Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] OT Light bulbs
Good observation. An incandescent light bulb does have striking similarities to those vacuum tubes from years gone by. They say that much of the energy given off by classic bulbs is wasted as heat. On the other hand, many folks who use the LED lights complain of headaches from the brightness. ms From: bobyoun...@hotmail.com To: a...@nrcdxas.org; irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2013 06:45:44 -0500 Subject: Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] OT Light bulbs Every time I go shopping I pick up a few incandescents, I think LED's are worse than flourescents.

The print editions of PopComm and CQ VHF will be phased out and World Radio will disappear totally. At least this explains the huge mystery of what is going on at CQ (as we discussed at the holiday party). I guess CQ was spread too thin with too many digital publications to manage. Maybe this will work but I think, if I understand it, there will now be just one digital subscription to CQ Magazine which will include CQ plus and maybe a print edition of CQ without Digital Plus.

The new tower was built at the same place as the old and uses the same ground radials. KFBK and the KSTP day site both use Franklin antennas, the only two in the country. A Franklin antenna consists of two 180 degree electrical height (one half wavelength) antennas separated by an insulator, stacked vertically and fed at the center. The top half radiates and the bottom half is the ground. There are no ground radials.

One example I'm thinking of is such that the total length of the antenna AND all ground radials is 3 meters, and does it make much difference if you use a base-fed radiator with radials vs a center-fed segmented short dipole without radials. (The rule in 15.219 specifies the antenna, transmission line, and ground lead cannot exceed 3 meters.) There's other scenarios I'm wondering about, but I'll leave them off as I think it's beyond the scope of this list. As for KFI, I believe the original tower was there long before the industrial complex was built. So, I think there could be ground radials there already, and the new tower was hooked up to them? Or maybe they have another way of grounding it. KFI *is* a few dB weaker at my house than KNX, in spite of being 12 miles closer (99 vs 111). I think it's primarily the partial saltwater path for KNX in my case, though. At a friend's house in Moreno Valley, as well as at my grandma's house in San Gabriel, KFI is considerably stronger, like 10-15 dB. There is a very efficient station that I believe doesn't have ground radials - 1530 KFBK in Sacramento, CA. Also I suspect 1500 KSTP St Paul, MN's daytime site may also not have ground radials, but I'm not totally positive on that one. 73, Stephen Sent from my iPad ___ 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

And, in fact, I only count frequency changes as new stations IF a new station comes on the old station's previous frequency and I manage to hear both (example: me hearing KIDZ-1510 Independence, MO and KCCV-760 Overland Park, KS in 1991, after having previously logged KCCV on 1510 three years prior -- in my logbook I make this notation under KCCV-760: Originally heard on 1510 on 4/9/1988). What you have here is a situation much like WNWI-1080's in 1998. WPOK-1080 in Pontiac, IL went silent, and WNWI-1080 in Valparaiso, IN moved its CoL to Oak Lawn, IL, about 75 miles to north of Pontiac (the difference being, of course, that there wasn't a frequency chance involved, like WKPR moving from 1420 to 1440). In my Iowa City logbook, I have WPOK and WNWI listed as two separate loggings since they were separate entities to begin with. One could also face a dilemma with wondering how to count CJFT-530 Fort Erie, ON and CIAO-530 Brampton, ON, since CIAO took over CJFT's spot on the dial, even though their transmitter sites weren't all that far apart. Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with that, since I was lucky enough to get CIAO on its previous 790 frequency in early 1991, just months before it moved to 530. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska (872 stations logged here, each CL only listed once) From: Chernos Saul sau...@sympatico.ca To: irca@hard-core-dx.com irca@hard-core-dx.com; a...@nrcdxas.org a...@nrcdxas.org; amfmt...@mailman.qth.net amfmt...@mailman.qth.net; a...@wtfda.info a...@wtfda.info Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 8:02 AM Subject: [IRCA] Michigan radio question (WDOW-WKPR 1440) I heard WKPR Kalamazoo on 1440 this morning.

More likely, the reference to North Poleis a coincidence and is actually in reference to Christmas and it's someone stunting on this frequency, perhaps in anticipation of a format change, or a return to the air of a formerly silent station. Not that KJNP is entirely impossible though. It has been heard on the East Coast of the USA as recently as a year or two ago (on a DX expedition in northern Maine). I believe George Sherman in Minneapolis heard it back in the 80s during a DX test. Still, in this day and age it would require a large amount of land and phased beverages, or a set up such as Neil Kazaross has in Illinois and Wisconsin. So the question remains who was it? You don't give much information such as time of day or interfering stations or equipment used. The 800 pound gorilla in the room is WWVA. Where were they? You would certainly want to rule them out before any others. After that, other stations which should be at least somewhat regular in your location would be Tulsa, Davenport and possibly Jackson Minnesota which seems to get out pretty well. Although the South Carolina beachside station WDEK is a daytimer, they can often be heard accidentally on the air at night. Certainly all of these should be ruled out before any thought of this being Alaska. Keep monitoring the frequency and give us as many details as you can, and the information is helpful.

