[IRCA] Station #600!

[Brian Rachford]

I'll put together a stats post later, but I'm going through my morning SDR
recordings, and logged my 600th station from this location!  I was up early
and set up my 7'x24' Conti superloop in the driveway pointing due east.
Although using an SDR, I did start and stop the 5am, 6am, and 7am
recordings manually.

Anyway, the lucky station was 710-XEBL Culiacan, Sinaloa at 5:59am MST
(1259UT).  Often when pointing east, XEDP is on top over KNUS and/or KGNC,
but when XEDP faded out after their "La Ranchera de Cuauhtemoc" slogan, it
was just in time for the XEBL call letters and reference to their 91.9 FM
translator frequency.  Mexican #103 and Sinaloa #11.

[IRCA] TP 9 Nov Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

After having worked away from home for a couple of weeks, the DX did 
not enthusiastically welcome me back.






pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


nope



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


nope



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


1575 VoA 1329-30UT; man giving a couple of Voice of America IDs, then 
Yankee Doodle on the half hour.  This hung in for the next 20 minutes 
or so, but nothing else did.




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)


VoA passing through




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


 594 612 621 693 738 891 1134 1503 1566 1593


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Northeast Blackout Radio Reminiscences, 50 years later

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---

From: Mark Connelly, WA1ION


This is being written on the 50th anniversary of the Great Northeast Blackout 
of 1965.  Power went out in large parts of New York, New England, and some 
other adjacent states and Canadian provinces.


The evening of November 9, 1965 was going on pretty much like any other 
after-school night.  At my family home in Arlington, MA we had just finished 
supper.  It was a chilly night outside and I went in the living room to do a 
little radio listening on a Realistic TRF portable ( 
http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/html/1964/h080.html ) that had good 
sensitivity to pick up the many AM music stations from around the northeastern 
United States and adjacent parts of Canada.


A bit after 5 p.m. I was listening to WNJR on 1430, a black R station 
skipping in from Newark, NJ (after local WHIL Medford had done its sunset 
sign-off).  The song "Two is a Couple (Three is a Crowd)" by Ike & Tina Turner 
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GUA5IaDhOw ) was playing.  At 5:17 p.m. the 
lights dimmed, blinked off, blinked on, and then quickly went off to stay off 
for quite a while.  The radio became the only link to the outside world that 
ran on battery power, so its role became much more important than usual 
functions as a source of music and long-distance hobby listening ("DXing").


I was a junior in high school at the time and was developing an avid interest 
in electronics.  I was already building the occasional project and logging many 
broadcasts from around the world.  A couple of my friends (Phil [later N1PZU] 
and Dick [WA1FAE / later KB1DN]) chatted with me on CB channel 11 from time to 
time on 100 milliwatt walkie talkies ('  
http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/html/1965-a/h003.html ' or similar) 
including, I think, during the blackout.  In less than two years I would be a 
licensed radio amateur (now WA1ION).


The world of 1965 was one that had recent memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis 
and JFK assassination.  The Vietnam War was starting to ramp up and civil 
rights struggles rocked many cities.  Late that summer, folk protest music was 
making a resurgence with Bob Dylan's songs and "Eve of Destruction" by Barry 
McGuire ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntLsElbW9Xo ).  Such music had been 
earlier in vogue around '62 and '63 but was sidetracked a while by the British 
Invasion juggernaut.  Cold War hysteria was never much below the surface in the 
autumn of 1965.  The massive popularity of James Bond spy movies and of TV 
shows such as "Man from U.N.C.L.E." and "The Avengers" had a lot of appeal to 
young people.  Sci-fi was also big.  Space exploration and science had a 
certain amount of a "cool" factor; kids interested in it weren't necessarily 
thought of as geeks and nerds.  Boston's Route 128 technology belt was growing 
by leaps and bounds as government and private money poured into aerospace, 
defense, computer, and telecommunications advances.  Proximity to world-class 
universities spurred much of the activity.


As I listened to the radio that November evening, it quickly became apparent 
that this blackout was not one of the usual ones just affecting our street and 
maybe, at most, a couple of others nearby - your typical branch-lands-on-wire 
or car-hits-pole scenario.


Reports came in not only from nearby Boston but also Providence, New York, 
Albany, and quite a few other locales with stations that I could receive on the 
transistor radio.


There was a pervasive uneasiness out there and various theories running from 
Russian sabotage to domestic loonies / criminals to UFO's abounded.


The AM dial was an interesting mix of absent usual signals - gone with the loss 
of power - and other stations which had managed, thanks to generator 
availability, to come back on.  Leading local Top 40 station WMEX 1510 lost 
power at the Boston studio but managed to get a generator going at the 
transmitter site, then located in North Quincy, MA.  An improvised broadcast 
got going when some of the staff arrived there from Boston, 6 miles to the 
north.  But either the voltage level or AC frequency of the generator was a bit 
off as records being played lurched along between too slow and too fast.  I 
remember "Let's Hang On" by the Four Seasons ( 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8782KIj_rKw ) playing in a most discordant 
manner.  Aware of the problem, the people at the transmitter quit music for a 
while and just talked.


