Re: [IRCA] RadioShack is gearing up to sell or shutter its stores, report says
Locally, since the prior round of shutdowns several years ago, there are 7 stores within about 10 miles of me here. Of these, 3 are selling off, shipping out and will close imminently. Two others, in large ( expensive rent ) malls will temporarily serve as "clearance stores" disposing of the merchandise from the closed store, plus their own. The other tow, smaller stores in out-of-the-way strip malls, and having the lowest rent will stay 'as-is' for the immediate future. I took advantage of 50% off in two stores to round out my own supply cabinet, and will also keep an eye on one of the clearance stores in hopes of bargains on a wider array of stuff. It's unfortunate that mismanagement, misreading the trends and maintaining too many stores ( a common afflictions ) will leave me without a 'go-to' locally for something I need quickly and will instead have to deal with on line and the resulting shipping delay.

[IRCA] The TPs saw their shadows today
Today is Ground Hog's Day and conditions reflected it. A small number of TPs briefly popped up out of the noise, briefly looked around, saw their shadows, and dove back into their holes. I guess this means we have six more weeks of lousy conditions before the springtime enhancement. The carriers were on 774, 1566, and 1575, in case anyone is interested.

Decided to check out a store for possible goodies. All I found was a Grundig S450DLX radio for $29. Works for me! Batteries were on sale too.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 February 2015
A small step up from yesterday, with 'small' being the key word. First tuned in at 1415, and noted 1548 4QD with traces of audio. It was in fairly steadily at that threshold level until fading out around 1450. Did do a bit better for several minutes around 1435. The only other audio was for 1575 VOA, which managed a poor signal for several minutes around 1440. Quite a few carriers above 1200, but none had any pretensions to audio. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ 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
[IRCA] TP 2 Feb Victoria version
A step down from yesterday, but not quite a step into oblivion. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): after that lead in, you were expecting Bangladesh? Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): or even Tokyo? not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: Anchorage? Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) OK, reality at last: 594 JOAK, pips barely heard 1500UT 747 JOIB? man declaiming, maybe language lessons, no 774 for comparison, 1529UT 774 JOUB? woman talking JJ inflection 1445UT 1116 4BC? man talking, DU EE inflection 1424UT 1314 ? 1511UT, man talking, emphatic syllables, maybe a preacher? Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter) 738 972 1503 1566 1593 best wishes, Nick ___ 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
[IRCA] 1450
I was sitting on 1450 just before 11 pm Pacific Time when both KZNU and KNOT took a deep down fade together and I heard call letters that sounded very much like KEGL. I wonder if this could be an AM/FM simulcasted or ? What city of license are those calls currently assigned to on FM?? Hobbs NM, Portales NM, or ???