One little trick of the trade to try in verifying stations that don't have qsl cards, is to write to the sales department and get a media kit containing cover letter on station letterhead, take that cover letter down to a good copy center with color copiers (if there is color in the station logo). Cover up all of the writing with thick white paper (leaving the logo, address, etc...at the top exposed to be copied. (8-1/2 x 11 worth will suffice). You should end up with one (or more) nice blank pieces of station letterhead. Then use either your computer printer, or typewriter for those who still own one, and write up a nice verification letter on the sheet (leaving a space at the bottom for the good ol' boy to sign his John Hancock). Always provide a legal siz! ed! S.A.S.E. for return. (If the media kit you received was a small one and came in a legal sized envelope, you can use that to keep your verie in---or some folks like to keep veries in presentation portfolio books).

Re: [IRCA] New MW QSL (KBRV 800)
That is true. By that logic it is to the DXers benefit to have the ability to print up his own ppc. On Facebook, Eric B. showed us a nice example of one he made a while back. (I believe it was WGIL in Illinois)... One little trick of the trade to try in verifying stations that don't have qsl cards, is to write to the sales department and get a media kit containing cover letter on station letterhead, take that cover letter down to a good copy center with color copiers (if there is color in the station logo). Cover up all of the writing with thick white paper (leaving the logo, address, etc...at the top exposed to be copied. (8-1/2 x 11 worth will suffice). You should end up with one (or more) nice blank pieces of station letterhead. Then use either your computer printer, or typewriter for those who still own one, and write up a nice verification letter on the sheet (leaving a space at the bottom for the good ol' boy to sign his John Hancock). Always provide a legal sized! S.A.S.E. for return. (If the media kit you received was a small one and came in a legal sized envelope, you can use that to keep your verie in---or some folks like to keep veries in presentation portfolio books). Downside: these days some stations may no longer even mail out sales kits, but rather refer you to all their information online. It's always worth the extra effort to get that prized verification for your catch. ---Mike Sanburn From: mwd...@webtv.net To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2013 18:57:04 -0700 Subject: Re: [IRCA] New MW QSL (KBRV 800) I think with stations not having access to letterhead, they QSL on anything they can.

Try this on for size: (make that supersize, hi) One Sunday at the close of the Dayton Hamvention about 40 years ago, some Cincinnati friends arranged for a tour of Gray's Radio Museum, The Voice of America installation and WLW, all in or near Mason, Ohio. A bunch of us got back to Illinois late that evening with unforgettable memories... and about 100 pictures. I have told the stories of that wonderful day many times. The wildest stories were from the WLW-RCA 500 KW station. Our guide was an expert on the subject. The original control console was moved over to a side wall, but it was still powered up... likely for the entertainment of visitors. The two experimental calls issued to Crosley were emblazoned on some controls. They were W8XO W8XAL as I remember. BTW, my long time friend Dave, one of those guys from Cincinnati now holds one of those calls. Ask him about when Skip was in. As we walked along the elevated walkway in front of the stages of the transmitter, we were awed by the 6 foot diameter pi wound coupling coils with Faraday shields and we noticed that there were as many water guages and valves as there were meters and controls. Each of the three final stages was water cooled and a fountain in the center of a small lake outside cooled the water. Each final stage was about 8 feet wide and had a metal door you could walk through. Our guide stopped at that point in the tour as we gazed at a huge ammeter with a 150 amp full scale. What's this, someone asked. He told us it was put in for Crosley who got a bug in his butt to see what the rig would really do. The meter showed the total current on the three finals. One night he cranked it up as far as it would go. Keep in mind, the voltage on the finals was 17,500 volts, as I remember. He got that meter up to 100 amps. Do the math. He burnt up some local fences that night. Of course, 13 transmitters (with plug-in coils) each running 220,000 watts simultaneously on several bands down the road at VOA was astonishing, but that 1,700,000 watts at WLW was stuck in our minds all the way home that night. We were TopBand guys, afterall! 73, Best DX, Barry, W9UCW _ Topband Reflector ___ 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

