[IRCA] Almost back to normal
Hi All: While there are still several thousand people around here who don't have power, AM radio is almost back to normal. WBGS - 1030 popped back on Thursday, WADC - 1050 and WVNT - 1230 on Friday. There's still no sign of WYPC - 1330, Wellston, but that's the area where damage was the worst and they may not see power until Tuesday night. It sounds lke WNXT - 1260, Portsmouth is also still off, though they can be hard to hear during the summer months here. WIOI, 1010, New Boston, does not appear to have been off at all, though all the Portsmouth area FMs were off for awhile. I'm also not sure about WIRO as, with WVNT back on they and WYTS are about even and it's hard to hear WIRO under them even at the best of times. While I have heard of damage to cell phone towers, I think all these outages were relarted to loss of power, not to towers coming down. 73 David ___ 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] Stations still off
Hi All: As of this evening there was still no sign of WBGS - 1030, Point Pleasant, WV, WADC - 1050, Parkersburg, WV, WVNT - 1230 - Parkersburg, WV, and WYPC - 1330 - Wellston, OH. I think WIRO, 1230, Ironton, OH, is also still off as I don't hear them under WYTS, Columbus which, by the way, has never gotten in here so well as it does now. Normally it is about even w/WVNT here, w/WIRO a distant third. The McArthur and Jackson FMs (98.7 and 96.7 respectively) are back on, but no sign of the Wellston 97.7. WMPO - 1390 - Middleport-Pomeroy, OH, was back on Tuesday. WBGS may have had a carrier on this evening. If any of those stations' transmitters are on the wrong side of the kind of mess of trees, utility poles and wires in the woods a mile or so south of us, they might be off for a good while. (Curiously the only three Athens stations that didn't miss a beat in all this were WOUB-FM, and two little guys, WEAK-LP on 106.7 and the K-Love repeater on 90.1.) 73 David ___ 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] WNCO, Blackout
Hi All: When we went to bed last night we could see that the north side of the village had power. Ours popped back on about 12:40 a.m. Sure was good to have air conditioning again, even it meant I had to fight my wife for the covers. There's still a lot of people without power around here, and there's still no sign of the Jackson/Vinton county stations, WYPC, 1330, Wellston, and its covey of FM affiliates, 96.7 in Jackson, 97.7 in Wellston, 98.7 in McArthur. WATH came back Saturday afternoon for a few hours, then again Sunday and now appears to be back on regular 24/7 schedule. Its FM, WXTQ, 105.5, was back by Sunday afternoon. I also noted WNXT, 1260, WMPO, 1390, WLTP, 910, WHNK, 1450, WIRO, 1230, WVNT Parkersburg 1230, WADC, 1050, WBGS-1030 and WLGN-1510 all off as well as the Parkersburg, Point Pleasant, Logan and Portsmouth FMs. The Huntington 930 and 1200 were also off. I've noted 930 back on, bu not 1200. Also last time I checked WEMM-FM, 107.9, was also still off. WAIS, 770, Buchten/Nelsonville and its FM, as well as WJEH, 990, Gallipolis and its FM were the only stations around here to survive the devastation with power and on the air. I didn't have batteries in my Grundig Satelit 800 until Sunday. Did manage one logging, my nearest unheard and much wanted; 1340, WNCO, Ashland, OH, 6/30/12, 0700 EDT on top of mess w/distinct, WNCO, TOH ID, into ABC nx. You'd think this one would be easy w/WOUB being off nightly from midnight to 6 a.m., but no such luck. I've tried many times; finally heard during the big blackout on Saturday morning on the car radio. OH #118 here, and probably last, as my remaining unheards are WCSM, 1350, WCCD, 1000, WASN, 1500, WJMP, 1520, WYCL, 1540, and WABQ, 1460, all of them either too weak to break through the dominant day and night stations on their channels, or beamed the other way. I'll check the dial tomorrow and see who's still off. They're saying Wellston may not have power back until next Tuesday (7/10)! 73 David ___ 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] WLFP - 1550
Hi All: Driving through the Pittsburgh area yesterday I noted no sign of WLFP, 1550, Braddock, PA. However PennDOT was on 1560 w/continuous loop of travvel website info. Still no WZUM-1590, Carnagie. Everything else seemed normal. WLFP was no more than a repeater anyway. I wonder if it's dead and gone for good. 73 David ___ 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] WJYp, 1300, WMON, 1340
Hi All: I forgot to mention in my previous email that, while traveling through West Virginia a couple weeks ago I also noticed, in addition to the change at WBKW, Beckley, that WMON, 1340, Montgomery, was again //WJYP, St. Albans, and no longer // Rock 105. I did not hear an ID from either station, but they were carrying identical religious programs. Such a pairiing makes sense as WJYP is on the northwestern edge of the Charleston metro area (an urban area which follows closely the Kanawha valley, while WMON is just southeast of that metro area. WJYP is a daytime regular here, but with such a poor signal as to only be readable on very cold winter days. All the big Charleston FMs also make it in here, including Rock 105, so I doubt WMON added anything to their coverage or listenership. 73 David in Albany (Athens area) Ohio ___ 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] WBKW-1070
Hi All: I took the time on our most recent trip throgh West Virginia, to make sure WBKW, 1070, Beckley is on. The reason is that they used to get in here with a signal about equal to that of WFNI, but now can't be heard here at all. They are iindeed on. But they are not running EWTN relevant radio, as Barry's list says. Instead they were playing southern gospel and ID'ing as, The Ark. Didn't hear any callsign at all. 73 David ___ 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] Oldies on 1220
Hi All: OK, I'll admit I don't follow every thread that runs on the IRCA list. I do recall seeing several posts about an UnID on 1220, but I didn't read them. Now I have an UnID on 1220 running oldies w/Smokin' Kevin, but no local spots no IDs; just, The best of the `60s, `70s and `80s, and a promo for a party records weekend. Killing WHKW until 2045 EDT, then vanished without a trace. Back after 2115 even stronger, but now weakeening and mostly u/WHKW. No TOH ID @2200, just dead air followed by network jingle. The only oldies station listed on the channel is WGNY, Newburgh, NY. Is it them? Any other suggestions? The lack of any IDs or local spots suggests somebody has changed formats. 73 David ___ 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

