[IRCA] The ants are marching

2012-07-14 Thread Jim Renfrew

Jim Renfrew, Holley NY

Anyone ever seen this?  I've got a 200 foot long wire that stretches from 
the house to the road.  I found an active ant trail the other day, with ants 
busily coming and going along it.  The wire goes through trees, so the ants 
are probably exiting somewhere along the way.

[IRCA] Trying to solve unIDs on 540 from January 1993

2012-07-14 Thread Rick Dau
Looking for anyone living in Central or Eastern Time Zones who might've had a 
tape recorder rolling during the DX test of KNAK-540 in Utah in January 1993 
(sorry, can't remember the exact date).  I never got the test from KNAK, but I 
heard two unIDs on 540 that morning that have bedeviled me for years.  One was 
playing classical music (Note: AFTER CBK's s/off!) and the other had a rock (or 
oldies) format with Brother Louie by the Stories, Whipping Post by The 
Allman Brothers, and Wild Thing by the Troggs.  I stuck this is DX News back 
then to see who could figure it out, but never got a reply.  Why am I so 
occupied with unIDs from nearly 20 years ago?  'Cause I wanna get 'em solved!  
Respond here or write me off-list if ya want.

The 540 was almost certainly one of Saul Levine's southern
California/Tijuana pair. It appears the Tijuana 540 didn't become
classical XEBACH until 1998 or thereabouts, so we can probably narrow this
down to the now-defunct KKGO 540 Costa Mesa (which wasn't really in Costa
Mesa, but 90 miles away in Hesperia.)

I found the date of the test -- January 4, 1993, the same morning that 
WNTK-1020 ran a DX test (an hour after KNAK's) and provided me with my first 
logging from New Hampshire.  I should add that I was living in Iowa City at the 
time, making California on 540 seem, IMHO, rather unlikely.  The reason I 
directed this request towards DXers in the Central and Eastern Time Zones is 
that I highly suspect that one of these culprits is from those regions.  Or 
perhaps both culprits are.  The fact that New Hampshire was coming in under 
KDKA indicates that cx to the east were favorable that morning.

2012-07-14 Thread timhall1
I think the station near Pittsburgh used to play classical before they changed 
to mouse droppings (Disney).  And there used to be some LPRTs on 540 IIRC.  
Levine's stations on 540 (I suppose he had started leasing Tijuana by then; 
remember they were QRM for his Hesperia station when they first came on around 
1991) were changing formats every 3 months back then - jazz, showtunes, 
traffic, strange off-kilter nostalgia (Tony Bennett's worst-ever recordings 
worked into EVERY set), and eventually classical.

Unfortunately I think this one will stay UNID...

Re: [IRCA] KNAK 540 and more

2012-07-14 Thread amdxer


Rick:

The KNAK 540 DX Test was heard here on
January 4, 1993 (on the same night there was another test
from WNTK 1020 New London, N.H. which was also heard).

My hand written notes for 540 indicate that KWMT
was playing CW music.

Also noted in my
notes was an unid station on 540 with Symphony music.

I'll try and dig up my castte tape for this time
period - it won't be soon - I had several hundred tapes to
dig through.

Subject: [ABDX] Re: [NRC-AM] Trying to solve unIDs on 540 from January 1993


  
 Looking for anyone living in Central or Eastern Time Zones who might've
 had a tape recorder rolling during the DX test of KNAK-540 in Utah in
 January 1993 (sorry, can't remember the exact date).  I never got the test
 from KNAK, but I heard two unIDs on 540 that morning that have bedeviled
 me for years.  One was playing classical music (Note: AFTER CBK's s/off!)
 and the other had a rock (or oldies) format with Brother Louie by the
 Stories, Whipping Post by The Allman Brothers, and Wild Thing by the
 Troggs. 

The 540 was almost certainly one of Saul Levine's southern
California/Tijuana pair. It appears the Tijuana 540 didn't become
classical XEBACH until 1998 or thereabouts, so we can probably narrow this
down to the now-defunct KKGO 540 Costa Mesa (which wasn't really in Costa
Mesa, but 90 miles away in Hesperia.)

Lots of interference.  Not sure what WGBW is doing now.  Thanks for the 
test.

[IRCA] WGBW-1590 DX test

2012-07-14 Thread Mike Brooker
WGBW-1590 DX test noted over usual pest WAKR with tone at 0104 EDT, voice ID 
mentioning testing during the experimental period with 1 watts, code 
ID into oldies (e.g. Beach Boys). More code ID and sweep tone at 0117.


Not needed, QSLed on similar test in 2011, but nice to have a logging report 
in mid-July.