there will be an RF noise, but I am fed up with the poor dialup. The

Subject: [IRCA] Lost out on SRF-42 :( where to get another 1 similar price
to orig new $?
So I was watching an SRF-42 on ebay that was sitting at $25 with no bids. I
put a bid in with a few minutes to go...then with ~10 seconds left got
outbid. I increased my bid, but it wasn't enough. :/ I couldn't afford to go
much over $30-35, and it went for $44.75. (Apparently a third person also bid
on it.) I'm curious who (if anyone here) scored? Also anyone know where I can
get one within my price range (or the price they originally sold for in RS
stores)? Or better yet, one the same size under $50 with digital tuning that
combines the audio bandwidth of the SRF-42 with better selectivity than a
Tecsun DSP radio (there are stations I want to hear whose
heterodyned-with-another-radio's-LO carriers are obliterated with splatter
10kHz away on my Tecsuns even in the ±1kHz BW setting), forces stereo decode
on weak and non-stereo signals (like the SRF-42) and empty/between channels
(42 fails here) and has a low enough internal noise floor so a 5 uV/m
signal (maximum groundwave overlap of a co-channel Class A's protected
0.1mV/m contour) would be nearly armchair copy. :)

Fellow Madison DXer Mark Taylor was over for the test, and we were high-fiving when we heard the code, we were both convinced it came from the station. I'm still hoping that is true. Later we heard very weak sweep tones in the 0007-0008 ELT range, something that's been confirmed by some individuals on this list, so I feel comfortable that I did log this test.

We clap our electronic hands in appreciation of the hospitality and the tours of the Museum led by Steve Raymer, Danny Henry and Courtney Bakken. The evening sessions at the Broadcasting Museum followed business meetings of the clubs. As expected, each club has a somewhat different situation regarding membership size and activity level. Good, constructive input was provided. Ideas on improving Accessibility of club information were offered by several Blind members. Many favorable comments on the DX Audio Service and several suggestions on service will be transmitted to Fred Vobbe. The evening was highlighted by a spirited discussion on the future of the the DX Clubs led by Skip Dabelstein. Some clear thought was offered as to how we might reinforce the services our clubs provide their membership. The NRC members present at its business meeting unanimously approved a Resolution to be transmitted to the IRCA, expressing NRC's interest in joining IRCA for its Anniversary Convention in Billings 2014. IRCA presented its recognition awards to Lee Freshwater and Kraig Krist. Nick Hall-Patch is asked to provide further detail on these awards for the enlightenment of non-IRCA members. Genial warhorse John Callarman reflected on his years in the hobby and announced that he was donating to the NRC his new, unused Perseus SDR, to be sold in a club-wide auction. THANK YOU JOHN!!! Judos to all who attended...and our admiration for the energy (and stamina) of those who 'survived' a long and thoroughly enjoyable day. We also tip our hat in the direction of those fine folks who provided car-pooling to and from the Museum. If we haven't worn everyone out, we begin another day at 9 AM this morning.

One I have wanted for a while is KFIR in Sweet Home, Oregon, about 450 miles from my QTH. At night KDWN in Las Vegas, NV dominates the frequency with their 50 KW power, day and night. I decided to try for KFIR in the time after sunrise in Las Vegas and just after KFIR switched from their puny night power of 184 watts to their day power of 10 KW. Finally this morning about 0530 local time here in the SF bay area KFIR must have shifted to their 10 KW day power and I got reasonably good KFIR reception for about 15 minutes before propagation faded out. Daytime reception of KFIR isn't normally possible at this 450 mile distance. Finally logged it using my Excalibur SDR and Quantum Phaser with two random wires.

Lacking a total eclipse, let`s see if there are any DX effects during the imminent annular eclipse. Beside avoiding looking directly at the sun, if you are close to the path of annularity, tune around MW and even lower SW bands to see if night-like conditions briefly skip in some signals not normally heard in the daytime. Here`s info including maps: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/A-Preview-of-May-20ths-Annular-Eclipse-141037803.html Since the maximum eclipse will be at sunset around here, like from Dallas to Chicago, night-time conditions will already be in effect normally. Sp best DX results should be over northern California, where it`s long before sunset. There might be propagational patches energized for paths at an angle to the path, e.g. from Idaho to southern California or vice versa. But should theoretically be best along the path, i.e. northern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and into west Texas.