Hi All: I've been after WMOX for 8 years now, but always way too much CRFB/WINS. The EWTN on 1460 had faded under a bunch of SS stations by 2100. Last night was really weird here. Had the Memphis 680 all alone on the channel. They are normally a very hard logging here. Has an UnID SS all alone on 1070 w/mx. Only one new logging; 850 WFTL, FL, West Palm Beach 3/11/12, 2252-2301 w/talk, local spots for businesses in Boca Raton Ft.

[IRCA] WIOI-1010
WIOI, 1010, New Boston (Portsmouth) OH back on today with its usual signal format. I have wondered about this one before because there were times, several years back, when I was spending part of my week in Oak Hill, that it had a very weak signal there. I have suspected that, as some automated repeater type stations sometimes have computer foul-ups that cause them to keep their day power turned on late, others may have similar screw-ups that do not restore full day power. WIOI may be such a station. I don't know how any station survives in Portsmouth. The city is blanketed by the Huntington/Ashland FMs, and its population continues to fall. To think, it once had an NFL franchise, the Portsmouth Lions. I guess they were first out of town, leaving for Detroit in 1934. BTW, WMPO, 1390, Middleport-Pomeroy, OH, has, like WATH, 970, Athens, a flea-powered FM twin which, like WATH's, operates on 97.1. Both stations are now mentioning their FM twins in their TOH and other IDs. 73 David ___ 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] WIOI-1010
Hi All: WIOI, 1010, New Boston, Ohio, normally puts enough signal in here that I can identify what they're playing. They carry the same MOYL service as WYPC, 1330, Wellston. Often on winter days they mix with CFRB, though WIOI dominates. Lately I'm hearing a very weak talk station here, which I believe is CFRB. It is not doing well enough to make out any words. Underneath it is what sounds like a very very weak cw or possibly oldies station. I am wondering if WIOI is off, or operating with much reduced power. They don't appear to stream and I don't use facebook. Anybody know anything more? 73 David ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] WEMM-1200
Todd: Far as I know it is the same owner. They were country gospel and WEMM for a time on 1470. They even tried flag-waving patriotism as WRWB for a time. When they were gospel before (on 1470) they were often //WEMM FM, though only when WEMM FM was playing music. It spends most of its time preaching. A couple of other things to note: WVKO, 1580, Columbus, is running some kind of talk format. I heard a clear WVKO ID today @ 1500, but even than early The Big Talker was well atop the channel so I couldn't identify which talk format WVKO is running. WATH, 970, Athens, Ohio, has added a flea-powered FM twin at 97.1. Though it has only 13 watts, its broadcast antenna is mounted up with the WXTQ (Power 105) antenna which, I am told, has the fifth highest origination point in Ohio. It gets in here as well as or better than the other flea powers in Athens. WATH is mentioning the FM frequency in some of their programming, but as yet I have heard no legal IDs giving its call sign. Third, the two stations I reported not hearing on my November trip to SC, the 1500 in Gaffney and the 1530 in Spartanburg, were both on and doing fine over New Year's weekend. However I did not (and have never while passing through there) heard any sign of WBKW, 1070, Beckley. When we first moved here in the mid-90s, they were a daytime regular as WCIR, mixing w/then WIBC. Today WFNI is always alone all day here, and how does anybody manage to operate on 1070 at night in the south given the signal WFNI puts into the Carolinas? WJLS, 560, Beckley is also a daytime regular here. Does anybody know if WBKW is really operating? 73 David --- On Wed, 1/4/12, Todd todftscytj7...@aol.com wrote: From: Todd todftscytj7...@aol.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] WEMM-1200 To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 4:16 AM Hi David, Will they be the same owners as well?

