[IRCA] FCC Enforcement Letters
Although this happened to an FM station, it very well could have been a MW station. From www.qrz.com 73 from Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI ENFORCEMENT: PROPOSED $4000 FOR CONTEST RULES VIOLATION Hams are not the only ones hearing from the FCC enforcement folks in recent days. The agency has issued a $4000 Notice of Apparent Liability for Monetary Forfeiture to Saga Communications of New England, L.L.C. licensee of Station WAQY-FM in Springfield, Massachusetts. The proposed fine comes as a result of the stations failure to fully and accurately disclose the material terms of the contest and conduct the contest substantially as announced or advertised. Bruce Tennent, K6PZW, reports: -- The proposed fine is the result of a complaint from Robert Naginewicz alleging that Saga failed to conduct its contest involving the musical group Aerosmith, which was broadcast by the station during the June through July 2005 period. According to Naginewicz, on July 17, 2005, he won the contest's "Grand Prize Giveaway," the prizes for which included a free two-year lease on a 2005 Buick LaCrosse automobile, or its cash equivalent, from the co-sponsor, Bob Pion Pontiac. Also, the cars trunk was supposed to be loaded full of Aerosmith memorabilia. Naginewicz alleges that although he was assured by the station's staff that all of his prizes would be delivered to him by July 22, 2005, he did not receive the monetary portion until August 18, 2005. Also, despite numerous queries made of the station's staff, as of December 31, 2005 he was still awaiting delivery of the memorabilia portion. Following up on the Naginewicz complaint, the Enforcement Bureau by letter dated January 24, 2006, inquired of Saga concerning these allegations. Saga responded on March 2, 2006. It contended that its one-month delay in delivering the monetary portion of the prize, although less than ideal, was "within the zone of reasonableness." It acknowledged, however, that its failure to fulfill the memorabilia portion until after Mr. Naginewicz had contacted the Commission, represents a station "problem" that it claims it has since addressed and resolved. Saga indicated that, because of its delay in fulfilling its promise to Mr. Naginewicz, it enhanced the award made to him by contributing additional prizes. But the FCC says that under Section 73.1216 of its rules, a broadcast licensee must conduct station-sponsored contests "substantially as announced or advertised. Also that it must disclose fully and accurately the "material terms" of such contests. And the FCC says that it appears that Saga violated Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules by failing to conduct the contest substantially as announced. Therefore the proposed $4000 fine.

Re: [IRCA] Minneapolis St. Paul recent events
Thank you David and Bruce, I probably heard both KDWB & KRSI - I was only 15 then and very much into Top 40 Radio then. But it's funny that KSTP is the only one I remember. WCCO doesn't count as they were a clear channel station and easily heard in Michigan. And funny you should mention Hubert Humphrey.

[IRCA] Minneapolis St. Paul recent events
Hi everyone, In 1967, I went with my parents and one of brothers to a business convention in the Twin Cities, and stayed at a hotel in the downtown area. Since we crossed the Mississippi on I-94 going from St. Paul into Minneapolis, as well as taking a drive around in the St. Paul area on one of the afternoons off and seeing many of the local sites, I probably saw the I-35W bridge although it may well have still been under construction at the time. I sure do feel for all of the deceased as well as the injured. But on the DX aspect, the only radio station that I remember from my 2-3 days there was KSTP 1500. My question is, does anyone out there remember what their format was in 1967??? I'm thinking it was a Top 40 format station, but after 40 years Thanks in advance and 73 Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI Be a better Globetrotter. Get better travel answers from someone who knows. Yahoo!

Re: [IRCA] the passing of Pete Wilson
Thx Chris and the group, I appreciate the clarification as well. I was out in Seattle Washington and Orange County California in 2003 and listened to KGO at night, but Bill Westenhaver (sp???) is the only announcer that I remember listening to on KGO. And as long as we're talking KGO, I believe this was the station that WJR's J. P. McCarthy worked at in the late 1950's, in between his two gigs at WJR. Of course the second gig lasted for almost 35 years until his death in 1995. 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI --- chris and anne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don, Thanks for clarifying this for us eastcoasters. > And hi to KGO radio's > Gene BurnsI listened to him on WKIS in Orlando > years ago.pompous but > eloquentwith a terrific command of the language. > And a Libertarianas > am I and some others on these pages. 73, Chris > K4NHL > - Original Message - > From: "The Kaskey Family" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club > of America" > > Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 2:08 PM > Subject: Re: [IRCA] the passing of Pete Wilson > > > > Marty, > > > > I can't answer your question as I watch little TV. > Sports events, > > Jeopardy & a couple children's shows when the > grandchildren are here.

