[IRCA] TP 10 Feb Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

A great morning for sleeping in.



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

not so




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


the above passing through




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

not even this




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) 

1548 two men, one on phone? sounded DU English but 1550 splash was rough, 
1521UT.  Interestingly. this was nearly as good on the north Flag which is 
normally pretty unresponsive to down unders.


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

nothing much seemed to be Asian; 
756 765 882 1017 1593 seemed to be DU  


best wishes,

Nick

That is very nice. Thanks for sharing. Hard to believe 9 years have passed. I 
often think of all of our visits through the years. John is dearly missed.

[over 337,000 views! as of February 10, 2019]

660, Feb 4 at 1401 UT, not hearing KTNN at first vs TX/NE?, maybe late 
switch to 50 kW ND day, but there it is at 1408 UT in Navajo with lots 
of English inserted like ``Senate Indian Affairs Committee``, and 1411 
would you believe a Homecare Solutions LLC commercial mostly in 
Navajo. Fading out by 1413 while 770 KKOB is still in.

750, Feb 5 at 1404 UT, `Newstalk 750 KBNN and 104.3``, i.e. 
5 kW ND daytimer in Lebanon MO, overcoming KMMJ. Seldom heard other 
than at sunrise; last logged April 25. NRC AM Log has no FM. WTFDA DB 
shows no 104.3 corresponding either, but per both, KMMJ Nebraska 
*does* have a 104.3 translator. Sure did not sound like it at the 
time, but the ID I heard must have been a mixture of the two. KBNN 
website is the least important part of http://www.myozarksonline.com/ 
cluster, showing little about it except a low-res logo and link to 
public file. The logo does say Talk, if not News-Talk, while KMMJ is 
religious.

770, Feb 4 at 1401 UT, KKOB Albuquerque in well with local news and
traffic, on 50 kW ND a quarter-hour earlier now in February. 

860, Feb 7 at 1412 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is unusually weak, 
and nulling that I have anotherstation playing ``Hey Jude``; 1418 
``Greatest Hits of the 60s & 70s on your smartphone --- Kono-land``, 
so KONO San Antonio TX, 5000/900 watts U2, still rockin`. NRC AM Log 
slogan reads ``70s & 80s``

880-CUSB, Feb 4 at 1415 UT, finally getting some KHAC with gospel 
huxter in English, KRVN nulled. 

880, Feb 7 at 1408 UT, with KRVN nulled as much as 
possible, Spanish M chat, bits of norteña music, mentions Nuevo 
León, 1412 fading, 1417 back with ID mentioning 880. Loops approx. 
SW/NE and my first thought is XEV Chihuahua2, but IRCA Mexican Log 
says: XEV has finished moving to FM, but from 2017 there has been a CP 
for another station there, XECHEP, 5000/250 watts, Escápate al 
Paraiso. Unless that`s started up, the only other likely N/W Mexican 
this late would be XEPNK, Los Mochis, Sinaloa. 

Rather I suspect being faked out again by WIJR Highland IL, which per 
NRC AM Log is 1700/160/500 U4 from an address in Overland MO (St Louis 
market), as ``La Primera 880 AM, La Raza``. The only other USA SS 
possibilities would be WMDB in Nashville TN, rather late for that 
further east; and KJOZ Conroe TX but religious in the wrong direxion.

1000, Feb 4 at 1419 UT, gospel huxter in English making slow SAH with 
KTOK OKC nulled as much as possible; i.e. KKIM Albuquerque now on 10 
kW ND day power, standard SAH. 

1170, Feb 6 at 1400 UT I notice that KFAQ Tulsa OK goes to 
CBS News --- not a network for them in NRC AM Log; I`m sure Wayne will 
tell us if that change has already been noted.

1270, Feb 4 at 1428 UT, looping NNE/SSW, `Unlocking the 
Bible` is finishing (? I have several that are not locked), 1429 
``Faith Radio`` ID and promos, ``Sioux Falls at AM 1270``; 1430 
Keloland TV Weather Center forecasts highs and lows: +3/-4/+11 F. It`s 
KNWC. I am trying to recall the original call of this but FCC AM Query 
claims it has always been KNWC.

1370, Feb 7 at 2259 UT, I`m seeking KGNO Dodge City KS, 
which at 5 kW ND ought to be audible on daytime groundwave here, but 
never is; surely with skywave starting up? It`s 243 km = 151 miles 
away. No sign of it; instead:

1370, Feb 7 at 2259 UT, ``Talk 13-70, one minute from CBS News``, But 
Austin ID, 2300 CBS News and signal drops, i.e. KJCE Rollingwood TX. 
But LSS there is not until 0015.

I have been unable to hear any trace of KGNO for more than a 
sesquiyear, but can find NO information at FCC AM Query about it being 
anything other than active: nothing in correspondence file about STA 
for silence or reduced power, etc. Continues to be listed in NRC AM 
Log with no notation about it being silent. Likewise at radio-
locator.com with link to website:
http://www.swksradio.com/kgno-am-1370/
and Listen Live link, so I do so at 1659 UT Feb 8: Yes, IDs as KGNO 
1370, DC`s first radio station, just like on website: ``1370 KGNO is 
Dodge City’s FIRST radio station! It was signed on in June of 1930``. 
And into Fox ``news``. What is going on here? See my previous 

[IRCA] The passing of Mary McFarland - wife of 57 years to Ian McFarland

[R. Colin Newell]

https://www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com/obituaries/mary-mcfarland/

It is with regret that I pass along Ian McFarland's news of the passing of
his beloved Mary - wife of 57 years.

Ian, Mary, my wife Andrea, and I have been close friends for around 20
years now - and we share Ian's loss. Please keep Ian in your thoughts - his
voice brought pleasure to thousands around the World through the miracle of
Short-wave radio.

He could use our thoughts, prayers and shared grief right now.

Thanks everyone.

I miss John too……Never got to meet him in Person, but I  communicated with him 
for many years and we were members of some of the same radio clubs going back 
to the Late 70’s and Early 80’s. His accomplishments and writings are Legendary.

I still have an ETON E-100 Slider ULR Radio that he and Steve Ratzlaff 
constructed and sent to me back in the early days of ULR DXing!

Every time I look at it, I think of John……