[IRCA] Gabriel Annunciating on NPR
Hi All: Thought that subject line would get your attention. WOSU AM 820, Columbus, is gone, apparently permanently. I noted WVKO 1580 running a continuous loop inviting its listeners to tune to the New permanent home of St. Gabriel Radio, AM 820. The new call on 820, as I heard it, is WVSG and the regular WVKO programming is all there, including the usual EWTN shows and Vatican World News is on 820. There is no indication of what the new programming on 1580 will be, though having recently invested in a power increase w/new transmitter towers, I think it will stay on as something. There do not appear to have been any other changes in Columbus radio, though the 920 is almost never heard here. In other news, after being off all day, WLGN, 1510, Logan, popped on just after 1600 w/its usual oldies format. I have still not heard them carry a local spot since they switched to oldies, though I did hear them running a car spot for a dealer in Middleport, just two and a halr counties and about 55 miles of twisting, hilly roads away, so perhaps WMPO is offering joint buys for both stations. 73 David ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] Gabriel Annunciating on NPR
Rick: I'm not saddened so much by the demise of university AMs as I am by the switch in the formats of so many university FMs. When I moved to this area, as pastor of Alexander Presbyterian Church in rural Athens, our church clerk, an Ohio U. professor, had build herself a very nice house not far from the church. Above the stairs leading up to her bedroom/office she had a full-sized TV antenna hanging and oriented just right so as to pick up WOSU-FM, whose classical format she loved. She also had a pair of Boxe 901 loudspeakers hanging from the cathedral ceiling in her living room. The sound was magnificent and the signal, even at over 70 miles, magnificent. While her death came much too soon for those of us who called her our friend, she would probably have ripped down her antenna when WOSU-FM stopped playing classical music. The demise of university AMs seems to me to suggest that even more of their FMs will carry NPR talk all day. I suppose there are those who view this as a public service, or more of a public service than playing classical music. I would disagree. What it actually does is prevent the creation of a profitable and successful liberal talk commercial media which might be comparablee to what the conservatives already have, while at the same time giiving the conservatives a convvenient target in their campaign against the obvious liberal biases of the government and university establishments. These elites would be better off if they stopped using public funds to defend themselves and let a viable liberal voice, independent of government, make their case for them. Their FMs could then go back to playing good music, or follow the path being blazed by such multiple-outlet stations as WNKY, and become shameless promoters of their universities. 73 David --- On Fri, 12/23/11, Rick Dau drummer1965...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Rick Dau drummer1965...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] Gabriel Annunciating on NPR To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Friday, December 23, 2011, 2:19 AM With the EWTN programming moving down to 820, that should make ID'ing WHLY in South Bend a little easier, as I believe they are now the only station on 1580 running EWTN.

