[IRCA] Short antenna radials
I happened to be looking at a Google earth view of the KFI transmitting site (33° 52' 47" N, 118°00' 47" W) which is located smack in the middle of a commercial/industrial area. I was struck by what a small diameter clear area there is around the base of the antenna; maybe 150 feet. Just curious how the resulting short radials could really offer much efficiency? Updates to my understanding of the situation would be welcomed. :-) Bob Coomler Tucson, AZ ___ 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] KCKM test
Oh geez. Of all the stations in the Tucson area, KWFM 1330 is my closest at about 3 miles. Not sure I can take anything to the bank, but I heard definite sweep tones at 0516 UTC and definite but unreadable code at 0524 (followed by sweep tones). Does this fit into what others might have heard? Threw everything I had at it, but the best null (such as it wasn't) was with my Tecsun PL-310 ULR. Thanks to Bob, Paul and anyone else involved.

[IRCA] KCKM snatched from the mouth of the dragon
I tried posting twice last night, but apparently they got lost betwixt and between. This was a toughie, but old age, treachery and dumb luck prevailed. Of all Tucson stations, KWFM 1330 is the closest to me at about three miles. Nothing at all until 0516 UTC when definite sweep tones were heard. Next heard was code (couldn't copy but a few letters) at 0524 followed by more sweep tones. All of these are consistent with what I've seen posted this morning. I threw everything I had at it, but my Tecsun PL-310 was the only one that produced results. I don't mind digging and scratching for a new one, but the worst part was having to listen to KWFM's horrid 80's Rock programming. Many thanks to Bob and Paul for making this test happen!

[IRCA] KCKM and KWFM ... the epilogue
Several days after the KCKM test, KWFM here in Tucson has apparently gone silent. Nice timing guys. Major jumble on 1330 tonight; SS which I assume is KWKW, a talker and bits of C&W which isn't matching KCKM's online streaming. Will keep trying to extract some ID's. Big question though; who had the Star Spangled Banner at 0402 UTC?

"Star 1330" as before with their quasi-1980's hits programming. I've been listening for an hour and still haven't heard anything I recognized. An awful playlist.

Re: [IRCA] KWFM 1330 Tucson back on
Steve, the KWFM office (if they have a studio, it is probably a microphone and a box in a closet) is at St. Phillip's Plaza at Campbell Avenue and River Road. The transmitter site is in NE Tucson just southeasterly of the Ventana Canyon resort area. Punch 32.314N, 110.838W into Google Earth. I am 3.3 miles due south. I used to listen to KFAT during my college years and always looked forward to going to Hawaii for Radio Free Hawaii (FM I believe) sometime after that.

[IRCA] Replacing a Grundig G5
Although I don't do any really serious DXing while traveling, I do like to give it a bit of a go. I've been using a barefoot Grundig G5 and it has provided the basic performance I've wanted, but I've gone through three incarnations of them and enough is enough. The last one is now in a landfill somewhere on Prince Edward Island, Canada. My prime interests are LW, MW and SW with FM being nice, but not critical. The G5 was a good size, but I can go a bit larger with no problems. Willing to pay for quality. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [IRCA] (OT) Is my only option to junk this old radio?
Dave, I salvaged several old radios from my late in-laws. After I dithered for awhile, I put them up on ebay with decent results. The best price came from one that had the chassis transplanted to a "lovingly home done" cabinet (it was uglee!).

[IRCA] KHJ -was Call letter meanings - 75 years ago
KHJ's tower site was about a mile from where I grew up in Los Angeles. In those days, it had an on-site engineer to babysit the transmitting machinery. I'd drop by every once in a while to say hi and we would end up talking for hours. He gave me two pieces of advice that have served me well for years and years: 1) Pick a job like you would a wife. Don't be swayed by glamor, but something you can enjoy waking up to every morning. 2) Don't be overwhelmed by the complexity of something (while looking at the wonderful old KHJ transmitter). Take it component by component and pretty soon the pieces will all fit together for you. Neat old guy.

Re: [IRCA] Just out of the hospital!
Don, glad you are feeling and doing much better. It may very well be that doing without hospital food was a major assist in your healing! Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery.