Houses started getting chilly as many furnaces wouldn't fire up without 
electricity.  Fortunately the power did come back and a more normal pace of 
life returned.




There is an online article written by a New York City broadcast professional 
that gives a good insight of how various stations responded to the blackout:

Re: [IRCA] South Suburban Chicago AM Station Turns In It's License

As I am 35 miles NW of Chicago these guys were never much of a factor. I 
presume they got clobbered by WMBD Peoria at night as they are a major pest 
here.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-9

[d1028gary]

Those hoping for improved Asian signals hoped in vain this morning as a 
negative sunrise enhancement finished off the meager predawn audio coming from 
several big guns. In the total darkness at 1410 there were ghostly gasps on 
594, 693 and 972, but these all bailed soon after daybreak around 1430. The 
extended solar tantrum didn't even allow the usual compensating signal from 
738-Tahiti, which was completely MIA. It's tough to imagine the sunrise DX 
getting much worse-- but during this lackluster season it seems like a pretty 
safe bet. 
  
73 and Good DX,

[IRCA] First Christmas music of the season heard on 1390.

[Stan Weisbeck via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
On 11/4 at around 2300 ELT, I heard my first Christmas music of the season on 
1390.  I wasn't able to ID them because they faded down & I had other things I 
needed to go & do but I'm pretty sure it was KLGN, Logan, Utah.
KLGN isn't consistently there at night here but does show up relatively often.  
They are normally AC/EZL & use the slogan "Lite 103.3," promoting their FM 
translator: K277BD.
Around 0900 ELT, 11/6, while driving to work I noticed my local KISC(FM) "Kiss 
98.1" playing solid Christmas music which will, of course, continue through 
12/25.  I believe this is lucrative for them as they sell sponsorships for it & 
have been doing this for many years.
I called my wife at lunchtime to inform her that Kiss FM had gone all Christmas 
music, preempting their normal "Lite Rock," & she was excited.  Kiss FM is her 
favorite station anyway.
I'm with Rick Dau that Christmas music should appear only after Thanksgiving, & 
then only mixed in with the regular music.  My normal response to Kiss FM is to 
remove them from my car radio presets until 12/26, although I haven't done this 
yet.
My favorite station is Kool 107-1, KPKL Deer Park-Spokane, WA, which plays 
oldies from the 50's to the 80's, including many I haven't heard on the radio 
in decades.  Where else can I hear "Pictures of Matchstick Man" by Status Quo 
(1968) or "Bad Time" by Grand Funk Railroad (1975).
For years I've yearned for an oldies station that didn't play the same 300 
oldies over & over but instead played lots of the thousands of popular old rock 
songs & KPKL does.
Sorry if I've veered too far from the DX topic, but at least I didn't talk 
about how my local grocery store had a giant Halloween candy display up the 
last week of August, & the day after Halloween replaced them with Christmas 
candy.

Stan,

As we say down here in the South... "Preach it, brother!" I wish 
corporate America and especially broadcasters would get it through their 
heads that no one wants 90 straight days of the holiday season. What 
used to be a special few weeks has now grown to something to be dreaded. 
Enough already.

I don't know about fearless...
Was approached about an article a couple months ago... went through the process 
and then didn't hear back from them re WHEN it might appear. So thanks to the 
watchful folks that spotted it. Didn't have any idea about front page 
exposure... kinda nice!!
Article focuses mainly on my radio sticker collecting, but I did get an AM DX 
mention or two.
I'm not holding my breath for tons of emails offering to send me stickers 
though, hi!!

Re: [IRCA] THE OTHER HAWAIIAN REPORT

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Could your 1410 been CFUN VAcouver? They are listed as carrying Both ESPN
and Fox Sports in the night and overnight hours from 10pm to 6am VAncouver
time, which would be 8pm to 4am in Hawaii.

That is probably alot more likely considering their power level.

[IRCA] South Suburban Chicago AM Station Turns In It's License

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

From Tom Taylor's Radio Newsletter:
Chicago-market brokered-ethnic WCFJ/1470 has been taken silent by owner
Newsweb, which will surrender the license to the FCC. Robert Feder says the
station went dark Saturday, with Newsweb Radio President Charley Gross
explaining that “the station was not profitable…we are turning in the FCC
license.” Thousand-watt WCFJ Chicago Heights has a demanding technical
array, which requires six towers for its daytime signal and three towers at
night. It uses a total of eight sticks, in the farmland south of Chicago,
serving the Indiana-Illinois state line. In addition to some talk stations,
Fred Eychaner’s Newsweb operates three other ethnic stations in the Windy
City (WSBC/1240, WNDZ/750, WAIT/850). Gross says “the rest of our stations
are good.” Those include stations near-and-dear to Eychaner’s heart,
progressive talk WCPT-AM/FM (820/92.5).