[IRCA] WPAY apparently doesn't
Hi All: I was tuning around the FM dial today and stopped by the old area powerhouse, WPAY, which gets out extremely well. Lo and behold, no more WPAY-FM on 104.1. Though playing cw, they ID'ed as WNKU, and were doing Cincy traffic reports. Their TOH ID listed not only FMs at 89.7, 104.1 and 105.9 (Middletown) but also WPFB AM-910. I used to be able to hear WPFB here when the Marietta 910 was silent during the middle 1990s, then under them when they came back on. But WLTP so dominates the channel now that there's nothing under it. With WPAY-AM in its second lengthy silent period in the past seven years, and the continued decline in the Portsmouth economy, I have to wonder if WPAY AM and FM might be gone for good. That probably also explains the change from rock to cw by the 101.5 Gallipolis FM. WNXT, 1260 in Portsmouth appears to be surviving, but I haven't heard them do any local origiination in a long time.

Re: [IRCA] Another history question
CHLO, CFOR, and apparently even CKLM (all 1570s) all moved to FM. CHLO had better sigs in Port Huron when it ran 1 kw on 680 than it ever did when it ran 10 kw on 1570. CFOR used to be sunset regular in Port Huron. Bruce Heimburger said he used to hear them regularly at LSS when he lived in Anderson, SC. CKLQ, 880, Brandon, MB, which came on back in the 1970s, started out on 1570, then moved to 880 in 1984 or 1985. The Winkler, MB replaced CKLQ on 1570, but then moved to 1530. I am astounded at the number on Canadians that have moved to FM. I know I'd find a lot of cahnnels a lot easier now if I still lived in Port Huron. I wonder if we couldn't persuade CKNX to join them. 73 David --- On Thu, 4/21/11, Mike Sanburn mikesanb...@hotmail.com wrote: From: Mike Sanburn mikesanb...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] Another history question To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Thursday, April 21, 2011, 9:13 AM I figured that was where they ended up.

[IRCA] OOPS!
Hi Again all: Oops. CKMW, Winkler-Morden was on 1530 when it signed on, then moved to 1570 after CKLQ vacated the channel, not the other way around as I had it earlier. Records show I logged 'em on 1530 from Lead, SD on 11/15/89, at 1529 MST, but never logged on 1570 so they most likely moved to 1530 after 1988. I did log CKLQ on both 1570 and 880. 73 David ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] Another history question
CHQT was in the late 1970s. Old IRCAns will recall the Gnus From the Frozen North column that appeared, particularly the one titled, Read it and Cringe in which the CRTC's plans for high powered stations on the prairies first appeared in DXM. That was sometime in 1977. KJJR moved to 880 while I was in Lead, SD between 1984 and 1987. I logged them on RS 9/20/85, at 0620. Curiously, I never did log CHQT out there, though I did try for them. My guess is they protect KRVN and CKLQ, which dominated the channel at night. 73 David David Faulkner, near Athens, Ohio --- On Wed, 4/20/11, Kenneth Nawalkowski kenneth...@mts.net wrote: From: Kenneth Nawalkowski kenneth...@mts.net Subject: [IRCA] Another history question To: IRCA chat irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 12:56 AM Thanks to everyone for the history on moves to 650 Khz. I have another history question. When did the following stations move to 880; KRVN WMEQ KJJR and CHQT? I originally started DXing in the early 70's. My dad used to listen to distant broadcasts like the Grand Ole Opry and that's how I got started. He used a Zenith transoceanic Royal 1000. He bought me a $20 Playmate made in Japan radio after he got tired of me wearing out the batteries in his radio. In spite of being a cheap radio without an RF amplifier like the Zenith has; it actually performed quite well. I frequently received and listened to stations like WBZ, WCBS, WWL, and WSB not to mention others. WCBS was my favorite. I guess it had something to do with New York City. After the radio died in the late 70's I dropped the hobby entirely. I came back to it in January 1991 when I found a GE Superadio II while browsing the electronics section in the Canadian Tire store in Brandon. The words Long Range and High Selectivity on the picture of the dial on the box caught my attention. The big list of specs like 4 tuned IF stages on AM, 8 ferrite rod antenna and tuned RF o! n AM sold me on it and I bought it right there. I unpacked it as soon as I got home, turned it on at 4:45PM that afternoon and was astounded at the sensitivity and selectivity. I have never owned or tried a radio that even came close to the performance of this unit. 5 minutes later I stumbled on WBZ loud and clear and was amazed at the catch considering how cluttered the AM band now was. I always thought that it would be totally impossible to improve the sensitivity of the unit any further, However a few years later I discovered the IRCA and joined. I purchased some literature from the club and Ralph Sanserino's loop was just too tempting not to build and try. I expected it to be a flop, but how wrong I was. It really blew me away as it pulled in stations loud and clear that were totally absent on the Superadio without it even with the volume wide open. It more than doubled the number of station I could pick up during the daytime.

