[IRCA] 540 tonight

2015-05-15 Thread Phil Bytheway via IRCA
--- Begin Message ---
Well, I was "playing around" with my SDR-IQ tonight and I heard two stations on 
540.
N/S was WQIH850 in Burien, with a promo about the Wild Strawberry Festival 
6/20-21, which I logged back in 2010.
E/W was a loop with NO ID stating that they were an Emergency broadcast station 
authorized by the FCC to "this" community and that they were on 24 hours a day. 
No clue who this might be, but the signal was about as strong as the Burien 
station that looped N/S. No sign of CBK as it was probably too early for them.
Both these heard between 1850 and 2050 on 5/15 and were quite separate from 
each other with the loop.

The band was pretty quiet (not quite sunset here)... and I discovered that I 
have an intermittent connection in my Wellbrook loop coax connection that comes 
and goes depending on how you "wiggle" the coax connector (so I have to go back 
and forth between the antenna and PC while adjusting the loop - not fun at all, 
hi). Note that the coax leads into a potted circuit, so just how am I supposed 
to fix this (it's gotta be a simple fix 'cause it works just fine if I maneuver 
it right)!!!

Out driving yesterday, when my wife and I
passed a run-down sign that was so
sun-bleached as to almost be unreadable. But
a quick glance at the business associated
with the sign made me realize that I was
looking at W-B-E-Y, 1370 AM.



I turned around and went back for a closer
look. A quick turn of the dial told me that
the station was off the air...and I couldn't
recall if it was in my log book at home. I
took a few pictures using my cell phone
camera, as we had a look around.



In back of the building was a large
fiberglass C-Band satellite dish, that I
imagined had once received programming from
some other source. But no evidence of an STL
link. Instead, I found a tall telephone pole
with what looked like the remains of a 40
meter dipole mounted near the top. 50 ohm
coax ran from inside the building to the top
of the pole. Could someone had loaded up

this for use as the stations antenna?



The large faded letters on the front of the
building were almost like the voice of a
ghost. It was sad, and nostalgic---all at
the same time.



Railroad fans use the term "fallen flags" to
refer to railroads that no longer exist.
Think of companies like Conrail, or
Southern. Their boxcars can still be seen on
trains today, echoes from railroads past. I
couldn't help but thinking of the term
"Fallen Flag" when it came to this station.

Hi Guys:

 I'm still working my way through the recordings I made in Early May. Some 
lousy weather the past few days kept me from my Outside Chores and Yardwork, 
so I used the time to do some Dxing via the recordings!!


1 NEW AM Station logged and 1 CALL CHANGE as well. Also included here are 
some RELOGS of stations not heard in quite some time.


Usually by May I have packed up the AM BCB and moved on to FM/TV DX….but 
with the SDR recordings still netting me some New Stations it gives me some 
incentive to continue DXing AM!! I am not used to hearing a bunch of New 
Stations on AM BCB during the month of May, but this is my 6th New Station 
heard during May, and we are less than half way through the month!! Great 
Fun, and I can hardly wait for the FM DX to Start so I can carry right on 
with the ELAD Recordings ….only for FM BCB!!


I remember reading someplace many years ago that if you can DX during the 
Summer Off Season on the AM BCB, you can log a lot of Closer in stuff that 
is not heard during the Winter when the Skip seems to lengthen out somewhat. 
That may very well be correct as I have logged a lot of New Stations that 
are Lowered Powered and only a state or two away from me…..that have not 
been heard in my 40 Years of Dxing!! If the Thunderstorms aren't too bad 
this summer, maybe we can continue with this…..