To: "a...@yahoogroups.com" , "IRCA E-Mail List" Date: Thursday, April 7, 2011, 10:00 PM Greetings everyone. Just wanted to inform all that I came back home yesterday afternoon after a 6 day stay at Kaiser Hospital here in S.F. Had an attack late thursday evening with severe pain in the lower abdomen. Went to Emergency. CT Scan showed a small perforation in the colon. Deverticulitis, or some such. Spent next 3 days/nights on IV's with no food or water. Docs saw I was making progress, pain was minimizing so put off surgery in hopes hole will heal itself. I dunno about healing itself in a 77 year old man but I'd bet on the alternative that the many, many, many prayers of my family & friends reached the Good Lord and the Almighty Physician caused the healing. Amen! At any rate I'm home now, feeling a LOT better, sleeping for a change (sleep does not come easy in a hospital for any of the patients) and continuing to heal. Thanks to all of you on these lists that have offered the hand of friendship over the years. Please continue. Hope to have my 'continuing with dx' column up tomorrow.

Re: [IRCA] 30 ... or more ... years of skywave DXing
Great thread. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and my brother (7 years my senior) was an active ham in high school in the late 50's and had naturally hooked me into SWLing. One day he mentioned that "broadcast band" (haven't used that term for a long time) stations also had QSL cards. Fortunately, he had a Hallicrafters S-76 which made DXing a lot easier. I don't recall what my first BCB QSL was, but I was off and running. I was already a NNRC member, but soon joined the National Radio Club and was, eventually, an IRCA founding member after attending the infamous Denver convention. Still remember corresponding and running around with Frank Williams, Larry Schwartz, Tom Seaver, and Randy Seaver. My best DX was, and probably still is, 500 watt WMHI-1370 in Braddock Heights, MD. The radio influence was so pervasive that I seriously considered a career in broadcasting. Carl Mann and Glen Kippel had some serious talks with me and that was that. Geez, really miss shortwave interval signals and Monday morning frequency checks on "the broadcast band".

Re: [IRCA] KRSN 1490 DX Test
Talk about pulling teeth. Local KFFN, 5.3 miles away, made it just a week bit difficult! The tightest null I could get was almost north-south which was about 45 degrees from ideal. This was with my ULR Tecsun PL-310. I did hear high pitched sweep tones, phone off the hook tone and code that was only semi-audible until the very end and even then didn't get much copy. From what I assume was the closing announcement, several mentions of Los Alamos, New Mexico were noted. So ... it's going in the log with thanks to all responsible. Also had a Fox News station fade up to a respectable level, but no ID. Given the direction and programming, assume this was KYCA, but it won't go in the log.

[IRCA] Excel problem - sorta radio related
Hi all, My "all time" log is kept in Excel (well, all my logs are). I recently did a data sort and neglected to check the "my list has a header row" and then did a save. And that means I can't undo, redo, etc. So now my header row (station, date, etc) is wandering around with all the other reception information. Is there any way to restore this or otherwise recreate the header without causing additional problems? I know this isn't a burning question for everyone else on the list, so please reply directly. Thanks for any assistance!

[IRCA] Excel problem ... solved
Many, many thanks to all (and there was a bunch) who responded with offers of help and suggestions. The consensus was to insert a blank row above the data, copy and paste the header row there, delete the misplaced header row and THEN save. Worked like a charm. Thanks again guys.

They used to be a rare catch, but not anymore... now that CHRB seems to have tightened up their night pattern and are much weaker than they used to be out here in the east, it looks like CKMX has stepped up to replace them as the easiest AB to hear!

Re: [IRCA] What's your closest unheard AM station?
Well, almost 55 miles: KDAC 1230 Fort Bragg, CA. at 60 miles. I've lived here almost 11 years and through all hours of the day, all seasons and a variety of receivers and antennas, I haven't even been teased. Granted, its a unique combination of distance and terrain, but you would think the law of averages would at least toss me a crumb.

Re: [IRCA] What's your closest unheard AM station?
Hi Don, You are probably just far enough away from Fort Bragg to get some skip. I'm too close and the Coast Range creates blockage as the signal leaves there and then (theoretically) comes here. I understand they are Spanish // KUKI 1400 in Ukiah. Bob Coomler Cloverdale, CA --- On Fri, 1/30/09, Donald K. Kaskey wrote: > From: Donald K.

