[IRCA] unID statoin on 1320 during auroral conditions
Hi all, Still going over my recording from the auroral conditions in March. This is a tough one, which I first thought was a Mexican, but now I'm sure I hear Nuevo Mexico during an ID, so am thinking it may be KRDD. I'd appreciate anyone with better ears, or who might be familiar with the station's ID having a listen.

Re: [IRCA] KAAY 1090 is back; is KARN 920?
I actually noticed KAAY back on Friday evening just before Midnight Central Time with a program hosted by Roy Masters, then a short legal ID. Like Glenn, I'm curious to know what their current power is -- I've seen conflicting sources saying either 10 KW non-directional or 5 KW non-directional, based upon the STAs that have been extended several times over the past few years. Friday night, it sounded to me like the latter was the case.73,Rick DauSouth Omaha, Nebraska Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2015 10:56:21 -0700 From: walkerbroadcast...@gmail.com To: m...@yahoogroups.com CC: amfmt...@mailman.qth.net; a...@nrcdxas.org; irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [NRC-AM] KAAY 1090 is back; is KARN 920?

Re: [IRCA] Frankenradio
Thanks Brian, I opened up the SDR out of curiosity. pretty sure it's the same A/D chip, etc as the other variants. One of the disadvantages of using it as an IF/detector behind the R71-A is that I can only see about 300KHz at a time and anything more than 10KHz from center is attenuated. That's also a good thing. I've got the PIEXX memory in the Icom so it tunes down to DC and I get WWVB clear enough to copy with just a 28' vertical and 43 mix Balun. The SDR does dig out signals too weak to get audio on the Icom not to mention the better selectivity. Since the second mixer level is controlled by AGC I might have to do offset tuning to dig out a weak signal adjacent to a strong one but with the narrow filter engaged it doesn't seem to be an issue so far. 1320 is the strongest signal here so if I can pull 1330 out of the mud it shouldn't be a problem. You could always pick up a P4 XP box fairly cheap if you want to upgrade and I've seen dual cores going fairly cheap. The problem with application development for Mac and Linux is the same as it's always been. Most of the world runs on Windows/Intel and a lot of hardware manufacturers don't want the expense of having to write and maintain 3 versions of software.

Right now the antenna is just some wire and a balun and I have the parts to put the remote tuned loop V2.0, a modified Lear 2320-A, together as time permits. Add a hombrew phasor it should work pretty well. I have 2 of the 2320-As the first will be for MW and the second will be set up for LW. Nothing really new there but an upgrade from my last antenna system. What is new is the rig at least for me. I wanted to try SDR but couldn't justify spending a Month's rent and utilities on a Perseus and most of the budget SDRs didn't seem to be very good. At that I did wind up spending US$50 on an RTL.SDR. After a Month in transit from China I finally got it.. It seems to do OK with strong signals but the lack of dynamic range (50dB) makes it poor for DX. I did make a few catches but nothing new or noteworthy. Part of that is the antenna but it overloads too easily. I was planning on tapping the IF of the homebrew but I'm still short a couple of parts for it. Then I remembered the scope output on my R71-A. It worked, sort of. The output from the first mixer (70.4515MHz) has a lot of hash outside the desired passband and overloaded the RTL.SDR I put an attenuator in line, again, locals were clear but weak signals were lost in the mush. I think part of that is the quadrature mode used above 30MHz though it does a decent job on FMBC. Still looking into that but what I wound up doing is tapping the 2nd IF between the second mixer and the filters through a 100pF ceramic cap. Bingo! Adjusted the filter in SDR# and heard some sports talk right around LSR on 1330 fading in and out with 3 or 4 other stations and no hash from 1320, 5KW directional 6 Miles away aimed right at me. I'm assuming the dominant signal was WLOL Waterloo IA. but can't confirm, also heard what sounded like religious programming and CW in the mix. One of the problems I've had at this QTH is 2 of the local stations directional arrays converging in my back yard and another local that I can see the tower from the porch leaving big gaps in reception even with tuned loops, preselecters etc. Nearby power lines make nulling practically impossible on strong signals. I have all summer to tweak things and looking forward to the fall DX season. Some observations about the RTL.SDR. It's advertised as covering 100KHz to 1.7GHZ but using a signal generator I've found it's pretty deaf below 1MHz or so. It took almost 30mV at 100KHz to get a usable signal through the software. Was planning on using it at 455KHz but it's much more sensitive at 9MHz. I've only tested it to 432MHz. using the remote starter key fob. Not really impressed but it does fine with a 31 rod for local FM listening on the V/U input. If it's going to be used by itself on MW/SW I'd strongly suggest a preselector/preamp/attenuator. On SW it's the least sensitive (by orders of magnitude) of any of my receivers and even overloaded on 5MHz WWV :P It should work well with any radio that has an IF in the HF spectrum. Tried it at 455KHz on a DX-160. It just doesn’t seem to want to work well below 1MHz. It works on USB2 but the USB3 bus doesn't recognize it. Installation was very easy if you remember to RTFM first. I use SDR# and have HDSDR installed too. I prefer SDR# because the interface is more intuitive (for me). Processor load and performance seem to be about equal with both programs. YMMV. Using SDR# it runs fine on a Dual Core laptop if you keep the FFT at 65536 or lower and the old XP box with a 2.4GHz P4 at 1.024 MSPS. It's currently running on a Win7 AMD Phenom II Quad @ 3.4GHz and using ~22% of processor time. That's with the sample rate at 2.048MSPS and the FFT set at 131072, spectrum, waterfall and IF displays enabled. A P4 or equivalent would be the least I'd recommend so the old laptop is out of the question. As a receiver it leaves a lot to be desired but used as an IF/filter/detector I'm quite happy with it.

