Re: [IRCA] 1220 unID w/classical music looping E-W from Omaha

2012-03-11 Thread George Sherman
I think Paul is right, the only thing that comes up for Sunday Classics is 
KJAN. Was trying to figure out them giving the wrong temperature. The station 
website has forecasts & radar, but doesn't show current temp. Might the wrong 
temp indicate they are either running an old show? It was 48 or so & they said 
35. 
 
Tried calling KJAN 1-800-283-5526 & it just gave me the names of the people 
that work there & it said nobody was available to answer call, but could leave 
callback # for any of them. I didn't bother. http//:tunein.com when I
went there gave description as Classic Hits, normally meaning rock, but think 
not in this case as I did notice a # of stations using Classics slogan that are 
classical. 73, George S., MN

2012-03-11 Thread Patrick Martin
For those wondering what happened to Bill Wattanburg from KGO. I have
not heard him since he was on KGO. In tuning around during these strong
AU cx, I found him on "The Buzz" KBZZ Sparks NV tonight. I checked
online and found he is part of the TRN Network and does weekends.  I
don't have a list of the TRN stations, but he was on KSCO, now KBZZ. I
wonder if the other KGO Talk Shows will show up elsewhere?

[IRCA] New Cuban station

2012-03-11 Thread Jim Renfrew

Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

2217 EST910"Radio Metropolitana", Havana area.  A new one here. 
Music, with ID announcement.  Getting pounded by the Rochester TIS.  Maybe 
this is a sign that things are letting up a bit?  The whole band completely 
useless up until now, like a bad car radio that can only get the most local 
stuff.

710 WAQI Miami, Florida is back in with Spanish Music and IDs as "Radio Mambi"

These are both being heard on the SONY SRF-T615 ULR Barefoot

However...I can't hear ANY of the 50 KW'ers from Cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit,

[IRCA] Congratulations to Rob Ross-- 1000 Stations Received on Ultralight Radios

2012-03-11 Thread d1028gary
Hello All,

Back in December of 2007, in order to express thanks to Colin Newell
(of DXer.Ca) for publishing my quirky SRF-59 review, I came up with a
strange idea to send out a few free SRF-59 samples to any Canadians
that wanted one. The idea was to spread the interest in Ultralight
radio DXing north of the border, since it already seemed to have quite
a foothold in western Washington state. At the time seven Canadian
DXers responded with a request, and seven of the basic analog
Ultralights headed north, into the cold Canadian winter.

The seven SRF-59 Ultralights ended up in various locations from
Victoria, B.C. to London, Ontario, but by far the most successful one
was the radio received by Rob Ross, who practically ran it into the
ground by receiving over 300 stations with it before the month of
January 2008 was over (less than 30 days of usage). At the time ULR
DXers were regarded as somewhat fanatical kooks, using tiny pocket
radios with no real hope of any serious, long-range DXing success. Rob
single-handedly changed that impression by receiving serious DX with
his barefoot, $18 SRF-59... including several stations in South
America. He was a one-man DXing tornado, stunning both the ULR and
table-receiving communities with his accomplishments. Within 30 days he
managed to change our reputation from a group of kooks into the hottest
new phenomena in AM-DXing, with repercussions that continue to this
day. Because of Rob's success, Canada became a hotbed of ULR DXing
activity-- and I was delighted to repeat the free-sample offer to
Canadians a few months later with the Sony SRF-39FP prison radios-- one
of which wound up with another phenomenal Canadian DXer, Allen Willie
of Newfoundland. The Canadian connection with ULR DXing has been unique
 from the very beginning-- and if not for guys like Colin, Rob and
Allen, we never would have gotten off of the ground.

Rob has been at the forefront of ULR DXing success not only in AM
results, but also in Longwave, both in International Broadcast and
NDB-DXing. I recently had the pleasure (?) of competing with Rob in
chasing Longwave beacons throughout the cold winter (losing, of course,
but having a blast in the process!). Anyway, Rob, you have been a
Master Ultralight DXer for the past 4 years, and a great inspiration to
us all. Congratulations on tracking down station #1000 (an awesome one,
at that), and thanks again for your outstanding contributions to our
Ultralight Radio community!

[IRCA] WMOX, WQOP? & somebody on 1590

2012-03-11 Thread David Faulkner
Hi All:

I haven't done much with the big magnetic storm.  But..

1010, WMOX, MS, Meridian presumed to be the one here all alone carrying the Jim 
Bohannan Show here on Thu. 3/8, 2210 EST.  They're the only 1010 on Bohannan's 
station list.  Mch wanted here.  I heard them once or twice in Port Huron at SS 
in the late 60s, usually just before KLRA buried them in the CFRB null, but not 
hear here until now.