[IRCA] KDAC 1230 is alive and well
Being a bachelor for a long weekend, I hit the road today to see if I could get any definition on my problem with my closest un-heard, KDAC 1230 in Fort Bragg, CA. Being that they were on the way, I also made stops at KUKI 1400 Ukiah, KLLK 1250 Willits and KPMO 1300 Mendocino. KUKI is an un-interesting installation in an un-interesting town (a van parked out in front of the studio still had "Country KUKI" markings - they've been SS how long?). The KLLK site is three unlit and unpainted towers (I didn't realize that was legal) slightly east of town. No studio. KPMO is in the hills NE of the town of Mendocino with a single tower. It may have been a studio at one time, but it is unmanned and the building and site are rather seedy. As Patrick has mentioned, the KDAC building is a Classic Radio Station. Not a KFI or WLW classic, but proportionally so for a small town graveyarder. The site is not staffed. The tower was the tallest I've ever seen for a GY station. Some time in the recent past, there was a discussion here about tower height and how it relates to groundwave and skywave, but I can't locate it. Based on what I saw today, I'm wondering if the taller sticks don't indeed favor groundwave (I should know better, but it escapes me)? Google Earth and my own "perceptions" aside, there was no immediate horizon blockage. As I drove south, it didn't take long for KDAC's signal to tank. BTW, Fort Bragg is a neat coastal town. I'll be back. I have pictures of all four stations. If anyone is interested, let me know.

[IRCA] Relighting the fire
Because of generally blah propagation and family health matters that have required major attention lately, I haven't exactly been Mr. Mediumwave. The TA blast of several weeks ago and my coastal trip last week did add some fuel, but dusting off the Sony SRF-59 this evening was definitely gasoline on the fire. I needed an AM radio right after I got home from work to see if KGO was aware of a major traffic accident visible from my house. The only thing quickly available was the infamous Sony ultralight. The first thing I heard after turning it on (amazed the batteries still even worked) was a clear ID and fishing program from KMCL-1240 in Donnelly, ID. I hadn't even heard them when I lived in eastern Washington. I'm ready to play again.

Re: [IRCA] Vintage receiving station with loops
Dennis and all, it is Skaggs Island and is actually closer to the Sonoma/Solano county line. Have a look here: http://www.navycthistory.com/skaggs_decom_book.html If you go to the home page for this site and wander around a bit, you will find additional routes to go for Skaggs Island information and pictures (among many other locations). It is an interesting site. On Google Earth, punch in 38.189188N, 122.39592W. This shows the water tower that is very visible from Highway 37 and what I believe is the last remaining building (also visible from the highway).

[IRCA] Few goodies for sale
GE Superradio II (7-2885F). Insignificant wear marks. Antenna and tuning mechanism are nice and solid. K9AY (Steve Ratzlaff version) exterior antenna termination unit and interior control unit. You'll need center support, loop wire, 4-conductor control cable and coax. Used, with pleasing results. Includes Steve's hookup and use notes. Radio Database International books. Tropical Band edition (1984) and full shortwave edition (1986). These were the first edition predecessors to Passport to World Band Radio. All are "make offer". Granted, pretty chicken, but not otherwise sure how to price these. If you buy our house in Cloverdale so we can expedite our move to Tucson, I'll include all of the above n/c.

[IRCA] Computer clock
This is a little late for the annual UTC/EST/EDST debate, but still a useful toy. Qlock has a downloadable program for displaying individual or multiple clocks with time throughout the world along with sticky notes, alarms, exchange rates, etc. The clock display size is changeable and other than than being synced from a common source, the clocks are independent of each other. They can be in 12 or 24 hour format and can show time, day and date and will recognize DST (or not if you choose). I currently have three (local, UTC and a varying location) tucked into the upper right hand corner of my display without interfering with whatever else I'm looking at. There is a bare bones free version, the most useful $14.95 version and a too expensive $89.95 version.

[IRCA] Hi, I'm Bob and I bought a SRF-59
I was fortunate enough to get a gift certificate for Amazon this Christmas and I couldn't resist and purchased a SRF-59 which came today. I put the battery in and turned it on while fixing dinner. Just turning it on with no tuning at all, the first thing I hear is KGA in Spokane. We're not talking rare DX here, but listening to an AM station almost 700 miles distant with a solid signal in a RFI minefield of a kitchen is not something I normally do. More to follow ...