Re: [IRCA] This Morning's DX Log………..
Sorry about the weird post - I solved a European DXer's unID and pasted it here by error. 1350 WTDR AL was heard across the pond...

Not quite sure of the context of four numbers I hear before the ID, likely from another station. They're 9943, and perhaps a phone number of some kind. But the ID says WTDR Gadsden. That's in Alabama. Nice catch. It gets out fairly well to the north under auroral conditions but I have not heard it since 2013 here.

[IRCA] KAAY 1090 is back; is KARN 920?
---BeginMessage--- ** U S A. 1090, April 5 at 0614 UT, CW music in the WSW/ENE null of IBOC from KRLD 1080, where I have been getting KVOP Plainview TX in the Panhandle, but should be talk format. 0627 UT, oh oh, it`s gospel, with ``This Is My Father`s World``, and 0630 ID and plug for programming at KAAY.com --- so Little Rock is back on the air after copper theft! Also making 3 Hz SAH; maybe that`s with KVOP. The KAAY signal is not strong at all, and would dearly like to know what power and antenna pattern they are on, probably by STA. Nominally it`s tight toward Manitoba and Yucatán and not much signal over here anyway. Ooops, the ``powerful`` KAAY.com site is for sale; it`s really http://www.1090kaay.com But there is nothing obvious about its death and resurrexion. Full programming schedule http://www.1090kaay.com/common/more.php?m=10mode=scheduler=2 displays ``airtime available`` 24/7! Another schedule link covers M-F only. I think I saw the same many months ago. Latest informal letter in the correspondence folder at FCC says: ``ON MARCH 13, 2015, THE LICENSEE DETERMINED THAT SOMEONE CUT THE TRANSMISSION LINE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL COPPER. THE LICENSEE PLANS TO REPLACE AND BURY THE LINE UNDERGROUND. UNTIL THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED, THE STATION HAS SUSPENDED OPERATIONS.`` Two years and five weeks *before* is the next one on file: ``Exhibit 3 Description: PARAMETERS OF OPERATION RADIO LICENSE HOLDING CBC, LLC, RESUMED BROADCAST OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 73.1560(D) OF THE RULES.

Re: [IRCA] KAAY 1090 is back; is KARN 920?
KAAY came back on sometime early yesterday afternoon and KARN was back on sometime late afternoon/early evening yesterday, as reported by a DXer near Little Rock. 1250 which had picked up KARN programming is not back to simulcasting KIPR Power 92 Jamz.