1460, WQOP? FL, Jacksonville presumed to be the one w/EWTN pgmming, testimonial 
promo for EWTN & into EWTN pgm, but if WMCJ is still EWTN it could have been 
them.  The data I can find on the internet is confusing; it is reported that 
Queen of Peace no longer owns WMCJ & their format changed from EWTN several 
years ago.  So unless someone can give me more definite information that it 
could have ben WCMJ, I'm going to presume WQOP.

1590 UnID w/sports, sounded like their slogan was, "Your sports radio."  Not a 
sports net that I know; definitely not ESPN or Fox.  Jackson? (which remains 
unheard here despite their frequent use of day power at night).

Re: [IRCA] Fwd: Geomagnetic Storms Possible on March 11-12

2012-03-11 Thread Russ Edmunds
While these bursts aren't as strong as the prior one, because they're coming in 
on top of them, there will be a cumulative effect. I would expect the A and K 
indices to go up again as a result but probably not as high. Auroral conditions 
should continue for a few days depending on what happens with the sun going 
forward. The large sunspot group producing all of this activity is moving away 
from the center of the sun's earth-facing side and so we can likely expect 
things to subside starting sometime Tuesday.

[IRCA] Last night's auroral fun

2012-03-11 Thread Russ Edmunds
We had company last night so I didn't check in to see what was going on. I did 
have recordings going on 890 ( nothing but WLS even with them nulled, not even 
the Cuban ) and 1100 ( WTAM mostly with something underneath them with music 
and talk but too weak to make much sense of although I want to revisit a couple 
of recordings) and 1180 ( all Cuba, at least 3 echoing ).

1220 here is lost due to a strong local on 1210; similarly 980 and 1000 are 
lost to the local on 990.

If Rob could get Brazil on an ultralight in Ontario, I should have been able to 
do the same with a 2010 but 1100 didn't appear to make it through, but the 
noise level remains a problem, and during auroral conditions both the RF and 
man-made noise are stronger.

I'll set up some different channels tonight and see what I find.

INCOMING CMEs: One and perhaps two CMEs are expected to hit Earth's
magnetic field today. Of particular interest is a CME launched toward Earth
by a powerful M8-class eruption on March 10. Forecasters say the cloud
could spark minor to severe geomagnetic storms when it arrives on March
11-12. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras tonight.

150 kW.  Clear channel in Brazil.  It crushes everything in Newfoundland 
when we're there. It may be located at a distance, but it is licensed to 
serve Rio de Janeiro.


St. Catherine's was ordered off the air by the court some time ago.  Never 
easily heard here anyway due to a tight pattern.  I've always wondered how 
it got out at all with nearby Cleveland a U-1.


Also, a major geomagnetic event caused an auroral surge that soaked up the 
signals in the north favoring the south.  One tell-tale is that local ground 
wave signals are stronger when regional signals are absorbed into the 
aurora.  I had our local TIS on 910 all alone, all groundwave.  WNED 970 in 
Buffalo was also alone.  And I had a weak image from WBEN 930 appear on 660. 
An image is usually too weak to propagate at night. but when all the 
competition is being hammered by aurora, its all alone.

[IRCA] KOTZ-720 DX test

2012-03-11 Thread Robert Wien
 Tried for the KOTZ-720 test from Colorado Springs but didn't hear, KDWN and 
XEDE were all that was in.? I did *TENTATIVELY* log KOTZ-720 from San Jose, CA 
back in the late 1980's, so I'm sure it is possible, but cx are not now like 
they were back then, believe me...

I did listen to the KOTZ-720 test online though the other night on their 
website, and captured some neat screenprints of their modulation online during 
portions of the test on their website and put the screenprints into a 
Powerpoint package.? If anyone would like a copy, let me know...

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Good News Regarding The KOTZ 720 DX Test

2012-03-11 Thread Stephen Airy
Hmm..  I thought it was around 15 minutes into my recording (which started 
around 12:51am PST, which would have made it around 1:06am, besides the 
possibility that the clock in my Zoom H2n could be a minute off).  I can't seem 
to pick anything out of the recording, though.  I even listened to most of it 
again in case I had the wrong time in my mind, but no dice.

