Re: [IRCA] OT Locksmith duties
Hi Patrick, I'm sorry to hear about your neighbors passing..I too don't handle those type of situations very well either. There have been 6 deaths including my father in the last 3 years and they were all close neighbors. I hope you feel better soon. Sincerely, John Hunter At 01:58 AM 3/16/2008, you wrote: As many of you know, I am a lockmith on the Oregon Coast. I have been one for nearly 30 years. I took the business over from my father. Well, tonight I got a knock on my door, just as I was typing the KRRZ tip a bit ago. I answered it and it was my neighbor's son. He could not get an answer from knocking on his mothers front door. So, I called Lucile and no answer either. I grabbed my tools and headed over. I knocked, rang the doorbell, still nothing except I could hear her little dog barking. The screen door was locked from the inside. I got that open and picked her lock. Her son walked in and as I expected, he found his mother and she had passed. Lucille was a nice lady and she was nearly 92, but had been in good shape and was still diving her car. I knew her since we moved in 1981. So I am a bit upset tonight. Fortunately, I did not view the body as she had made it to her bedroom, but ended up on the floor out of sight. I don't handle things like this very well after losing both of my parents and partner. However, I guess it is a locksmith's job, the good and the bad. Maybe I should not have posted it here, but I had to tell someone. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ 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 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] White-space converter fizzles, again
Technology companies eager to grab vacant airwaves WASHINGTON - Technology companies eager to grab vacant airwaves and use them for high-speed Internet service first have to develop a gizmo that makes the conversion possible. They just can't seem to get it right. Last week, a prototype device broke down again the second time in seven months in the hands of the Federal Communications Commission. Regulators there must be convinced that the airwaves can be used for broadband service in a way that doesn't interfere with other TV programming and wireless microphone signals. An FCC spokesman declined to comment on the matter. Ian Ferrell, director of wireless incubation for Microsoft Corp., one of companies developing the prototype, said the device lost power after continual testing. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.) Technical glitches aren't the only power issues facing the high-tech coalition, whose members also include Google Inc., Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Intel Corp., EarthLink Inc. and Philips Electronics North America Corp., a division of Netherlands-based Royal Philips Electronics NV. The coalition is in a public relations squabble with TV broadcasters, who fear such technology will interfere with their programming. The fight over so-called white spaces is heating up in anticipation of the February 2009 switch from analog to digital signals. Broadcasters quickly channeled the device's break down as evidence of interference risks. The prototype's failure was reported by a trade publication late Friday night. In a press release Monday, the National Association of Broadcasters, the main lobbying group for local TV and radio stations, said the devices are not ready for prime time. This admission by 'white space' proponents vindicates beyond doubt the interference concerns expressed by broadcasters, sports leagues, wireless microphone companies and theater operators, NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton said. Completing a successful transition to digital television ought not to be jeopardized by introducing risky technology that has proven to be unworkable. The FCC in late July said the coalition's first device did not reliably detect unoccupied spectrum and could interfere with other TV programming and wireless microphone signals. In that case, Microsoft said the device was simply broken and failed to work. This time around the company said the device lost power after continual testing and insists it's not a setback. The power issue is unrelated to the technology points we're trying to prove, said Ferrell. The FCC contacted the coalition Wednesday after the device lost power, but Ferrell said once the device cooled down it started to work again properly. In the meantime, the FCC began testing on a second identical device submitted by Microsoft. Edmond Thomas, who represents the technology coalition, said there is no correlation between a test device and a final commercial product, which would address power issues. He said NAB's comments were absurd and extreme. The coalition contends transmitting high-speed Internet service over unused TV airwaves, also known as white spaces, could make it more accessible and affordable, especially in rural areas. Any such device wouldn't be available until the country's switch to digital TV a year from now. The FCC last month said it will conduct a second round of tests in laboratory and real-world conditions, which could take up to three months. It plans to issue a report six weeks after the testing ends. The agency is also testing other white-space devices submitted by Motorola Inc. and Adaptrum, a Mountain View, Calif.-based startup. ___ 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] This week in Buffalo tropo a bashing for Christian translators
Hi John, I totally agree with you. Here in Chattanooga we have 3 stations simulcasting the same format. 99.3, 97.3, and AM 980 WUUS Oldies 98. They are all equally strong here and IMHO it's a total waste of channel space. I'm not even sure who the translators are and who they are translating! Then when I find a rare open channel with a super weak signal and I sit on it for an hour waiting for an ID it usually ends up being a translator for some church organization and they give out about 10 other sets of call letters but never mention the frequencies. VERY frustrating. That's why I have pretty much given up on FM DXing. BTW, I spent many summers in DE up there in a little town called Milford at my grand parents and am very familiar with that state. My father used to be head of the accounting dept and then later on was the plant controller at the Hercules/Atlas /ICI powder company I think in Wilmington and also at the Senter MI plant. Sorry for the ramblings, I just noticed that you're from DE. 73's John Hunter Rossville GA At 11:32 AM 11/5/2007, you wrote: There is just a whole lot of idiocy involved with this translator shell game anyway that really needs to be addressed. For example, the aforementioned REACH-FM has what amounts to two translators that serve Dover, Delaware (on 98.7 and 106.9). Why on earth do you need two translators to serve the whole town? The 106.9 signal works just fine. That 98.7 signal? If you look it up in the FCC database, you find it licensed to Smyrna, DE. But the transmitter is actually in Woodside, Delaware, a full 20 miles away, on the southside of Dover. You can barely hear 98.7 in Smyrna. That one really makes me roll my eyes. I think a lot of these translator coverage areas do overlap anyway. I can hear no fewer than 4 REACH-FM signals here in Smyrna without even trying hard. Of course, the secular stations are just as guilty of this translator farming, as seen in all the licenses I see locally for Temple University in this area. Their 90.1 main signal does just fine and they really don't need half of the translators that they think they do.

Re: [IRCA] UPS
Hi Patrick, They are pretty noisy and put out birdies and noise on the MW band so I turn them off while DXing.

Re: [IRCA] Palstar MW550P

Initially the preamp was noisy, compared to a Wellbrook preamp and a A.R.R. preamp which added no audible noises to a signal. The noise only occurred with the MW550P at home with strong MW stations nearby; on DXpeditions to the coast it was nice and quiet. I had to send it back to Palstar. The reworked unit performed pretty well and the noise was greatly reduced, but I was always disappointed with the preselection below 580 kHz or so. The peaking or preselection was minimal to zero from 580 downwards, which was a shame because that's where I needed it the most due to certain local powerhouses. I'd recommend getting one if you can be sure of returning it if it doesn't work out.
