[IRCA] DX Tip for WDXR (KBRV-800)

[Patrick Martin]

800   KBRV   ID, Soda Springs, fair with "Continuous Country Favorites
on KBRV" at 0345 EDT 4/26, Did not sound like 10 KW, as it could have
been the 29w listed as I have heard other ID stations with lp, with a
signal like this. With the A&K high tonight, no sign of Penticton. I
have been after the freq change of KBRV since they switched. I had them
on 790 from some years back. (PM-OR)

Radio 2ZB Wellington
75 Years of Kiwi Radio
__  One of the greatest radio ambushes in New Zealand radio 
history took
place in the last week of April 1937, and two new features from the
Radio Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com celebrate the 75th
anniversary of this cheeky event. Commercial station 2ZB was launching with 
much fanfare on April 28
but was upstaged by commercial sounding [but non-commercial] station
2YD launching on April 25. Feature Station 2YD Wellington Ambush 
www.radioheritage.net/story259.asp includes original surprised press
reports, a rare listener card issued for the first day of broadcast
and personal memories from a former 2YD technician.  Radio 2YD introduced such 
popular radio serials as 'Dad and Dave' and
'Fred and Maggie Everybody' to Kiwi audiences, later becoming 2ZM
before joining the now Auckland based ZMFM music network that still
operates in Wellington today. Meanwhile, 2ZB Wellington 75 Years Early 
Personalities is the second
new feature found at www.radioheritage.net/story258.asp which
introduces many favorite Kiwi radio stars such as Aunt Daisy and
Selwyn Toogood. Packed with long lost images of early personalities and other 
2ZB
memorabilia, this 75th anniversary feature will bring back happy
memories for older listeners and give today's listeners a taste of
the legacy of what has now become the local outlet of the Auckland
based NewstalkZB network. Radio 2YD and Radio 2ZB, two stations from 1937 that 
illustrate how
even state radio could spring surprises on themselves and their
listeners. For the stories of these and other New Zealand, Australian
and Pacific radio broadcasters see hundreds of features at 
www.radioheritage.com today. Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered 
non-profit organization
connecting radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

[Steve Ratzlaff]

Who'da' thought. High solar activity, high A&K indices. Last several 
days nothing for 9kc MW or LWBC. But this morning after about 1220 utc 
the band lit up, relatively speaking of course. High band first, hets 
everywhere from 1500-1700 kHz, X band DU freqs. 1575 with big het, 
produced a little very poor audio, talk, 1223 utc. 1725 PNG beacon GA at 
weak level, no audio filter needed, 1225. After about 1230 conditions 
shifted down lower, lots of hets 531-1200 kHz now. 738 very big het 
eventually produced very poor audio, R&R/blues music 1234 utc. 891 DU 
5AN with talk, mention of electric cars, poor, 1240 utc. Most everything 
gone after about 1250 utc.

No LWBC.

[IRCA] Changes at ESPN New York (1050)

[Tim Kridel]

April 26, 2012

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on April 30, 2012, ESPN Radio New York (1050 AM)
will be heard on 98.7 FM as a result of an agreement between ESPN Audio and
98.7¹s owner, Emmis Communications. ESPN New York 98.7 is New York¹s first
24/7 sports talk station on the FM band.
For now, 98.7 FM and 1050 AM will simulcast content but plans are to turn
1050 AM into an ESPN Deportes New York Radio owned operation in conjunction
with Hispanic Heritage month (Sept. 15 ­ Oct. 15).
The addition of 98.7 FM in metropolitan New York reinforces ESPN Audio¹s
strategy to pursue FM distribution for its content. Of ESPN¹s 364 full-time
affiliates, 137 are positioned on the FM band, representing a growth rate of
120% in the last two and a half years. FM stations make up 30% of ESPN¹s
total affiliate base (not all are full-time).
³Opportunities like this don¹t come along too often and it¹s tremendous that
we were able to conclude a deal that will enhance our mission of serving
sports fans in not just English but Spanish as well,² said Traug Keller,
ESPN Senior Vice President/Production, Business Divisions. ³Come Fall,
Spanish-speaking New Yorkers will have their first 24/7 sports talk radio
station.²
ESPN New York launched 11 years ago and will now feature a local weekday
line-up that will remain mostly unchanged with Maxed Out in the Morning with
Jared Max (4-6 a.m. ET), Mike Lupica (Noon-1 p.m.), Stephen A. Smith and
Ryan Ruocco (1-3 p.m.) and The Michael Kay Show (3-7 p.m.). Patrick McEnroe
will also have a Saturday show on the station from 10 a.m. to Noon,
beginning May 5.
The Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco Show is a new offering and capitalizes
on Stephen A.¹s widespread popularity on ESPN New York platforms and as a
regular opposite Skip Bayless on ESPN¹s First Take (ESPN2, weekdays, 10
a.m.)
National shows, Mike & Mike in the Morning (6-10 a.m.) and The Herd with
Colin Cowherd (10 a.m.-Noon), remain on ESPN New York and both continue to
see increased listenership and penetration in the market. February¹s ratings
indicate ESPN New York has had five straight months with at least a 3.0
share, good for 12th place in the market with a 3.1, up 35% year to year.
³This move to the FM dial is in keeping with the industry trend of sports
radio shifting (from AM) and offers an even broader reach for our content,²
said Dave Roberts, ESPN Radio New York Vice President and General Manager.
³By combining the FM reach with our wide variety of digital offerings from
ESPN Audio, we are uniquely positioned to provide coverage of all of New
York¹s sports. 
About ESPN New York
ESPN New York 1050 is the flagship station of ESPN Radio, providing sports
talk, news and local and national play-by-play coverage.  It¹s the official

