was licensed around this  
time..
 
In DXN 66-11 (12/14/98) and 66-12 (12/21/98) the following East  of 
Mississippi DX'ers report hearing this test: Greg Myers VA and Gerry  Bishop FL 
(also Ray Arruda MA and Steve Kennedy PA report this as a  tentative). The 
following DX'ers West of Mississippi  report hearing it: Bob Karchevski CA, 
Pete 
Taylor WA, Rocky Robello UT,  Frank Aden ID and Patrick Griffith CO,   
 
Does anyone else remember hearing this test?

[IRCA] Morning conditions from Waikiki for 13Feb2012

2012-02-13 Thread Walter Salmaniw
Thought I'd be a bit more energetic and check out the MW band this morning
from our Waikiki beachfront lanai.  Started at 15:58 UTC while still dark
and listened for the next half hour.  Compared to years past conditions
were pretty uninspiring.  As I expected, I mostly heard Australian
stations, with a Kiwi or two as well.  All I have for equipment here is a
Gary D. converted Tecsun PL 380 with the larger ferrite rod antenna.  Most
of what I heard was in the upper half of the band, although I did start up
there in any case.  A moderate dawn enhancement was noted.  Most signals
were threshold.  Here are my results  (6 level/threshold unless otherwise
noted):

1116 Good reception with ID for 4BC at 16:21
1143:  Fair with English talk at 16:20
1170, 1323
1132:  EE at fair level
1370:  local HI station with CRI in English about shopping in Beijing, then
a tribute song to Whitney Houston.
1386:  Good reception with Indian music from NZ
1440:  Looking for Kiribati  Nothing heard today
1512
1548:  Very good reception with Adele at 16:37.  Minor splatter from local
1540
1557
1566
1575
1584:  poor to fair with music.  To SW from me.  No TOH ID
1593:  fair with EE pop music at 16:30

That's it from sunny 80 deg Waikiki.  Aloha!   Walt Salmaniw

Hi all,

I have received many Reception Reports from the test we did on WFIL Saturday
night/Sunday morning.  I thank all of you so much for listening and sending
your reports in.  I will have QSLs sent out by the end of the week to all
who filed a formal report at our dxt...@wfil.com email address, or sent one
via snail mail.

Just for the record, I thought you might be interested in the locations from
tests were received.  By far, the Midwest (particularly the upper Midwest)
was the big winner in number of reported receptions.  Michigan had the
single biggest number of reports from any state.

Here is a list of the locations from which I received reports thus far.
They are in no particular order:
Carleton, MI
Tulsa, OK
South Omaha, NE
Mojave, CA
Western MI

[IRCA] WCER-900

Hi All:

I was in Coshocton over the weekend.  All the usuals were either on or off (the 
1520, Canton being the one usually off and it still is) but there was no sign 
of WCER-900, Canton.  The 990 Massilon was doing well, as were the other two 
Canton stations (1060 and 1480) and I've heard WCER in Coshocton before.  So 
they were either temporarily off or they've gone silent.

Bill,
A DX logging and post, even if it isn't super timely is still good info. and 
shows what can be heard.  Sometimes the opening is only for a few seconds 
anyways but it lets folks know.
For the record the folks at KHWG and 980 KVLV  were quite nice and cordial when 
I stopped in last.  Always cool to be welcomed.
As for me, I haven't DX'ed for sometime now but stay up to date, right here and

[IRCA] Bruce's Saurday (Seattle) Get-Together

2012-02-13 Thread d1028gary
Hello All,

Local Ultralight radio fanatics (and those yet to be converted)
gathered together for a very enjoyable DX-related meeting during
typical (dreary) Seattle weather at Bruce Portzer's comfortable house
on Saturday.

In attendance was Chuck Hutton, master DXpeditioner and resident
authority on obscure 9 kHz-split DX stations (and to my knowledge, the
only DXer to have ever received 1566-India on an Ultralight radio from
North America, having accomplished this during a 2008 Newfoundland
DXpedition), Bruce Portzer (another Asiatic DX authority, and author of
the authoritative Pacific Asian Log), Phil Bytheway (author of
Ultralight radio-related coulumns in both the DXM and DXN), Guy Atkins
(fellow Puyallup DXing fanatic, and the first DXer to have received any
TA on a barefoot Ultralight radio on the west coast, snagging
1575-Farda at Grayland in 2008), Tom Rothlisberger (fellow NDB-DXing
fanatic and DXpeditioner), Theo from Vancouver, BC (who, when
considering the local weather, probably wished that he was in Waikiki
with Walt) and yours truly (hopelessly-hooked ocean cliff ULR
DXpedition fanatic). and several others (I'm sorry if you were not
mentioned).