Re: [IRCA] CKNX (UK perspective)
Nope. Always had 1 kw at night. They were alone all day in Port Huron, but I almost never heard them at night, when the channel was dominated by WMMN, w/CKCY and WOKY the most commonly in the mix. I would think they could get 10 kw at night. Look at all the stations on 910, 920, and 930 that aren't there anymore, CBO, CKLY, CKCY, and CKNS. They might not even need to tighten up their actual night pattern much, and instead of interfering with legally operating U.S. stations they could reach more of their natural audience in Canada, and be legal besides! 73 David --- On Mon, 4/18/11, BARRY DAVIES barry.davie...@btopenworld.com wrote: From: BARRY DAVIES barry.davie...@btopenworld.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] CKNX (UK perspective) To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Monday, April 18, 2011, 1:37 PM I just took it that they were OK 10kW full time with such vast areas of Canadian dead AM space!

Re: [IRCA] WNAX's daytime signal
They were a regular in Lead, SD, in the northern Black Hills when I lived there; used a TRF w/a Radio West ferrite bar. Listened to 'em once in awhile because they had great state news coverage. I'd rate them about a 3 in 10. Mixed w/Paducah in Ft. Madison, Iowa, about 40 miles south of Iowa City. Heard 'em once during the day in Paducah null when I lived in Witt, Illinois SE of Springfield, but that was a cold, snowy winter day when I also had KFNW-1200 from West Fargo (had 10 kw ND at the time) in all day.

Re: [IRCA] WSM's nighttime coverage
Yup, it was just after I moved to Lead, SD. My log book, prepared in November, 1984, shows WSM as the only night regular. I logged CKOM for the first time 9/23/85 @1916. I don't have a power listed for them--that's how new they were on the channel. They became, as I said in an earlier post, a night regular mixing w/WSM thereafter. I see that I also logged CISL for the first time that same morning @0651. I believe WKKQ (now WNMT) moved to 650 a couple years before--they used to be on 1060 and they were licensed to Hibbing, even after the move. My Lead book shows I logged them 12/28/84, 1615, but I believe I had heard them while I still lived in Illinois.

[IRCA] WFNY TEST heard
WFNY test heard here with same details as reported by other DXers. Initial code IDs were so weak I couldn't make out a letter at all. Then hrd the initial announcement and a couple tentative IDs. The signal built through Reber Rouser. Reached its strongest during the announcement that folllowed. I heard two clear IDs and the station phone, then into California Dreamin, but fading fast. I didn't hear a trace of Red Rubber Ball, but did catch an SID a bit more talk before they went into, as I recall, Tears on My Pillow, by Little Anthony the Imperials. Sounded very distant throughout the test. I suspect they would never have been heard here on RS, even at sunrise or sunset. New one.

Re: [IRCA] 540 in Canonsburg, PA testing w/OC, sweeps, Spanish programming
Hi All: I'm not looking forward to having this one back. Programming doesn't surprise me. With 21 stations serving the Pittsburgh AM market (one of them, the1510, is off) only one, WEDO-810, carries any SS programming and the last time I was in Pittsburgh that one was SS in the afternoon only. I suspect the delay in getting the format changed is because of the bubblegum in the transmitter. The only 540 in the eastern US I've not logged is WGOP.

