Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 8 December 2016
Cold enough for us, though ;-). Wind chill today made it very cold, especially with me riding my bike to and from work. A comment on 1116. In other seasons, 1116 was usually a very strong performer when DU propagation allowed, often as strong as 612. This season, it's been a much weaker contender. I wonder why, or is it just my imagination? 73, Walt On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 2:54 AM, Nigel Pimblett wrote: > As others have observed, the Asian DX was frozen out today.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 8 December 2016
As others have observed, the Asian DX was frozen out today. One lone DU was the extent of overseas audio this morning. 1116 4BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Usual talk show host noted at 1406, and hung around at a poor level (with the odd moment of fair) for the next 40 minutes. Did catch a new one from Oregon though, KFJL on 1400. That leaves 8 to go from Oregon.

Of course, *some* Xmasmx could be playing but not all-out. And also KGYN is obviously still violating its requirement to protect Philadelphia at night. Recheck at 1321 UT, ``Today`s Country 1210 KGYN`` ID, after 9-degree-F temp check [official low was 2; now 20 in Enid] (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Dec 3 at 1320 UT, KXTD with non-ID for ``Que Buena, 104.9 y 100.3`` but not 1530. 104.9 is the translator in Tulsa, while 100.3 is KCXR in Taft OK (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) === ** U S A. 640, Dec 2 at 1337 UT, KWPN Moore OK sportstalk is absent, but I am getting a good E/W signal with talk about a green spot in the Libyan desert, turns out to be gospel huxter. Could it be KFI? Program sked at http://kfiam640.iheart.com/onair/ shows `Coast to Coast AM` starting at 10 pm PT [0600 UT] on Thursday, and nothing else until 6 am Friday [1400 UT]. More like WCRV Collierville (Memphis) TN per REL format, 50 kW daypower starting at 1300 UT in Dec, (night power only 480 watts) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 690, Dec 2 at 1340 UT, KGGF Coffeyville KS in local news, YL mentions ``98.9 Double Q FM``. That would be sibling station KQQF, obviously a qutely kindred call, but is it now duplicative? WTFDA FM Database does not show // 690 and names it ``Star 98.9`` with HOT AC format. And it`s the only FM station in Coffeyville proper, not even a translator of KGGF or anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 750, Dec 2 at 1341 UT, Ukrainian talk from NE, 1342 UT sounds like an ID, which would be WNDZ Portage IN (Chicago market and address), 15 kW daytimer, direxional pattern tangent westward, plenty toward here. Ukrainian really stix out on the domestic AM dial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 780-CUSB, Dec 4 at 0143 UT, cowboy music obviously from KCEG, ``The Ranch``, Fountain CO, NO signal on LSB, but on USB mixing with WBBM which is DSB. So I can listen to WBBM QRM-free but not KCEG, even with WBBM nulled as much as possible. 0150 UT, program is `Calling All Cowboys`. Then ad for Royal Gorge Cabaret, Rosenkranz Mysteries, but AC 312 phone and then mention Highland Park. Oops, this part is WBBM, not KCEG, for there is no Royal Gorge Cabaret near Colorado Springs, but there is a Royal GEORGE Theatre in Chicago --- with Rosenkranz! 0159 UT definitely back to KCEG for outro to `Calling All Cowboys`, which says it originates with 88.9 KPOV, High Desert Community Radio in Bend OR, then ID mentioning Colorado Springs. KCEG is 1900/720 watts U4 and not specified as USB only in the NRC AM Log, an essential datum in my opinion, like it also is for KHAC, 880-CUSB, AZ. CUSB meaning carrier plus USB; as far as I can tell it is not reduced, as typically done on SW, WBCQ 9330. KCEG day pattern goes north, smaller night pattern SSE, neither should be much good for here but it`s a significant challenge to WBBM when KSPI is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1160, Dec 8 at 1317 UT, KSL, SLC UT with ABC News headlines, ID, traffic report. I always associated KSL with CBS, but CBS Radio (news) network seems about to self-destruct. NRC AM Log shows nets as both CBS and ABC in that order, plus others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) --- End Message --- ___ 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 r