Re: [IRCA] Part 15: an explanation (and loopholes?)
Mr. Taylor, I agree with you. It's my understanding though that the 100 mw is measured at a distance of 30 meters from the antenna. Depending on the loss of signal strength, output power at the antenna can be compensated. On a side note, I know of a ham operator within 200-400 miles of me who took an old CB radio, converted it to transmit on ten meters, and uses it for a CW beacon with one watt of power. How far does the signal go? I heard it from my home 73 de Joe (AB8YP) --- Charles A Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 03:18 AM 7/19/2007 -0400, you wrote: > >If it's Part 15, it's limited to 100MW ERP from > each transmitter into a 3 > >meter antenna.. otherwise it isn't legal. > > > Paul, > > What Part 15 says is that the D-C input into the > final shall not exceed > 100 mW*, not 100 mW ERP.

Re: [IRCA] KXTO Test
Phil, In my ever so humble opinion, I think you might very well have heard KXTO. The QRSS signal was indeed Morse Code but slowed down to where the dits were 10 seconds long, and the dahs were 30 seconds. If the "buzz" is at audio 2500 Hertz, and since you were pointing in that direction. I know, this test was different, as the normal audio may not have come through. If in doubt, I would suggest sending the MP3 to Less anyway.

Re: [IRCA] IBB Delano and Greenville
Thank you for taking the lead on this Dan. You are absolutely correcto-mundo about the HF skip zones. Add to that the ability of major shortwave broadcasters to beam their transmissions in a fairly narrow pattern, and voila, VOA Delano should be heard very well in Cuba. Lest we not forget that many VOA/RM broadcasts are jammed, as well as propagation conditions changing daily, it is important to transmit from different locations, at different frequencies, and at different times in order to get through.

[IRCA] WJR
Hello everybody, Checked WJR again tonight, and no signs of IBOC. WABC 770 was coming in quite well. WSB 750 is still a little mystery. No whistle tonight like last time, but still a strange sounding QRM. Tried both LSB and USB and although their carrier is present, just no or very weak audio. This is very unusual for them considering that sometimes I have even heard them by groundwave during the daytime at a distance of about 750 miles. 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI P.S. no more reports from me on this unless something changes.

[IRCA] WJR 760 IBOC progress report
Hello Scott, Patrick, and the group, Sadly, I was tired after painting all day yesterday, and was unable to hear WJR with IBOC at night. I did try tonight with three different radios on Sunday evening and here is what I heard: RCA RCD180 (a CD boombox with a surprisingly good AM tuner) 740 CHWO - fairly strong signal, listenable quality 750 QRM from undetermined source 760 WJR - good but noisy signal for 50kW at 35 mls 770 WABC - good signal, quite audible 780 WBBM - good signal, quite audible Grundig Satellit 800 Millenium Virtually same results as the RCA RCD180 Sony ICF-2010 with Radio Shack loop antenna 740 CHWO - strong signal, very listenable quality 750 WSB - heard stn ID but with QRM from undetermined source at about 752 kHz whistle like sound 760 WJR - what you would expect for 50kW at 35 mls 770 WABC - very good signal, quite audible 780 WBBM - very good signal, quite audible Will continue to monitor this in the days ahead. 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI TV dinner still cooling?

[IRCA] Open question
I love DXing as much as anyone on this list. LW, MW, SW, VHF, UHF, all of it. But my question is, does IRCA have an amateur radio e-mail list? And if not, is there any interest in starting one? The ARRL is very good, but not conducive to a round table discussion. QRZ.com is very round table, but the discussion often strays away from the subject matter. In short, my thoughts are simple. The hams can talk about amateur radio without going off-topic and subsequently boring the non-hams. Is there any interest in this? I would be interested in hearing what others think. 73 and best wishes to all. Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo!