They carry sports from 12:06 Saturday morning through 5 a.m. Monday morning except that they run American Gold from 6:06-10:00 a.m. Saturdays.

Re: [IRCA] WCRN-830 after sunset
True, but in SD I logged every station in the state. Of course I only had two local signals, 810, KBHB and 980, KDSJ, and only about 7 other listenable signals on the dial. Even the GY's were interesting out there, with almost everybody from Texas to Alberta and Minnesota to Idaho showing up sooner or later. Even after they all got 1 kw night power they continued showing up from all over, with nthing like the congestion we have aroune here.

Also during the 60s, KGBS-1020 in Los Angeles was a daytimer, but was allowed to operate 9pm to 2 am PST on Sunday nights when KDKA was off for maintenance Before it was granted full time authority, KXL-750 in Portland was allowed to sign on at 6 am with 50 kw all year, since that was well after local sunrise in Atlanta (they had to protect WSB). I think KXA-770 Seattle had a similar deal to protect WABC (but not KOB), allowing them to use full power at 6am signon. Since KXA was only 1 kw, it hardly mattered from a practical standpoint I seem to recall a station in the midwest on 1560 that signed off at Bakersfield sunset I had forgotten about a lot of that. I remember QSLing KXA a bit later on, which still was using 1 KW. One I had forgotten to QSL from years before. I almost lost out on that 1KWer. They were a regular evryday on the OR coast. Not even DX. Fortunately the CE liked reports and I got a quick verie letter on KXA letterhead back. He commented that he liked going to the Ham conventions in Seaside each year! I think within a couple of years the station was sold and they boosted power and changed calls. One of the old 3-call letter ones that almost got away. KTW-1250 did get away as I never got around to sending them a report that I kick myself for. Another one, I had never logged for some reason was WGY 810. I just never caught it in AK or OR. I guess I never tried, as it has turned out to be the easiest NY station to hear these days and I hear it several times a year mixing with KGO during good Eastern cx, but about 15 years ago I finally nabbed and QSL'd them. Near the same time I finally caught WOWO 1190 too. Both nice verie letters. Years earlier I probably would have got a QSL card rather than a letter, but still I am happy to have the QSLs.

Here in Ohio I've logged WKBR-1250 and WGIR-610 as well as WDER-1320. But the best signal I ever heard from NH was when I logged, in Port Huron, the former WHEB-750 blasting in on its late s/off one night when cx to the east were especially good. Too bad they're gone as I suspect they were pretty easy to much of the northeast and north central. 73 David --- On Tue, 12/21/10, Patrick Martin mwd...@webtv.net wrote: From: Patrick Martin mwd...@webtv.net Subject: Re: [IRCA] WASR Wolfesboro NH 1420 test To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Tuesday, December 21, 2010, 10:41 PM Don, I checked my QSLs and I have two from NH, WGIR-610 and WTSN-1270.

