[IRCA] IRCA/NRC/DecalcoMania convention, day 1
--- Begin Message --- Day 1 of the combined convention went very smoothly. Almost all of the attendees gathered at 10;30 for the KKOH tour... followed by a lunch nearby and the 2nd tour at KPLY/KHIT/+. Both tours went very well and most had returned to the hotel by 3:30. Around 5:30 or so 12 of us went to the hotel restaurant for dinner (nearly banquet #1)!!! After that, we returned to our meeting room for enthusiastic topical discussions about DXing during the eclipse on Monday, followed by an equally interesting discussion on SDR receivers (mostly focusing on what can be recorded and how good are they compared to conventional receivers) After that, small groups formed to discuss receivers, etc. Phil Bytheway --- 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 reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

More and more XE`s are playing anthem at hourbottoms for some reason. Most likely XEBX Sabinas, Coahuila, but would welcome further XESAC Saltillo, or XEEL Zacatecas. Also often heard is XEGS Guasave, Sinaloa, which is partly // 650 XETNT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 650, August 12 at 1131, full IDs, maybe sign-ons for Radio 65, XETNT, and XHTNT, 106.5, Los Mochis, Sinaloa; 1133 into `Rincón Norteña` music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 660, August 12 at 1105, after choral NA, XEDTL sign-on, Radio Cuidadana of IMER, Ciudad de México, also on an HD2 of some FM frequency. XEEY Ags2 was already on and QRMing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, August 11 at 1053- 1055: 774 and 882 from WSW, presumably Australia/New Zealand. Another on 1098 has no null, so likely local birdie rather than Marshalls (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 774, Aug 12 at 1109, JBA carrier looping WSW, likely 3LO Melbourne. This so weak that I don`t bother with a complete 9-kHz bandscan, but instead search for 10-kHz Mexicans at SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1020-, Aug 12 at 1113 UT, annoying low het to KOKP Perry OK, slightly on low side; in addition to a much closer SAH to KOKP. Also heard previous mornings; can`t get a reliable bearing on it or enough signal to separate it. BTW, 740 KRMG Tulsa still suffers from a horrible rumbling low het around sunrise from XEQN, Torreón, Coahuila, as previously IDed (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 reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, August 4-18, 2017
--- Begin Message --- All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during EDT; when changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 UT period to the previous date by ELT]. 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; IC-R75 with E-W longwire.

Looking thru long pdf by frequency of TIS & HAR stations: http://www.ircaonline.org/TIS_2016.pdf I search on OK and don`t find much in this state, but some odd ones on split frequencies in the X-band, all with same callsign KD8618: 1614, 1628, 1652, 1676, 1700 kHz, licensed until 12/07/24 to: ``Conoco-Philips Communications Inc., Bartlesville, (Industrial Business Pool)``. Four of those should really stand out if they are ever active. Will have to seek them the next time I`m at OK Mozart. Callsign format of two letters plus four numbers implies they are mobile/portable units (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 1891, DX LISTENING DIGEST) == ** U S A. 1370, August 9 at 1158 UT, ad for Coyote Tractors on highway 290, 1159 UT ID as Fox 1370, but 1200 UT into CBS News bong. This doesn`t quite compute, so my research finds: Google is smart enough to correct Coyote to Kioti! US 290 connects San Antonio to Austin to Houston TX. The only 1370 along this route is KJCE Rollingwood = Austin market, and it`s Talk 1370, not Fox 1370. Wikipedia and NRC AM Log of last year confirm it carries CBS news; and the find-a-Kioti- dealer website goes to this: Paige Tractors, 4409 Highway 290 East, Paige, TX, 78659, Distance: 46 miles from KJCE`s Austin zipcode of 78746.