Re: [IRCA] Powell the (non) pirate
Mike, > Field strength measured in V/m vs. distance from the > radiator is a > straight inverse, rather than an inverse square, > isn't it? Yep, you are right. When field strength is measured in mv's per square meter, then it is the INVERSE square law. If mv's are measured per meter, then it is just the inverse reduction (straight line as us accountants would say). As I am thinking about all of this, I believe the inverse square law would apply to isotropic radiators, the so-called 'perfect antenna' that transmits evenly in all directions. But in the real world, almost all antennas have some sort of pattern (usually flat and to a degree circular) and it is in this instance that that the inverse reduction would occur. Idon't have the meausrement tools, but I would guess that for 100 mv at 30 meters would be roughly 1 watt at the source. Thank you for challenging me on this one, there are always new concepts to learn with radios. 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI Looking for earth-friendly autos?

Hi Charles > I think you can legally do 100 mW at 1720 kHz. > > Anyone know anything contradicting that statement? http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/13nov20061500/edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2006/octqtr/47cfr15.223.htm Section 15.223 (link is above) says "The field strength of any emission within the band 1.705-10.0 MHz shall not exceed 100 microvolts/meter at a distance of 30 meters". There are some exceptions, of course.

After skimming over the article on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp CFLs do use mercury. I guess the trade-off is between longer life and less power usage versus less complicated manufacturing process, lack of RFI, lack of Mercury, lesser cost. Count me in with incandescent users.

Well said, Patrick.

[IRCA] Kenwood Purported to Merge with JVC in 2008
==> Kenwood Purported to Merge with JVC in 2008 A consumer electronic magazine, This Week in Consumer Electronics (TWICE), reports that Kenwood has agreed to merge in 2008 with Victor Company of Japan (JVC) under a holding company. JVC is owned by Matsushita Electric Industrial Company. Japan's Nikkei business newspaper reports that the final details should be worked out by the end of the month, and that under the plan, Kenwood will buy 20 billion yen($161,469,466) in JVC shares as early as this summer, raising its stake to 13 percent. Matsushita will also sell part of its 52.7 percent of JVC to Kenwood's top shareholder, the Sparx Group. When JVC and Kenwood integrate operations under the holding company in 2008, Matsushita will sell the rest of its JVC shares to the holding company to complete the transaction. The holding company's stock will be listed instead of Kenwood and JVC, according to Nikkei. Combined, Kenwood's and JVC's sales are $7.3 billion dollars annually for their fiscal year that ended March 31. Source: ARRL weekly newsletter Looking for earth-friendly autos?

[IRCA] CHWO off air
--- Brian Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > CHWO - AM 740 will be off the air from midnight > until 4:00 AM EDT. Wednesday, June 27, 2007. I managed to stay awake for this planned shutdown this morning. At 2 or 3 minutes before midnight, CHWO announced the outage scheduled between 12:00 and 4:00 am. Yet the music continued along with station ID's until 12:30 when the signal abruptly ended. Although three or perhaps four stations could be heard, at best I could only get snippets of each. To the south was a talker that sounded like Savage Nation discussing immigration reform. To the southeast was Spanish speaking station and in the jumble, all that I could make out was "este es...". To the west was a station playing music. Many of the songs could not be identified, they did play Billy Joel's "Piano Man" at 01:15 EDT. The possibly fourth station in the mix was what sounded like country music. Even though I did not have luck identifying these new stations, I would like to thank Brian Smith for giving us the opportunity. About 6 or 7 years ago when CBL shut down and before CHWO started broadcasting, I did manage to hear the station in Humboldt Tennessee (WIRJ???), but I see they are now listed 16 nighttime watts. 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, Michigan ___ You snooze, you lose.

[IRCA] WQSN 1660 Kalamazoo
Someone raised the question of a minor league baseball game heard on 1660 kHz, and several possibilties were mentioned. I just did a little web browsing, and although WQSN in Kalamazoo Michigan is an ESPN sports format station, a visit at www.wqsn.com will show the only minor league games that they carry are for the Kalamazoo Kings of the Frontier Baseball League. If they carry ESPN coverage of minor league games on completion of the local game, I did not see it on their website. P.S. This station is only 150 miles from my house, but it is one of 4 or 5 stations that is semi-regularly heard. Hope this helps 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI Ready for the edge of your seat?

[IRCA] Logging
Last night was rather strange in that there was virtually no DX, no shortwave, no pirates, no amateurs, no FM (tropo is somewhat common in the Great Lakes), and the MW band was full of noise. With said, I did hear: WKYO, 1360, Caro, Mich. 0130(UTC) 6/23/07. Country music including the classic "Put another log on the fire", local ads abd station ID at TOH. Not new but rare. Unid. 1060, 0155-0200(UTC) 6/23/07. Talk format station heard under KYW when loop antenna was pointing due west.