[IRCA] 1520
Hi All: Not much DX around here lately. WLGC, 1520, Greenup, KY, is still silent. Noted KOKC on 12/3 between 0915 and 0930 w/good sigs, but not new. Caught a WKVI ID @ 0807 this morning. This is a new one, but such a mess I'm not sure if they were the ones playing Chicago's Right Before My Very Eyes or if they were the one with local news. (WKVI, 1520, Knox, IN, 1800 watts.) Also, on 12/3 I'm certain I heard, after a long sportscst, a talk show that started at 0745 w/the host saying, Good morning, you're on WRSL. They're not on Barry's list, but were on 1520 in Sanford, KY, listed in the 2005 BYB. Are they on or am I just losing it? This is the second time in the past four years that WLGC has had an extended period of silence. I wonder if they will be back. If they couldn't make enough during the recently completed political season to keep it on the air even for a couple weeks 73 David ___ 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] WNBL-1200
Hey All: I was running a quick bandscan this afternoon came across a very good signal on 1200, playing MOYL and ID'ing as, WNBL, Your better life station. 1300 TOH ID as WNBL, Huntington, West Virginia, your better life station Sounds like at least 5 kw and maybe more as it's the best signal I get out of Huntington/Ashland/Ironton. Maybe somebody who can afford 10watts.com can tell us more. Let's see, that gives that economically depressed area (in patrticularly Ashland and Ironton are in real trouble) with 12 AM stations and at least that many FMs. AMs are 800, 930, 1040, (Canonsburg, KY) 1080, 1200, 1230, 1340, 1370, (Grayson, KY) 1420, 1470, 1520 (Greenup, KY) and 1600 (Milton, WV). It already has two sets of twins, 800//1600 and 1230//1420. I can't imagine that more than half of these stations were breaking even before this new s/on. What's keeping so many stations on the air? Hope? Big corporations willing to lost money on some of their properties? Or again,, consider Marietta/Parkersburg: 6 AMs, 630 (St. Mary's), 910, 1050, 1230, 1450, 1490; and at least 11 commercial and four non-commercial FMs. The economy in that part of the valley is better thanks to the chemical iindustry, but still population is down from its post-war highs. How much does it cost to keep a satelite-fed station on the air? And how much does one make? True, only one of those 6 AMs (WMOA, Marietta) does much local origination, and WMOA has two ESPN affiliates (630, WJAW and 100.9, Mc Connellsville) and two of the FMs (95.1 and 99.1--the two most powerful) have local DJs, but still..

Re: [IRCA] WNBL-1200
Thanks, Russ, This one ought to be an easy catch for people all over the region. They were weaker before 1715, but still here, then sank to nothing at 1715, so I suppose they are using their night allocation and not signing off. It sure is an upgrade. They were the weakest of the Huntington/Ashland 5 kw stations here, and never were much of a problem on 1470. WNYY used to kill `em well before sunset.

[IRCA] ESPN 1060?
Hi All: Noted somebody on 1060 this morning (10/20) carrying ESPN (Mike and Mike) mixing w/several others. Barry's list shows no ESPN stations on 1060. A check of the internet reveals ESPN 1060 in Russell Springs, KY. This would have to be Jamestown, a suburb (?) of Russell Springs, but the list says they are cw and the Google link took me nowhere.

Re: [IRCA] Help! unID 1100 Rel / OTR station Friday night u/WTAM
David: If I had to guess I'd say KKLL (if it was rel.) as they are basically a repeater w/a satelite feed. They often do multi-station IDs on the hour and that could explain the tones. 73 David --- On Tue, 10/19/10, HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS david.hasc...@dfas.mil wrote: From: HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS david.hasc...@dfas.mil Subject: [IRCA] Help! unID 1100 Rel / OTR station Friday night u/WTAM To: a...@lists.wtfda.info, irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 3:02 PM Heard this intriguing unID on 1100, almost all of Friday evening. Under WTAM, and briefly equal at times, was what sounded like an Old Time Radio program or REL drama. At the end of the program (2158 ET) was a PO Box (237?) address in Portland , Oregon and what sounded like a husband and wife's name and lots of old time radio mentions. No ID but some tones at the TOH. Maybe a daytimer stuck on with generic automation? Any way at the 2300 TOH a program that just ended sounded like The Lost Show (?) with Doctor Lauren Jones (?). More beeping tones at that TOH and at 2400 but still either could not catch an ID or it faded down - AND WTAM was strong 90% of the time. Anyone else hear this? 1100 unID 10-15 2200 (ET) OTR or REL drama program. Ended at 2200 but no ID could be heard or none was given. 2300 end of REL show The Lost Show (?) with Doctor Lauren Jones (?). u/WTAM rising to readable on peaks.

