Thanks Paul. Gotta love cellphone auto spellchecker. Just noticed it says CLYDE instead of CLT! Another note is that my car radio tends to overload easy near a transmitter but the i was nowhere near 690 or 1600. But I was near the 980 tx and I do have to consider that this may have been a mixing product with 690. 690 btw is STILL 24/7.

Re: [IRCA] Hmong chanting on 1670
Todd.. were you anywhere near the 980 KKMS tower site? 980 to 690= 1670 690 in the area is Hmong. By the way, 1590 over the line in New Richmond, WI was sold and will be flipping form COuntry to Hmong.

Re: [IRCA] Supercharging the ICF-2010 SSB Receiver
Hi Gary, You give some very good cautions about purchasing these oldies but goodies-- the Sony ICF-2010. On the flip side though, sellers unfamiliar with the 2010s can also be the source of great bargains on Ebay! Because they are unaware of proper operation or common, easily fixed problems with the receiver, some of these fine radios go for far less than their real value. At least three of the 2010s that I've owned were bought at a low price because the reseller didn't know to install the memories backup batteries before powering on the set, or they weren't aware of the simple-to-fix battery contact connection issues. I was also given a fine condition 2010 that simply needed a cleaning of the keypad's rubber membrane contact surfaces to become operational again. I bought my current 2010 for the princely Buy It Now sum of $9.00 and free shipping (Doesn't work... I want it outta here said the Ebay seller). In less than 15 minutes after arrival I had the battery contact issue fixed and was listening to RNZI with the radio. This one is in excellent physical condition, too. A few months later, the previous owner unexpectedly sent me the original Sony AC adapter, the Sony carrying strap for the 2010, and the Sony 2010 long wire antenna. He had located the items at home and wanted to send them along. It was harder to convince him to accept reimbursement for shipping costs of the accessories than it was to fix the radio :^) So, for the same reasons a claimed fully functioning ICF-2010 might not be accurately represented, a broken or dead ICF-2010 might not be what it seems, either. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA PS-- I'm looking forward to your revised Supercharged 2010 article, Gary! -- From: d1028g...@aol.com To: irca@hard-core-dx.com, ultraligh...@yahoogroups.com Cc: Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 03:12:43 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Supercharging the ICF-2010 SSB Receiver Hello All, For those who are interested, a major update of the May 2008 article (posted at http://www.mediafire.com/view/404c61oxxbd992n/SuperchargingtheICF2010LargeComplete.doc , to greatly increase the MW and LW band sensitivity of the classic Sony ICF-2010 SSB receiver) is in the works. The updated article should be completed during the Fall season, and will provide specific instructions for transplanting and securing a much more sensitive loopstick into the Sony portable's circuitry. The new loopstick will be based upon recent Litz wire improvements. The ICF-2010 SSB receiver is an ideal portable for tracking transoceanic DX station carriers during Ultralight radio ocean coast DXpeditions, although its relatively deaf stock loopstick has nowhere near the sensitivity of modern FSL antennas. Performing the loopstick transplant will correct this deficiency, and enable the ICF-2010 to accurately track weak SSB carriers that are easily within the reception capability of the new FSL's. After four major DXpeditions using a stock ICF-2010, I finally got tired of the stock model's failure to show even a weak carrier on DU stations that managed good audio with the new FSL's. Of course, even if an ICF-2010 owner has no interest in Ultralight radios or DXpeditions, the loopstick transplant will still boost the MW and LW sensitivity of the model, providing a great increase in DXing satisfaction. For those who are interested in purchasing an ICF-2010 for this purpose, care should be taken to obtain a fully functional model. None of these radios were manufactured recently, and many eBay sellers are not DXers or radio enthusiasts, but simply ordinary people trying to sell something that they accidentally came across. Carefully check the feedback of any eBay seller before purchasing, and make sure that they are knowledgeable about the ICF-2010 and its functions before trusting any claim of perfect performance. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] Radio Repair-Sangean ATS 909X
I'm now having a couple of issues with my own ATS 909X. Mine slipped out of my hand and landed hard on a concrete sidewalk right outside my door a year or so ago, and ever since, I've had to fold up pieces of aluminum foil and stick them into the compartment in order for the batteries to make contact. But more recently, it has puked up the last two sets of fresh AAs that I've put in. When I open the compartment, a gooey (what I can only assume is alkaline) substance is covering the batteries and it looks like the coverings have peeled off. The battery switch on the inside is set to alkaline and I've never switched it over to NiMH. I used a kitchen knife to take out the last set because I didn't want to get battery acid on my fingers. Now, on top of this, I've discovered that I can only listen to it with headphones on, it won't project any audio through its speaker. I'm giving serious thought to sending it back to Universal Radio in Ohio to see IF it can be repair ed. Granted, the Sony ICF-2010 had its disadvantages (not worth a darn when it comes to FM DXing), but it never had problems like these. 73,Rick DauSouth Omaha, Nebraska --Forwarded Message Attachment-- Date: Mon, 26 May 2014 20:24:04 -0700 From: w4...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] Radio Repair-Sangean ATS 909X To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Send it to C Crane and be done with it.

[IRCA] Question to the left coast guys
Hi All: Early this morning I heard a pefect ID for CBC Radio One that mentioned 88.1 and 690, on 530kHz. I have spent some time on line searching for a CBC repeater on 530 with any success, so does anyone know of this? Another possibility, it could have been a mixing product from my local on 610. Last week one of their towers was struck by lightning and they were off air, both their AM and FM for more than a day. Both are back up now tho they both sound terrible. The AM is running it's full 10kW, but the modulation is way down to the point of not being able to hear it on my truck radio. The FM is LH channel only and up and down in volume. If what I heard on 530 was caused by CKYL-610, I haven't yet been able to figure out the math. In the past when I've heard mixing products caused by CKYL, it's always been there underneath the product signal. Not this time. Anyone have any suggestions? The radio used here was my Perseus and the antenna my western beverage.

Re: [IRCA] Question to the left coast guys
Mike It could be a mixing product, since 2 x 610 - 690 = 530. I'm surprised it would happen that far from Vancouver, unless CBU is blasting in with near-local quality. There's a CBU LPRT on 540 in Ucluelet, but I haven't heard anything about a frequency change.

Re: [IRCA] Question to the left coast guys
Just a guess, but... 610 - 530 = 80 530 - 80 = 450 IF oscillator is at 455. If you have an analog dial, see if it gets any stronger at 610-((610-455)/2)=532.5 Mike Hawkins On Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 9:16 PM, Mike Stonebridge stonb...@abnorth.com wrote: Hi All: Early this morning I heard a pefect ID for CBC Radio One that mentioned 88.1 and 690, on 530kHz.