By observation only, it appears to me that WJR in particular is feeding more of their nighttime transmissions into skywave than groundwave. For years, I can drive two hours out of town in any direction and their signal becomes quite unusable. Yet driving back from my father-in-law's funeral in Denver, we had a nice WJR signal to hear halfway across Nebraska. So I'm thinking if the conditions are right, their first skip lands in the Atlantic Ocean, then the salt water propagation takes over, I can see it being done. Funny back in the 1960's, WJR used to read letters received from out of state listeners (Texas was very common), but never recall them reading letters from Bermuda. Thank you for the info. P.S. If this isn't what you meant, I apologize. This is the first time I've heard this idea. P.P.S. 15 meter band was open yesterday afternoon.

Re: [IRCA] Re IRCA 38-54-3 German?
Hi Maria, That is very interesting. 3 of my grandparents grew up in the U.S. (Michigan & Pennsylvania) but spoke German within the household. But all of their parents insisted that the children must learn English in school. I sometimes feel that I am Dutch by assimulation as there are a large number of both Germans and Dutch here in Michigan, particularly on the west side of the state. Listening to shortwave radio for 40 years, I can listen to Dutch or German language programs and generally understand the content, but I get in trouble if I am asked to speak in either language. I am very happy to see you on our list, and I wish you the best. P.S. Our family name actually was Müller but in the mittelfrankendeutsch dialect, it was pronounced Miller so we went with pronunciation instead of written. 73 Joe Miller --- robert Pietsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Joe > Bob might have been able to translate the German if > he was still with > us. 3 of his grandparents immigrated > from Germany.

Hi Patrick I don't have the space to install any beverage antennas and have next to no experience with them other that through study materials.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI-1600's Underwhelming Signal
To Patrick, Chuck, Paul, and the group Even though I am a Midwesterner with next to no chance of ever logging KOHI from home, nor from Seattle during my stay there for a few days in 2003, I still read each and every e-mail with great interest. Setting up my amateur radio station during the last few weeks has taught me a lot about soil conditions, propagation, antennas, radials, test equipment, etc. There have been a couple of times where I have had to explain exactly how I picked up a distant signal in order to get a verification from the Chief Engineer. Granted not everyone on this list is ham, but I still think it's in everyone's best interest to learn as much as possible to make the most out of this hobby. Thx for taking the time to read my 2 cents worth. 73, Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI > I hear you. If we want more interesting e mails, we > have to post them. > More variety is the spice of life.

Re: [IRCA] OT, First ever QSO
Bob, Bert, Chris, and the group I had a nice opening on 15 meters this afternoon, and QSOed with stations in Massachusetts, Alabama, and some guy named Chris in Taylors SC. All three were made using 100 watts, SSB, with a portable stick antenna with radials and were reported at S-7. Hopefully, now that we are getting this out of the way, we can do the IRCA Net as we've been discussing.

Re: [IRCA] Some real live amateur radio clubs
To Bob, Bert & the group,
Just last night night, I got my 15 meter stick antenna
with radials tuned up and running. I still have 40 and
20 meter antenna issues, but hopfully before too long.
So when you're ready to do this, please count me in.
And I even have a QSL card made up...

PLEASE read the [IRCA] mailing list guidelines at http://www.ircaonline.org/guidelines.htm There's a pair of TIS/HARs at the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. One of the bridge transmits at 530, the other end at 1610. Obviously not syncronized, but they are parallels.

The > Sony 2010 is not good for any sort of FM dxng IMHO. I have no experience with Eton E1, but after having both the ICF-2010 and Grundig Satellit 800, I agree especially on FM performance. I have 160 stations logged with the Grundig as the whip antenna is quite directional. The Sony is not as senstive, but also generates a signal at 21.4 MHz below the main signal which can be heard in the Japanese FM part of the band. On MW performance, the Grundig is good, but I'll still take ICF-2010 as it responds especially well to directional loop antennas. Just my 2 cents, thx for listening... 73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [IRCA] WKRC in Cincinnati
I agree with you Bill in BC. My first logging of them was in 1975 when I lived in Lansing Michigan. I sent them a reception report and they responded that mine was they received since recently changing their antenna pattern. I believe this predated the WKRP TV Program by a year or two. I also have a post card from the late 1920's picturing WKRC in a hotel building with two towers and a horizontal dipole antenna with their call sign letters hanging from the antenna wire. Now you that's old, hi.