[IRCA] October, 2015 MW logs from Michigan

Mostly new logs and a few nice relogs compiled from October.  Heard from
West Michigan on the Perseus SDR, antenna used is noted in the log,
times/dates are UTC.


690 KEWI Benton, AR. - 1100 UTC 10/13/2015 - With very fast rapid fire

inspirational & black gospel music, OM ID given at 0002 UTC: "Your're
listening to W-C-Z-Z, Greenwood, Abbeville, serving nine counties with five
thousand watts of power." During mild AU CX on South D-KAZ, new.  (TROMP-MI)


1110 Radio Angulo, Cuba -  UTC 10/8/2015 - Over WBT when "Radio Angulo"
ID was given with mentions of Cuba over musical sound effects. Heard during
mild AU CX on South D-KAZ, new.  (TROMP-MI)


1110 WSLV Ardmore, TN. - 0158 UTC 10/1/2015 - With Eddie Money song and
legal ID at 0158 UTC, fair while creeping into Northern aimed D-KAZ, new.

1230 WFER Iron River, MI. - 0158 UTC 10/1/2015 - With 80s music and slogan
"Iron River's Classic Hits" with legal ID, fair and mostly on top of the
channel on the North D-KAZ, new.  (TROMP-MI)


1310 WDKD Kingtree, SC. -  UTC 10/8/2015 - ESPN w/ faint TOH multi call

1310 KNOX Grand Forks, ND. - 0100 UTC 10/30/2015 - With high school
volleyball, call letter ID at TOH, weak but clear on North D-KAZ, new.
 (TROMP-MI)


1340 KVBR Brainerd, MN. - 0059 UTC 10/30/2015 - Just above the graveyard
noise with mention of Brainerd and the call letters followed by partial

noise with YL giving call letters and mention of "Dakota County" (MN.), on
North D-KAZ, new.  (TROMP-MI)


1540 ZNS-1 Nassau, Bahamas - 0128 UTC 10/10/2015 - Finally able to cross
this one off my list with occasional decent peaks lasting for several
minutes with talk mentioning the Bahamas and music // to 810 during mild AU
CX, on South D-KAZ, new.  (TROMP-MI)


1510 KGA Spokane, WA - 0058 UTC 10/28/2015 - Noted several nights with fair
to good signal during the last few days of the month until 0100 UTC
(October) pattern/power switch and then gone, relog and made much easier
now using the North D-KAZ.  (TROMP-MI)


1550 KRPI Ferndale, WA. - 0100 UTC 10/28/2015.  See KGA log, the same
applies to KRPI, which hasn't been heard here since the DX test several
years ago.  Now much easier thanks to the North D-KAZ combined with
end-of-October long haul western enhancement.  (TROMP-MI)


1550 WCGR Canandaigua, NY. - 0050 UTC 10/30/2015 - With c/w music and

Spanish programming, strong and dominant at times on the North D-KAZ just
before pattern/power change, relog.  (TROMP-MI)


1710 CHIM-FM - Timmons, Ontario (presumed) - 2253 UTC 10/24/2015 - With
Christian pop music and unintelligible modulation that I believe to
actually be FM.  Audio is terrible in AM mode, but switching to FM during
good signal peaks actually produced decent and rich audio during the music
selections.  ID's as "CHIM-FM 92.7", best on North D-KAZ, relog.  (TROMP-MI)


And now the bonus log...

1755 Valencia Radio, Palma, Baleraric Islands of Spain - 2236 UTC
10/29/2015 - Very weak 

Re: [IRCA] October, 2015 MW logs from Michigan

690 has been KAFN for about 3 months now. The other towns mentioned are
stations they simulcast with

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 9 November 2015

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Three stations with audio today, making it the best day of the 
past several.   Quite a number of carriers, seemingly of DU origin.  VOA 
was the only evidence today that Asia still exists.



738 FRENCH POLYNESIA, Papeete
Fair signal with music program at 1348

1035NEW ZEALAND, Tauranga   Newstalk ZB
	Popped up a couple of times with audio, the best being at 1406 with 
talk by a man.


1575THAILANDVOA
	Fair to good signal from 1350 with talks by man and woman in SE Asian 
language.


73,

Re: [IRCA] October, 2015 MW logs from Michigan

[Tim Tromp]

Paul, this may be true.  But just to be clear, KAFN wasn't the call sign
used when I heard them on the morning of October 13th.  "690 KEWI" was
clearly announced, for what it's worth to anyone trying to log them..

Thanks,
-Tim