Re: [IRCA] In the right place - KBRV 800 in Idaho

[bill kral]

 If KBRV is on 800 for a couple of years or more already then how can they have 
been hiding until now. With 50 Kw day power I would think that they would be 
dumping a good signal into this area anytime pre SS in the winter months. And 
where is CKOR these days? I haven't heard them at all. Only KBRV was on again 
last night but not peaking like 2 nights ago. Since they run 50 Kw day time why 
would they cut down to only 29 watts at night. That's not enough for a ground 
wave to reach the city limits and I'll bet that Penticton drops in there like a 
rock which would likely get KBRV to use a bit more than 29 to have a good local 
signal for the population of Soda Springs. Bill in BC

I don't know where anyone got the idea KBRV is 50kw day and 29 watts night.

They are 10kw day and 150 watts nightbig difference.

Re: [IRCA] In the right place - KBRV 800 in Idaho

[Patrick Martin]

KBRV is only listed as 10 KW day. But the reason I have not heard them
at night with 29w is because of 10 KW CKOR. They are a powerhouse on 800
here. CKOR is listed as 10 KW day 500 watts nights, but as long as I can
remember CKOR has never powered down at night. They are S9+20-30 on a
regular basis. With the A&K so high the past couple of days, it has
knocked out CKOR leaving KBRV. KBRV was no powerhouse last night either,
so I would guess they were on low power. If they have a decent tx site,
29w can do pretty good. I have heard several stations under 50w at night
and some are heard often with low power. The reason we are hearing KBRV
is because CKOR was knocked out ith the high A&K.  When the A&K return
to be normal, CKOR will be back.

Re: [IRCA] Changes at ESPN New York (1050)

[David Faulkner]

Hi All:

Yeah, heard Mike & Mike talking about this change this morning.  I hope this 
will eliminate one more tired, cliched, noisy rocker from the airwaves.  But 
didn't the 98.7 NYC used to be WBAI, "New York's Gadfly of the Airwaves," owned 
by Pacifica Foundation & known for its crazy eccentricities?  I think this was 
originally a non-commercial license.  Anybody else remember all that?

[n2su]

WBAI is still on 99.5 and owned by Pacifica. Non-commercial.

The 98.7 frequency was WOR-FM in the 60s, then WXLO and was WRKS (Kiss FM) for 
the last 30 years. Urban formatted.

Should make for some interesting happenings in New York Radio.

Re: [IRCA] In the right place - KBRV 800 in Idaho

[Mike Westfall]

FCC says KBRV is on 790 kHz with 5 kW / 29 Watts with a CP for 800 kHz
10 kW / 150 Watts.

Since it is being heard on 800 kHz, I guess the CP is on and  790 is vacated..


Is this recent?

Thanks. KBRV as been on 800 for sometime as several have logged them.
150w at night will get out a bit better than 29w. So maybe they are now
using that. I heard them on the Eastern beverage, and 150w makes sense.

[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, April 21-26, 2012

[Glenn Hauser]

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. 1050, April 26 at 1212, XEG with `El Mañanero` program from 
Monterrey NL, ``The morning man``, but YL DJ voice is not manly (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, April 22 at 1238 UT, dead air/open carrier from nearby KOKP 
Perry, with Spanish from Nebraska audible underneath, especially with KOKP 
nulled. Sister station KOKB 1580, Blackwell, also seems deadairish at 1248, 
with 2 or 3 other stations still skywaving in almost an hour after sunrise. I 
had also noticed 1020 sometime during the afternoon April 21 on caradio with 
deadair. At 1532 UT April 22: yes, both 1020 and 1580 are still unmodulated! 
Maybe they will come to life if there is a stupid ballgame Sunday afternoon? 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1070, April 26 before 1230 UT, KLIO Wichita KS is still duplicating 
talkshow from KQAM 1480, joint ID in passing, but at 1239 recheck, now back to 
music, local talkover at 1243 with time & temp, True Oldies 1070 slogan; see 
also 1660 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1290, April 26 at 1220 UT, traffic report including street numbers in 
the 100s, so not a small city, from ``K-car``, get it? KKAR Omaha NE. 5/5 kW 
station has CP for 50/5, says NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, April 26 at 1226 UT, Radio Luz program promo in Spanish. Must 
be KTNO The Metroplex, TX, no longer Radio Vida. Website is under 
reconstruxion, http://www.ktnoam.com/ There are only three Mexicans on this 
frequency, none nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1580, April 26 at 1230 UT in KOKB OK null, ``RCN News``, about 
Denver, announced as duplicated on 1060 Longmont, so it`s KREL Colorado Springs 
on the Radio Colorado Network. Just went to 10 kW day power, ex-140 W night, at 
1230 in April, 1145 UT in May. KLMO 1060 is the originator (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1660, April 26 at 1232 UT, True Oldies jingle, ``Baby-Love``. We no 
longer have to wonder which ESPN station we are hearing or echoing on 1660, 
just TX, as KQWB West Fargo ND has flipped to this. And came in handy since 
KLIO 1070 Wichita KS was still duplicating talkshow from KQAM 1480 during 
previous semihour, altho by 1239 KQWB has faded, and KLIO is back to music 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 1320, April 26 at 1224 UT, Spanish from N/S, 7:24 TC, kids` 
birthdays. Accent maybe border-influenced rather than pure Mexican, so likely 
XECPN Piedras Negras, Coahuila; the only other possibility around here in NRC 
AM Log is KRDD Roswell NM. Soon with Chinese CCI, no doubt KXYZ Houston TX, 
which NRC AM Log says is SS/ETHnic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Re: [IRCA] DX Tip for WDXR (KBRV-800)