Heard at 1100 with woman announcing ochenta ocho A M, the national anthem of México at 1100-1102, and the recently adopted anthem of Sinaloa at 1102-1104. A brief, mostly unintelligible announcement by a woman at 1104, followed by a romantic song performed by a woman at 1105. The signal strength was poor with moderate QRM from Grupo Fórmula station XEV. There was also slight QRM from KRVN. It is México #181 and Sinaloa #13. From rural northern Oklahoma I've been able to hear stations in 19 countries on four continents using an Ultralight. I've yet to hear any signals from Oceania or South America. My furthermost reception is HLAZ, 1566 kHz, Jeju, Republic of Korea, at 11004 km / 6838 miles. Using a barefoot receiver it is JOGB, 873 kHz, Kumamoto, Japan, at 10820 km / 6723 miles. My original intent was never to see how many stations I could log with an Ultralight Radio. It simply evolved in that direction as I continued to listen. Originally it was the challenge of hearing signals from Asia and Europe on a pocket size receiver. It occurred a few months later when I heard JOUB, Akita, Japan, on 747 kHz. Hearing faint Japanese talk here in Oklahoma on a tiny SRF-T615 receiver that first time remains the most exciting moment in this adventure. I think the only thing that could beat it would be to hear Australia. Best wishes and good DX.

Re: [IRCA] Fun Night for sure!
KBOI 950 from New Jersey is a pretty hot catch. Puerto Rico from the Maritimes is not too shabby either. I too am hoping that KOTZ will give it another go maybe next season. It is great fun listening for these outstanding tests. This season I've heard KRSN, KRPI, and KBOIKOTZ and a couple others got away, Murphy's Law is in effect so close to St Patricks dayI still remember that stellar KBOI station tour that Mr. Frahm gave us back in 1995 at the IRCA convention in Boise, hosted by Frank Aden. KBOI is the very first station in my logbook by the way. Glad that I can still hear them with the advent of semi local station KIRN 670. A couple months back I posted a classic KBOI promotional video on the International Radio Club of America Facebook page. It should still be up there if you dig far enough back. (I'm not entirely crazy about their new timeline format). Thanks again to all who participated in these tests. 73 Mike Sanburn KG6LJU From: gsantu...@hotmail.com To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:28:01 -0500 Subject: [IRCA] Fun Night for sure! Saturday March 10, 2012 All, What a fun night even if I did not hear KBOI and KOTZ, but the hunt was a lot of fun and like the good old days. I had KBOI years ago in NJ when they were on 950 with 5k? How in the world was that possible..oh yeah...it was in the 60s! Haha. Only new one caught last night was WKAQ 580 San Juan, PR. The tone on 670 which I was hoping was KBOI turns out to be a het from Cuba...figured it was too strong to be Idaho and never did hear code id's etc. Great catches to those who did hear them. Did anyone hear KOTZ? I was listening online...what a great test! Funny sounds, music and tones, busy phone signals...and nice vox ID's giving directions as to how to apply for a QSL. Thanks to Pierre Lonewolf. Maybe we can try it again when the sun is not hiccuping!

He originally was going to re-run it tonight, but I said that's way too short notice, plus solar stuff and other conditions aren't too great right now. Anyone wanna suggest or share with me when they think the KOTZ test should be re-run? I'll pass comments onto Pierre.

[IRCA] KRPI DX test heard in Southern California
The KRPI DX test was heard fairly well here in the Long Beach CA area. Massive strings of morse code cut through the grumble and XEBG qrm. I have logged them many years ago as KOQT Bellingham on another DX test, so this was rather nostelgic for me. Receiver used was the trusty GE Superadio 2. Thankfully qrn and slopover from KMPC 1540 was minimal tonight. Thanks so much for arranging this program! ---Mike Sanburn KG6LJU ___ 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] McKay Dymek?
'Sounds like you picked up a couple really good pieces of equipment there. I remember reading a lot of their literature back in the '70's, and had hoped to get an antenna from them, but alas 'never did. I believe at that time they (McKay Dymek) were headquartered in Pomona CA.

I recently picked up a McKay Dymek AM5 tuner and DA3 ferrite bar antenna. Both seem to work well. I have found a few bits of info on these pieces on the net, but would be interested to chat with someone who has had more experience with them. I know these are relics from the past, and not top notch DXing tools, but the tuner particularly seems pretty decent. Drop me an e-mail if anyone out there is more familiar with these items.

[IRCA] Test CX
I'm wondering if the solar activity (flare) happening this weekend had a negative effect on band conditions, or possibly the new tower (folded tripole) now used by KRSN is not as skywave friendly ? I remember in 2006 when they tested they were in here like a blowtorch, voice and all.

[IRCA] KRSN test number 2 heard in So Cal (barely)
I caught tonights second KRSN test thanks only to the sweep tones. QRM was extra heavy this time from KSPE Santa Barbara CA, KZZZ Bullhead City AZ, KRKC King City CA which became very dominant towards the end of the test. A bit weaker here than last nights but always happy to hear them. Was using GE superadio 2 again. I like this concept of DX tests on back to back nights! Thanks to all those who made this possible. 73 Mike Sanburn KG6LJU ___ 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
