Re: [IRCA] Off Topic - Local Joliet Radio History - WAJP FM
Tom….That sounds like the old Low Powered WHYP AM/FM from North East, Pa. James Brownyard was the Owner, Operator, DJ, CE, and Custodian. he would get on the air in the morning, and would read the newspaper to Listeners for Local News. He would look out the Window and tell them what the Weather Report was. Often times he put an an Album side and would then go out and cut the grass or go Grocery Shopping and the record would play to the end of the side , then Skip for an hour til he got home to flip it over!! You could hear his Dog barking in the background, and things being moved in the House or Papers being rustled around. I loved listening to WHYP "WHIP-RADIO", because you just never knew what was going to happen today!!?? They don't make stations like that anymore. WHYP AM on 1530 Khz is now WMCE-AM from North East, PA and WHYP-FM is now WRKT-FM (Rocket 101) from Erie!! Sure do miss those Days!!

[IRCA] Off Topic - Local Joliet Radio History - WAJP FM
Today in the paper is an obituary for Mary Jane Pohlers, who helped put Joliet's first FM station on the air in 1960. I recall listening to this station, WAJP shortly after it came on the air with Al Pohlers, Mary's husband, as the announcer. The programming sounded "home made" and probably operated from a studio in their home. They aired local programing including a Polka show. Occasionally when Al was on the air he would say "Mary, can you please get me another cup of coffee" and in the background you would hear her weak reply, probably from the kitchen "Yah, just wait a minute and I'll bring you a cup."

[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, August 12-25, 2016
--- Begin Message --- These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also VHF/UHF, sometimes utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without much delay, such as http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access: http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page49 All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; ICR-75 E-W longwire UNIDENTIFIED. 774, Aug 21 at 1150 UT, JBA carrier looping WSW, not NW. I woke up around 1100 UT, finally gave up trying to resleep and checked prime Trans-Pacific DX pilot frequency just before 1155 UT sunrise here. So 3LO Melbourne very likely rather than NHK this time. Quickly stepping 9-kHz downwards, also found JBA carriers: 702 at 1155 UT from WSW, i.e. 2BL Sydney; 657 and 594 at 1156 UT which could also be Australia or NZ but not DFed. Too much 1550 splash on 1548 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 774, Aug 22 at 1156 UT, JBA carrier again, seems from Australia rather than Japan. No other splits audible at sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 820, Aug 19 at 0535 UT, Spanish music showing with WBAP nulled as much as possible, making very slow 22/minute SAH or 0.367 Hz, probably Cuba? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Or Mexico UNIDENTIFIED. 820, Aug 21 at 1152 UT, romantic music in Spanish, 1154 segué, 1157 fade-out before any ID; has same slow SAH as in earlier log, which was 0.367 Hz, Aug 19 at 0535 UT. Per 2015 NRC AM Log, no US stations in Spanish, and hardly any stations at all, west of Fort Worth until WA and OR. So what Mexicans? Per IRCA Mexican Log 2015, geographically and formatically, this one would be XEDRD, Durango2, 10/0.5 kW. Only others in N/W Mexico are in Sinaloa and BCN. Parameters may have changed as any XE QRM to WBAP is unusual here. Durango sunrise not until 1236 UT, while in Enid it`s 1155 UT. I was discounting XEABCA in Mexicali, which used to be news format, but what I heard jibes with this new log from John Wilkins, CO, in NRC IDXD: ``820 MEXICO XEABCA Mexicali, BC JUL 26 1135 - Segued vocals, occasional "Canal 820 ABC Radio" slogans; no ads or live announcements noted in about 30 minutes of monitoring. Good signal, always surprising for just 3500 watts. Alone on the frequency after WBAP fades away``. Too bad he didn`t clock the SAH with WBAP. Now I still need to catch such a slogan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 820, Aug 22 from 0533 UT, Spanish music, mostly romantic vocal, with WBAP nulled as much as possible, making slow SAH like last time. Listened past 0600 UT and never caught any announcement, let alone an ID or slogan, but maybe some appeared in fades, from per John Wilkins, XEABCA in Mexicali, ``Canal 820 ABC Radio``. Not hearing much from it after 0600 UT, off then? There`s the music again at 1158 UT but losing to WBAP by 1200 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 870, Aug 23 at 1203, XETAR in sign-on procedure with slogan ``Cuatro pueblos unidos en una sola voz, La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara`` and immediately into one of those languages.

Then WSB starts to fade up. Both day and night patterns of 10/1 kW U4 KAMA are supposed to go ONLY due west, so must be out of whack again.

Unusual since KYFR IA with a lobe toward us from the NNE, is normally #1 on 920 at night. Plenty of mentions of player names, but takes a while to figure out the teams among several mentioned: San Antonio Missions vs Arkansas Travelers. Therefore it must be KARN Little Rock, which is 5/5 kW U2, ND daytime but supposed to be a circle tangent to southwest at night, i.e. very little signal this way. Official site of the Travs, confirms such a match tonight, http://www.milb.com/schedule/index.jsp?sid=t574 but seems to say nothing about a radio network; perhaps KARN is the only outlet?

Promo for `Turning Point` on KBBW AM 1010 and ##5.7 FM, with two times, one AM, one PM. NRC AM Log 2015 shows the FM is K289BU 105.7, ``Life Changing Radio``. Then talk radio with a lifestyle coach. KBBW is Waco TX, believe a new one here, which should not be that rare with 10/2.5 kW U4. But let`s look at the NRC Pattern Book: day has major lobe south, minor lobes north. Night has two tight little lobes to WNW and SSE, which makes the minor day lobe better for us. Official FCC sunset in August was 0115 UT (Sept: 0030 UT).

Thanks, Russ. I listened to the recording again and noticed that the second song I heard was actually in English -- sounded like Aretha Franklin.

[IRCA] 1710
Overnight, I recorded the 0500 UTC top-of-the-hour using an ELAD FDM-S2 and an 80-meter inverted Vee antenna. When I play back a recording, I usually start at 1710 in order to get an idea of band conditions. Typically, I hear the Hudson County (NJ) TIS and less frequently, the Springfield (MA) Armory TIS. This morning, I heard both TIS's simultaneously, as well as music from a third station... either in Spanish or Portugese... but no ID. Anyone have a clue what the third station might be?