[Patrick Martin]

KBRV 790 was a toughie to log some years back with Boise & Billings on
there, but I finally caught them. Then they were a toughie to QSL. KBRV
800 has not been easy for me either with CKOR blasting in, but with the
A&K elevated, there was no sign of CKOR that is normally S9+20-30 DB.
I'll keep my fingers crossed (and toes too.hi) on trying to QSL their
new freq.

[IRCA] Gone With the Wind...

[Ira Elbert New III]

...with a little help from a riding mower. 
My 135' Long Wire Antenna is no more. It was down and I didn't see it in time. 
The mower sucked it up, wrapped it around the blades a couple of times, and 
then it was no more. It was ripped in two and even ripped from the balun at the 
feed point. 
I know I haven't been burning up the dials lately, but I was thinking this year 
might be different once summer rolled around. Now I need to figure something 
else out. Anyone have a really tall ladder I can borrow?

Re: [IRCA] Gone With the Wind...

[Patrick Martin]

Ira,

Sorry to hear about your mower taking the antenna. I have not had that
problem, but my antennas have come down a lot through the years. Just
last week a neighbor was taking out an old dead tree and 50 feet on the
old fence went with it along with part of the beverage. The next day, I
repaired it. I have been out there in winds and rain to repair the
antennas off and on for years. Living is a very windy area in the
Winter, the weather takes a toll on the wires.

73,

Patrick

Ira:

Got an 18' ladder if you want to come pick it up ;)

I had most of a 400' longwire vanish into thin air about 25 years ago.

Direct lightning hit on 7/22 Copperweld and the biggest chunk I found 
was about 8". Fortunately it was grounded at the house end so the only 
damage other than the antenna could be fixed with a bit of paint.

[IRCA] New, Mexican on 1650 from DF

[Glenn Hauser]

México, nueva emisora en 1650 kHz --- Siendo las 21:30 horas de la Ciudad de 
México -Tiempo del Centro- [0230 UT April 27] empecé a escuchar con muy buena 
presencia música instrumental en los 1650 kHz identificando como "Zer Radio 
16-50``. Posteriormente dicen transmitir desde la Ciudad de México con 5,000 
vatios de potencia y pertenecer al grupo radiofónico "Zer". El buen amigo 
Héctor García Bojorge me había comentado hace unos días que había leído de una 
nueva emisora que emitiría en los 16-50.
Me dice Héctor que el nombre "Zer" al parecer es por el apellido del 
concesionario "Zermeño" y pudiera ser su indicativo nominal XEZER

[IRCA] Mini DXpedition

[Tim Hills]

This weekend I'll be treating my Lady to a long weekend in a rather 
isolated lodge and taking my newly acquired and repaired (unmodified) 
R71A. It was a very rough tax season for both of us and we both need to 
be away from people for a while.


KBRK and KJJQ  are the nearest MW stations and neither should be 
overpowering at that site. Antenna will be a simple longwire, length and 
direction to be determined once we get there. None of my loops or 
actives so I can get a baseline idea of reception compared to other 
reports for the same time period. I'll do day/night lsr/lss band scans 
as time and the XYL permit. (Don't bet on any lsr reports)


The location is about halfway between Volga and Estelline, SD. Not 
taking the laptop so the report will have to wait until I get back early 
next week.


We'll have the place to ourselves but I'm told the 4 cabins and lodge 
can accommodate up to 30 people so I'm scouting it for a possible early 
fall group DXpedition and for $250/night the whole place can be had off 
hunting season or $60/night for a 4 person cabin. T


Good DXing this weekend.

Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Thursday

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Only odd thing here was 1575kHz, around 1235-1240UT, 
Steve.   Probably was VoA with a couple of men talking, but just not 
readable enough audio, except to say that it was likely a SE Asian 
language, though at times I'd almost be able to imagine DU accented 
English...it was that unreadable.Given that there was no sign of 
much else, Asian or otherwise, it was a little peculiar.This was 
about 1575.997kHz; VoA last reported on 1575.995


best wishes,

Nick