If it's tough to get KDWN to shut down, would it be possible to reduce their 
radiation to the southwest by about 140-160 dB during KOTZ's test? ;)

Another thing I was thinking .. don't know if this would work, but   might 
it be possible to include some fully-modulated morse code at, say, 7 kHz, along 
with a fully-modulated continuous tone at 6 kHz?  (BTW by fully modulated (it's 
possible I have the wrong term) I mean the same power goes into that morse or 
into that continuous tone as is in the on-assigned-frequency carrier.)  I was 
thinking I might have a chance, if the continuous tone could "fool" my PL-606 
into thinking there was a carrier there, and the morse would beat with it so 
I'd hear 1 kHz morse by tuning to, in the previous example, 714 or 726 kHz 
(getting away from some of KDWN's splatter, also XEEBC/XEX (not sure which, 
suspect the former) on 730 and KSPN on 710 are usually much weaker signals than 
KDWN, but KCBS's IBOC could be a problem, though).  (Maybe an offset of 5, 6, 7 
or 8 kHz would work for the continuous tone, with the morse being 
somewhere within that range and within about 1.5 kHz of the continuous 
"carrier".)  (It probably wouldn't be possible to switch KOTZ into a mode where 
their main 720 kHz carrier was shut off and instead they were on 714 or 726 
kHz, though.)

I did get KBOI, though.  Posting a recording will have to wait till at least 
Wednesday, though, as I have other non-radio things going on the next few days.

As for KDWN, this video clip could give you a little idea of what KOTZ needs to 
punch through. ;)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaLPsevaRGk  And just 40 kHz 
up from that:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICaOz_Nvxeo

Check the time you heard the phone off hook signal, Stephen and I'll tell you 
if it was KOTZ for sure.

And as for KDWN shutting off, its not that easy to get a 50KW major market 
signal to just shut down.

I would definitely want another chance to try for them.  I think I heard a hint

check my recording (which may not happen till Wednesday).  Also it would help 
if somehow some downtime could be arranged at KDWN so those of us in Southern 
California would have a better chance at logging KOTZ.

Just curious about R Globo 1220 from Brazil. A website puts this one in a 
relatively small city about 250 miles west of Sao Paulo called Londrina. There 
are other Radio Globo stations in other cities and one is on 830 AM. I don't 
have a WRTH handy so I can't see what its power is but I would think that it 
isn't a high output station in a remote area of the country.If anyone has that 
info then I stand corrected if I'm incorrect. How can that signal drop into 
several receiver locations in the Eastern US from almost 5000 miles away with 
so many North American Stations occupying this freq including 2 high powers in 
Cleveland and St.Catherines.? Bill in BC

ULR DXing started for me on Jan/01/2008 when I received a FREE SONY SRF-59 
Analog Radio from Gary DeBock as part of his Promotion to drum up some 
interest in this tiny ULR Radio...Since then numerous Ultralight Radios 
have been used with the SONY SRF-T615 being the ULR of choice. At least 90 % of 
the 1,000 Stations heard were logged BAREFOOT, using only the ULR's Internal 
Ferrite Rod. Several Loops, External Ferrite Rods and a DeBock 7 Inch FSL 
Antenna were used on occasion to log some stations. 

TOTAL TIME TAKEN to reach 1,000 Stations was 4 Years and 71  Days.

Inspiration to attempt this craziness comes from 3 of my ULR Cronies, and I 
dedicate the 1,000th Logging to these 3 ULR DXers!!

ULR GROUP CO-FOUNDER, Gary DeBock of Puyallup, WASHINGTONfor turning me 
onto the art of ULR Dxing in the very beginning!! Without his prodding 
and assistance...I wouldn't be writing this message!!

ULR GROUP CO-FOUNDER, The Late John Bryant of Stillwater, OKLAHOMA...who 
always told me to set Personal Goalsand then laughed when I told 
him my Goal was to hear 1,000 Stations on a ULR Radio!! I think I laughed 
too...well Johnny Boy...this one is for you!! Now we know the answer to 
that 
question."Can 1,000 Stations be heard on a ULR Radio??"

ULR LATIN DXer EXTRAORDINAIRE .The Late Kirk Allen of Ponca City, 
OKLAHOMA...Kirk you didn't hang around long enough to see this happen, but 
this one is for you too!! You would have accomplished this feat very soon as 
wellhad you been given just a little more time..

I would also like to thank my Radio Buddy RICHARD ALLEN of Perry, 
OKLAHOMAwho is currently sitting at 983 Stations heard on a ULR 
Radioand will be 
joining the 1,000 Heard Club very soon!!! His big surge the past few months 
gave me inspiration to hit the dials hard and finally log # 1,000.

Thanks to the Many Dxer's who offered DX Tips, and Station ID assistance along 
the way. Your valuable input made the trip to 1,000 a little easier!!

TOTAL Hours spent DXing to Reach 1,000 ULR Stations...I don't even want to 
guess!! Lets just say it was a lot!!!