Re: [IRCA] WANS-1280
Still here loud clear @2200, but this time, You're listening to the Dennis
Miller show on we {click} {pause} AM 1280, WANS, Anderson, and, again, into
SRN nx. The only station I get with any consistency on 1280 at night is WONW,
Defiance, but they're so far down tonight as to be almost inaudible under WANS.
When I used to hear WANS in the mid-2000s they had a kind of urban AC format
that seemed targetted at the whole region, particularly I recall them
mentioning Greenville a lot. I was rather surprised at this format because
I've been to Anderson (brh--remember him from his many years as EDXF
editor--used to live there I visited him there. Seemed more a small city
than an urban area. WANS was a rocker back then, and I recall brh asking me if
I'd noticed their incredible fidelity for an AM station (I had). I don't know
what they were doing but they sounded almost as good as an FM.

[IRCA] WATH 970 on Day Power
Hi All: WATH, 970, Athens is running day power because of the weather emergency. Several buildings trailers in and around Athens were destroyed by apparent tornadoes. Station owner Dave Palmer is hosting/running the board. Format right now is announcements interspersed with oldies. I doubt they get very far with all the competition. They also seem to have much better groundwave than skywave propagation. Still, some of you might be able to pull them out. Given the number of emergency vehicles coming in to bring support to the locals from other counties, the emergency could last for awhile. The storms are all east of us now. The hardest hit area appears to be The Plains, a village across the ridge from Athens. 73 David ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] License of CHSC-1220 St Catharines ON NOT renewed by CRTC, will go silent
Hi All: If you've ever been on or near the Niagara peninsula, you will know that it has no shortage off strong AM and FM signals. All the Toronto stations roar into St. Catherines, as do most of the Buffalo, all three Niagara Falls outlets and all three from Hamilton. Then, of course, there's the 610 St. Catherines. I only heard CHSC once, that in Port Huron about 40 years ago when WGAR was off. At that timee CHSC was running 1 kw-D, 250 w-N, and also had different day and night patterns. Otherwise they couldn't touch WGAR, even at sunset. Further, I would hardly call places like St. Catherines, Peterburough, and Kingston, all of which have seen reduced .AM service rural. As someone noted, FM's are cheaper to operate. They are also subject to less restriction under the Canadian content regulations and because the Canadian population is spread over a wide area, FM frequencies (except in the cities) tend to be more available than in most places in the U.S. 73 David --- On Sat, 7/31/10, Mike Hawkins michael.d.hawk...@gmail.com wrote: From: Mike Hawkins michael.d.hawk...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] License of CHSC-1220 St Catharines ON NOT renewed by CRTC, will go silent To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Saturday, July 31, 2010, 3:59 AM I have only heard them once, and that was 40 years ago.

There is no way that all populated areas of the country can be served by FM only, and I really wonder why they are shutting down AM broadcasting piece by piece. This move has nothing to do with the national AM-to-FM shift in Canada. CHSC had been a thorn in the CRTC's side for years now, violating just about every rule there was to violate: it moved its studio from St. Catharines to the Toronto suburbs without permission, it replaced English-language programming with Italian shows in violation of the terms of its license, and it failed to comply with most of the other requirements Canadian broadcasters have to meet, including maintaining logger tapes.

This move has nothing to do with the national AM-to-FM shift in Canada. CHSC had been a thorn in the CRTC's side for years now, violating just about every rule there was to violate: it moved its studio from St. Catharines to the Toronto suburbs without permission, it replaced English-language programming with Italian shows in violation of the terms of its license, and it failed to comply with most of the other requirements Canadian broadcasters have to meet, including maintaining logger tapes.

Re: [IRCA] What is going on with WVMC Mount Carmel IL? Correction
We were too far north to hear WVMC when we blew through there two weeks ago. All I noted was the Watseka that used to dominate the channel when I lived down that way. I have several hundred pages that I copied several years ago from the BYB (2003/04). They show that Wabash paid $85,000 for WVMC in 2000. Selling it for $36,000 is quite a loss. In that area, with its low population and given the limited coverage the station must have, plus its nonexistant prospects of increasing its power, keeping it on as a twin for the FM (which probably competes in the Evansville market) is probably the only way to keep it on at all. (Withers must have bought the FM from clear channel after 2004). 73 David --- On Wed, 5/26/10, Paul B. Walker, Jr. walkerbroadcast...@gmail.com wrote: From: Paul B.

So it would appear to be a shift to conservative talk perhaps to many of the shows not currently carried by WKRC-550. 73 David ___ 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