The conversation soon turned into a lively discussion of live Vs.
remote DXing, especially concerning the tradeoff of lost sleep Vs.
DXing results. The Perseus SDR DXers (with their relatively expensive
receivers and cheap Beverage wires) seemed somewhat perplexed at the
idea of someone using a $50 Ultralight radio with a $500 FSL antenna.
After an interesting discussion about this bizarre subject, a perfect
solution was found-- adapt the expensive FSL so that it could be used
with the expensive Perseus SDR-- thereby providing the ultimate boost
to the (dragging) Ukrainian and Italian economies. The design challenge
was eagerly accepted by the two Puyallup DXers (at least by one of
them, with the other one chickening out by simply offering to donate a
7 FSL to the project ). As for whether the single-optimized-frequency
FSL can really be adapted for broadband Perseus SDR DXing , nobody
seemed very optimistic-- but at least the plan gave us a nice excuse to
meet together again after the local Hamfair next month to discuss
progress (or the lack thereof).

73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)

I logged 'em on a DX test I arranged back in the 90's.  I seem to remember 
there were numerous other DXers East of the Mississippi that did, too.


I think someone arranged another test from 'em a year or so later, and it, 
too was well-heard in the Eastern U.S.

[IRCA] Luxembourg huge on 1440 KHz

2012-02-13 Thread Sylvain Naud
Can you imagine some of your home appliances going nuts consequence of a 
strong electromagnetic field coming from a high power transmitter right 
in your backyard?


That's what a number of 670 home located in the neighbourhood of the 
Marnach 1200Kw transmitting facility in Luxembourg are suffering. There 
even had been cases of leukemia. You may want to read the following 
article from the newspaper Luxemburger Wort to learn more. As I 
couldn't find the English version from the archives, here's the Google 
Translation from the French article which is not too badly translated 
after all (hopefully that long URL will work):


http://translate.google.ca/translate?sl=frtl=enjs=nprev=_thl=frie=UTF-8layout=2eotf=1u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wort.lu%2Fwort%2Fweb%2Ffr%2Fluxembourg%2Farticles%2F2011%2F06%2F153626%2Findex.php

As a demonstration of a big transmitting power and with propagation 
helping, here's a sample of CRI's programming ending a French program, 
IDing in full fashion and then, into the English program with news about 
the Canadian-Chinese trade agreement signed last week. This is a near 
3min clip caught with the Perseus hooked to the 55 degrees, 950ft

Re: [IRCA] WFIL-560 DX test Results

2012-02-13 Thread Rick Dau
As I scan the list of places where DXers heard WFIL's test, I see only one in 
either the Pacific or Mountain time zones, that being the one in Mojave, 
California.  Considering that the test originated in a location 50 miles from 
the Atlantic Ocean, that probably shouldn't come as any surprise.  In a couple 
of weeks, when KRPI-1550 tests, the DXers in the Eastern time zone will 
probably have an equally tough time hearing that one.

[IRCA] KDUN 1030 (OR) finally logged in IL

2012-02-13 Thread neilkaz
I'm still going over Perseus recordings from the very fine early Feb SSS cx and 
on Feb 2 at about 1927 CST a 50's type oldies song was noted mixing with the 
remains of WBZ (back nulled about 25 to 30 dB) and then another old oldie and 
then I thought the man said K-Dune at the end of something jumbled and into a 
medical oriented ad and then the gal clearly said Reedsport Medical Clinic at 
1931.

Finally in the log book after what must've been 100 tries in very good SSS cx 
during the past decade. I am of the opinion that I should be able to log all 
stns that run 50 kw ND in the US mainland but still no luck with Cal ESPN on 
710 or Cal ESPD on 860. 

Midband cx were good to west coast at the time..CKST often over WHO !! 1130 
Vancouver and OR's Russian stn mixed in. 1080 ESPN Portand good. Sacto 1140 
local sx pounding WRVA etc.

My earlier 1800 capture on the 180 deg antenna was also superb with TX all over 
the dial and new KJME 1370 near Austin logged.

Thx, Patrick Martin for confirming old oldies format so I know that I wasn't 
hearing things.

73 KAZ Barrington IL..Perseus and Double KAZ Antenna at 270 deg.

Re: [IRCA] WFIL-560 DX test Results

2012-02-13 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Well Saul, like Bruce, I came to listen, and I got skunked, even 
without KVI splatter.I checked for the carrier going off at 5 to 
the hour, and no sign of any mystery carrier that left the air for 5 
minutes at that time.


Another time!thanks for the test.

best wishes,

Nick
